Worst social faux pas

Poll question: Worst social faux pas

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Can we vote for more than one?

[DS1]

2. That would be a nice feature, wouldn't it?

:sigh:

[neweurope]

3. Somebody explain please - what's double-dipping?

----------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

5. Seinfeldism

Dipping a chip into dip, taking a bite, then dipping the chip again.

[DS1]

6. One chip, tostito, dorito, etc - two dips in the salsa or cheese dip

Seinfeld based an entire episode on it :-)

[WeRQ4U]

7. Seinfel Reference that has become mainstream

Like dipping your chip into salsa, taking a bite off the end, and then redipping the same bitten chip into the salsa. That, my good friend, is double dipping. DOnt' do it.

[Lost4words]

13. You dip a chip into dip take a bite and dip again.

I was called out by some little female at a party once, didnt know I had committed a crime. I had even rotated my chip so I wasnt dipping my slobber sideded chip back in. thought she was going to have a cow over it.

23. sometimes it's OK to double-dip ~ if you flip

[WeRQ4U]

4. I went with not tipping.

Not because not doing it threatens to crumble our very social structure, but because when people don't do it, I get pissed off.

20 percent gratuity is minimum for job well done.

[Pithlet]

8. Not tipping

Followed by talking in a movie theatre loud enough to disturb others.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. Asking the lady friend who's gained a few pounds

when her baby is due.

[Mutley]

12. ooo that ones dangerous.

I don't even ask women who are very obviously pregnant about their due date. It would be my luck that I'd ask the woman who looks ready to go into labor at any moment that question and she'd tell me she's not pregnant.

[Mutley]

10. Cutting in line.

That bothers me more than anything else on your list. This woman at the convenience store today literally pushed me to cut in front of me. I pushed the bitch back and stepped in front of her.

[mark11727]

15. I think I met her in DisneyWorld last month...

...and her five thousand cousins.

[Mutley]

17. Grrr. I don't do well in confrontations

but I will not hesitate to tell someone who is cutting in front of me off!

[Spider Jerusalem]

11. Not tipping, talking in theatres, and cutting in line.

I've worked for tips; I only tip 15% if I get bad service, and only withhold the tip if I get truly horrible and indifferent service. For good service, I'll tip 25-30%, and 20% is standard. The other two are just as bad, IMO.

Oh, and talking on a cell phone in the checkout line at the grocery. Loudly. Whilst gesturing with your free hand. About things that shouldn't be discussed in public. (Some people should just be neutered for the good of humanity...)

[matcom]

14. THIS

[davidinalameda]

16. but that two piece looks fine on you

:shrug:

[DS1]

18. but only using sunblock on my face makes my skin look great!

:D

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

19. Nothing aggravates me more than people talking in a movie theater

but nothing is more disrespectful than not tipping someone who performs a service for you, such as a waiter/waitress as that is the most common form, and depends on tips to make up for usually being paid minimim wage.

So I vote for a tie between the two.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. Dining on the contents of your nose

[miss_kitty]

21. rudeness

looking through someone else's medicine cabinet - I never look through peoples stuff-but I sometimes inappropriately look through the fridge, with the fridge owner there-not so much anymore.

double-dipping - Having spent waaaaaay too much time in the hospital I find germ spreading :puke:worthy

farting in the elevator - My dad used to do this-when there were at least two other people on with him. Then he'd glare at the others. Very rude.

leaving the seat up - I've do this to myself, and find it rude. The 3 am splash is the worst wake up.

not tipping - Rude and selfish. Waitstaff work extremely hard and are paid not much.

cutting in line - My sister does this all the time and made me do it when we went to see 'Amadeus'. She called it 'merging' I call it RUDE.

talking during movie in theatre - Depending on the movie, movie talkers should be frog marched out of the theatre. Some movies it's actually ok.

littering - Chop of their hands. Cigarette butts are litter too.

Fine list. I couldn't pick just one. I'd add-omission of the 'thank you' wave, or the words "Thank you" when someone does another a kindness. "Excuse me" is often MIA too.

[Dukkha]

22. how could you forget the ULTIMATE rudeness

Cell phone use!

used in movies, hospitals, cashier lines, etc...

people CONSTANTLY do it and it needs to end here and now! I always wish I have a air horn on me whenever I see one of these assclowns!

[miss_kitty]

25. In fact it's rudeness in the XTREME in a hospital setting

since it can cause some life-saving equipment to fuckup.

[stellanoir]

24. other. . .

Telling a reasonably attractive woman in a casual social situation that he would like to have sex with her and when she retorts, "But I'm an old woman. . ." responding by saying, "so? "

Not the appropriate response for seduction.

All in all and in the grander scheme of things, it's a really minor social faux pas I'd reckon.

[zbdent]

26. I can't live down the time I walked into church buck naked

I was dreaming that I was asleep in my bed . . .

:evilgrin:

[yvr girl]

27. asking when the baby is due

to a woman who IS NOT pregnant.

[SOteric]

28. How about the ever popular,

saying "Thank you, Sir," to a woman, and/or "Thank you, Ma'am" to a dude.
