Reply To: How about being machmir on ben adam l'chaveiro?

Avram,

1. I was referring to people in the Coffee Room. However, b’toch ami ani yoshev. One common instance is people, being that you mentioned children, is men who must look after very small children who are incapable of sitting quietly. They do not realize that at that time it is prohibited for them to daven in shul (Mishna Beura 98:3). In fact, they think that they are being machmir on tefilla b’tzibbor.

2. When I go into a store to browse I try to avoid the salespeople and i one approaches me I state explicitly that I just want to look. I also lug groceries home even though I was told (not by the owner) that people can take wagons home so long as they return them.
