    that my neighbour is a timid tinkler.

    Ah, Onyx, you always make me laff!


    DO NOT put empty boxes/bottles/cartons back into the fridge or cupboard. And write on the shopping list that we need more of whatever it is!

    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.

    Don't leave one piece of toilet paper on the roll just so you don't have to be the one who changes it!

    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.

    Can you please tell my DH that Kel?

    If I let you into my lane, give me a thank you wave, or nod, or something.

    Lipstick testers are not for your lips. Ew.

    Supermarket trolleys have a home, and it ain't next to my car.

    A Zebra crossing means you MUST stop if a pedestrian has entered the crossing (especially if they are pushing a pram) and you may not drive off until the pedestrian has completely cleared the crossing.

    If you see a pregnant woman wrangling a pram and a trolley full of plants UP a hill don't wait until she gets to the top and thenask if she needs a hand.

    on the opposite side of this, if u walk out onto a road when there is a car coming and there is NO zebra crossing, dont call the driver a dumb ****, YOU are in the wrong

    If you want to change lanes while driving, indicate first.

    Oh wait...I think that one is actually written down somewhere pity no-one around here seems to realise that.

    Continuing with the zebra crossing theme....just because there is a zebra crossing doesn't mean you get to walk as slow as you have ever walked in your life while crossing on one!

    Actually that is the law for a children's crossing.
    For a zebra crossing you must give way to pedestrians but you can drive whilst they are on the crossing.

    Oh, and take your earphones out before you walk anywhere near a road!!!
    This is only applicable if you haven't donned your cape of invincibility. Once you've put your cape on you can leap out into the road without looking for oncoming traffic, text whilst jaywalking and walk in the middle of the street at night.

    On the zebra crossing topic - the speed bumps that have similar styled zebra lines before / after them are NOT actually zebra crossings.
    They look like pathways for crossing but they are actually not zebra crossings or they would have the pedestrian signs and not just speedbump signs!!!!


    This one is getting my goat - social networking etiquette - if it ain't your news - don't post it!!!
    Surely if you get a welcome baby text you congratulate the family by return text etc, not by posting it all over their facebook wall BEFORE they have the chance to announce it there themselves?!!!!!!! (after they have announced it, do whatever you want! )
