Top Ten Things Women Shouldn’t Do in Public

6. Ask Your Boyfriend If He Loves You
It’s uncomfortable for him; it’s uncomfortable for us. Save your strange pillow talk for when you’re horizontal.

7. Tweeze Errant Hairs or Pop a Pimple
While I understand the temptation of removing any evidence that you’re less than perfect, doing so in public not only underscores your imperfections, it makes you look, well, kinda nasty.

8. Criticize Your Boyfriend
Sure, he may deserve it—especially if he’s treating a waitress like crap or ogling other women, but there’s a time and a place for everything and in public when everyone can hear your private conversation is not it.

9. Adjust the Girls
We’ve all been there before: a boob slips below your underwire or heads too closely to your armpit, but until you find a private spot, resist the urge to reach into your bra and readjust.

10. Pee All Over the Toilet Seat
If you do happen to have bad aim, remember the old adage: If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat!

Ok, maybe I'm too old to comment...but I don't think so. Most of these are common sense! And for you who says you do all...WHAT? Treat others as you would like to be treated. Common courtesy! Nobody wants to see your boobs, your ass, your muffin top or your v-jay-jay! And if it's a "he' you are trying to show it to, do so in private!

I don't agree with much of this list. Perhaps applying full makeup in public isn't the best thing to do. Showing midriff is great as long as it looks good and it is the appropriate time (not church, work, etc.) I do all of the other things on the list. I think that there is an art to doing "unladylike" things in public. Nonetheless there are far worse things one could do in public.

i disagree on the adjust ur bra and show ur midriff. midriff is fine! adjusting ur bra, well, dont go all out, but do what u gotta do. people have themselves to worry about, as long as ur not being obnoxious.

Hahaha...oh man, I expected way worse upon reading the title--these aren't really anything too terrible; in fact, my friends and I should probably make our own list full of way worse things that we do (setting off shopping alarms, running on escalators the wrong way, throwing things down each others' shirts, ect...kid stuff)...which reminds me, I did all of this in a skirt...and I sat on a quarter-machine ride....I froze my butt in the process (arcades are cold) #4 seems kind of random...lots of people do that, it's not seriously an issue...though, I'll admit, I want to punch people in the throat when they just start talking on their phone in public. Adjusting your bra....ooh, man, I'm busted on that one. Everyday I have to do that (I'm not too fond of my bras, they're all really small), it's actually become a joke between my best friend and I, and she just rolls her eyes when I do it...so for that, I guess I'd have to say I'm guilty for it (eh, puberty...whatterya gunna do? Haha) ;P
It feels good to write.
