People that don't look out for cars when crossing roads Wtf? Case in point ..i had reached a road and had stopped waiting for the cars to clear so I could turn right onto a fairly major rd. A couple who was about 60 + came towards my car from the left hand side , they then proceed to walk in front of the car . Okkkkk. I waited till they past and went right. As I did so they continued walking instead of looking for oncoming traffic . A guy turning from the main road nearly bowled them over but they were unperturbed . No wonder we have so many pedestrians killed each year.

Everyone is too busy on their phones seeing what their friends ate for breakfast.

It's usually old people who seem to either not value their lives anymore or who don't have any awareness, rather than people staring at their phone.

The amount of times an old person has slowly crossed Canning Highway, causing traffic to have to slow down for them is insane. All it takes is one bogan hoon or a distracted teenage girl and they would be flattened.

LOL women's footies. They'll probably be sized under some completely irrational system so no one's feelings are hurt.

Listening to Hamish and Andy, and they've asked the question whether it's okay to put used napkins on the plate if you've used it to blow your nose.

I thought this was a no brainer of course it's okay but apparently to some it's not?

I do it with used toilet paper, so I don't see why a napkin would be a problem.

I never get a second date though...

Don't blow your nose at the dinner table you uncultured swine

[Gough]

Napkin, get Mr. Fancy Pants. I use the table cloth.

Surely the real question is 'is it OK to blow your nose with a serviette?'. If you wipe your mouth with a serviette (it's not a napkin, this isn't 'murica) and put it next to the plate the waiter/waitress is still going to pick it up.

 

[Marklar_33]

I don't understand the obsession with not using "American" terms

I've never used the word serviette. My phone didn't even recognise it

Why would it be okay - considering the nose is one of the dirtiest parts of the body why on earth would you place it back on the table.

The nose?

Really?

I'm fair sure the mouth would be dirtier.

 

[BALKAN]

seriously why are you blowing your nose at the table?

Mouth, nose, eyes and throat
Would you think it okay to clear the throat and spit in the napkin and pop it back on the table

Yeah

I assume all waiters and waitresses undergo constant hand hygiene.

When I worked in hospitality, I never even gave it a second thought, as long as people put the tissues on the plate so I wouldn't have to pick it up with my hand and chuck it on the plate. You grab the plate, tip it in the bin.

If I ever touched anything like a tissue I immediately wash my hands.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Because you have to blow your nose?

 

[WCErevival]

Its just poor etiquette. Dont blow it at the table and if you're that sick then you probably shouldn't be eating around others anyway. You need to keep germs to yourself not spread them around.

 

[Cleavy]

parking in the shopping centre carpark being the only car in a 50 spots radius , and upon returning to my car I find someone in the spot next to me. You couldn't have chosen a different spot?!

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Blow your nose in the bathroom you pigs

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Because you have to blow your nose?

Excuse yourself from the table and then blow your nose in another room. Sorry, but doing it at the table is just gross.

 

[CM86]

I really don't mind someone blowing their nose at the table, nearly as much as I mind people gnashing away with their mouths open.

Or holding cutlery like this:

Dunno why, but it's like fingernails on a chalkboard.

The new KFC Zinger Black Burger.

Why would they go to the trouble of making the buns black? It just looks like they've burnt the shit out of it.
