Bad behavior - our own

[Halibut]

Man, everyone who posts here is such a paragon. Never rude or inconsiderate of others. We drive well, don't save chairs, leave dog poo behind, or break any Villages rules. Always great tippers, too! ;)

Let me therefore be the first to confess my transgressions. We rarely use the neighborhood pool, don't golf, go to the squares or own a dog. However:

1. I do sometimes tailgate another car through a gate. No reason except it amuses me.

2. We put a sticker on our mailbox.

3. I've been known to put out my garbage bags early on Sunday while I'm thinking about it so I don't forget later.

[NotGolfer]

It has been said when we point fingers, there are 4 pointing back at us! Not one of us are without faults, but it doesn't excuse bad behaviours.

But................do you pick your nose at stop signs? That is the deal breaker for me.

I like you Halibut.....just the way you are ....ala Mr. Rogers.

If we are going to publicly admit our faults...........I'm leavin'. There would have to be another twenty thousand posts for me just on that subject.

[QUOTE=graciegirl;993179]But................do you pick your nose at stop signs? That is the deal breaker for me.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode. It was a rub not a pick!

[Laurie2]

Ah, Halibut, calling us to confess. . .

Well, there was this one time when somebody in a hulking car was laying on his horn behind me at a stop sign. I assumed he wanted me to pull out in front of a cart I could see coming along rather quickly in the golf cart lane.

The Big Beeper could not see what I could see. But I chose not to succumb to his pressure to have a terrible wreck or to scare the you-know-what out of the approaching golf cart driver.

So I gave the Big Beeper a little gesture with my right hand. It was a gesture that indicated a shrug -- you know -- like I was saying, "I cannot pull out yet."

AND THEN the Big Beeper immediately beeped AGAIN!

I confess: At beep number two, the gesture I made was unmistakable as to its meaning.

I will give myself a little credit though because the gesturing I did was with my right hand. I did make it as obvious as I could -- with my right hand from inside the car. But I think he could see it as he was hulking back there, practically in my back seat.

But I have to feel a little better about my bad behavior because, at least, I did not roll down my window and make that gesture loud and clear, with my left hand, over top the car roof, and a few times in quick succession, just to be perfectly clear. Ohhhhhh, how I wanted to though.

Thank you Halibut. I feel much better now.

You are forgiven, my child....and the next time do it five more times and tell him Groucho sent you.

I once tore a tag off a pillow.

That's nothing. I tear the tags off furniture and mattresses. I especially go after the ones that say it is illegal to do so...but please don't tell anyone.

[Cisco Kid]

I pass gas in public . :loco:

[Bonny]

When I use a restroom, if they have the roll of toilet paper on the wrong way, I put it the right way !!! SHHHHHhhhh..... :p

[jebartle]

Go straight to your room!!!! You are bad to the bone!

I'm, on the other hand, perfect!...Ha!:pray:

When I visit someone, if they're not looking, I rip off their tags too.

[tomwed]

There's a wrong way?

[tomwed]

If nobody is looking, I like to put a penny heads up on a lobby floor just to see who will pick it up for luck.

[Halibut]

But................do you pick your nose at stop signs? That is the deal breaker for me.

If a booger is just hanging there, I will cheerfully dig and flick (but only if my wife isn't looking. I've tricked her into believing I have some couth).

[TheVillageChicken]

I do that at my kids' homes. Has to "waterfall mode". When we had our cat, Molly, we had to go "underhand mode".

[Beechie]

I suck the chocolate of the peanuts and then store them in the peanut jar to be used later when we are entertaining friends.


I sure hope you can see my tongue-in-cheek.

[tomwed]

This reminds me of what I did in HS. I was a teacher at the time. I had a spray bottle that shot a mist of water, nothing special. I would stand behind a teacher, fake a sneeze and spray them with water.

I couldn't stop laughing.

[Cisco Kid]

I sneeze on the salad bar.

[George Bieniaszek]

Stealth or Overt?

Both, but I enjoy the Stealth ones best. "Crop Dusting" as my kids describe the Stealth ones as you pass a group of people :crap2:

[dbussone]

I sneeze on the salad bar.

Oh. Oh. Both ends?

[dewilson58]

I take the extra pickles off my cheeseburger just so I can complain.

[Cisco Kid]

I am waiting to see who pees in the pool.

[Bonny]

I am waiting to see who pees in the pool.
I only do that if the water is too cold, so I warm it up a little for everyone.
I like to do nice things for other people sometimes. :)

Ok, now you have to start posting your pool visitation schedule.

