Read an article about the
33 unwritten rules everyone should follow. I absolutely agree on the article, it is awfully distracting when people do these things. I would easily categorized this type of people as ignorant and selfish, they wouldn't know how distracting they are till they experienced it. Myself is not perfect, no one is but I try not to do things that would annoyed people. That is why sometimes I hate being in a public place.
1. Taking too long to decide what to order - usually happen to me at McDonalds.
It's not like McD change their menu every day, you should have known by heart what you want to order or have the decency to decide what you would like before it is your turn to order. It is called fast food, it is meant to be fast.
2. Stop in the middle of a busy walkpath
I think it is the most annoying thing people do - stop in the middle of a busy walk path/road just to chit chat. I would normally say excuse me aloud and gave them the stare no matter who they are. You should not stop in the middle of a busy road just to chit chat. It is rude and damn selfish if you do that.
3. Always let people out of the train before entering / always prepare yourself to exit as the door waits for no one
Another common sense, what if a person missed his/her stop just because you refuse to give way for them to exit? and...people should not be mad if they missed their stop if they are taking their own sweet time.
4. Never put your stuff on an empty seat beside you, it's for people to sit not for you to put your stuff
I once saw a woman with a lot of grocery bags which she placed on an empty seat beside her being ignorant just because she have a lot of stuff which she could put them on her lap and an old man with a walking stick with no where else to sit.
5. Be extra quiet when there are people sleeping
When you need to do something, be extra quiet when there are people sleeping. Myself, once awaken by noises, it is hard for me to get back to sleep and I will bother those who wake me.
6. When there are people around you, cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.
Please do not share your germs!
7. Be considerate to others like you want others to be considerate to you.
My father will always look out for people who in need of table to eat, when we're done eating, father always say once you are finish, leave the place for others to use, we could always continue chatting in the car.
Always use one side of the escalator/stair if you are not in a hurry.
Do not use the express lane if you are purchasing more than 10 items.
DON'T cut in line. Wait for your turn like everyone else.
I always remind myself to be considerate of others, of course there is nothing wrong with being selfish but only if it is necessary and you could ask nicely instead of being ignorant. You wouldn't want the same thing to happen to you.
