I noticed when I first began dating my wife, who comes from a much more family-oriented culture, she would eat food off of my plate, saying "lemme try that!" For me, my family had never done that; what was on your plate was yours I guess, and if you wanted to try something that the other person had on their plate, you would go get it or make one yourself (depending on what it was of course). I noticed that it was a norm in her family to share food right off their plates, while in mine it wasn't. Very shocking to me at first but I have come to prefer the "sharing off the plate" method; it's more familial, and also a great way to taste food you didn't order!

I keep my distance in public restrooms because you never know when the guy beside you might be drunk or have a sudden twitch movement that causes his aim to falter and you might find yourself in the line of fire or taking collateral damage.

we should remove all restrooms. then we reconfigure all buildings to be smaller by the size of the space that is now unaccounted for. rearrange every building so that there are large areas of empty space scattered amoung them. turn all those empty spaces into huge grassy areas (or other types of natural environments) and designate those new areas as the new bathrooms. that way you can stand as close or as far away from anyone as you want.

oh and instead of spending money on all the plumbing and toilet paper and shit, just make sure that in those open spaces free shovels will be provided to people that need to poop.

Ya know the grass wouldn't last very long with all of that pee raining down constantly on it.

Restroom ettiquette observations, how novel!

Bus ettiquette in Ottawa is about the same as bathroom ettiquette. Don't sit beside someone you don't know if possible, don't sit across from someone if possible. And if you think about it, yes it's pretty weird to sit beside someone on a nearly empty bus and just be silent. Maybe if you wanted to talk to them its ok, but now you are probably creepy and they probably didn't want to speak to you.

It has nothing to do with homophobia. If anything at all, it has to do with a concern for personal space and not making others feel uncomfortable since this never happens otherwise. On the other hand, when the bus starts emptying, I won't move from my seat if I'm sitting beside someone, because I think that's rude. But I know some people do and I'm not sure if they realise what it implies or if they just want more room.

I don't see why it's conformist for guys to do this, but not conformist for girls to go to the bathroom together. They are still conforming to a stereotype. I actually don't see it happen that often either ;p If it happens it's because a girl is insecure or worried about something and wants to discuss it, not because she actually needs to use the washroom. IE there is a creepy dude they wanna ditch lol. Guys use other excuses to get away, but maybe less often since people consider it more okay for guys to hurt a person's feelings and be blunt than for girls, who must worry about being assaulted lest they protect someone's ego (and obviously some girls don't care and will be just as blunt).

I will move to an open seat on the bus if I sat down next to that person while it was crowded, not to send the message to offend, but to give them back the space that I took from them when I sat down.

I REALLY don't like saying "bless you" when someone sneezes. I prefer to just ignore it. However, I've been called rude for not blessing someone after they sneezed. wtf?

Nothing is worse than the guys who come in to the bathroom (in your 5 stall example) with a friend, continue on their conversation like no one is around, and have the audacity to take stalls 2 & 4.
