Common Sense & Basic Etiquette...not so much!

Oh my goodness peeps…It seems that basic common sense and good manners just don’t exist anymore.  I truly believe people would be less angry if we were just a bit nicer to each other….Here are a few, but by no means does this list even dent the world of good manners and etiquette!!

10. Let the people out of the elevator first!! For crying out loud people. I get you are in a hurry, but don’t haul ass over the people trying to get out.  (And must you be on your phone inside an elevator??  Your call is most likely going to be dropped anyways) 

9.  Speaking of cell phones, don’t yappety yap yap on your cell phone inside a restaurant.  Go outside.  For the love of all that is holy.  Seriously?  People spend good money on a night out and it’s rude of YOU to ruin it by yapping constantly.  Can you say aggravatinggggggggg!  I don’t give a shit what you did the night before, or with whom, and with what..Don’t CARE.  In case you missed it, DON’T CARE.  I can go to a Wal-Mart checkout line if I want to hear about the antics of others..(Whoa, had to get that one off my chest!)

8.  Does chivalry really have to die?  Is it so hard for a man to hold a door open for a woman these days….really?  I’m not asking for a jacket over a rain puddle..just sayin, don’t let the door close in a lady’s face.  And for the ladies, don’t forget to say thank you!!

7. On that note; saying thank you.  What the hell happened to that?!??!  For pete’s sake, saying please and thank you never goes out of date.  Thanks.

6. When invited over to someone’s home for the first time, bring a small token of appreciation.  A bottle of wine is generally a great gift.  If they don’t drink, obviously find something else as a nice gesture.  This practice has not gone out of style contrary to some beliefs.

5. Honestly…Just because YOU like your children, does not mean everyone else has to like them.  If they are crying inside, go outside, seriously.  We get it, kids are the devil sometimes, it happens.  But it’s just not fair to ruin things for other people because of it…...one word for you, SELFISH.

4.  Would it kill you to give up your public seat for the elderly?  Honestlyyyyy.  They’re freaking old, help them out.

3. Just because pedestrians have the right of way, does not mean you take your SWEET ASS TIME crossing the road to hold up a line of traffic waiting on you.  What is wrong with you?!?!?! Could you please walk at a brisk pace to get the hell out of the road.  Thank you. (refer to #7)

2. Being a good neighbor is great.  Looking out for your neighbors makes you a rock star, being a busy body and nosy makes you a nuisance.  Mind your own business.

1. Pick up your dogs pooh in public!!!!  What is wrong with people.  It’s YOUR dog, pick it up.  Don’t bring them outside if you don’t want to pick it up.   It’s a health hazard to others, it ruins shoes and its GROSS!! Knock it off people and pick up your pooh.

This doesn’t even begin to cover office etiquette, travel etiquette, or even dating etiquette.  Maybe next time, until then, just show a little love J

Xoxo,