Utilzation of stealth is mostly inportant for maximum surprise and reaction.:jester:

The right way wrong way of storing the toilet roll is an ubiquitous argument. Since my New Year resolution is not to argue I will forgo explaining to all of you which is proper. The reference to intentionally dropping a penny to see who goes for it reminded me of an old navy guy who carried a habit with him to civilian life. He was the office manager and would leave a $0.50 piece behind several doors. If they were gone then the janitor likely cleaned behind the door. If they remained behind the door too long then the janitor got cleaned.

I have absolutely no bad behaviors:confused:

[Miles42]

Must be a thread for justification of ones bad behavior. I too have some bad habits however there is no justification for them and doesn't make them right

[dellapus]

the most important thing is if we make a mistake don't be shy to admit it

I rearrange mailbox stickers.

I'll wear one brown sock and one black sock on monday and one black sock and one brown sock on tuesday because I have two pair like that.

Hi Beechie,

I have another wonderful entertaining tip you might like. I cannot take credit for it though.

I read this in a book by Amy Sedaris, titled "I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence."

Amy says when unexpected guests arrive and you have nothing on hand to serve them, just chew up crackers and spit them on other crackers.

You're welcome. :wave:

[tomwed]

i yell too much.

[Halibut]

Amy says when unexpected guests arrive and you have nothing on hand to serve them, just chew up crackers and spit them on other crackers.

You're welcome.

Ah, I needed a good gagging today. I think it was David Letterman who had a joke years ago about scraping dropped toothpaste out of the sink to use as dinner mints.

[rubicon]

Well there is no sense in being a bad behaviorist unless you can act like one and there is no sense in acting like one unless you believe there is justification

Again, I absolutely am void of any bad behaviors:D

[graciegirl]

This is really upsetting my strong stomach.

I really like dirty jokes better.

[Wandatime]

Okay, okay. I was walking behind Eisenhower and saw about 150 cigarette butts, all of the same brand (Marlboro lights), on the ground. It took me a while to figure it out, but it appears someone who is there on a regular basis is smoking just outside the back door in a little walled off patio area then flicking the cigarette butts over the wall into the bushes. Apparently they've been doing this for awhile.

Anyway, I took one of my dog poop bags and picked up all the cigarette butts and put them in the bag. Then I tied a knot in the bag and threw it back over the wall. :angel:

I'm fastidious about cleanliness in the hospitals I used to run. If I found a cigarette butt someplace I would date it with a pen and then monitor how long it took to disappear, especially in stairwells. After 3 days, if it had not disappeared, the environmental services director and I made rounds - it was not a happy event. Sometime maybe I'll share my testing secrets for other areas and patient rooms.

[Beechie]

Here's one for you. I love to do this at a party attended by friends but hosted by a couple we've just met. I usually ask where the washroom is and when I'm ready to come back out I open the door and yell out "can I get a plunger in here". I find it best to get to know the newbies as soon as possible.

[dotti105]

On New Year's Day we had grown kids and grandkids in town.

Our 2 daughters and I decided to start the year off with a long walk. We headed east on Pinellas up to Buena Vista, up to 466A, East on 466A to Morse, turned south and headed back to Pinellas.

Now we didn't map this "little walk" and by the time we got to Bradenton Rec center I was about to die. We had covered 5 miles!!

I saw my golf cart at Bradenton and knew the guys and grandkids were in the pool. As we approached the parking lot our 35 yr old son got in my golf cart to go home for something they forgot. We waved him over and I asked if he'd give me a ride. He laughed and told me we were so close to finishing our walk I should just walk on home. (parent/ child reversal!)

As he pulled out of Bradenton I vigorously, aggressively, gave him a frantic, waving 1 finger salute!! To my horror the golf cart passing by was not him....but some nice little couple with a look of horror on their faces.

I thought I would die!! The girls and our son, who was following that cart out of the lot, had the laugh of their lives. I will never live that down!

But if it was you, please know that I do not shoot the bird at random strangers.

There, it is off my chest. I feel so much better!!

My favorite was a hostess once who came out of her powder room and announced, "How many of you have used the restroom? And the soap's not even wet!

I exceed the two pet rule by three goldfish. I think my Jack Russell has gotten my Shih Zhu pregnant. I don't know how many JackShihtz puppies she will have, but that complicates things a bit more.

I pee in the pool, but not while I'm in it.

Yesterday, I went through the express line at Publix with twelve items.

I ignore the FBI warning not to reproduce movies.

In church, when we sing hymns, I only lip sync.



I am a total scofflaw.

So you weren't the lady at Southside pool that totally freaked out when someone took a chair with shoes next to it? She spent the next 15 minutes yelling about how rude the other person was. It took all I could not to tell her that her behavior was much worse than the person who happened to chose the wrong chair.
