80% of people tend to notice and adhere to our societal "unwritten" rules. But for every rule there's still 20% who either just don't get it or go "f*** you, I only care about me"
So this thread is aimed at those people who may not be aware. Hopefully a few people read the rules posted here and go "Oh, I just heard a penny drop".
So let's get some down. Here's a few to start:
1. Escalators. Stand left. Walk right. If you want to stand and stand in the right hand side then you are stopping people who want to walk. If you stand on the left then you can have your way and others can have theirs.
Every time I'm at a shopping centre I see 80s of the people standing on the left and then some peanut gets on and stands next their companion on the right. For the life of me I just can't work out why they don't notice everyone ahead of them standing left and the whole right hand is clear. Could they be slow learners?
2. Driving. Same as above. Just don't be in the right lane unless you are overtaking or if it's very busy peak hour.
3. Parking. When parking on the end, do just that - park right up against the sign post or driveway or whatever. Don't leave a gap where no one can park.
4. When leaving a food court in peak hour (ie lunch time) put your rubbish in a bin. It's most likely that someone else who wants to eat will want your table before a cleaner takes your rubbish away. If you leave your rubbish then you're expecting a fellow diner to clean yo' shit up. Not cool.
5. When you go the deli section of the supermarket and take a ticket, move away as soon as you take your ticket. Don't stand their and block everyone else as if you're the last person of the day who is buying something. Same goes for elevators. Don't stop still at the bottom as soon as you get off.
6. Don't make your own queue. When you're at the post office and there's one queue then stay the f*** in that queue. The concept is that you get to the front and take the next available counter. it's the most efficient way of running a queue. Don't be a knob and start lining up behind a counter thereby creating multiple queues and f***ing it up for everyone else. I'm talking to you, pensioners.
Not poor social etiquette
I keep hearing people complain about people getting served in shops whilst on their phones. person in queue, gets a call, is having a quick convo, gets to front of queue, "6 bagels please mate" whilst on the phone. Nothing wrong with this. Doesn't inconvenience or affect anyone else like the points above. I think maybe people are just complaining because they work in retail. I just don't see an issue with this. Welcome to the 21st century.
