I do not like to be stared at.

Yes, I know that is my problem and I should not expect the rest of the world to conform to my issue. There, happy? Everytime you complain nowadays people want to tell you “maybe the issue is you and you should not expect the rest of society to adjust to your issues”. There I said it for you…can we continue?

However, there are some adults that will just look and look and look at you when you enter a room and it’s nonsense. There’s nothing new under the sun. I want to ask them, “Have you never seen a human being before?”

I am a dude. I imagine this is 1 million times worse for women.

Staring in public, waiting your turn in line, maintaining a normal talking volume in public. I think I learned all that in kindergarten or before. Some adults need to Billy Madison themselves and go back to kindergarten.

    Not just staring or appropriate voice volume, but other basic considerations as well:

    • Flushing the toilet when your’e done (especially public ones)
    • (bonus to the above) And for gods’ sake, wash your hands when you’re done in the bathroom
    • Put things back where you got them (aka if you change your mind and decide you don’t want the frozen chicken, don’t just put it on a random shelf in the middle of the store).

      Auto flushing toilets are because it’s unsanitary as fuck to touch a public flusher. Just touched your pecker or wiped your ass? You flush before you wash your hands…. Lots of people flush with their foots for this reason, makes it even more disgusting.

        That’s not wrong, but I’ve never really been too personally squicked out by the flush handle. Worst case, I tap it with my foot or use some TP as a boundary layer. Regardless, I’m going to be washing my hands within the next 30 seconds because I’m a functioning adult. lol

          You then need to open the door to get out of the stall, which the next person needs to touch before touching themselves…

          Nothing to do with being a functioning adult, it’s just unsanitary as fuck for everyone involved.

      • Flush the toilet when you’re done, especially public ones. Those annoying automatic flush toilets? Those exist (largely*) because of you 🫵.

      No one leaves a toilet un-flushed on purpose. It’s inevitable to forget eventually. I don’t like it when people forget but it doesn’t bother me too much.
