Of these everyday rude habits, which bothers you most: loud phone calls, jumping queues, or chewing with your mouth open?

A natural way to answer

I'd rank queue-jumping as the worst, because it feels like a deliberate act of unfairness. Chewing with your mouth open comes second, as it's quite unpleasant to be near. Loud phone calls bother me least, since people often don't realise how loud they're being.
