Unwritten rules that MUST be obeyed?

Nah not at all C~Q, all DH's family do this and it drives me nuts!

If you're sitting at a table...push the chairs back in when you're finished. Tables look so messy with chairs sticking out at all angles...just push them in! Is that anal?

Nope not anal. It's my pet hate at work.

My previous school trained us to put our chairs in in the staff room - we had a wheel chaired staff member so it was a safety issue. Now I find that I have to put the chairs under in my new school - a lot of people just leave them out as a messy run-into staff room.

Once you have scavenged through the bin for food please put everything back instead of leaving it for your human to clean.

re - putting a bag in the bin... if anyone takes the rubbish out for me I'm just grateful that it's done so I'll overlook the bin bag.

Yep, I agree about following the road rules. It also doesn't help teach my kids what is right and wrong if cars give way for them to cross the road when there is no crossing. The kids need to learn to wait for the traffic and you're just getting them confused.

Yes. I know people are doing it out of the right place and i feel mean sometimes, waving them through. But I have to teach my kids to wait until the road is clear.

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.

If you're taking the washing off the line, don't leave the pegs just hanging there.

If you notice someone has placed articles on their front nature strip, don't move them to park your card there! That person put them there to keep cars off!!!!!

If you're wanting to get something from the deli, and there's someone waiting before you who doesn't know they have to take a ticket, then let them know!!!

If you're diving into the cheap fruit & veg bucket, don't use your elbows to keep the rest of the customers out.

what I'm wondering though .. if you're leaving the room cause you're passing wind, do you leave before or after you leave the silent but deadly?

Kazbah - yes the pegs thing make me furious!

This does my head in too!

But I'm a bit, well, probably quite a lot anal with my pegs, I can only use pegs of the same colour on each item of clothing on the line

And if I grace you with my presence and agree to have coffee/dinner/playdate etc then PUT AWAY YOUR MOBILE PHONE! I don't go out for coffee/dinner etc to watch you text other people for the night. I am in front of you, try talking to me or don't be surprised that I decline invitations to spend time with you.

Similar happened to me yesterday. Kam went on a sleep over. Friend dropped him off home and was on her phone talking to someone else the whole time she was dropping him off. Barely said hello or goodbye to me. Then she asks me on facebook later on last night if I was okay cause I didn't look in a good mood yesterday when she dropped Kameron off. Um hello !!!

Speaking of facebook. I would really like to "like" a whole lot of these posts LOL

It's not just how they look, it's how annoying it is to have to push them in yourself just to get past! I visit many school staff rooms during the week and the teachers are worse than the kids!

If you've just been smoking and get onto the train, don't sit next to the obviously pregnant lady who is already all shades of green and looking like she's about to vom ...

INDICATE!!!!!

The simple act of communicating your intentions on the road saves a lot of time and annoyance for both other drivers and pedestrians. It's not that hard!

**Shades** · October 11th, 2011, 06:21 AM

I'm pretty sure indicating is one of those 'written' rules lol but I have to agree - it's not done consistently enough.

**misty** · October 11th, 2011, 06:42 AM

But if you are going to indicate DO IT PROPERLY!!!!!
seriously, prefer people who don't indicate at all, to those who indicate using the wrong blinkers! Not good. Especially on all the double laned roundabouts in Canberra. How hard is it to figure out that you need to indicate "left" to exit a roundabout (not 'right')????

**phebee** · October 11th, 2011, 11:49 AM

Oh yeah and if you're in the left lane going straight through... Don't indicate right!!! You don't indicate at all going in and you indicate left going out. Right doesn't cone into it at all in the left lane!

**C~Q** · October 11th, 2011, 03:55 PM

If you're coming up to a roundabout and have clear vision for ages that nothing is coming then don't stop! Slow down, fine bit if you can see its clear just go straight on!
