I especially like the one about people putting their dirty shoes on seats around them, not caring that someone else is going to sit there at some point. This comes up on the train here in Denver constantly, and it really irritates me. Looking back at my list, I can see where I left things off... like people taking up two seats on public transportation and then acting all put-out when someone asks them to move so they can sit there. I may need to expand my list of What Really Grinds My Gears!!Diane Tingenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11233557863633027893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96293558538507834.post-29377557752453245122011-08-31T08:26:26.030-06:002011-08-31T08:26:26.030-06:00Hi,

Loud talking when a normal volumne would suffice. People putting their feet on chairs not caring that their shoes have been walking on spit dog poop or whatever and then not caring that someone has to sit on this. Then there is the courtesy flush...instead of just sitting there for minutes as the air starts reeking a simple courtesy flush would be great. Or people wearing facemasks while they make food with their nose uncovered defeating the purpose of wearing the mask in the first place. Or the hairnet to cover the hair...either cover it all or do not wear one. Hospital workers wearing their shoe covering booties for the operating room out of the building and then walking back into the operating room...they are not to keep your shoes clean they are to keep germs out of the surgical area. Same goes for fast food workers with the gloves...again consideration for others. Wonder if this is a learned behavior or just common sense...whatever its lacking and it bugs me sometimes.<br />Great posting, have not been here for awhile and am enjoying catching up on your work! Have a good one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96293558538507834.post-16450277481039629702011-08-16T10:09:33.952-06:002011-08-16T10:09:33.952-06:00For me, talking on cell phones is annoying because...For me, talking on cell phones is annoying because the people who do this usually talk loudly and seem to have no concept that there are others around. I don't mind it so much if they keep their voices down, but rarely does that happen. It bothers me when people talk too loudly regardless of whether they are talking in person in public or are on a cell phone, so that's not it either. My gripe about this has nothing to do with only hearing one side of the conversation or eaves-dropping. It's the loudness thing, especially when there's personal information being conveyed.<br /><br />And yes, when people park way over the line and then you have to park next to them, which makes you park too close to the other line, it makes you look like you're the moron when the other driver returns - and that really grinds my gears as well. Of course, people leaving nasty notes when they don't know the whole story really grinds my gears, too!!Diane Tingenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11233557863633027893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96293558538507834.post-46336445132473949772011-08-16T00:26:41.583-06:002011-08-16T00:26:41.583-06:00I can agree with all of these, I think... except f...I can agree with all of these, I think... except for #9. I hear a lot of people complain about people talking on cell phones, but I don't really get why. Not once have I ever heard someone complain about 2 people talking in person especially if it's personal. It's fascinating and funny then. I think the complaint is that you can only hear one side of the conversation and THAT seems rude that you can't fully eavesdrop. Being a pretty nosy person myself I think that hits the nail on the head.<br /><br />But #10 really chafes me too. In a small parking lot once I had to park in a tiny portion of a space because it was the only spot and some huge redneck truck was way over the line. That forced me uncomfortably close to the car on the other side of the space. So I go in late for a Dr appointment and the big truck obviously left soon after I got there making it look like I was the moron to the driver of the car on the other side of mine. They left me a nasty note and everything. Sometimes it's not always what we see...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
