Etiquette - July 2006

Have you ever had a problem with neighbors in an apartment complex dealing with noise levels? Well I’m having a problem, my neighbors just moved in above me, I was trying to watch a movie at 10:30pm (I didn’t have it loud, but I didn’t have it quiet either), they began knocking on their floor (my ceiling), they knocked so hard it made my ceiling shake and almost made my ceiling fan fall down! I went upstairs to see what their problem was; they said they could hear my base. I told them I was watching a movie & it wasn’t up that loud & they had a choice to live in a Town House instead of the Apartment model in our complex, if noise was a concern for them.
Are my upstairs neighbors crazy?
The neighbors beside me have NEVER complained so why now the top ones do?!
I think the guy has a temper issue, the lady seems normal. They act like they don’t know how to come & knock on my door like NORMAL people or call the cops or something, NO, they go crazy hitting their floor supper hard! ARE they Crazy?

I realized that I may come off as a snob to people, because I avoid making eye contact and walk past people pretending there not there. The truth is that I'm afraid to even say hi because they I think that they might reject. I don't want to be like that anymore because I seem really rude and would like to be friendlier! Any advice?

How can I deal with a boss and coworker that constantly farts (smelly ones), belches, scratches himself, eats with his hands etc., which he by the way does not wash after using the bathroom. I can hear the plumbing from my office. The toilet flushes, but the water is not used.

Has lots of good qualities, but I just snapped a minute ago - almost barfed from the no-warning, no-apology fart of the century.

Sickening.

I attend college at a community college and I'm currently taking summer classes. Often, I like to grab some lunch at the college's cafetera. Problem is it is only open from 7am-1pm M-F. And, this college offers late afternoon classes and night classes that can go to 10:00pm at night. The college offers classes for two months. I like to do some work before my class begins in the libary and it annoys me when I have to rush in order to grab lunch. Yesterday, I went there and ordered a sandwich with no tomatoes or olives. However, I asked for everything else they offer for their sandwiches. Like usually have peppercinis, jaleponos, green or red peppers. These are vegetables they usually offer you on sandwiches during the fall and spring semesters. When I asked for everything else except tomatos and olives. They only had lettuce, and pickles to give out on my sandwich. I could not eat it all because the bread tasted stale.

You know when you've just got up, but you're not really awake and you think you know what you're doing, but you don't have a damn clue... that's what I wanna know about.

Here's an example: I once brushed my teeth with my gran's tooth brush - the one she uses for her false teeth, and wondered why it felt so ... different!

Why do or say something that intentionally hurts another human being? Just because you are online and faceless, doesn't make the pain any less. It doesn't make it any less cruel. So, why?

I imagine that it wouldn't be difficult to catch on fire with all of the cigarettes people go through, and it's better to be safe than sorry. I'm just trying to be a model citizen.

I really like the furniture she has out on her balcony! I like it so much that when I switch it, I'd even let her keep the cushions on mine!

Our apartments are right next to each other; so, she wouldn't think that the furniture is from some weirdo if she recognizes my furniture...she would know that I decided to switch with her because she would also recognize her furniture on my balcony.

What if it's not raining out?

What if the umbrella has a hideous leopard print design?

I belong to a gym where I'm paying about $25.00 a month. I like to use their big lap pool which is indoors and it also has a jacuzzi near the swimming pool. Problem, is I have been going in the pool in the early afternoon or late afternoon. I usually go to the gym at 12-3pm in the afternoon. During this time, there is always a man cleaning the pool and putting chemicals in the jacuzzi. He cleans the pool with a big net while people are swimming in this pool or doing laps. The pool has three spots where people can do laps so, it is relatively big swimming pool. And, then, the man also puts chemicals in the jacuzzi usually while people are in. I do not go in the jacuzzi when he does this because it could be dangerous and I do not want to get ill. I realize they have to clean their pool and jacuzzi on a daily basis. But, is it unacceptable for them to be cleaning it in the afternoon while people are using it? Or, do most gyms do this and it is common nowadays?

What is an appropriate gift to give for a baptism? It's for my 1 year old nephew. I am not involved in the baptism as a godparent or anything. If money is an appropriate gift, how much to give? Thanks!

...let him get it for you, say "Thank you," and Purell (sanitize) it later, or do you scream, "That's mine! Mine! Don't touch it!?"

I don't want to use my Purell unless I really have to.

The neighbors have 3 parking spots behind their house, which they have filled with all sorts of junk and usually park illegally in the alley. As their junk has grown, their cars have inched in front of other driveways. Now it is completey blocking my visitor spot. I spoke with them when it first happened and assumed they would move it immediately. But nothing. I called security and nothing. They are friends with my landlord, so I don't want to get into a big tiff.

If a black is too light, is it ok to ask about their race? Does a black get offended when confused with a mexican or indian? If by doing so I just put a shoe in my mouth, how do I fix it?

Certain people at my work (urban) ask for free stuff, and I give it to them with no fuss. I feel like I "owe" them, and my co-workers say I am falling for nbs. What should I do?

When I was on the tram the other day I saw a ladt get on the tram who looked about 60. I asked her if she would like to sit down. She started to have a go at me really loudly so that everyone on the tram could hear. She eventually took the seat but proceded to make comments every few minutes and I was given evils by every person on the tram.
Children are told to be respectful and polite to adults. But how am I and everyone else meant to do that if were scared that we'll get abuse shouted at us by people!?

A short while ago I asked a question that tetered on adult content. I made sure when I asked the question that it did not contain any refference to sex and prefaced it so that the question did not go in the wrong direction. Apparently my curiosity infringed upon the TOS and my question was deleted and I received a warning. I can see how sometimes these things can just be a matter of how it is viewed, but I get upset when I see some of the content that remains on here, and I get reported.

Oh...I also had a very good question about voice acting that has been removed. I was never even notified about that one, and have no clue as to why it was.

OK, I think to meet the right person you need to know about them. I love having fun and goofing off and don't like a girl that is too serious. Can I get some feedback on these things?
1) I feel like all women deserve to have, the door opened, the chair pulled out, the offer to have the meal paid for....and other similar things....is this too old fashioned?
2) I think it is okay to compliment a girl on her body and her looks and also (after dating a while) tell a joke that is a compliment about thier nice features (no matter what they are) as long as she is comfortable with that. Is that wrong?
4) I enjoy dancing with a girl at a club and only want to date a girl that can let loose and shake it a little. Would you say that is fair?
5)Even though I am just 18, but my pay, my car, and clothes are really nice (computer job), but I don't want her to brag about them or like me just for those things. Is that fair of me?

So I'd love to know if there is any girl out there like me.
