Do you hate any type of behavior, that is considered polite in society?

For instance, I hate when people say “have a good meal” while I’m eating. I find it very pointless, unnecessary and also lame, especially when I have a food in my mouth but have to respond “thank you”.

Do you have anything you hate/dislike?

I hate when customers, coworkers or just any stranger ask me Hi, how are you? I don’t want to answer and I’m definitely not going to ask how you are in return. I always just quickly say I’m fine then keep it moving. It seems a little rude but I really don’t like speaking to people and I’m not trying to start an unnecessary conversation and it always leads to one.

I hate that too! Mainly because I’m guilty of saying “you too” to the waiter and then wanting to die inside :sob: I know @ChaoticDeluge feels the same way!

Whenever people continuously say “good morning”. Constantly.

Having to lie to people just because it wouldn’t be polite to tell them what you really think :eyes::sparkles:

Asking “Are you OK?” when they don’t actually care about your wellbeing.

I hate when people say I have to say you’re welcome after they say thank you…

I dont need a thank you, so I dont say you’re welcome. Sometimes I say no problem, or uh huh…

And how can someone be mad after I just did something from them just cuz I didn’t say you’re welcome!!

When you arrive at a place, and you have to greet everyone with a kiss on the cheek, whether you know them or not… same when you leave a place.
I’m pretty much an ambivert, and this is something that gives me social anxiety. I don’t mind greeting people that I feel comfortable with by giving them a hug or a kiss on the cheek, but not people I barely know or don’t interact with much. If there are people in a room that I’m not that close with, I prefer to just wave and say ‘hi’ in general.

And I don’t hate it, but I’ve never been able to tell someone ‘Bless you’ (or Salud) when they sneeze. I don’t know why?! Maybe because my parents didn’t say it much (my mom sometimes says it to people but my dad didn’t)… but I just can’t bring myself to say it to anyone, unless someone else says it first. I know, awkward!

I fell ya about the sneeze part xD I stopped saying it, and taught everyone at my work to stop saying it to me. Especially since I have a seasonal allergy, and I sneeze a LOT in the summer.

I actually had a customer write a letter about me not saying your welcome to her a couple of times at work. She gave it to my boss. The crazy part is that she had my full name on the letter. Most times I say your welcome after I’m finished with a customer but they just don’t hear me say it because I’m a quiet talker.

When they ask how you are- it’s always going to be the same reply. I’m always going to reply the same thing even if I’m having a bad day, “Good”. Idk why it’s a thing. I mean, it’s okay if your friends ask you that and you can really vent, but you can’t do that with a stranger and you’re stuck in the stance of saying, “Good.” I personally don’t ask people how they are if I don’t plan to get a genuine response.

I know right! I was so mad when that happened. I had no idea who she was. Sometimes I do forget to say Your welcome. I now always say no problem.

I just hate when people talk to me tbh

In all seriousness I hate fake niceness, I have no time for it. When I walk into a shop I don’t want people coming up to me like “good morning!” It doesn’t make me feel good.

At the same time I don’t want to be treated badly though but niether does anyone?

Just be regular with me I cba with pleasantries.

•Having to stand up when you greet your teacher to “show respect” :expressionless:

•sitting on chairs in a certain way, I usually sit in a weird way and some people think that it’s rude, although the only reason why I am sitting that way is because the chair isn’t comfortable… :expressionless:
