Etiquette - June 2006

I went to Scotland on an exchange and they called their first year students "freshers. Is this just political correctness or are they saying that the women can be fresh too?

Especially if it's a bit distracting...

My coworker is driving me crazy. From simple things like everytime the phone rings she wants to know who was calling, even if the call was not for her to picking items up from my desk and reading them. Everyone else in the office has gotten use to it but it just gets under my skin. She once spent an entire day quzzing everyone trying to find out who the boss went golfing with. She is not a bad person but this one thing I just can't deal with, Please advise.

Would that be a nice compliment to give a woman?

He's a pretty good friend, and I'm not sure I even want to ask him. He might not have even. He was using my bathroom, where I keep my laundry. I'm pretty sure I had a pair of things in there, and now I can't find them.

This dude I work with sucks snot like every 3 minutes. I'm talking like a pre-loogie suck. I wish he'd just either hack the thing up or blow his nose. But how do you tactfully tell a co-worker that he is repulsive????

I've seen lots of females who get offended if a man compliments her. How do you handle a compliment-not vulgar or wolf whistle compliment ans which was the more original one?

I was in a business meeting & the speaker had a LARGE boogie hanging out of his nose. What would be the proper thing to do? Folks were looking away, while other were sniffing and/or wiping their nose, but he never got the drift.

And yet some of the most perverse crap makes it way through. How do you figure that works? Would you not agree the system is arbitrary and therefore not fair and/or efficient? Just a thought...I really don't care about it one way or another, but it struck me as feeble.

Best I've ever heard are: 'Keep shouting, sir - we'll find you!', 'A bit more throttle on that and you would have started.' and 'You'll have to pay for that now you've broken it.'

If you can beat those you get 10 points.

why are more and more people rude and or stupid these days? are there people out there that realize this? maybe i am just old fashioned but what ever happened to please and thank you? and why must people think that the person behind the counter should be yelled at? after all they are just employees and do not make the policies. everyone should work with the public just once to see what it is like... maybe then we would not have so many darn jerks!!tell me what you think!
