    If the carpark is practically empty do not park in the spot next to the only other car in the row !! You have a choice of several hundred other spots - use them !

    check that everything has gone after you flush ... and if it hasn't, flush again!! (rinse and repeat, ladies...)

    wash your hands after going to the toilet.

    turn away when you cough or sneeze.

    don't touch my bump without asking first.

    if you've got a crummy memory for dates and events, use a diary ffs.

    and if you and I are in a client/professional service provider relationship, don't ever ask to add me on facebook.

    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...

    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

    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! )
    THIS really grinds my gears!!!!!!
    I actually pulled a serial-FB-announcer up on this, it was getting beyond ridiculous - announcing the weight, date, time, name of a couple's first-born! GAH!

    One from my DH --

    If the petrol station is empty and you're getting unleaded, don't pull into the only pump that has gas too! Choose wisely

    if you use the last of the loo paper, refill!
    Also, if there is only one piece of loo paper left on the roll, don't leave it for the next person, change it!!!

    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.

    Don't leave your supermarket trolley in an empty space, walk it back to the trolley bay, so a: I don't have to move it if it's
    the only car spot left and b: the wind doesn't send it hurtling into my car

    if u pull up at a creek for a swim and can see that there are people there already enjoying a picnic and space is tight GO ELSEWHERE ie further up the creek, to another creek, home and come back later! Don't let your 5 massive stinking dogs, 27 feral children and your pet parrot out of the car and assume the people already there want company.

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

    Oh yes! Also add to when the carpark is near empty: if you drive a huge car, don't park beside a very small car. You may have good vision, so respect that you are taking away someone elses when you park beside them.

    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
    I don't slow down if someone does this to me! Just like to scare them a bit....lol

    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!
    Again, if they are taking their time, I just drive through the second they are out of the way, fully crossed or not!

    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

    Ahh, you gotta love useless customers!


    Don't reverse park where it is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY! Nobody want's to wait for you to squeeze your car at the front door when there are PLENTY of parks left!!

    If you come to collect your child from a birthday party then please make some effort to encourage them out the door quickly. Appreciate that the person who hosted the party is probably shattered and still has to clean the house and does not want to spend 20 minutes enjoying how cute it is that "little Johnny" doesn't want to leave and will not do as he is told.
