Human BEhavior
 

I've noticed "women" on the phone while driving. Terrible!

Well I've noticed "men" on the phone while driving.

The number of times while driving that people in oncoming traffic swerve in front of me because they are looking down texting gives me the absolute ****s.

At work, we have to scan our key cards to get into three doors before we are on the floor. Courtesy dictates, if in the hallway and you turn around to make eye contact with a person behind you, you must stop and hold the door, lest you be seen as a total dick.

Also, if someone doesn't have their key card, you have to grill them about which campaign/team they are on to ascertain they are not a disgruntled mass shooter.

I do figure, though, if that situation ever arises, they'd probably shoot me, then swipe my key card

Especially when it's a fully loaded semi.

Sometimes I drive right at them, horn blaring. Scares em right into submission. I wouldn't suggest this though.

By that logic you should immediately shut the door after you, and put as much distance between you and the guy (disgruntled maniac) behind you as possible.

I like your example of etiquette for modern times !

Here it´s normal practise to shake hands almost every time you see or leave a colleague, but when there was that big scare about swine flu a few years back, people started to become very aware of who they were touching and how often they were washing their hands.
I was working at a hospital at the time and one morning, I reached out as usual to shake a doctor´s hand when she grabbed me by the middle of the forearm. I soon worked out that this was the new etiquette within the hospital; a kind of Roman-Centurian mutual forearm clasp.

Since then I´ve never been sure with doctors. If I don´t shake their hand am I being unfriendly - or considerate ?

You shouldn't be staring at men while driving and texting at the same time. Bad idea. I am especially fond of the people who hop in the fast lane and pick their phone up and immediately drop down to 45 miles an hour. I always whip in front of em and proceed to do a brake check just to get their attention. I'm trying to be a better person, babysteps.

Lol. I dont ever use my phone while driving! Some 19 year old girl here was texting and speeding about 50km over the speed limit on a road, and she whipped around a curve, and lost control and her car was severed in two by a pole. IN TWO. Like the front end was 20 feet away from the back end. She was killed instantly. I feel bad for her family but not for her because she was being an idiot.

And people my age wonder why their car insurance is so damn high.

One of my friends likes to check his Facebook on his phone while driving at 140 kph on the motorway. To say I'm nervous being a passenger in his car would be an understatement
