Yeah but don't you think some of them are really silly? :eek::D

At this stage of my long life, I have learned to only let the big things

upset me -- and then only if I think it would make sense to have a

100,000-dollar nervous breakdown over them.

:money:

 

You change the things you can, accept what you can't change,

and have the wisdom to know the difference. (My interpretation

of The Serenity Prayer.)

I tend to agree with Lena on that, yes I find some on the list a real pain to have to deal with, though in a lot of cases, it only takes a few seconds more to smack the idiot that caused it and move on. :big_ha:

Number 29 is my favorite. I was always taught to be polite. A backhand across the back of the head will teach you to always be respectful and polite.

 

I always hold the door open for someone. In many cases at busy places I might stand long enough that people think I'm the doorman. The majority of younger people today will never say thank you. Years ago I was with my Uncle one day going to buy lumber to remodel my basement. As we entered the store out of courtesy and respect for age I grabbed the door and held it open for my Uncle. Another guy followed him in as I held the door. As he approached my Uncle he said you're welcome to the guy. The guy looked dumbfounded and turned his head, uttered something and went on his way.

 

From that day forward when I hold the door for someone and if I get no response I always say you're welcome. I get people that stop, turn around and say thank you, I get people that say sorry and continue on and every once in a while I get a lecture about being rude. In those cases I tell the person that I could have just let the door hit them in the ass and if acknowledging my gesture of good manners is rude then there is something wrong with them.

#23 - Someone at work keeps doing this...I had to put it the right way AGAIN!

 

#47 - not a chance, the ice cream is not going to be in the cone long enough to melt anywhere!

 

:p

But worse than #23 (the toilet paper is on backwards):

Low toilets or chairs in a medical facility!

 

Especially dumb if the facility caters to the aged and

anyone with knee/hip problems and sports injuries.

:ouch:

That used to be my sister's number one pet peeve after she shattered her ankle.

She had a plate with seven screws on one side and three on the other.

She could barely make it from the wheelchair onto the toilet.

Once there, if the paper was on backwards, she literally could not reach it.
