Etiquette - July 2006

Well, my dad wanted a pic of me w/ my grandma's tombstone, but I declined, because it just didn't feel right. His reasoning for the pics was that he said that you should treat the deceased just like they're still alive.

Recently I found a printout with a facebook user's username and password. I logged in as them to see if it was legit, and lo and behold, it was. So how can I tell this guy that he seriously needs to change his password without revealing who I am, since I wouldn't believe my story if someone else told it to me? I'd rather not get in trouble for doing the right thing here.

I have been lumbered into having lunch with my friends mum. The problem is that her family are quite well off, and enjoy living the high life. My family are comfortable and dont care about social ettiquete and stuff like that. but i really want to impress her mum, what is the procedure?
For example, should I bring a gift- and what?(she doesnt drink alcohol or eat chocs).
What type of conversations should I raise?
How might I appear charming?
Is there anything else that i need to know?
I am very comfortable within my own skin but like I said it is important that her mum leaves with a good impression of me, as she said she would invest some money into my partner's business.
I need this to go really well- please only serious answers only.
Thank you.

I'm a 23 year old wanting to know how I can get an older women to be interested in me. I think she already finds me attractive but is reluctant to show her interest because of our age difference. I think she is in her late 30s or early 40s. I find her very attractive and want to know how I can approach her without making her feel uncomfortable. Please help.

It is the exact design but the color is a light pumpkin color. I'm not sure if I should wear it or not because of its long length. I think that it is too long to wear to a Medical School graduation. What does everyone else think?

Why do CERTAIN people lay in the sun knowing good and well that it can be very harmful to your skin? Do they really wanna look black? I just never understood this.

An Arguement, or debate, usually consists, of points and their evaluations being shifted back and forth between two people.

Now if its a touchy subject, which most important arguements are, doubt anyone can, really, seriously, get angry over which VCR may be better than the other, but who knows.

Show me some examples, to you, that defines when someone has ceased, evaluating points and giving their own, to insults, gay jokes, and "I can't understand what you're talking about" - the latter being odd, as this is usually said frequently, -after-, much heated debate, that would require them to understand in the first place. You know?

So put off some phrases you can recall like, "Are you retarded?" "Dumb" "Wtf!" "Lmao"! or feinting to not understand what you're saying anymore after about 10 something posts of prior, sensible arguement.

So if you can recall anything people do, say, or even better word from word, I'll really appreciate what you got to say..

Really.

I was at a restaurant and on different occasions the item (bread) I ordered was dry and I told them nicely and they refunded my money. Now they say I cannot return because they say they cannot make me happy when I told them nicely that they can . One person said that I asked for a refund twice from her and once from someone else. The total was $3.75 when I spend at least a hundred dollars if not more. The customer is right and I was professional about it. I gave good comments to the restaurant.

The customer service person did not return my call and the restaurant said they can refuse service to anyone. I appologized nicely to everyone even if I did not cause them any loss.

Any advice? I love this place and they have a nice atmosphere I told them I reccommend this place to friends and family. I am willing to pay them and the won't accept anything.

Also they said I returned thngs at other restaurants when I did not the soda machine broke(not my fault) and they refunded my money.

Basically, my family, my cousin's familes, my grandparents, my aunt, and three of my friends families signed up together to go on a cruise to Alaska. My cousin's dad got sick, so their family is not going. One of my friend's family isn't going, and my grandparents aren't, too. But my aunt and her husband and my two other friend's families are going. Should I go?

I am just curious.

How do Caucasion women feel about Chinese men? I mean the modern, yuppy kind? I also mean Chinese from all over the world ano not just China. What kind of impression do you have on them? Do you think they are okay or do you despise them?

A good friend of mine died Friday night in a horrible car accident. Her favorite flower was a red rose. Would it be appropriate for me to take a single long stem red rose to her viewing tomorrow afternoon and palce it on her casket? Do people do that? I have been to very few viewings and funerals.

It seems to me that the level of respect we show each other has declined sharply since I was a kid (and I am only 25!).

I watch TV shows and kids are calling their parents and other adults terrible things. People no longer say please and thankyou to strangers and are even worse to the people they know. When people bump in to you they don't say sorry anymore.

Do you think that we have become less respectful, and do you think that this has contributed to many of our societal problems?

It doesn't matter if I am one of not, but I cannot stand it when someone asks. If I respond with "I'm not telling you," or "That's kind of private..." most people think I am a virgin and I am trying to make some lame attempt to make them think I want them to wonder. It usually backfires.
I've also tried telling them straight up "no" or "yes", just to see if they'll stop. It doesn't work. If you tell them you are a virgin, they'll ask why I don't want to have sex, why girls don't like me, and stuff. If I tell them I am not a virgin, they ask me to go into explicit explanations of my sexual ventures. I don't even see how discussing virginity is appropriate in any situation-- even with some of your good friends. I find it especially awkward when it is a girl asking me. I just feel a little violated.
I know some people who would post their virginity status on a billboard if they could, but not me.
What's a good response for the "Are you a virgin?" question?
Thanks for your input, guys

Our office only have 2 toilet cubicles. It's very obvious who just did their toilet business if there are people queueing outside. It's embarassing... what's the best foolproof idea to mask off our poo smell after our toilet business? I don't think perfume works... it'll worsen the smell.
