Many of us notice the annoying public habits of others while being oblivious to our own. Here is a list of the top 10 annoying public habits.

1. Being Loud:
They come in late at night blasting the radio, hitting the car horn, waking everyone in the neighborhood. Or those who get up at the crack of dawn, yelling at the kids, shouting into the cell phone at six o'clock in the morning, clattering garbage cans, slamming car doors.

And then there's the one who is just plain loud everywhere they go. They can be heard coming from a distance because they can't speak in a normal tone, but have to yell. The only thing more annoying than a loud person, is a loud person with a loud friend!

You're in a booth at a quiet restaurant, trying to unwind and enjoy your meal when the person in the booth behind you gets a call on their cell phone. Your quiet meal is interrupted by the one-sided conversation while the person chats away as if they were the only one there, not realizing how loud their conversation is in a quiet place.

You are at work and the customer you're waiting on answers their cell phone. You pause, expecting them to say they'll call back later but instead, they engage in conversation. That's when you shout, "NEXT!"

You are in the checkout line and the person in front of you is taking things out of their cart, putting them on the belt at a reasonable pace, until their cell phone rings. Suddenly, they slow to a crawl because they only have one hand as the other is
