bullet

You've made it all the way to the restaurant, so don't stop in front of the entrance now and decide if you really want to go in. We do, so get out of our way and let us pass.

bullet

Don't throw garbage, a lit cigarette, or anything else for that matter out of your moving car window. Hell, don't even do it if you are stopped at a light or parked. There is usually a trash can every other corner.

bullet

When pulling into a gas station, use your head and pull up to the first pump, so someone can get in behind you. Courtesy can be contagious !!!

bullet

If the sign says 10 items or less, then PLEASE, 10 items or less.

bullet

You're looking like a fool, with those pants on the ground. Really, you are, we wouldn't lie to you

bullet

If you come to a Stop sign , you really should stop. Even if it's an all-way stop corner. This is especially true for you school bus drivers.

bullet

Put the cell phone down while you drive. What can be so important to make you have to drive and talk at the same time anyway ? It's dangerous, not to mention illegal.

bullet

It is NOT acceptable to walk your dog over to someone else's house to do and leave his business.

bullet

Throwing your gum wrapper on the floor as you walk is WRONG, really

bullet

Tossing your gum to the ground wherever you are is not very nice. Remember that wrapper ? Keep it in your pocket for when you're done, take it out of your mouth, place it in that wrapper and walk it to the nearest trash can to discard properly

bullet

Say thank you when someone holds the door for you

bullet

Wash your hands after you relieve yourself in the men's room and before you walk out of it

bullet

Feel like yawning ? Cover your mouth as you yawn that pie hole nice and wide

bullet

Cursing like a truck driver on the subway or bus is not cool. Would you do it in front of your grandmother ?

bullet

Keep to the right as you walk down the sidewalks of the city. Don't you realize you are walking into people when you walk on the left side. We drive to the right, we walk to the right. Get your head out of your ass.

bullet

Coughing into your hand, and then reaching for a handshake is wrong. Don't do it. Cough into your sleeve or crook of elbow.

bullet

Stepping on a person's foot in the subway warrants a simple "I'm sorry", or "excuse me", or "pardon me" - It should not make YOU angry, you stepped on their foot.

bullet

If you're tied getting to the waiting line with a stranger, let them ahead of you. It's proper etiquette, and it feels good

bullet

Pedestrians crossing the intersection go first, before you making a turn. That's the law, and that's the way it should be

bullet

If you're walking with an umbrella, it's your responsibility to avoid hitting people in the head

bullet

Nobody wants to hear your cell phone conversations. They are nonsense to us. Just speak a little lower

bullet

Clipping your toenails on the subway is frikkin gross. Don't do it

bullet

If you can see your butt crack when you bend over in your bedroom, don't leave home

bullet

Please no eating corn on the cobb as you drive your car or ride the subway
