Etiquette - July 2006

I was told the polite way is to scoop it from the back of the plate and sip it from the side of the spoon. Obviously no slurping sounds allowed. Is this 'correct'?

My friend has greasy thin hair. I know she washes it because I was at her house a couple of times and told me she was going to wash her hair in the sink. Anyhow, everytime I hang out with her she scatches her head and dandruff fall out. She does this every time we hang out. I think it is very gross and annoying. However, if she really needs to scratch her head she can do in the restroom or something. Do you think I'm going overboard with this issue?
How can I stop my friend from doing this gross habit?

I do it all the time. No one has complained before. Sometimes they say sure, sometimes they laugh, sometimes they say no.

I am confused. What did I do wrong. (I am not a supervisor or anything just to be clear).

Just for a little bit of background on me, I'm 23 and I didn't attend regular school when I was younger as most young people did. Instead my parents hired teachers /private tutors who taught me and my siblings every day. So outside of some science classes and drivers ed in High School, I never actually attended regular school to get socially adapted to the rest of society. Once I got to college I made friends reasonably easily but people say I am very cold and direct in my approach in talking to and dealing with people. It's something I'd like to change but I'm not particularly certain where to begin. I'm now done with college (and have been for a year) and am just trying to better communicate with people in general.

Our next door neighbour - an apartment, not a seperate house - is a techno fan. Last weekend, from Friday night to 5:30 Monday morning all we could hear was the constant doof doof doof of his "repetitive beats".
(Now bear in mind we are in Australia where the culture frowns heavily on criticising or complaining.)
Has anyone had to contend with such neighbours themselves, and how did they resolve it peacefully?

For the past 10 years of my life, I was going to be a member of the fascinating, incredible world of journalism. It didn't matter-- writer, author, reporter, journalist-- something like that. I'm very, very talented at writing and I have focused everything that I have done in life to cater to my ability. I've been looking at those crazy, liberal arts colleges, putting all of my effort into managing my high school's newspaper, writing my college essays six months in advance-- all of that.
Unfortunatley, the more I think about it, the less sure I am that I am on the writing path when it comes to my future career.
I have developed another interest, one that interests me equally, possibly even more so-- medicine and health. I kind of want to explore the option of being a doctor. I'm not sure what kind of doctor, but definitley a doctor-- but I'm afraid to enroll in medicial school just yet.
I told my parents about it, and they kind of laughed it off. How do I tell them I'm serious?

I leant my friend $550 when we went on a work function together. Since then I have been asking her for it, but she has had some hard times, she broke up with her boyfriend and had to get her own place, and other things. At one point she told me she interofficed it to me (she works in a different branch of the company) but it never showed up. It's been 2 months and she was supposed to get it to me this Friday, but just left me a message that she had to talk to me about "something important" which I know is that she won't be paying me on Friday. I feel bad for her for her problems, and I don't want it to get in between us, but I need my money back! How can I do it without causing a big problem???

How long does it take before your best friend is being a jerk by avoiding you on the day of and after your birthday when they could call, write, send an email, hop in for coffee, et cetera - all with relative ease?
(OR, how long do you have to say 'happy birthday' to your best friend before you've missed your chance?)

Is anyone else sick of being out with their kids and disrespectful people cussing or discussing their sex lives within earshot? Such as at family restaurants or the grocery store parking lot?

There was this guy driving next to me today on my way to work. My co-worker (we carpool) rolled the window down and yelled "Why did you just eat your booger!" The she started to laugh hysterically. He just moved up and continued to pick his nose. Eww. Have you ever done that? Do you have a funny story about it?

I just received an invitation to the V.P.'s daughters wedding. I do not work directly with the VP and I do not know his daughter. I know I do not wish to attend. Would it be tacky to send money or would it be better to send a gift card or purchase a gift and have it delivered to the reception? I don't know where she is registered and since I don't know them at all I don't know what they may need. We will do something of course, but what is the best thing to do under the circumstances?

On a personal note: If you don't know the person then you really shouldn't invite them to your wedding; yes, I know it's become a free for all, get all the gifts/money you can but, I still think it puts the other person (recipient) in an awkward position.
