Etiquette - June 2006

. . . and then proceed to say something outrageously offensive? This doesn't happen all the time, but a lot of the time it does. (Ex. "No offense, but that outfit makes you look really ugly.") You could say instead, "No offense, but that shirt isn't very flattering to your figure. A scoop neck might look better on you." Or something like that, that's just an example.

Some people say you shouldn't wear any white, it is reserved for the bride. It will be hot outside and I'd like to wear sandals, a rose colored top and white peasant style skirt. Is this acceptable?

What gives people the right to but into the lives of a 21 year old guy dating a 50 year old guy? Can't they just leave the two of them alone and accept that?

How do people tell if you have a no shoes house? Do your visitors ask, do it automatically or do you have to tell them upfront?

We both want quick access. Since we can't agree, we thought we should follow "international standards" ... if there is one.

Why is it so difficult for people to apologize? Because of pride? Stubborn-ness? Opinions please!

My friend always leaves a poo stain on the toilet seat after he uses my toilet, would it be rude for me to ban him from using my bathroom? How would you handle that situation and what advice do you have for him?

Today this one girl Michele at work called me a "fat ugly toothless bittch that smells like rags". I'm only missing one tooth, and I don't really think I'm a bittch. Has anybody here been called anything worse?

I was driving through Amish land today when, out of the goodness of my heart, I honked and waved at ol' Jedediah coming at me in the opposite direction in his suped-up horse and buggy. (I think it had spinners on it). Then the whole family gives me the finger!! Even the 100+ year old matriarch flipped me off.

Isn't that against what the Amish stand for, besides well built furniture?
