Etiquette - June 2006

Most assuredly I understand that when receiving a gift for your birthday a Thank You card is in order. But what about when co-workers all sign a separate Birthday Card with their wishes and no gift is attached? Would I need to put a Thank You card up on the Bulletin Board to say Thank you for signing my Birthday Card? I'm not sure about what is proper in this case.

why do we assume as adults that we can act like children when answering quiestions posed by children, or adults? why when a question is asked are there 4-30 answers that have rude comments, name calling, and childish behavior? must we all be of 15 years old? can't we grow up?

At different times, your girlfriend and your MALE best friend asked you if they could TICKLE the SOLES of your BAREFEET, would you let them? Would you just let one of them? Neither of them?

Would you be reluctant, or would you take off your shoes and socks and tell them to go for it?

Why would it be different if your girlfriend asked then if your best friend asked?

How old are you? Do you have any experiences you want to share?

Thanks for your input!

I ask because three of us took a lift with a guy we know, but not well, and one person hogged the best seat both going there & coming back. Two of us would always swap over and offer the seat to others on the way back (2-hr trip). My neighbour says no way, she'd make a point of getting the good seat again. So now we are wondering were they rude to hop in front again, or not? Doesn't everyone switch around? Or not? LOL, the hogger was someone the driver didn't want to give a lift to anyway1

I believe in honesty but I also need to find a job. Could you add a year to your work experience? If you've not been working for a year due to illness should you mention that or try to "fill out the blanks"? If you mention it do you have to say which illness - mine's depression? I know employers should be fair-minded, but if it was me I'd choose the one with the most work experience and with no history of illness if there was someone equally qualified.

My gash, I've offended my sister by not inviting my niece who is 21 to the rehearsal dinner.... she is not in the wedding, however will be showing people their seats at the reception. My sis and I are very different, and I think that she's viewing this rehearsal dinner as a social event. Bottom line; we certainly didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but we may have. Should we have invited her, even tho there was no rehearsing for her to do at the church? My sister has been very adimate about this not being the proper etiquette....The wedding is next week; probably too late to fix this! ps... Her son (my nephew) is an usher, and he is invited (she's advised him not to come now, putting plans to attend another wedding ahead of this, so it's definitely not a good situation).... HELP!

And they're not those support socks, either. I can tell the difference. They're regular cotton ones. Can they not stand the bunching? Was that fashionable in their day?

What attire is okay for men and women, considering that it happens in August?

Just because someone doesn't have a degree in english has no reflection on their intelligence. I agree, that some of it is pretty bad out there. But instead of calling them on it........... why not just answer the question?? A lot of people due to circumstances did not have the oppertunity to futher their education. Hell I make more money than most of you college grads anyway.

Don't they have cable tv?? Isn't talking about celebrities more interesting than talking about a co-worker or neighbor?

I think so. I think since gays emerged in the society many straight men are not as nice to each other, they won't smile at each other as much or pay compliment simply because they are afraid someone will think they are gay. What do you think?

Hey, it happens. Breasts are there, whether men look or not.

let's try to focus on a college setting, where everyone is youthful.

I'm curious how women deal with it on a daily basis.

I work for the government and have just been promoted to a new position within my agency. I now have entirely new duties that I will have to be trained for, a new boss, and most of my coworkers work in a different building, however for the time being I am staying where I am. My old building was super casual. I wear jeans and polo shirts 5 days a week. The people who work across the street at my new job wear button up shirts, polo shirts and the women wear pants suits and dresses. A couple of guys (including the boss) had on ties. I of course am going to lose the jeans and my new boss said what I had on was otherwise fine and I shouldn't have to change to months. I am thinking of wearing a button up shirt and a tie a few days a week though. I feel more professional doing that, but I'm afraid if I do it right at the start it will be viewed as brown nosing. Also anytime I have worn a tie in my old building I felt horribly out of place, due to everyone else being so casual.

i moved into an apartment that the old tenant left off the lease and left her things behind. so i moved out of the dirty apartment this week and i took her matress with me because she left it. she still stays friends with the guy who lives there and has been moving things for the past 2 months. she knew i was using her matress and got all pissed off. you would think she would have taken it with the rest of her bed. now she's taking more things but i moved the matress with me and she's calling the cops to come get me. is the matress fair game because she left it or do i give it back???
