Listening to old people's casual racism.
One-on-one conversations with people I don't know very well if there's no escape routes (eg on a bus).

People singing in public. It's very awkward. You don't know if you should applaud them (if they are good), boo them (if they are bad), or stare at them like the freak they are.

When sex is used in movies and tv for laughs and is neither funny nor erotic. Indeed. It's always such a weak attempt at being edgy.

One that I just experienced: Watching my friend cheat on his girlfriend. He recently started a relationship with a girl I don't know, but when I went and hung out with him tonight, the express purpose on his mind was to get in the pants of a woman who clearly, most assuredly, wasn't his girlfriend. And it wasn't even out of any anger or desire to get back at her for something; he said outright that he just felt like getting with someone else, and what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her. Then I had to watch him flirt with some chick. It was like watching a puppy humping a person's leg. Every shameless pickup line and every pervy physical move were pulled. I wanted to kick his ass right there, except that we were in public, and I was with one of this woman's friends who he was trying to get me with. Nothing that a private Facebook message to his girlfriend can't solve, though. EDIT: Which I did send, btw, and which she's already thanked me for.

When people don't watch thier kids in public. I saw so much of that this week when I was in Chicago with my nephew. My mom and sister were there too and we always made sure one of us was with him at all times. Yet at the zoo there are kids climbing on the walls next to the gorillas and other animals to where the kids could easily fall in and there are no adults in sight. It made me nervous too at one of the museums we went to there was an exhibit with bugs and you turn a corner and there are giant beetles. This girl took her little brother around the corner and he got scared and turned around and grabbed my leg with both arms. You never know what the parents are going to say or think if they walk around the corner. People singing in public. It's very awkward. You don't know if you should applaud them (if they are good), boo them (if they are bad), or stare at them like the freak they are. haha I do that all the time. My friend's girlfriend said I should sing louder because it's rude to sing so quiet that no one else can hear. I used to just sing to myself but I guess that's more weird?

Kids, there's nothing more cool than being hugged by someone you like.
But if somebody touches you in a place or in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's NO GOOD.

Racism's a big one with me. I just recently reconnected with an old friend, and while we were hanging out at her place, her boyfriend and other roommates got into a very racially charged discussion, with the N-word being dropped probably 5-10 times a minute for a 20 minute time span, among other words. I mean, it's their home, and they can say what they want, so I just stayed quiet. However, I have no interest in hanging around that kind of ignorant white trash. I told my friend that I was free to hang out with her again in the future, but not around those people. I felt dirty just sitting there with them.

Compliments. Whenever someone gives me a compliment, I have no idea what to do with it; I'm not used to it. When someone tells me that I'm good at something or that I'm a talented writer or that I'm good-looking (yes, people have said I'm good-looking), I just kind of ball up because I never, ever believe them.

I understand this totaly. It's like rather than saying "Thank you" you start thinking they are just saying it to be nice. Then you think they pity you or something.

Same here the majority of the time. If I didn't realize I did something well enough for my standards or whatever, I'm always caught off guard by compliments. I also feel fairly crappy from time to time when I get compliments on stuff I've half-assed.

People come up after and say it was good and I always just say "It wasn't very good but thank you."

I think it's the effect of growing up with parents who, instead of helping me improve myself and work on my flaws, always treated me like I was a perfect child sent from the heavens. Once I went to school and found a whole bunch of people who did NOT think I was perfection, it jarred me. So to this day, whenever people compliment me, my instinct is to think they're just B.S.ing me.

I got picked on a lot so even with my friends sometimes I wonder why they are my friends and when they compliment my music I think they are just being nice.

"bros before hoes" is bullshit. if someone's being an asshole, they deserve to be called on it. no matter who they are.

When it means staying loyal to your friends rather than going after women who mean a lot to them, I agree with it. But yeah, when it's construed to mean covering for your friend's dickish behavior toward women and making them feel that they're cool for acting like it, then that's total crap, as it was in the situation I just described with my cheating friend.

Having a female clerk be working the checkout stand when I'm buying a Playboy. Not that I'm ashamed of enjoying nudie mags, but that tends to be awkward. I feel like that when I buy condoms.

People being disrespectful towards others in public. Part of me feels embarrassed for whoever is being disrespected and another part of me is pissed at the douchebag who goes out of their way to make a fool out of someone in public. I agree with this plus what some people find as entertainment irks me to no end. I used to love Survivor, Big Brother, and some award shows. But nowadays, I find myself cringing at them. Those shows make me feel uncomfortable.

Easily the two biggest things for me are visiting someone in the hospital and/or someone who has just lost someone. I always feel like the most useless person there and I never know what to say and I feel really dumb. I try to say something nice and comforting, but it all seems hollow and useless.
People who enter my "zone". When you're standing there and someone gets a little too close. It's always bothered me.
I used to have this friend and she told me about her sex life all the time. She also told me about the many many times she cheated on her boyfriend. One day I met them both at a store and seeing him made me feel really crappy. A part of me wanted to tell him everything (she cheated on him a hell of a lot) and another wished she had never said a word to me at all about it. I never slept with her, but funny enough he was convinced she was seeing me on the side .
