Unwritten rules (until now)...let's talk about 'em

[DrPhil]

Yeah it is the difference between a general unwritten rule and a personal unwritten rule. This thread is a combination and it can be difficult to tell the difference for some of these. LOL. As long as people don't bother how I eat a doughnut or cupcake. I like my eggs very cheesy so the only thing running is the cheese.

In every city I have lived you can get ticketed for not using turn signals. That isn't an unwritten rule. It can be considered the equivalent of "reckless driving". People drive reckless until they see law enforcement. I'm a safe and careful driver. I try to stay away from reckless drivers.

About the bags---ehhh....It just gets under my skin. I'm not sure why. And Tony, that's why people can buy bags with all types of fun things on them--for the gym, for groceries, anything. That's another thing I hate. I hate when people use plastic grocery bags as actual bags. Gross! It really grosses me out. I don't know why.

ASTAlumna brought up some really good points. Where I am living now, people like to either not use turn signals or they like to slam on their brakes right before they merge onto the highway from an exit. It's so dangerous. People say New Yorkers are bad drivers. Really? Compared to where I am living now, I have to disagree.

She also mentioned something about carts and taking up the aisle. I agree with that but, I'll take it one step further with something I mentioned in another thread. If I have a cart full of stuff, don't walk in through the "exit" door as I am trying to walk out of it and then get annoyed when I don't move over for you. Learn to read the signs and use them accordingly. I go out of my way NOT to move just because it upsets me so much!

Speaking of carts---Please put them away at the store in the cart corral. Otherwise, you just look lazy.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen anyone try to go in the exit door. Do you have separated automatic doors?

Really? Then you must live near some courteous people. I'm thinking of the automatic doors at Wal-Mart. As you are walking out with your cart filled to the brim, there's always that one jerk or that family of jerks that walk in, all holding hands (of course) that won't move. They look at you like you are the hateful one because you won't move. Ugh! I give everyone a dirty look who does this. Or I hate when people with their large carts full of stuff try to walk out through the "in" doors as I am coming inside the store. It's like, learn how to follow directions!
