10 Things You Should Not Do in Public!

Theresa L.
My family and I were heading home from my parents house, when out of the blue my husband began cleaning his teeth. It was not your typical cleaning of the teeth, he was on the hunt for some gold. As this is going on, I could not help but think about the things you should not do in public, and here is my top ten list.

1) Clean your teeth with a toothpick. I will admit, we all have gotten that kernel suck in our teeth at one time in our lives. However, no one wants to see what you been eating, especially if it was last nights chicken dinner.

2) Farting. Everyone farts, it is apart of nature. If you do not fart then there is something physically wrong with you. However, it does not mean anyone wants to suffer the smell of your bodily noise. Please, whatever you do, do not assume that by leaving the room it will not follow you - it does.

3) Picking your nose. Yeah it is cute when kids do it. I have a picture of my son doing a double nose job, but when you are an adult it is just flat out disgusting.

4) Scratching. Yes, the heat does make you sweat and itch. However, there are some parts of the body that are not meant to be touched in public.

5) Getting it in the toilet. There is nothing more disgusting than walking into a bathroom and seeing bodily fluids on the toilet seat. If you are going to make a mess, either clean it up or go at home.

6) Clipping your toenails. There are just some feet that should not be scene, and clipping your toenails in front of someone is just plain gross.

7) Shaving. Yeah it can be sexy at times when your shaving your face or a lady is shaving her legs. However, it is beyond gross to watch someone shaving their armpits or privates.

8) Refusing to wash your hands. This one had to be thrown in, there is nothing as disgusting as seeing someone walk out of a bathroom and head straight to the door.

9) Handling food. This is normal one when you are shopping. What makes handling food disgusting is when a person starts coughing, and than picks it up to examine it before putting it back down.

10) Popping pimples. There are private bathrooms for a reason, and seeing someone stand in front of a mirror popping that oozing pimple on there face is disgusting.

With that, keep in mind if you are a married or in a relationship most of these do not count. However, they still count if you leave your house!

    I used to work with a guy who broke almost all of these rules. He once popped a zit on his stomach while sitting in the cafeteria at lunch time with the rest of the office sitting next to him. Luckily for me that was before I started that job, but by then it was a grotesque legend.

    My hubby can send me running from a room. Most wives can tolerate a lot.

    Thanks for sharing. If they get on your spouse's nerves, they might just count.

    LOL at this one. I once saw a woman flossing in the airport. In the terminal, not the bathroom. Blech!
