Things/Behaviour NOT to Do In Public- Three

• Men, keep your shirts on! I don't want to see your hairy chests or nipples or fat guts or your 'six-pack'. Have the decency and respect for women who are legally labelled 'indecent' if they went topless.
• When communicating and especially when doing any business transaction [i.e. exchange of money] get off your cell phone, remove head/earphones and remove sunglasses. If you are sharing a meal, beverage or communicating with friend, family, co-worker, acquaintance etc, stay off your cell phone! Do I also have to mention not to talk so loudly on your phone while on buses or other public places that someone else can hear your conversation? ...Not in theaters or restaurants or any other areas where other people are in close proximity and trying to enjoy their space without others intruding upon it.
• When someone addresses you or when someone says 'hello' or asks you a question, have the decency to respond in a clear, respectful manner.
• Do not walk in front of someone or cut them off. If it is unavoidable, say 'excuse me'.
• When you have been invited to share an event with someone or if someone has been very kind to you, send them a 'thank you' card in the mail...not an email, not a Facebook message, not an email....but an actual card of thanks.
• When shopping, do not walk in front of someone to retrieve those all so important material goods. Wait patiently until that person is finished shopping in that area and has moved down the aisle or further down the rack. Do not reach over their head to retrieve something off a higher shelf. I once had a frothing-mouthed shopper reach over my head in a flower/gift shop to grab a glass vase and when she turned it over to look for a price tag, all the water spilled out and on to my clothes. I guess I should be grateful it was just the water and not the vase hitting me on the head.
• When entering someone's home, remove your street shoes.
