***Annoying behavior In Public Places****

Okay, so your out somewhere in public.  You are in close prox. to a lot of people.......Is there anything that people do that make you just want to come un-glued.  I mean un-glued .....where you physically want to do something or feel like your going to explode????

Boy do I have some.  I would love to hear yours if any to make sure I am not insane.

luv,
Nauty............

SPITTING CHEW ON THE GROUND or just spitting.

People who do the 5 finger dig in their butts.  I want to tell them to either wash it , wipe it or worm it.

Picking their nose and looking at it and then in the mouth the finger goes.

[HelpinUtah]

When people let their children scream at the top of their lungs because they don't get what they want!  My mother would have taken me out to the car and spanked my butt!  Or, at Church when they scream and they don't bother taking their kids out of the chapel so everyone doesn't have to hear it!  

I also have a difficult time watching when someone treats their child horribly.  I watched a man calling his son some horrible names and kept egging him on.  The kid looked to be about 4.  I also noticed he would pinch the child's legs every now and then for no reason and the kid would start screaming.  I finally told him if he kept it up I was calling child services.  He stopped, but gave me the dirtiest look.  I hate it when people abuse their children.  The clerk said she had already called social services on him about 2 days before that.  Hopefully, something positive came out of it!

[NautyOne]

I have so many it's not even funny.  But, I have to say the worst for me is gum popping.  My husband and I used to spend a lot of time at amusement parks......Knotts Berry Farm, Disneyland.......cause we had passes.1200 bucks for a year pass for Disney....OiYYY  and  dang it.....anyway, when standing in line, the minute My husband would hear a gum pop, he would look at the chick first to see if he thought she could kick my A$$ then look at me and see my eyes bugging out and my fists clenched, and say....."Nauty, Nauty, Nauty, no, no, no.  then grab me and start rubbing my neck, and grab me into a complete bear hug, cause he knew......I have had physical confrontations and have even been escorted out of the park because of this.......gum popping is my worst nightmare.

[fengirl09]

When people have family reunions in the middle of the isles in either the grocery store, Walmart, or any other store on the planet. I think it's wonderful that people love to talk and visit w/each other, but pleeeeeassse just move out of the middle of the isle.

I agree w/Utah about the scream kids, especially in the stores. Take them to the restroom and straighten them out and calm them down and then bring them back out. I don't believe in beating a child, but I do believe in correcting bad behavior.

[HelpinUtah]

One time my brother (back in Pennsylvania) was driving me to work.  We were behind this driver who appeared to be picking his nose, I mean really going at it.  We were laughing our butts off.  At one point we were turning left and the driver was going straight, I looked over and it was someone from my Church!  My brother said after that he couldn't see him at Church without wanting to crack up laughing!!!

[sailing1]

I have to agree with all those mentioned above, but add a couple of mine....

Cleaning your teeth in public (with a business card, credit card or what ever....just grosses me out.

And cleaning out your ears in public....really...I watched this guy digging into his ear and then bring out the wax on his finger and smell it!  yuck!  Then he wiped it on his pant leg!

And I'm SURE he wouldn't have put that in your Dare to Share post Nauty.  I did notice the general lack of male coming forth with their grossnesses! (no that is not a word in the dictionary or thesaurus! But it works!)

[sadinmichigan]

OMG..the people that let their kids act like heathens..and then they just smile..drives me crazy. Also when people do not watch their chikdren and they are about ready to fall out of the grocery cart etc..I have had many confrontations about these things.
Nauty- you and I could never go in public together anywhere..one of us would be in jail. LOL
I agree about the gum popping . But even worse to me are the people that chew gum like a cow chewin cud. (whatever the heck that is)..lol..

fengirl-LMAO..I hate those reunions..

[Madisonjsmom]

I was in the grocery store today, and a old man walked past me and "farted" well we say "toot" in my house.  It was loud a grose, I thought how could he!!

Sailing, LMAO because I floss my teeth in restraunts.  I asked my husband is this rude because everyone is looking at me. The problem is once I get it out of my teeth, then what do I do with it?  That is always an issue.  

DANG IT NAUTY...................why do you make me do this.lol

[allaboutmary]

I hate when people kiss their dogs butts in public !

