Nice piece. I have to admit that I agree with the entire list.
MY number 1 is not respecting personal space; followed by being rude to waitpersons, etc. I once was out having breakfast (the only free time we each had at that time) with someone I had just met in person from an online forum and he was just downright nasty to the restaurant help and then left an insulting tip. I was mortified. As we left, he went up to pay the check, I apologized to our waitress and added to his puny tip.
Needless to say, I never met him in person again. I have a female friend who is the same way. I don't understand why people feel the need to feel superior over others. That's how I perceive such poor behaviour/manners.

Drinking to get drunk is tied for number 1 also.
