Some people consider talking on a cellular phone in public rude,

while others continue to talk wherever they go.

Do you think it's rude to talk on your cell phone while being checked out at the registry?

I think it's completely rude to the cashier.  I don't expect the customer to have a conversation with me as a cashier. However, I do know from experience being a check-out cashier when I was 17 and using the register at the pharmacy that the customers input is necessary. It's extremely difficult when you have to ask the customer what type of card they are using for payment, and they refuse to acknowledge you. I always feel like I'm the one being rude when I have to interrupt the conversation they are having and ask them to please sign, press a button or to tell them something about the prescription they are picking up.

One day I had it with people coming to the pharmacy talking on their cell phones, so now I refuse to help that customer until they get off their phone and I have their undivided attention.  In the mean time I help someone else and that other customer eventually gets the hint. 

There's a time and place for everything, and cell phones are no exception.

Selfish people parking too close to my car!!

[ not my own photo]

Normally this sort of thing wouldn't bother me too much, after all it's their paintwork that's likely to suffer when I open my door to get in or out of my car. Why do some drivers insist on parking so close to the driver's side of my car? I'm always careful to get exactly in the middle of the white lines in a parking space. Some people seem unable to do this.

Last semester after class I found my car much like the photo above.  I couldn't even squeeze between the cars to open my door.  I had to open my passenger side door and crawl to the drivers side.  I was soooo friggen peeved off I then decided I was going to leave them a nasty note on their windshield.  When I say nasty I mean like I cursed probably about ten times.  Hopefully they'll be more cautious or maybe amazing karma will do it back and teach them a lesson ;)