[Madisonjsmom]

You didn't just say that!!!  You just like to kiss your dogs *** in the privacy of your own home.  LMAO

[allaboutmary]

LOL

[NautyOne]

Oh, man......I have to agree with the screaming kid thing.  I will never forget when I was in a restaurant in Mexico......It was outside beautiful ocean view, and this woman had a baby that had the worst cry I have ever heard in my life.......and I mean LOUD  it went on for 25 minutes !!!!   I just sat and laughed watching the other patrons.....watching them leave.......the waiters were just milling around and didnt' say a word?....she just stood there???.....finally the Mother came, and instantly the kid stopped.  

Why didn't she just walk out of the place?  I undstand there comes a point where you just don't hear it anymore, but, for those who dont' have kids or have already gone through it.......come on people......get a friggin clue......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

25 minutes this baby screamed at the top of its lungs.....poor thing...that mush have hurt?....

Nauty...........

[Madisonjsmom]

The guys are reading this thinking this stuff is no big deal,  we do this all the time!lol

[sadinmichigan]

ok..people that make out in public..I mean really, can't you just save it until you get home..

[Madisonjsmom]

Agree,  two weeks ago we were at KFC. Had my little girl in the car.  Pulled up and there were two employees of KFC probally 16 or 17 years old going at it!  I was so mad I told the manager,  she went outside and pulled them apart.

[Madisonjsmom]

Have yall noticed that there is only a few of us on this post?  The same ones, but I bet we have some lurkers.lol It took me a few days but I gave in and come on over!

[sadinmichigan]

lol..lots of lurkers..you know they can't help it. I think sometimes people just take themselves to dang serioulsy...DANG IT!!!!!  or they are afraid of Nauty..lol  just kiddin Nauty girl..lol

[sailing1]

Yeah...it's the same old chatty Cathies in here, but how could a lurker not have a good laugh in here?

As for the PDA comment....I agree.  My partner and I keep the PDA to ourselves because it is out of respect for those who might find it objectionable.  When I was married (for 16 years) my husband and I kept our PDA to a minimum for the same reason.  And as for the gropy, slippery, sloshy, tongue-lashing public out there...get a room!  

That is what I usually say when I see it.....maybe I'm being a jerk, but come ON!

[Madisonjsmom]

Nauty is in deep thought right now.  Please do not disturb her.lol  dang it........................

[Madisonjsmom]

I bet the majority of the lurkers is med-help! lol

[lady67]

I hate to hear a someone refer to their spouse as "my old lady" or "my old man".  To me that is the ultimate form of disrespect.

[starfish1963]

I have major problems with people who say to their own child your just like your   than proceed to tell them what a piece of work they are, no good yada yada yada...I get the uncontrollable urge to smack the **** out of them and I'm not a violent person.
I become unglued when people throw their athourity around like they are someone, HELLO no ones perfect :) power trip people get to me bad.
I get upset with myself if I allow people to get to me lol

[starfish1963]

qoute;I hate to hear a someone refer to their spouse as "my old lady" or "my old man".  To me that is the ultimate form of disrespect.
Rug rats get to me as well!  It's a child for goodness sake, a gift from God!!!!!

[sadinmichigan]

since nauty is in such deep thought..well i can't wait to see wht she comes up with next..

[Jacqui805]

I cannot STAND when people don't control their ill-behaved children in public....it drives me crazy.....that, and people who are in the way in aisles....they don't recognize that law of physics that two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time....so freakin' ignorant....I'm also not a fan of spitting, it makes me want to vomit, and frankly, I don't even understand why one needs to do it anywhere.  I'm 42 yo and I've NEVER needed to spit anything, other than toothpaste....as far as the PDA is concerned, I'm all for it...IF it's genuine, and adults in love, and NOT two teens tryin' to impress the world.

[NautyOne]

CELL PHONES......People who walk up and down the the grocery store talking their **** business.....I don't want to hear it.......ITS RUDE......cell phones are made that you don't have to SCREAM in them......AAAAAAAAAA

I was in the grocery store one day and I was in the soda section, and this guy was on the other isle and it sounded like he was in my face.  I'm standing in front of all the cans and bottles of soda, and I couldn't concentrate enough to find the diet pepsi.  I could feel my blood start to boil.....this older woman was walking down the isle and we just made eye contact.....you know ....that eye contact......she passed by me and I just lost it and I told the guy to "shut the hell up"  "we don't want to hear you anymore"  I was being very kind with my words......the woman turns around and smiles at me and gave me the high five....and just floated away.  The guy kept talking and talking and talking .....I finally gave up with a VERY LOUD.......Shut up Man !!  he kept talking and talking......Dang it !! now I want to go out and find someone to yell at......!!!!!

Deep breaths.......................ok

Nauty.........

[Jacqui805]

I agree Nauty, I hate the cell phone thing too!

[allaboutmary]

I can deal with the cell phones in the grocery stores, but I can't stand it in restaurants.

[NautyOne]

I can deal with cell phones.....they are a part of life, but STFU......keep it low.  I do it all the time.........nobody hears my business.......Ya, Know........???

dang it !

[allaboutmary]

Whats STFU ?    I know what FU is but whats ST ?

[sadinmichigan]

ok..another one..people that lick stuff off the side of their cups..especially at restaurants..and don't even get me started on the public restrooms..omg..how disgusting..

[addict3]

I'm a guy and I have been lurking, I think Nauty needs to find something to occupy her time!!!!
I hate it when people talk on their cell phone or block the isle talking to on another.
I was about 6 days out in my W/D and made a quick run to Wal-Mart, this lady was blocking the isle with her cart talking on the phone, people were backed up on both sides waiting patiently for her to realize that she was not the only one in the store until I walked up waited a second and then proceded to give her a verbal lashing that I normaly would not have given to my worst enemy! I even followed her down the Isle telling her off!!!
I still feel badly about that, Hope I never see her again...........or her husband or bf!!!!!!!!.........I mean I used some really bad language!!

On of my most embarassing moments also,,,,,,,,,,,,so I answered 2 of them in here Nauty one!!!

[LIZZIE LOU]

OMG...i CANNOT stand to be at a restaurant...eating and enjoying my meal...and some lame@ss man at the table next to me BLOWS HIS NOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  i cant even finish my meal.  gee thanks dude!

[flmagi]

1.Chewing with mouth open
2. Ear cleaning any where other than the bathroom with a Q-Tip
3. Nose picking
4.Child abuse of any form
5. Doctors that over schedule and make sick or people in pain wait. (had the cops called on me one time because of this)
6. People that park their carts in the middle of the isles and walk away (I enjoy taking their carts and moving them to another isle)
7. People that forget they're fat and block small isles (I'm not prejudice against fat people, I'm overweight myself)
8. People that take up 2 parking spaces (I like to park as close to the drivers door as possible when they do this)
9.Cities that plant large trees or bushes in the medians at busy intersections so you can't see.
10. Cells phone use in restaurants and movies.
11. Customer Service people on personal phone calls ignoring you.
12. Being put on hold.....by anyone.
13. People that call you, then yell at their kids 3/4 of the call. Or talk to other people in the background.
14. People that bring kids to adult parties.
I could go on and on and on...............this is why I'm a hermit.

[NautyOne]

Yeah, I think your right .....I do need to find something to occupy my time.  Maybe I will take up lurking.....Don't make me come over there and "gut U like a Fish".....lmao!!

Mary, dang it.....that was a piece of work.  I think you pretty much covered it.  I bet you feel a bit better now.......lol.

Nauty...........Oh, Mary......S-hut T-the and the FU is self-explanitory......-))

[flmagi]

Naughty, Were you taking to me, Magi?   I know Mary and I look alike and talk alike but he!!, naughty, you can't see or hear us!!!!!!   LOL LOL

[Madisonjsmom]

My dad will walk out of a restaurant and hold one nostril and blow out of the other nostril without a tissue! Wow what a sight! It just goes streaming and you better get out of the way.lol

[sadinmichigan]

omg..i hate when people call..and then yell at their kids in my ear for most of the time...good greif!!

[Jacqui805]

O.k., I was just out to the pizza joint, and I HAVE to add, I can't STAND it, when someone chews with their mouth OPEN!  F'in EW!

