Hi there Ice Smile.
I must say that these are just "low bad manners" and you are forgetting more nasty ones:
- like showing off private parts in public - believe me i have seen it especially at drunk mans and it wasn't a pretty site at all
- burping in public places - like a library, or a museum, or even in public transport - also include farting here
- pissing in public
- sending free aggressive dogs in public places, like parks that are not destined for dogs, but for children, or even on the street.
- stupid people that throw garbage on the street / sidewalks instead of in the bins that are usually 1-2 meters away from them
- people who coughing, sneezing and snot blowing without covering like you mentioned.
Smoking in public places isn't against the law here, except for some restaurants and bars, so i can't do anything about that. I also don't really care about women that puts on her make up in the bus or train... i see them more often doing this in college... which is worse if you ask me, but like i said, i don't get offended by this.
I think that there are other things as well, but i think i gave enough for now.
Take care !

I hate littering of any kind and I'm also bothered by people who carry on loud cell phone conversations in restaurants. I really don't want to know all of your business and I also don't want to have to raise my voice in order to talk over you while trying to have a conversation with my husband or whoever I'm dining with. My biggest pet peeve though has got to be people who ride so close to the back bumper of my truck that I can't see the front of their vehicle. There have been many times when I've be sooooo tempted to slam on my brakes and swear a cat ran out in front of my truck.

The one thing I CANNOT stand is to be in a restaurant or somewhere like that and have someone's cell phone ring. The only thing that annoys me worse than that is when they actually answer the damn thing and proceed to hold a conversation right there at the table instead of excusing themselves. First of all, I don't want to hear your damn cell phone ring to begin with. Phones have a VIBRATE option to keep other people from having to hear it. Second...if you DO answer the call...I don't give two sh!ts about what is going on in your life, so tell the caller to hold on for a few moments while you make your way out the door or to the bathroom to take the call...Myself and the other people seated close to you will really appreciate you letting us dine in PEACE...

it annoys me when i'm stuck in a room with someone who is smacking their gum. i can't stand that noise. and bad dining habits are annoying, like when people constantly shovel food into their mouths or talk with their mouths full. i hate when people sneeze without covering too. i have a really good sense of smell and i always have to smell these inconsiderate people's saliva in the air. very gross. it also annoys me when i'm out shopping and the whole aisle is clear and then here comes some lady and she has to come look at stuff standing one inch away from me. and then they expect me to move out of their path! i was here first! this always happens at a store called ross around here.

i hate it when people just spit everywhere! it's disgusting, they're spreading germs!! also those people who don't cover their mouth when they cough. also throwing trash around the place even when they know that there's a nearby garbage disposal area. It's just irritating!

Yea... I think blowing nose or spitting is pretty disgusting and annoy me very much... I don't like people smoking but it doesn't bother me as much as long as they don't blow it on me.

gee...i don't want to offend anybody but is wearing too much perfume bad manners? i mean i learned that the moment somebody 12 inches away from you starts smelling you then one is wearing too much scent. i consider this as a bad manner since the scent becomes a stink and it is very intolerable to those who react to scents, like me, because they have chemical sensitivity to mere chemical smells even if that chemical is meant to please one's nose.

I haven't seen any private parts, but what annoys the heck out of me is when I go to Mass, intending to have some quiet prayer time, but end up getting distracted by people who don't seem to realize that church time does not equal happy hour time (the choir at my church definitely doesn't realize this, as they always feel the need to practice in the sanctuary before the service starts). I also hate it when people talk loudly on cell phones on the city bus--I don't want to hear about your baby's mama or daddy and how horrible she/he is, and I'm sure other people on the bus don't want to hear it, either.

Oh dear... Quite a lot!
I really hate it when people talk so loudly when they're on their mobile phones. I don't know if they want the whole world to hear what they're talking about. Hahaha. I find it rather impolite. Another thing that I really hate is when people, mostly drivers of public transport, just spit anywhere they want to - totally gross!

I am shocked, bugged and annoyed by the idiots who blast loud usic from their cars, as they are going by, or worse yet as they are waiting at traffic lights. I could be sitting at my favourite outdoor table at my favourite cafe, and some idiot will come by with pounding pulsating music blasting from their vehicles. It'll give me a headache. It drives me absolutely nuts.

Well there are a lot and these are just a few that annoys me.
1. Smoking especially in public transportation
2. Sneezing or coughing without covering your nose or mouth
3. Clipping nails in public
4. Talking to loud over the phone or getting angry and shouting at your phone
5. Cutting in lines
There are a lot more but it might be too long if I post it here

i ate it so much when people eat with their mouth open AND still talk. and while they talk they have those food biting sound, is major no no. others are probably eating/ chewing gum loudly, car's music on really loud, and oh cutting lines when i am in line for something and then pretend nothing happened. arg i dislike those so much.
