Unwritten rules that MUST be obeyed?

[RhiChiChi]

Saying 'thank-you' when someone is holding to lift door open/a door open etc...

[Heaven]

If there are lots of toilets free you don't choose the one right next to the one other person in there.

[Floweryfields]

You just DON'T double dip a chip

If you're going to stand on an escalator, you stay to the left leaving a clear passage for others to pass on the right

If stopping for a chat with friends you have unexpectedly met in the supermarket, move to the side of the aisle so other people can get past. Do not just stand in the middle completely blocking the aisle and ignoring the stares of death coming your way from other shoppers. This also applies to footpaths etc.

If someone is holding the door for you you take it from then...don't just walk through and let them close it!

when pushing your supermarket trolley keep to the left of the aisle. if you see something on the other side dont direct your trolley over there and cut people off and get in peoples way. argh i hate that. i suck at explaining but hopefully you ladies will understand.

Oh yes, these and.....

When someone lets you in/does something courteous in traffic - please do wave/nod/smile in appreciation!

What a fantastic thread!! I could be here all night
If you need to turn right and there is no turning lane, hug the inside of the lane so you'r not stopping everybody else to make your turn!

This makes me go spare

Don't jump queues. Queue jumpers go to Hell. But they have to queue up to get in

If you're indicating left the I assume you are going to turn left. Dawdling along with your indicator on is not cool. If you dont know where you're going, pull over and read a map. Dont hold up traffic just because you are an incompetent navigator.
If you are navigatorially challenged, get a GPS. (or get your wife to buy you a GPS )
If you are lost, cannot read a map and your GPS is sending you the wrong way, ask for directions. Your head won't explode if you do. Mine might if you don't and I am stuck in the back seat whilst you drive around in circles.

Kindness costs nothing. Even when you're stuck in the back seat of car with an directionally challenged driver who won't take or ask for directions and you think your head is going to explode in frustration.

Don't park your car on footpaths, forcing a mum with a pram and a toddler on a bike to walk in the road.

[Sopdet]

Don't just barge around a corner, especially near coffee shops in the morning before work starts or around morning tea time.

Don't fart in church

[Glamourcide]

Don't have a go at me because your ex is bringing his new gf to a party I'm throwing, then turn around and say you're coming anyway because you're 'sick of missing out every time' - when I've gone out of my way to invite you to EVERY party/gathering/BBQ I'm having. Maybe if you acted a little more graciously when people invited you to things, you'd get more invites! Hmph.

If you put something in the bin and it fills it up EMPTY THE BIN! Don’t just leave the completely full bin there for the next person that has to put something in it but then can’t because it’s full.

[misty]

If someone does happen to be blocking the escalator (say the 39 week pregnant woman pushing a big pram with a child holding on either side) wait patiently behind for the 60second it take to get to the top, rather then trying to squeeze past.

If you are cappable of taking the stairs, DO SO. Don't insist on using the tiny lift which sixteen different people with trolley's prams, wheelchairs, walking frames and small young children are waiting for.

Don't fart in church

If you MUST pass gas, leave the room... completely.

Erm? Really? I think I missed that etiquette lesson. I fart in cars, in lifts, in planes, in Mass... I ain't shy...

[diva det]

if you are being served in a shop or by a cashier- hang up the phone!!!!!
they dont want to listen to your phone call and have better things to do than wait for you to finish

also my pet hate is people that walk away from where they are sitting at tables and leave their rubbish behind!!! Esp at Maccas and at food courts
FFS pick it up and put it in the bin provided- it aint hard!!!! and it means that other people that are waiting for you to finish, can sit down and eat without having to deal with your rubbish

If a Divvy farts in Mass and no one smells it ... does she really fart?

I choose the cleanest looking loo and check for paper. If there happens to be someone in the cubicle beside the loo I have chosen..... too bad.
I'm not going to sit in a dirty cubicle on the off-chance that my neighbour is a timid tinkler.

[Floweryfields]

timid tinkler.

Love that term!!

love it, i always try and make a gap where possible (clean toilets & paper permitting)

if you use the last of the loo paper, refill!

Ahh yes i think most people seem to forget this one.

If your partner has a headache don't start singing the perri perri chicken song with the kids right next to their head!

Carmakers should not market cars that don't comfortably fit into standard parking spots.
Yes yuppie lady, I saw the evil looks you gave me when my son gently bumped your car with his door. You checked it - there was no mark there. I did also notice the scrape on my car door when I got back. You'd left already. I wonder if you noticed that one?

I'm not sure about other states, but it is illegal to smoke within x metres (can't remember) of a playground.

When driving on the open road and unable to reach speeds anywhere near the limit, pull over when you get a chance to do it safely and let the 10 cars behind you go through. Some truckies are great about doing this, really appreciate it. The old fogies/directionally challenged are not.
