I can't stand when people do that!!
I've got a few...
DO NOT ask to borrow money when you KNOW you can't pay it back.

DO NOT try to look cute when it's 20 below outside! Please put your gloves, hat and scarf on...it's not worth it to get frostbite
DO NOT pick your nose when you're in the car...chances are, someone is looking at you! LOL! (the least you can do is use a tissue...ewwww!)

A brother just had to jump into this one

DO NOT - Come to my chapters' informational meeting with your kids in tow. We love kids, but you will not get in.

DO NOT - Get up in an interview for my fraternity, and when I ask you have you ever thought about pledging another frat? Don't say yes. You won't make it, and we still might beat you up for being so stupid.

DO NOT- Wear a tight shirt to the club, thinking that you are deisel, when you have fat rolls showing. Bras be killing me with this one.

DO NOT - Get Japaneese letters tatooed on your arm, if you can't speak or read Japaneese. The person doing the tatoo may tell you that it is your name in Japaneese, but it realy says GHETTO in Japaneese.

DO NOT - Ladies I love yawl, but don't come to the club with $12 in your pocket, and it cost $10 to get in. This sista got mad at me, becuase she was standing near me at the bar, and asked me to buy her a drink, and I was like no. I didn't know her from Adam, hadn't talked to her or nothing. I am not cheap, but I atleast want to talk to you first.

DO NOT - Fellas don't blame it on the alcohol, you know you would have hit it without being drunk.

DO NOT - Ladies if you wear some tight azz hip huggers and I look, don't get mad at a brother for starring. Dang, I am just trying to imagine you in a wedding dress next to me.

DO NOT - Tell your friends how good you girl/guy is in bed. They will try to see if you are right.

DO NOT - Ask your girl or guy how you compare to their other lovers. Chances are you don't really want to know.

DO NOT - Ask me on our second date, "Where is this relationship going?" I just met you, and I am trying to give you 2 more dates before I decide if I want to trade you in for a better model.

DO NOT - When you find out that I am a Kappa, try to place whatever image you have of your school's Kappa chapter on me. We are a diverse group of men with like objectives and goals, but differing personalities.

DO Not - Ladies/Fellas do not asume that your sexual skills are the greatest in the world and no one else on earth can do what you do, or as one girl told me "I got the Bomb!" Just like the US has the bomb, so does Russia, France, England, etc.

DO NOT - Get mad if you come to the club in Jeans and Tims, and you don't get in. You should have known from jump that they will tell you before hand if you can get in with Athletic gear.

DO NOT - Rock Tims and a pair of shorts. I am sorry it just looks silly, and I know your feet stink if it is 90 degrees outside.

DO NOT - Wear a blond or platinum wig, if you are like my complexion (Deep dark chocolate).

DO NOT - Try to be "Big Willie" if you have small dollars. Be yourself, stop trying to impress folks with what you don't have.

DO NOT - (Some) Ladies, stop thinking that if you throw it on that NBA or NFL player real good, he might really want to make you his wife. He has a long line of women who have thought the same thing.

Peace and Luv

MN
