    A very disgusting habit indeed

    I agree with the op but I also feel very strongly that people shoudn't blow their nose at the table ie. when having a meal in the company of others. It turns me inside out. By all means blow your nose but go to the toilet and do it. I was having a meal out recently and the guy at the next...

    Best put-downs

    How, by using some of the suggestions mentioned. hmmm i'd rather ignore someone than pass some of the comments mentioned. While the first few were quite funny, they went downhill after that. But if we're talking about thinking these things and not saying them fair enough.

    Best put-downs

    Am I the only one who finds those last posts by seagull and csirl very offensive and not really appropriate comments on this website. The best way to 'put-down' someone is to ignore them. Since when did AAM become a site to find the best way to offend someone? Boggles the mind.
