I offended a coworker at the office. What should I do?

That's such a strong statement I can't tell if it's serious.

I'm curious, how would you order these and where would you place it?

  • Not washing your hands after going to the bathroom
  • Flossing your teeth in the office
  • Blowing your nose in a restaurant
  • Watching a child eat with his hands
  • Peeing in your pants
  • Sneezing on a coworker
  • Talking about vomit during a meal

I don't floss in the office. I've never been scolded for it but I've gotten disgusted looks for doing it in the office bathroom. I've been scolded for blowing my nose in a restaurant, nevermind it was at JFK and on a patio table outside the restaurant. My kids eat with their bare hands all the time. I try and stop them and they've gotten better but that's not stopped us from getting banned from a restaurant for stuff like that. I've not done the others but it seems like about 1/4 of people I see in the bathroom don't wash their hands. None of these items would bother me more than mildly. I'd certainly never scold someone for it, I might politely mention it at most.