[starfish1963]

Chewing with mouth open makes me want to slap someone....
Speeding down a dead end street, like this is a race trace or something...I got pretty vocal in a nice way of course tonight at one of the weekend worriors :)  I like to put my point across in a nice way that cuts to the bone, I should work on that, not nice at all but very threputic

[lady67]

It absolutely infuriates me when I see guys with their pants hanging way below the equator.  I am not talking about "plumber's crack", I am talking about the kids who let their pants sag and they hold them up by holding their crotch.  I told the students at school I was going to wear my pants sagging and they said, "Ewee, we don't wanna see that" to which I replied, "And you think we want to see yours?"  They look like a baby who has had on a dirty diaper for about 2 days.  NAAAASSSTY

[merrymaria]

i get ticked when people go through the 15 item or less checkout insisting they only have 20 items and it ends up being 40 or more,  also drivers who don t know how to use turn signals and cut right in front of you at 50 mph. arrrrgh!

[dominosarah]

Im just going to sit here and lurk all the while scratching my butt.

[sadinmichigan]

just don't put your fingers in your mouth until you wash...lol

[NautyOne]

Oh, no......did I do it again.......I'm sorry.......something we will have to live with.....I will try harder to pay attention........oh, sure.......dang it ~~~!

sorry.

nauty...........

[Beargizmo]

along with Nauty's cell phones...text messaging...people who have to stop in the aisle of a store or some place and text message, oblivious to the rest of the world that is continuing to function and in order to do so, must get around this troglodite that's text messaging somebody they're probably going to see in 15 minutes.

and cell phones...I hate  'em, hate 'em, hate 'em...don't even get me going..did I say I hate them? Yes, they have their place and come in handy..but I hate 'em..My God do I hate them...a person on a cell phone suddenly becomes the single most important person in the universe..the checkout line grinds to a halt, traffic snarls, nice quiet conversations are interrupted.

My doctor's exam room has a sign, and I cannot believe he has to have a sign like this..I just can't..it says "NO USAGE OF CELL PHONES WHILE SEEING YOUR PROVIDER"..What?? People would do that?? talk on the phone (or text) while seeing their doctor?  "yes, you wouldn't believe it says my doctor.

[NautyOne]

I was at a very good friends mothers funeral.  3 times cell phones went off ......I mean the real loud and natsty ringtones.......3 times folks....I was mortified and would have beat the **** out of every person whos phone rang If It wasn't a funeral........And to top it off ....... they answered !!!!!  Omg..I totlly forgot about that........I want to beat these people senseless... ..what are people thinking.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nauty.......

[Beargizmo]

That's when you want to grab the damned things and stomp them into little bitty pieces.

My wife has somehow decided that rather than call me at work on my work phone, she can text me on my cell phone..that pisses me off, but what really gets me is the ringtone I have for her calls/messages is "hey good lookin'" by Hank Williams which of course the whole office hears.  I now leave the damned phone turned off at work.

Or..the only place in the universe it seems where I have peace and and do what I want (within reason) is in my truck when I'm alone..I can listen to music..whatever music I want..loudly if I want..well, for some reason that's when my wife calls and wants to talk about something...I'm only 20 minutes from home!  I can wait to hear about the cat puking on the living room rug, or one of my daughters getting fired from her job, etc..so now..when in such situations..the phone stays off...and I can listen to music and smoke cigarettes and just wind down from the day.

[enemy48]

Nearly everything has been covered here, but I didn't see anyone write about guys scratching or adjusting themselves.

When I'm talking to a guy, and he has to adjust himself....like move it to the other side...and you can see it wiggle........GROSS!  Especially when he's gross, it makes him even grosser.

And when it's an itch.......all I can visualize is that there's cheese, and I want to gag.

Like, can't your d*ck wait till the conversation is over?

[sadinmichigan]

all I can say is think for the mental "cheese' picture..LMAO...GROOOSSSS

[dominosarah]

and how do you not look when they are "reracking"!!!

[Clamity2]

What makes me want to punch someone in the face ? Wow so many things. Really !
When a young gay man was murdered near here and people talked about how "he was looking for it."  
I hear rednecks talk about black people disrespectfully or any race.
Children with special needs being called retards. Or parents calling "normal" children retards. REALLY makes it hard for me not to jump on them, impossible not to jump in thier face.
When a woman is attacked and people say, she was looking for it.
When one of the kids I care for (with autism) has a meltdown in wal-mart because I won't give in to a demand and other people act as if they are victims

[AnxiousGurl]

TALKING IN MOVIE THEATRES
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[AnxiousGurl]

& when people stare at those who are disabled, that reallly P*SSES me off. ugggh. Like take a picture it last longer

[Beargizmo]

you have just 1 question to ask of a droid at a large retail store like Best Buy..and you can't get anyone's attention.  


