    Eat someone's stuff, you better buy replacements and put them back exactly how you found the first lot.

    This rule is broken often at my office...sometimes by me...

    The more you talk about how you don't give a *kitten*....the more I think you do.

    Starting a sentence with "honestly" tells me you need me to know it's not your usual lie.

    Toilet paper rolls!! First, of you use the last bit, replace it. I mean actually put it on the holder. Second, it goes over not under!

    Don't leave one swig of anything left in the fridge! Pure laziness.

    Don't walk down the middle of the parking lot at the pace of a snail. Pick a side.

    Unspoken rules for my friends:

    Don't talk to me about church/religion
    Don't ask me to babysit your child regardless of age/reason
    Don't try to sell me any MLM junk or invite me to a "party" or "event" promoting such

    Yes! And when you cross to walk into the store you take the fastest route from point A to point B. Do NOT walk diagonally in front of cars!! My car will win that battle.

    In the grocery store or any store you shouldn't stop your cart or body directly in the middle to gawk or to catch up with your old buddy.



    This one of my biggest pet peeves.

    If you see a person pushing someone in a wheelchair towards the door you’re coming out of and you don’t hold the door for that person, then you’re a VILE and disgusting person. It’s even worse when folks SEE you coming and look you dead in the face and STILL let the door slam shut. My neighbor did this when I was pushing my mom up the ramp into our apartment building yesterday. It took every ounce of self control I had to hold my tongue. Nobody has any home training of etiquette these days. F****kheads.

    When you have a guest on your couch, toss them the remote. Don't make them suffer through your favorite stock trading show on CNBC.

    agreed X 10 - It is basic common courtesy to hold the door for someone - anyone - but so much more for someone who is elderly, , on crutches, wheelchair etc - or the lady with her arms full of kids & groceries . Basic manners the their parents should have taught them long ago. That & parking in a handicap spot when you aren't . My dad at 92 y/o still does not have a handicap tag for his car. Eastcoast Jim

    I hold the door open for everyone. I am the person who makes it awkward because I hold it for people who are like 20 yards away, but it is just courtesy. And if it is someone who has issues with mobility or their hands full then I will run ahead and open other sets of doors or help them in another way if they need it.

    lmao this is me! I do the same with elevators. I dunno.......It’s just second nature for me to be courteous. Even my brother who is the biggest jerk on the planet holds the door for people smh..,..

    Reactions to a comment should either be evenly distributed amongst all five or all reactions should be of the same category.

    This. Very similar situations. My mother was in a wheelchair as well when I was growing up, and it was terrible. I'm one who will hold a door open for someone even if they're a ways off. Just common courtesy

    If the food in the shared fridge is not yours, common sense says don’t eat it jerk face.

    I used to work somewhere that they put a sign on the fridge telling people not to steal other people's food. I was ashamed that a bunch of professional adults had to be told that

    Hey! If your “Sammie” looks better than mine, you better eat it before I notice...that’s my unspoken rule!

    Someone took the cookies out of my lunch a few years ago. So, I baked up a batch double chocolate, chocolate chip cookies bagged them and put them in the fridge. Needless to say, a couple of hours later, I found out who the food thief was when they were cussing up a storm from their burning mouth. Needless to say, a double dose of jalapeno juice extract in the cookies made for a nice delayed reaction. ;)

    Ever since then, I put absolutely nothing in the fridge at work. I bring in a cooler and keep it at my desk. Too many nasty people in the office.

    If it hits the ground and you pick it up in under 5 seconds nobody can call you out about eating off the floor.

    Do not clip your fingernails or toenails in public places

    This! I can't stand to hear people clipping their nails at work. I understand the occasional need to clip a broken or snagged fingernail but when I keep hearing snip, snip, snip I know you are clipping all of your nails......ugh.

    I’m my new office, I have my own fridge. I have offered it to other employees in my building. I have had no takers. I have been eating out a lot since moving into my new office. :'(
