Those little things that you notice in your day that remind you that many around you had bad parenting.

Todays example: People who walk into elevators before letting the people out.

What's your example of bad public etiquette?

chewing tobacco/nicotine.

as if it's not trashy enough in itself, beaverfever sits around spitting the diarrhea-looking byproduct into a pepsi bottle.

my fishing buddy in WA chewed wads of these tobaccoless little white nicotine packets, which was comparably as gross in every way, except that the byproduct in his bottle looks like cum instead of shit.

People that don't hold doors open, especially when you are carrying something.

Probably isnt the Copenhagen, it's the people not learning to gut it.

people who let their screamin' demon kids run around at large

people who won't stop chomping a cheeseburger while on the phone/talking to service staff who are only trying to help

the high maintenance needy type of people consume a disproportionate amount of a service staff's time and effort (then get cheap on the tip)

people who chew on ink pens, especially when it's pens for communal use (e.g. in a retail shop where everyone is using the same pens to sign receipts)

people who don't cover their mouth when they cough

people who scream like a dunking power forward when they sneeze (beaverfever will literally wake me up in my room with the door closed from two rooms over).

people, you really can be polite about this. (I used to be a loud sneezer too, until I gained a little awareness and just learned some physiological control and some simple damn etiquette)

It's just like farting - sure sometimes a butt trumpet might sneak by, but that's what we call an embarrassing slip. as a whole, you really can be discrete about it. and if it's taboo to audibly let one rip, why is it acceptable to turn a sneeze into a warrior battle cry? you really gonna argue you have less control over your vocal cords than you have over your rectum? you don't need vocal cords to sneeze, and certainly don't need to turn them up to 11. maybe you should evaluate your etiquette when even a fucking dog sneezes more politely than you.

oh! people who let their bad dogs run around off leash

man, people suck.

it's incredible how many of y'all tourists like to congregate in the middle of a doorway to discuss where y'all wanna go watch the Cowboys game.

please move along, there are other people waiting on y'all to stop being a fire hazard.

Those that buy lottery or scratch tickets at a convenience store and take 5 minutes in doing so.

Those that still write checks

Slow walkers in two that chit-chat and walk as slow as they can down a side walk

I was once on an elevator with a woman whose dog shit on the floor.

And the she left it.

The shit, not the dog.

I don't agree with the chewing tobacco unless it's like in restaurant or something.
Don't care if some guy is spitting his dip in a can/bottle while chilling on the sidewalk.
Not any worse than someone smoking a cigarette.
