When someone eats with reckless regard usually involving and not limited to ignoring errant food particles on face and, if applicable, in facial hair, shoveling food into one's mouth before completely swallowing the previous bite, utilizing every finger on every hand, and uncontrollable stares from spectators. Throwing up results in an automatic disqualification.
That guy always comes in here with his competitive eating etiquette like no one else comes to McDonald's. Show some class.

Get the competitive eating etiquettemug. Refers to the (unfortunately very-seldom-practiced!) consideration of using a separate hand-held rubber eraser --- or at least to slip on one of those much-longer-lasting wedge-shaped "supplementary" eraser-caps if you know you'll be doing a lot or error-expunging --- to clean most of your mistakes instead of just mindlessly consuming your pencil's minuscule built-in eraser, so that you don't wear da entire 0%!$&#@ eraser clear down to the metal ferrule before the pencil's even been "sharpened away" much at all, causing any unfortunate person who subsequently attempts to use said pencil to not have any eraser left for "emergency" erasures (i.e., where he needs to make a quick correction in a tense/flurried situation, like trying to hastily jot down a phone number or address, or to quickly fill out a form where neatness is a must). It helps eliminate waste, as well --- think how many still-perfectly-usable pencils (i.e., they still have most of their "length" remaining) likely get discarded just because their erasers are worn down.
I always bring along a few pencil cap erasers in my purse, since I know how few people actually practice pencil-eraser etiquette, and so oftentimes the only pencils that will be lying around for people to use will not have any eraser left.
P.S. There's also such a thing as "pencil-POINT etiquette --- if ya wear down the lead in a "public" pencil, such as a string-tethered one for a "customer comments" notes-box, practice a little fellow-human consideration by scraping away a bit of the wood at the tip to expose a little of the graphite core again (here's where always carrying a small pen-knife --- or even better, one of those tiny two-finger-grip "dog-bone" or "hourglass" style sharpeners --- can come in handy), so that da next patron who wishes to fill out a store-satisfaction card can have enough of a point on da pencil to actually do so!

Get the pencil-eraser etiquettemug. A few simple "no brainer" rules that, if we'd all follow them, would make posting/reading paper ads/notices a much more pleasant and peaceable experience for everyone involved.
The "perfect five" rules of community bulletin-board etiquette:
(1) Each poster should be limited to one message per board, unless he is posting two or more "unrelated" ads/notices.
(2) Notices should be a maximum size of an 8-1/2X11 sheet of paper --- don't selfishly hog a whole gigantic portion of board-space with those 0%!$&@# huge-a** blaze-orange/fuchsia/chartreuse banner-sheets from da Dollar Tree's art-paper bin!
(3) Only attach notices to a blank portion of the board --- don't imperiously plaster your poster over everyone else's, regardless of whether you think your message is so much more all-fired important! If there’s insufficient room, make at least a half-a** effort to solve the problem rationally/fairly --- shift other people's sheets around on the board to form a "tighter" grouping, seek out and remove any "obsolete" (event-dates that have already passed) messages, etc.
(4) Don’t use the last “empty” thumbtack/pushpin on the board, or snitch one from someone else’s page! If the supply of available fasteners is running low, add a few tacks/pins of your own! Plus if you see someone else’s poster dangling/flapping by just one corner, pin it back up again.
(5) Choose a spot on the board that’s appropriate to your ad’s subject/urgency. If it’s about a lost/found valuable, super-important event, or desperately-needed item, place the ad near the center of the board. But if it’s merely a “for sale” ad or general notice, place it near the board's top/bottom/sides.

Get the ass etiquettemug. What we should all practice when visiting da "little boy's room" or "little girl's room".
"Top ten" public-restroom etiquette rules:
(1) Only stay as long as necessary, so dat other "in a hurry" folks can relieve themselves A.S.A.P. --- just "do your business", wash your hands, and vamoose!
(2) Only use da amount of RESOURCES dat you actually need, as well --- i.e., don't pull off "yards 'n' yards" of toilet-tissue or paper towels, just dispense da necessary volume of liquid soap or hand-sanitizer, run da faucet sparingly, etc. Remember dat whoever is providing said welcome lavatory is HIMSELF having to pay for said costly consumables!
(3) Speaking of toiletry-supplies, if you'll need to be spending any length of time on da porcelain throne, check out da tissue-dispenser --- if it's nearly empty and there's a replacement roll within arm's reach, utilize part of your extended "oval seat" period to swap out said mostly-consumed fiber cylinder; use da last of da old roll for your own present wiping.
(4) Remember to flush da toilet afterwards… duhhh!! Besides being far less gross for da unsuspecting "next" person, it can also reduce da issues discussed in Rule #9 below!
(5) And then speaking of "yuckies", "be a sweetie and cleanse da seatie" if you "sprinkled when you tinkled"! (Bonus reminder --- most people prefer if you put both da seat and lid down when you leave.)

Last five of da "top ten" public-restroom etiquette rules:
(6) Also tidy up da ROOM if it needs it --- flush down any dropped tissue, ram any “protruding” paper towels back down into da wastebasket, etc.
(7) As mentioned in Rule #2, whoever is "hosting" da bathroom is also PAYING for whatever resources dat said facility requires! So be sure to "turn everything off" before ya just blithely waltz off --- close da faucets firmly, and USUALLY (see below) switch off da electric lights and fan.
(8) If someone tries da locked door of da bathroom while you're still in there, keep this event in mind, both with regards to how rapidly you try to finish up, and also to then notice if said next user is still waiting outside da door when you start to exit; if so, practice "bodettiquette" and DON'T turn off da lights! Remember, this other person may really be urgently "needing to go", so you will want to make things quick and easy for him.
(9) If you "made a big stink" during your call-of-nature-related activities, you actually should **not** turn da vent-fan back off when you're done. And --- especially if there are likely to be other people located close to and/or passing by da door of da bathroom soon --- be sure to **close said door**, as well, to help keep da stench contained till da fan can sufficiently draw it away.
(10) Promptly tell da staff if da restroom needs attention, so dat da next user isn't greeted wif a nasty surprise, such as empty paper-dispensers or a clogged sink!
