Ok, I know I'm supposed to have holiday spirit and all, and will probably sound a little like Larry David but I'm going to address a little something called MANNERS (click for definition). It's becoming abundantly clear to me that less and less people have them. So let me break it down for those of you whose "Mama Brought You Up Wrong". The following are R-U-D-E:

1. Talking on your cell phone while I and the other people around you are trying to enjoy the manicures we are paying for, just like you. Guess what, the sound of your voice is intruding to the people around you. I nor does anyone who doesn't know you want to hear that you had sex with some random dude, that you met for like 5 minutes at a bar, got drunk and took home and screwed. A.You sound like a whore B. You sound like you are a lush C. The reason the little Korean ladies have a sign that says "Please NO Talking On Your Cell Phone" is that they are too shy and it's not in their culture to tell chatty bitches like yourself to SHUT THE F@#%& UP! (This pretty much goes for any place you share space with other human beings, watch the PSA below if you still don't get it)
2. Line courtesy, I and the people in front or behind me all have been patiently waiting in line for our turn at the post office, deli counter, or wherever. Guess what, you can't just walk up in front of the line and say I have a quick lil' question and it takes longer than 3 seconds. Technically, if your "lil question" exceeds this time frame you are cutting in line. Sorry, that's just how it is, and don't look perplexed when people give you dirty looks or if someone shouts at you where the line ends! (Oh and if you are at the deli counter and you see the ticket dispenser that gives you a number, take one that's why it's there, it tells you and the deli counter person who is next in line).
3. Ok, this one is going to totally get some people who have children upset with me. Handle your kids in a public place. Don't pretend you don't hear them carrying on and raising hell, or if you ignore them they will eventually stop. What you are pretending not to hear or see, I do and the other people around see it too. It's called DISCIPLINE, use some, it will hopefully prevent that Xerox copy of yourself from growing up rude!
4. Movie theaters, oh there is so much to cover here. The obvious, don't talk to your friend next to you, loud whispering is almost more annoying than regular talking. Don't talk or text every five seconds on your cell phone. The light and key tapping is visible and audible to the people around you. Food, I hate that you can basically have dinner at the movie theater now. It's bad enough to hear the rustling of popcorn, but now we have to contend with crunching nachos, noisy candy wrappers and the slurping of a giant size bucket of soda, I mean really, you need to suck even the few drops of melted ice left to get your money's worth.
5. Remember to say THANK YOU! Especially if you work in the service industry or being served by people who have to deal with mannerless beasts.

Basically, have a little respect for your fellow man. Common courtesy never hurt anyone the last time I checked. I'm no Emily Post, but I try not to infringe on other people's air space (visually or audibly). Don't say the P.S.A above didn't warn you!

Do bad manners or no manners at all irritate the hell out of you, I bet you have some juicy ones to share! "PLEASE" post your frustrations in the comments below?
