We all have small things that bother us and that crawl under our skin. Here are three things that have gotten me on my nerves in the past few days:
1. Fast food restaurant etiquette: we often see people leaving behind their used utensils/trays/ bags after eating on the tables. First of all, don’t be that person, and secondly, go a step beyond and pick up someone else’s garbage who may have been in a hurry or just simply ignorant.
2. Bus step etiquette: If you were the last one to arrive at the bus stop, please let everyone else get on the bus before you, especially if it cold. However, if you arrived first and have been freezing in the cold the longest and the other people at your stop haven’t been exposed to this article they may commit the crime of going before you – just practice some patience and feel good about yourself.
3. Movie etiquette: Whether it is in a movie theatre or in an English class, please do not provide your commentary on the movie. Unless you are with your family or close friends; go ahead and lower the movie volume and dwell into you insightful commentary. If you can’t watch a scene, just don’t watch it; we don’t need to know how you feel about it. If there is some dramatic irony going on you don’t need to yell “Don’t do it! No… no… no!”- the movie is already shot. The only difference your verbal reactions are going to make is annoy the people around you (especially is you are near me).