Jim

[Sunnyd210]

Well Nauty I am a gum snapper its bad I cant help myself. Anyway I HATE the cell phone thing to its VERY annoying. The thing that gets me the most though and it hasnt been mentioned is people who drive SLOW in the FAST lane. I hate hate hate that it drives me CRAZY get out of my way dang it!!

[Beargizmo]

90% of the time an old guy wearing a hat and driving a buick.

[michaelgc]

Ooo, pet peeves, I have more pet peeves than Carter's has little liver pills! Here are some of the most frequent:

Cell phones. Period. I don't care when or where, or what your ringtone is, or if you are texting or talking. There simply is not one single person alive on this planet so important that they need to be accessible 24/7. I think cell phones should be restricted just like nudity - allowed in the privacy of your home, on plainly marked special beaches, in special clubs in the bad part of town, or in special cell phone colonies, and illegal anywhere else.

People who chew with their mouths open and
People who talk with food in their mouths.

Profanity. In public, in movies, or on TV. It adds nothing to the conversation, and if you call up a mental image using the terms used, usually makes absolutely no sense, or is totally disgusting.

People who finish a drink, and then chew on the ice. I was known for kicking people out of my car at the drive-in for this one.

Men who are physically, mentally or emotionally abusive to women, and
Adults who are physically, mentally or emotionally abusive to children.

Parents who allow their kids to do/say whatever they want, wherever they are.

People who are abusive to animals.

People who call me with a 30 second message, and then feel obligated to try and hold a 30 minute conversation. Say what you have to say, and hang up. I don't do small talk, get over it.

Doctors who ask me how I'm doing, and then don't listen to what I have to say.

Doctors who act like I'm an imposition because I have questions. I know what I am paying you for your time, you are charging more than what your time is worth, don't give me funny looks when I make you earn some of it.

[michaelgc]

My bad, 3 of mine don't deal with public behavior. Please ignore those 3. LOL

[Beargizmo]

As I tell my wife..if you don't want me to talk with my mouth open, don't ask me a question while I'm eating.

Jim

[NautyOne]

Thats it !!  I am removing you from my friends list.....Snap!!........:-))

nauty........

[VicoMom]

1. When you go to the grocery store and are trying to find a parking space and there are say... 5 parking spots near the store that are occupied, then from the 6th space on, there is plenty of parking... And some IDIOT sits there if front of you waiting for the person in spot 2 to unload their entire cart into their vehicle just to save themselves from having to walk an additional 10 yards or so... I have been known to practically lay on my horn and stare until they move.

2. People who merge onto the Interstate doing 20 MPH when traffic on the Interstate is doing 70 or better... This is why we call it MERGING, PEOPLE!

3. I have to agree with whoever talked about the ice-chewing... I hung up on my best friend once because she kept crunching her ice in the phone... I just hung up and didn't answer the rest of the day... I was so PISSED off.

4. Snooty people in line at the grocery store who stare at you in revulsion when you pay for your purchases using some type of government assistance (in a time when you need it and are TRYING like hell to better yourself). I turned around once when one woman SIGHED at me and said, "GAWDD*** WELFARE RECIPIENTS! They're EVERYWHERE!" And her surgically altered jaw hit her DKNY blouse in a hurry... Lol.

5. People who are abusive to their children... My daughter and I were in a drive-thru one night and the woman in the car ahead of us had a child, I'd say about 3 years old, who was not in a car seat or booster or a seat belt for that matter... Anyway, she was on her cell phone and ever-so-often kept turning around and just WAILING on that poor kid. I was so angry... My 12 year old daughter was angry.

6. Which leads me to another one... I hate it when people ask me to pull forward in the drive-thru... I have a tendency to look at the lady and say, "No. I was here first. This is a line. They will wait." But - I cut that out after I started getting paranoid about boogers and loogies in my food...

7. ANY man that beats a woman - in public or otherwise...

8. The people who can not figure out how to use the Self-Check-Out thingie but INSIST on standing there for 30 minutes trying to scan 3 items...

There are soooo many more... I am a severely pissy person... Lol.
