How much do you modify your behavior?

[Godzilla]

To what extent do you modify your bevavior based on how you perceive others opinions and observation of you?

For example, if you would normally pick your nose in your car on the way to work, but would not do that if you thought someone was watching you.

This can get weird if you really think about it.


One example of mine: I sometimes repress laughter at a silly thought I might have, because I know that nobody would understand what I was laughing about.

I think he meant when someone else was in the car with him.

I find myself laughing at thougts I have and people look at me real strange.  I just look at them and grin and notice they get real scared...lol.

I'm not often invited back for dinner.

The older I get the more dubious I've become of social morals. PC behaviour modifcation annoys the hell outta me.

When my balls itch, I scratch 'em.

Imo scratching your balls at the dinner table is acceptable behaviour if your subtle about it. After all an itch is there to be scratched. But using the cutlery like a salad fork to scratch with might be pushing the boundaries of dinner table etiquette.

If you have a dog that is occasional hand fed scraps at the table, you might want to be careful with that one...

feeding yer pets from the dinner table is disgusting behavior. If yer gonna feed the damn thing from your table, just put his bowl on the table and give him a chair. while yer at it, why bother with silverware for yourself.

Scratching balls is less offensive than snuffling begging dogs.

it's said that if your bad at something, someone watching will screw you up .....

likewise, if your good at something , being watched makes you preform better.....

So I wonder if you think your being watched while picking your nose ..... if your really digging for it, or if you slip and poke yourself in the eye......I'll bet your digging for it you expert


I take it back...... this is an expert

I used to be more quiet or tell half truths around people I didnt know.
As I get older I find myself voicing my opinion more and caring less about if people liked what I am saying or not

Problem is. Most people dont like hearing the truth. They just want you to agree with them

How do you know what you're saying is the truth? (j/k)

I find myself being more PC about what I say around people, I hold my opinion in reserve...except on forums...then just the opposite occurs.

Plastic People piss me the hell off.  

Like you, Rip. I truly enjoy ripping 'em up when they trot out PC BS for rubber stamp nodding heads.

That would make a good hidden camera stunt. Get alone with someone in an elevator and just start snickering

who gives a rip about other's opinions about any subject. roll down the window, eat that booger and laugh heartily, sheesh.

My younger brother is funny. He would sit at the red light in the center of town. People all around and in plain view, he'd pick his nose. I dont mean a little rub, I mean deep digging to the second knuckle. And he would stare at people as he did it. Just to get a reaction out of them.

 I went into a theatre the other night, and this troll of a man was in my way standing there, and starts to blow his nose in a hanky. Not a quiet blow, a big honkin blow you would see in a cartoon. Then he starts belching very loud. Its funny how some folks can just be themselves. Im very self concious with things like that. I wont take a dump at a house where the toilet is too close to the other people, if we were at a party or something.

  The one area Im not shy in is talking however. I can meet a perfect stranger in a line, and start talking about anything. Sometimes intimate subjects. Its surprising how you can pull someone into an intimate conversation that normally wouldnt do so, if you just open up a bit and relax. Its a nice feeling.

  LOL..my bro..I gotta give him a call.
