Which I think they learned from a group of mothers.

Personally I have no expectation that the table surface would not be germy so I would not eat food that touched it directly. Same with restaurant tables. But why would anything touch it when plates and napkins are available? You can always spread out a free newspaper as a placemat if you are phobic about it.

Would you be offended if that guy decided to sit naked in that chair? What if he used his bare hands to handle the buffet food instead of the tongs? What if he sneezed in a crowded elevator and didn't cover his mouth? You see where I'm going? It's okay for a civilized society to have some standards and expectations of basic decorum on an individual. Sadly, as a society, many people have forgotten their public manners and treat all public places as extensions of their living rooms.

Yeah, except in many case they know they are behaving poorly. We recently held a function with a reception at our University and had some students brazenly decide to help themselves before our guests showed up. I chewed their butts. What was most annoying is that when we hold such events afterwards we typically go into the near by study rooms and tell the student to come help themselves. There are never leftovers.

Was at a Doctor's office yesterday with my wife for her appointment. We arrive 30 minutes before her appointment time. The receptionist is handling the only other patient in the waiting area. A few minutes later, a mother/daughter arrive for the mother's appointment and she was already 30 minutes late for her appointment. The receptionist asks my wife if she would mind letting her check in these other people first. Being the nice person she is, my wife lets her do it. Meanwhile the daughter is speaking loudly on her phone to someone, then decides to play videos/snap chats/whatever very loudly and is loudly laughing at them. Her mother, after checking in, then starts an app on the phone like she is learning English. In the middle of all this a few more people come inside and have loud phone conversations on their cells. Luckily, my wife gets called in before the late person and I am able to go outside to get some peace and quiet.

I just don't get people sometimes.....

Last week I was on a flight to NRT with a couple doing that in bulkhead. The Tokyo-based crew must have been aghast. Beyond me why anyone thinks that is okay.

not quite sure what you're complaining about here
apart from being forced to spend a brief period of time in a public space with some people whose first language mightn't be English.

Yes. As I pointed out I agreed with the poster on it being acceptable. As for being naked that's against the law. The handling of food likewise would be a health violation. Yours and mine public manners expectations are just that, yours and mine. A simple hey that's not the norm here is fine. Berating someone isn't. It crosseseems a line IMO, when it goes from suggestion to trying to force the change. In Turkey I frequently see people in airport with no socks/shoes lounging around with feet up and walking through airport. I find it disgusting, but that's my social norm, not there's.

Eeeeee GAH! Have a quick conversation with the receptionist & cc: the Doc with a note. Every waiting room I sit in, has strict no chatting/YouTube etc./phone rules. In fact, I always ask if I can check e-mails or text - usual response is "yes, but no noise". Not quite "sterile cockpit" . . .

Now back to the aircraft . . .

Nudity is not cut and dried:

Agreed, however I believe nudity in an airport (for non-artist/protest purposes) is no ok at all airports. However I wouldn't berate them. I'd call airport police and let them determine.
