Before I answer the questions, I am aware I am most likely rude.
1) Are you chronically late? No.
2) Have you ever typed an email while talking on the phone? Yes, I've done that.
3) Have you ever interrupted a face to face converation to take a non-emergency cell phone call? Well, yes but then, I didn't know it was a non-emergency. If my kids call, I answer it because it usually means I need to pick them up early or something.
4) Have you ever gone through a supermarket express lane with more than the alloted items? No
5) While among friends or coworkers have you ever yawned without covering your mouth? No
6) Have you ever texted or talked on a cell phone in the movie theater? No
7) Have you ever let your dog relieve himself on your neighbor's yard. Yes but we live in a rural area with large lots and wild brush. All the dogs go out there and no one is upset by it... never on a lawn or something though.
8) Have you ever cut someone in line? not on purpose and will rectify when I make that mistake.
9) Have you ever let your child kick the back of the seat and not apologize to the victim? absolutely not, I just hate that.
10) Have you ever stolen a parking spot? no, I hate that too.

It depends on the situation. I'm never late to meetings at work, but often late in getting Gillian to school, parties, appointments, etc. I have a really hard time getting both of us ready and out the door.

Yes.

Probably. I usually do cover it, though.

Nope. I wouldn't do it anyway, but Gillian is the cell phone police and makes me turn my phone off the instant we sit down.
7) Have you ever let your dog relieve himself on your neighbor's yard?
I haven't got a dog, but if I did, I wouldn't allow that.
8) Have you ever cut someone in line?
Not on purpose, and if I see that I've done it by accident, I apologize and let them go ahead of me.
9) Have you ever let your child kick the back of the seat and not apologize to the victim?
No.
10) Have you ever stolen a parking spot?
No, I'd be too afraid of ending up shot in a parking-lot altercation. People are nuts.
11) Have you ever not RSVPd to an event by the date requested?
Only if I didn't receive the invitation in time.
12) Have you ever taken someone else's food or drink from the office refrigerator?
No way.
