Random Things People Don't Seem To Understand.

1. Guys: When a girl smiles at you, she's just trying to be friendly. Nope, she's not interested in you, not trying to flirt OR hit on you. Save all that "nose up in the air" and "SHE DID NOT!" bit and just smile back. Don't be vain, please. This sometimes applies to girls as well.

2. When you come over to talk to someone and that particular person is in conversation with someone else, you don't just cut in and start talking to this said person and ignore the other person there. This is ESPECIALLY true if you intend to talk to your friend in a language that the other person does not understand. It's rude.

3. On the same topic, when you come in and join a group of people who have been there for a while, don't just come, zero in on ONE person, sit down and start chatting to that person without even saying hi to the others first. That's rude too, PARTICULARLY if you actually know all these people. No, it's not okay to, in mid-conversation, realise that the person you're talking to is not the only one at the table and go "oh, hi [insert name], [another one], [yet another name]". It's insulting and very very annoying. Not to mention rude.

4. For service people, smile, for goodness' sake. You are getting paid to do this. You knew what you were getting into when you joined and decided to become a service person. So there is no reason to be surly and emo to the customer standing in front of you who is trying to make your day better by being nice to you. It's stupid because if said customer gets fed up and loses his/her cool, then there's always a good chance that you would get in trouble.

5. The signal lever on cars are there for a reason. You use it when you're supposed to switch lanes or turn into a junction. USE IT. Oh, and by the way, it's not ok to turn on said signal one second before you turn into the said junction/lane, for obvious reasons. Go back to your book of driving rules and reread it, please.
