Have you ever felt it necessary to tell a friend to wise up?

Here I'm referring to trying to do them a favor by giving them a diplomatic 'head up'; for instance;
It's not good to rest your elbows on the table.
It would be better if you took a shower now and then.
Don't you check your clothes for stains before you leave the house?
You really shouldn't chew with your mouth open.
Why do you persist in talking with your mouth full?
Could you please stop telling raunchy jokes when this kids or the women are around?
Could you not belch or fart and laugh about it in front of my kids?
Do you have to dig your earwax with your keys at the dinner table?
Do you think it's funny to put your cigarette out in your mashed potato scraps while my wife and I are still eating?

Of course, if you're a real pussy about this kind of stuff, you'll stifle and seethe silently. I used to do that. I developed an ulcer the size of a hamburger patty.
(Just kidding.)

    Of course. It's what real friends do. I've been given at least a dozen of them and I've returned the favour about the same number of times. It's not easy to be on either side of the coin but it's better than everyone thinking it and nobody saying it.

    They never listen.

    All good close friends do it. It's when u trust someone to be frank to them without upsetting them!!! It proves how close u are to them! However your question does make it seem kind of mean and nagging in that list. So as long as you don't do it too often its normal and nice!!!!!

    I'm not cool by any means, but I do know what's considered awkward and what's not. Whenever I tell my friends that what they do is awkward I only do it when they want to fit in a little better. Otherwise, I don't really say anything since I'm not the person they're trying to impress.

    I always tell them whether they're my acquaintance or not. I always try to be nice and sweet about it, but I despise when people are just straight up disgusting. I'm sure their mom taught them better than that.
