Yeah I agree AQ. I don't get the relentless pursuit of money. Like I want enough to live comfortably and no more. Also don't understand mindlessly chasing trends.

Money is one of my favourite things!

I like having it, but having more than I need for a decent life would probably make me nervous.

I use money like everyone else. .. because it's necessary. I also take the train every day... because it's necessary. That doesn't mean I'm obsessed with trains or love trains.

I'd prefer a world where people who are obsessed with money were considered as weird as trainspotters.

You are wrong about not liking handshakes just because you never got the meaning of it. Base rule: Your handshake should always be firm, but not as firm that it hurts the other! Best is just as firm that it gives the other a little bit hold while you are doing it. This way a handshake expressed that you are self-confident but accept the other and that you expect of beeing accepted by him as well. It's quite a contract: You give him hold and he gives you hold and you want to stand together! Doing it not if another wants to do it expresses that you don't like the other at all and that you don't want to get along with him at all. Doing it weak expresses that you don't really care about the other. For this always try to do it in the right way!

I would much prefer the Oriental way, which is a modest bow of the head and shaking one's own hands. It has equal capacity for respect and good intentions, as well as a complete escape from each other's germ-laden skin.

I agree, Benjamin.

The NTs think I'm crazy because they're crazy. Sssh....don't tell....it's been a secret for over half a century....

I dislike it when people exhibit rude and jerky, very sudden, mannerisms. With the exception of people with Tourette's or a similar medical condition that can justify it, it's crass and poor form.

For example, I sometimes get on a train carriage and while I'm looking around for a seat, some people will make abrupt bodily movements as my eyes cross their path, as though they are trying to threaten me with an emission of motion.

I have never seen people do that. Are you sure they are reacting to you? Do they behave differently if you watch a video of a train without being present?

I rode a commuter train for ten years. Keeping a double seat to oneself is an art. I was penalized because I was skinny, so I developed ways of sitting and moving that made me seem wider.

I ALWAYS try to get a double seat on the bus. Sitting next to a stranger on the bus means I feel them, and smell them, which I really don't like. In fact, I'd rather stand because at least then it doesn't mess with my senses.

How they act like when they do you the slightest favor, you have a moral duty to act like they dragged you out of a burning building

How they find it necessary to say "young man" and "young lady". Gender this and gender that

How they act like it's man/lady. It's man/woman, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls

Not guy and girl

:mrgreen:

"Are you ok?", And you have to say "thank you"

They can't and won't "help"

If they don't want to do something, they say they "can't"

They say "sorry" for things that are not their fault, but when they do something wrong, they dismiss it

When you do something wrong, they exaggerate

Like they have never done anything wrong before

And "the meaning of life is :roll: helping people :roll: "

As a greeting:
"Lookin' good! Lookin' good!"
no matter what I look like.

My brother used to say, "You'd look so good if you'd only lose some weight" *every* time we met, that's me, Mom, and Sis. So we told him to cut it out. Ever since, he greets us with "Lookin' good!" It's the same us.

How they act like everything is or has to be hilarious

Off leash dogs

Dogs with clothes

How they act so morally innocent

How NTs think tiny, inbred dogs with bug-eyes and breathy problems are cute. There's nothing cute about inbreeding an animal that can hardly breath!

How they are so simple-minded and dramatic

"Helping" versus "hurting"

How they act like they have a moral right to get whatever they want at all times

How they confuse their opinion with fact

How they refuse to admit that they did something wrong

And even when they do, it's just "sorry"

No reparations

:mrgreen:

How they act like "wat?" Is really the etiquette equivalent of "excuse me"

I don't think I have just one.
Buying an expensive wedding dress to wear only once.
The need to be talking on their phones all the time- even when they are minutes away from meeting the person they are talking to.
Giving you their life story when you didn't ask
Makeup
The need to talk to you in an elevator, while waiting for something, on line, etc or in any circumstance where god forbid there might be silence. Silence petrifies them.
