Day in and day out I come across thousands of people. New York City truly is an urban jungle with all sorts of people who will walk all over you if you let them. Everyday I encounter people doing things that are beyond rude and impolite, and here are some of the worst ones:
5) People who hog the express checkout aisle at the grocery store
The sign that reads “10 items or less” really means that, even if Homeland Security isn’t there to enforce it. People like myself frequent the grocery store often but only for a few items at a time, and it’s beyond annoying to wait in line behind Aunt Mildred as she not only pushes an overloaded cart up to the express checkout register, but also uses 57 coupons in the process.
4) People who don’t hold elevators
I don’t care how much of a hurry you’re in, you can always wait an extra 3 seconds to hold an elevator door for someone, be it a man or woman. People jump into these elevators and don’t want to share them with anybody, if they see anyone approaching they hit the “close doors” button as quickly as possible. In fact, the only time they ever actually hit the “close doors” button is if they see someone coming.
3) Men that don’t hold doors for women
Is chivalry completely dead? Everyday I see men not only cutting off women to exit out of the building door first, but also not holding the door after they walk through it. Sure it’s one thing if you don’t see a lady behind you, but these guys know there is a woman behind them and deliberately let the door slam in her face.
2) Men who make women stand on trains
These men know who they are, they’re the ones who hop into any empty train seat as soon as they see it and will not give it up for anything. Never mind the 80-year-old woman with a cane standing next to you, enjoy your seat buddy.
1) Men that make women pay on dates
This is such an old one but sadly continues to be so relevant. Guys who take dates out and expect them to pull out their wallets are the scum of all men, the ones who end up being the a$$holes that women fall in love with but cry about soon after. Do yourselves a favor ladies, stay away from men like this.
This is a just a quick list I threw together, if you have anymore to add please leave them below in a comment.
