You’re right, I should have just left my baby home when our family was posted overseas for 3 years, or taken a multi week journey by sea to avoid potentially inconveniencing you during a flight.

Hey - this thread is about disgusting habits in public. People are mad about crop-dusters in the seats next to them. Try being stuck in a metal vacuum-sealed coffin for 16 hours with open human waste, feces, and piercing wails.

It's enough to drive anyone insane.

Have you ever seen the film “Titanic?”

Once I was talking to my neighbor as we stood outside on that little strip of grass adjacent to the sidewalk. At a certain point in mid-sentence, she turned and spat into the grass. This woman is an ivy educated prof at one of the most prestigious universities in DC. I just stood there, stunned.

It was revolting. I thought less of her after that. I say this as a 'second wave feminist'. Although clearly, I still have work to do on my feminist values.

A woman actually spit on the grass? That's so horrifying! Tell us more! With all the other available options, how dare she choose the grass.

IKR! My monocle nearly popped off when she did it.

This isn't directed at the PP who had to get away from the person hacking into the sink, but there are a number of women at my office whose routine is just to get a squirt of Purell on the way to the door, and it grosses me out.

To the PP's who are horrified at breastfeeding: grow up.

seriously--so very sick of their whinge-ing.

So gross. We need to dictate worldwide hygiene/etiquette (yeah yeah spare me the people with no running water--if there is a sink, don't wash feet in it. If there is a toilet, don't stand on it, or poop in the tank or whatever. Don't spit, ever).

We will elect Japan to lead us. They seem to have a handle on this stuff.
Public shaming will be essential. Then shunning, then exile.

Public nail clipping. It's such a bizarre mix of an attempt at etiquette (making an effort to groom oneself) combined with an absolute lack of etiquette (completing personal hygiene tasks in public). What neurological connection gets missed that makes some people feel that that is acceptable?

Spitting/littering- all gross and speak to how someone was raised, but I honest to god think that people who publicly nail clip are a class unto their own and are the missing link between humans and apes.

FIL picking his teeth in front of me at my dining table.

This morning at district taco I got to witness a guy licking the last drop of food on his dish with his fingers and then actually licking the dish clean. He appeared to be sharing the meal with his partner and all I could think was that he should have ordered his own if he was that hungry!

What is it about cars that makes people think they are invisible while riding? Driver picking nose is one I hate. Also disgusting to see people (usually women) with bare feet up on the dash or blocking the A/C vent. Gag.

Ew. In what parts of the world is washing feet in the bathroom normal and acceptable behavior?

Why are you questioning yourself and vowing to be more accepting of vile inconsiderate behavior in others? Did she even say excuse me? Next time will you offer your spittoon? As your Ivy better is she not to be questioned or subject to common decency?
