Most Annoying Travel Habits
Front-Ranger:
'Nother annoying habit...leaving your alarm clock set. When bedding down in a hotel room, make sure your alarm clock is not set for some god-awful hour. I've been woken up by an alarm going off in the (empty) next room very early in the a.m. in two places: Pagosa Springs, Colorado, and Manhattan, New York. I tell you, that was a GDBOAUS!!

That is a 'housekeeping' problem. Them gals are suppose to check stuff like that when they make up a room.

My niece in her mid-20s will answer her phone sitting in my living room and just start talking with no "excuse me" to me and others sitting there, and no attempt at a short conversation. Suddenly this invisible, inaudible person has joined our conversation, and we, the people actually in the room with her, usually wind up being the ones who politely shut down. I've wanted to talk to her about this behavior and how much I hate it for years, but don't trust I'll be pleasant about it, so haven't said anything yet.

I thought I was the only one who thought talking on the phone while in company of someone else is rude.This is something that bothers me a lot. It is disrespectful and I always wonder why the person who calls is suddenly more important!

Yes, I agree, it is disrespectful when in a group, to ignore the group as if whoever is on the phone is the priority.

I know this because every now and then he would flush and carry on talking like it was no big thing. Makes you never want to tiouch anyone else's PDA or phone.
Thought it was a new low for the multitasking society, but according to a female freind who was there when I mentioned this later, totally agahast, said oh, it happens all the time in womens restrooms as the girls spend more time in the stalls.
Dont know about you folks but as someone who is not too comfortable going "#1" in public, dont know what'd it do to my plumbing if I was already in a position of needing to use a public facility for the serious business, and along comes some guy, plops down on the throne and then gets on the horn with his buds on top it it. Think it'd be a week before I could unclench.

That brings me back to that memory of mine at Montgomery Ward. :P
Yes. I know what you mean. I have a very shy bladder as well. :(
I won't use a public bathroom unless it is absolutely necessary. And even then, I will ALWAYS enter a stall.
