Quirky but not so cute, a list of... erh.. silly things about the human race.

Please just don't:  EVER!

I've said this time and time again. It is never okay to pick, pull, tweak, or itch your nose while driving. No matter who you think is or isn't looking,  someone is always watching. I once watched an asian man eat the junk that came out of his nose as he putted along in heavy traffic in his honda civic hybrid. Great, so he's trying to live green but I doubt one tissue would have set the dude back.

Asking how far along someone is when you don't know for CERTAIN that they are actually pregnant! Not okay people!!

Also, touching a strangers pregnant belly.  A very strange woman walked up to me in a parking lot when I was about 8 months along with Caleb and tried to rub me like a I was a living Buddha! I could have very well bitch slapped her and had a valid reason. Ask before you put your hands on a person you do not know, common courtesy.  Next time, I'll throw down!

To fart, burp or talk about bodily functions at the dinner table. Talking about bodily functions is never really acceptable unless you are doing a commercial for Metamucil. I don't want to know, in fact I'm pretty sure nobody does. Keep your pooo sessions to yourself. 

Wearing one color head to toe. Black is really the only exception.
Purple hat, purple top, and purple boots only makes you look like a lonely 60 year old women with 25 cats, or a pimp. I'd personally rather be a pimp.

This is for the girls and some boys. Please stop telling everyone how incredibly enormous you feel! Nobody wants to have to constantly appease your self image. Yes we all have our larger days, and I've had a few of them myself as of lately. But oHHHH eMMMM gEEEE one gets tired of hearing us whine about how FAT we are.
Exceptions: Feel free to confide in Bff's or your significant other, or when you're PMSING or after you've just downed a tub of Ben and Jerry's chunky monkey, then feel free to confide in anyone that will listen.

On a more serious note this one is important.  Issues like this really anger me. It's never okay to attach prominent issues to race. Sure we love our president or we don't (I personally am not a fan) but either way, we did not elect him because of the color of his skin. We elected him because he was the most qualified candidate, right?! Ideally yes, but no.  Not exactly what happened!  A HUGE percent of the black population that had never voted before chose to vote in this election and guess who for?  WHYYYY?? It should have ZERO to do with ethnicity. If he was asian, hispanic or white would it have changed what he stands for?! I'm tired of hearing 'Finally one of our people is in office!' What does that mean exactly?? Aren't we all ONE PEOPLE, one nation under God? This type of behavior is offensive and separates and I'm not a fan of it. Lets put away the race card, it's really about dang time. 

To cut off, tail gate, or honk your horn at someone who is going the speed limit and obeying the law. This gives a person perfect right to flip you off multiple times, run you off the road, and beat the ever living crap out of you. If you don't want this, it's best not to be an antagonist on the road... especially in California.

Never OK:
To chew with your mouth wide open.
To spit in public, seriously NAST-AY!
To not take into consideration others around you, meaning that if you have a lit cigarette kindly put it out if you are in a crowded area so as not to burn someone in the arm, or intoxicate others lungs around you.
To stiff on a tip when you had good service, simply because you are a tight wad! (See note on tipping etiquette).  Us servers... we remember you, we own bottles of visine!
To violently hurt someone even if they call you a horrendous name. Not really cool unless you are 5! Adults... we walk away.
Stealing someones parking spot.
Cutting in line. In fact, if you are shopping for a family of say 20?! And you have two hundred items in your cart, it might be nice to let the girl behind you with a bottle of shampoo and two tabloids go ahead of you at the grocery store. Just a thought.
To be on your phone while ordering food, or checking out at the register at any restaurant, grocery store, etc.  If you expect service from someone have the decency to GET OFF THE FUCKING PHONE NOW! 

To tell a person struggling financially that 'Money is the root of all evil anyways.' Those people can go straight to H E L L! They have never been poor, they have never had the joy of a welfare Christmas. Money may not make you happy but it sure can make you miserable & stressed beyond belief if you don't have it.

To try to take back used underwear.  I can recall a situation standing in line at Victorias Secret, it took about 15 minutes for the manager to finally give into the persistent woman in front of me that said her underwear wore out too quickly just to shut her up. Kinda makes you wonder what she was doing in them.  Just buy new ones.

To sport a mullet. To sport a backwards mullet, yes Kate Gosselien that goes for you. Nobody wants your hair cut, nobody likes it. 

To get your freak on in a public pool whilst children are swimming around you. It did happen believe it or not! My eyes bled a little.

To fart in a room, elevator or aisle way and then walk away leaving your poor friend to take the credit for it.  Listen, if you can't hold it in till you reach a restroom at least have the decency to claim it.
