I find it funny that my mom had a lot of pet peeves that she passed down to me.....I guess it had more to do with common courtesy, morals, values, etc....but I am crazy when it comes to certain things....

1. If you have company never lay on the couch...always make sure everyone has a seat...its rude otherwise thus causing you to get slapped in front of everyone

2. If you are having dinner at someone else's house always make your plate last and seconds aren't really an option.

3. If your at someone else's house or if you have guests never stay in the bathroom too long especially if there is only one...that will cause yet another slap or to be yelled at.

4. If your at someone else's house always clean up your mess.

5. Never wear out your welcome...do not stay longer than necessary at someone else's house.

6. If you bought food always make sure you brought enough for everyone in the house....cause for another smack if you didn't.

LoL ... I am completely crazy about these things too, which is funny cause it used to irritate me when my mami would get mad about it.

I never have people around my house, and I never go to other peoples houses.

I was brought up to treat other people, how I would like to be treated myself. That's being respectful, and considerate. But, I rarely get treated with respect, or consideration, so this is very hard for me to do :)

Tizar! Whats up with that? You actually have to teach people to respect you. You do that by gently, but firmly, addressing disrespect. If they dont listen, then it is on their heads. Try it.:thumbsup:
