View Full Version : Unwritten Rules

So because its Friday, I am home, and I though this would be fun, I though to create a thread about unwritten rules...everyone knows what I am talking about...you are out in public and you see something and think...that shouldnt be allowed, or that's just not right...so post yours here...
This morning on my way to work I saw one thing...
1) It is not acceptable to still have your fraternity/sorority letters on your car if you have been out of college for 5 or more years...
I mean really? I am proud of where I went to school and what I did there, but its been 7 years...nobody cares anymore. My boss has her letters still on her car and it just doesnt make sense to me.
2) I think GS82 hit on this in another thread but why jazz up your Dodge Neon? Does it really make it that much better of a car? Underneath it all, its still a freaking Neon. Spend your money on gold teeth or large gold necklaces...
3) Dont ask me for work if you are out...you should have come to me 2 hours ago when you knew you were running out of things to do. Because now I have to stop what I am doing, try and find something for you to do, while you sit and play on the internet or color at your desk (yes I have a 30 year old who colors)...
I was a team leader and set up at KEMET feel lucky they even tell you they are out of work , I had operators that would color , do crossword puzzles and word search puzzles and not say a word about being out of work until I saw them .............

Don't take offense to this if I am wrong, but doesn't your user name have fraternity letters in it? TKE?

As a boss, do not chew your employees out for coming in a few minutes late when you routinely come in late yourself. I had to get on one of my managers about this last week.

If you are in a restuarant with your friends, don't think that you have to tell everyone within hearing distance a "blow by blow account" of your exploits from the night before or if you are with friends do not try to impress everyone in the place with your ability to use VULGAR FOUR LETTERS IN EVERY OTHER SENTENCE! Try to have some consideration when you see a family sitting their with children or an older couple that's out for a peaceful meal. Try to treat people the way you would want them to treat your mother or father if they were sitting there.
This can also apply to some young ladies that I have heard. The F-WORD or the MF WORD does nothing but show how little class you have when you are in public places. If you are on a construction job with a bunch of cavemen, then it might be ok to say a few of these words to keep everybody at bay or if you are on a ship with a bunch of sailors that have not had shore leave in months, but other than that, keep your words clean and descent when out in public.
Talking on cell phones in food establishments should be banned, along with talking in the movies. Why is it that most everyone thinks that they need to talk all through a movie????????????? Shut your pie hole when your butt hits the seat until the movie is over. If not, then we should be able to take "tasers" into a movie to shoot the gabber who insists on talking throughout the movie. One or two times, this problem would be eliminated!
There should be a rule that when some moron walks out in public with his pants down between his knees and butt, with his underwear showing, people should just walk over and give them a GIANT WEGGIE and pull their drawers up over their heads. Maybe this would teach these people that the whole world does not want to see their stinking drawers out in public.
Othen than this, please have a nice and polite day!:clap:

from tonight....
when parking in an area crammed with cars and one exit...with no direction from parking attendants...alternate each car per line. One person goes, then the other line goes, then the other, and back around. Don't be a prick and just start pushing though.
It's not right when you go somewhere and you purposely get there early so you can be one of the first ones in line (like going to a show or buying concert tickets) and find it a bonus when you are the first one there, but then other people come after you and try to get ahead of you so that they can be first in line. That really ticks me off!!

1) Don't ask for someone's opinion and then argue with them about it. Why did you ask for it in the first place?
2) Don't ask if you clothes make your butt look big...your butt makes your butt look big.
3) Don't complain about being overweight at a buffet.
4) If the server gave you good service, then tip...especially on Sunday when you are in your church clothes. Don't gather everyone up after the 11 AM service, say a prayer, talk about charity and then tip 5%. The standard is 15%. Just because you gave your 10% at church doesn't mean you only have 5% left for a server. They work hard.
5) Don't leave a Christian tract for a tip. Yes...if they don't have Jesus, I understand that you want them to accept Him, but they will be more apt to listen when you treat them like you should.
6) If you can't afford to tip, go to McDonald's.
7) Don't beat your kid in public...take them into the restroom or out of sight. It's embarrassing enough for the child but it also makes everyone else feel uncomfortable that is watching.
8) If your baby is screaming in public, do something about it. Ferberizing, if you believe in it, should be done at home.
9) Don't run into the express lane with 40 items when it has a max of 20.
10) Belly shirts don't look good with a belly
11) No belly button rings if you have a muffin top. What is the ring for in that situation...to pull you away from the buffet line?
12) If you are 45, dress like it. I'm sorry, but the Gap is not for you anymore and neither is Abercrombie.
13) If it is 20 degrees outside, flip flops look stupid
14) If you dress in all black, expect people to call you Johnny Cash.
15) Just because you can afford a Harley doesn't mean that you look like you belong on one.
16) Don't jingle your change in church.
17) Don't clip your nails in public.
18) Spray when you bomb the bathroom. I'm aware that you weren't arranging a lilac bouquet in there, but do something to kill the smell.
19) If you use all the TP, replace it. If you don't, your shower curtain will do nicely.

If we are in a public restroom and there are a row of urinals, don't use the ones right next to me if there are enough to leave a space..that is just weird.
...also, I don't need to hold a conversation with you in the restroom or gym shower.

Oh..I am. I follow the rule: If you sprinkle when you tinkle please be neat and wipe the seat. I grew up in a house with 3 women...trust me...I know the bathroom etiquette.
Something that women might want to do in the bathroom is actually maybe take out the trash when it is that time of month....and take it out often.

Don't take small children to a movie that they don't need to see. I was amazed at this family that had 6-7 year olds at Friday the 13th.
Right on! When I went to see it, there was a lady who sat a few rows in front of me with a 2 year old girl. After about ten minutes into the movie, she walked out. I was thinking to myself "WTF did you think this movie was about?"

People that dress better than their children , I have seen it many many times , you will see a mother dressed fit to kill and you see their children with rags on, on a cold day you will see a mother with a nice warm coat on when you see children with a lightweight coat or maybe no coat , mothers take care of your children first , how your children look is a reflection of how you are as a mother !!

...if you are going to a nice restaurant with your woman, please dress appropriately...Some places are not khaki shorts and ball cap places.
...this is especially true if your woman is dressed nicely and she has Joe McFrat in tow.
Men, it is okay to clean up your act sometimes...it shows respect to the establishment you are in and respect to the woman you are with.

Never eat anywhere named "Moms."
Don't assume I am a racist just because we are both white men...I can not tell who how many unbelievably horrifying and ignorant statments that have been shared with me by other white men I hardly know...if at all...I am NOT a racist so stop sharing your stupidity with every white person you meet. Assume most white men are NOT racist and be ashamed of your own hate filled fears.
Never admit who just picked up the new Hall and Oats greatest hits CD in public...No one else on the planet think "Sara" or "Maneater" are "great" nor "hits".
If you are a Father never "brag" about how you never change diapers...it doesn't make you seem manly or cool it makes you an seem weak and uncapable of taking care of the one person on the planet who needs your help the most.
