Tell us ... about people who misbehave in public
Blaring the horn in traffic. ... Yelling tirades at referees. ... Cutting in line. ... Being rude to wait staff.
Have you ever dated or known anyone who seemed very nice until they exhibited this sort of "red flag" public behavior that told you volumes?
Or be honest have you ever caught yourself being that way?

A legend officially retires
Paul Newman says he's given up acting.
"I'm not able to work anymore as an actor at the level I would want to," Newman, 82, told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday. "You start to lose your memory, your confidence, your invention. So that's pretty much a closed book for me."
Newman, star of films such as "Hud," "Cool Hand Luke" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," added: "I've been doing it for 50 years. That's enough."
He has other plates spinning. He plans to focus on the Dressing Room, his new organic restaurant in Westport, Conn., and his Hole in the Wall Gang camps for critically ill children.
His Newman's Own brand of dressings, pasta sauces, popcorn and salsa has raised more than $200 million for charities.
Newman was last seen or heard, rather as the voice of Doc Hudson in the 2006 animated feature "Cars."
