Like Jeev said, there are hundreds of mannersims that i dont like..... but then we dont live in a perfect world and its an ever changing ever evolving place.. especially dubai, a potpourri of ppl from diff cultures..
1. Not using the words, Please,Thank you, Welcome.
2. Looking at some ppl in a derogatory manner.
3. Being rude under normal circumstances
4. Snorting in public
5. Swearing in public (for some its like a style statement, I'm not talkin abt forum, in real life with no consideration of ppl around)
6. Showing dis respect to elders and making fun of aged
7. Talking excessively loud at public places
8. Coming out in public after taking a dip in ultra strong perfumes, athar.
9. Taking food with the same hand that is being used for eating.
10. Burping and breaking wind loud with no sorry or Excuse
11. Keeping their entire heavy arms on a shared arm rest
12. Crackin sarcastic jokes on others
13. Using 'had I been in your shoes' at every given chance.
14. Objecting others mannerisms
List is endless but then its not my world, people do things their way. I dont like them so i dont take some.. Not denying the fact that some are really bad... like the first three listed by asc... I remember one of my colleages, a senior Tech Analys scratching herself in the most ing way even at presentations.. Eeeew... and one of our guests who would fart loudly and laugh n ask for excuse.

Ok this is a true story. Actually happened to me this morning. Wish I had a camcorder at the time.
So I was stuck in the usual traffic on SZR when for some reason I decided to look in my rear view mirror. So there were 2 guys in a Camry. The guy driving started combing his hair with his hands. No biggie right? He then proceeded on scratching his chest and his face for some reason. No time for a shower? Out of water? I don't want to know. Then proceeded to brush his teeth. With his fingers. Yes. Then of course, the big finale, opened his door to spit.

Well everyone in the office seen him doing it, so we have antiseptic and we spray anything he touch and if anybody bring food to share in the office we make sure to give him first so his hand do not go in the box but if it has then no one will eat. I do not think there is anything worse than that??
