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 and slamming car doors.
