I see you are about to enter/leave the room/building so hold the door for you, it not only about being nice or helping you it also be about recognising your presence. And in return the you say "thank you" (that might like a triffle), but for some it's about reciprocating recognition.

Thank You!

I would like to discuss a related topic: When you enter a revolving door and the person exiting decides shuffle along without touching the door, leaving all the pushing work to you. What the fuck is up with these people?

When there's a tin of roses/quality street/celebrations/any type of box/tub of assorted sweets/chocolates which are all individually wrapped, and someone puts the wrappers back in the container with all of the other sweets when they've eaten them. They belong in the bin, it is really not difficult.

People who try and get on a bus/train before others have alighted. It is ****ing rude.

Also public transport related, when you have to sit next to someone who is sitting on the inside seat and they're getting off at the next stop but don't let you know, so you have to stand back up pretty much straight away to let them off (this more applies to buses as stops on a train are a fair few minutes apart so its not too bad)

Yeah that one bugs me but in a funny way. I mean when you know they're doing it, its just like...Okay...Do I pretend I believe him/her or give them a weird look. Do I act polite or call them out and potentially humiliate them.

Pass them on what? Like when you are walking? I am a fast walker so I pass people all the time and sometimes they get nervous because they think you are following them, but then they realize that would were just passing them out. Is that what you mean?

I believe that everyone has different personalities. The reality is that we all act different although we are not aware of it. I just think we need to check ourselves of what we are doing everyday to see whether it is good or not.

Wise words Franco!

Maybe this should go in the "Brain Fart" thread, but sometimes when I'm driving to work, I'll go into "Auto-Pilot" mode and suddenly realize I just went through about 4 or 5 lights without knowing if they were red or green. Obviously they were green or I wouldn't be posting this, but it's a bit scary.

On another note... I find that having a beard can up the respect level of some (read most) people. When I'm clean shaven I look like a kid and people will kind of brush me off in some situations, but now that I'm sporting the "Grizzly Adams" face coat, I get quite a bit of "Thank you sir"s and things of that nature. Especially in a work environment where I'm surrounded by welders, steel workers, and truckers.

I told that to a friend of mine, starting off with a "I did a bit of a social experiment..." and thats where his eyes glossed over and drool started dripping out of the corner of his mouth. Another example of human behavior.

There is surprising info about this man. You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock. Girls are the sexy thing that God created. Important to notice FPK.
