@imgwendolyn2015 I hope the fund raiser does as well as possible. Obviously these situations are highly stressed and I only hope you day goes without unnecessary barbs.

If it helps I was once told 'if you wouldn't take advice from someone why would you listen to their criticism?' - came in handy on more than one occassion.

This needs to be the law. We need a list of offences that allow you to give someone a bop on the nose;

1. Bragging about losing weight whilst putting in zero effort
2. Lining up several people abreast across a foot path and not giving any room when somebody comes along
3. Reaching over someone for something when shopping as if social distancing didn't exist
4. Parking your vehicle on a pavement so wheelchairs and pushchairs have to go in the road
5. Stopping to look at your phone/smoke a cigarette/say goodbye to a friend/whatever non-emerency reason right in front of a door or escalator, blocking it from everyone else.
6. When using elevators, going in first but staying in front next to the doors so others have to go past you in a tight space to get in the elevator
7. When entering the elevator first and not pressing the damn button while standing in front of it (this is especially applicable when there’s only one floor the elevator goes to)
8. Parking your shopping cart sideways on an aisle instead of parallel to shelves so it blocks the aisle while you look for what you want / try to make a decision / read labels / whatever
9. Entering a public transportation vehicle before letting out the people leaving at that stop/station, or standing right in front of the doors so you’re blocking others from exiting
10. Not holding the door open for people with wheelchairs, child prams (what’s the right word?), walking aids, big luggage etc.
11. Taking photos in dressing rooms (there’s a thousand places to take ”yayyyy at the gym, getting the pump on” selfies, a dressing room with other people isn’t one of them)
12. People who don’t return shopping carts
13. Not saying hello or at least nodding to acknowledge on walking trails
14. Dog walkers that let their dogs poo on trails and don’t pick it up.Whew, this felt good.

15. Parking your car so it takes up 2 spaces in a full lot/garage.
16. Being asked "did you win?" when you tell someone you ran a half marathon (or marathon, or biked 100 miles etc).
17. People that let their dogs run loose to chase bikers/runners.
18. Standing in line behind someone at the store - only to have them wait until everything is rung up and they hear the total to even. get. out. their. wallet. and start to look for their money or credit card.

We should probably start a "grateful" list too - just to keep things balanced. We'll start that after we're done with this one!
