Etiquette - July 2006

It was a legitimate question. If they can get back suspected terrorist funds that've been laundered thirty times, why is my 401K money still in my CFO's bank account? Corning pulled an Enron on 100,000 employees a few months before Enron.

The only response I got was from some joker. Yahoo is prompting me (in red) to choose a best answer. I'll croak or be banished before I reward a troll attack with ten points for "Best Answer." Help, please? I always try very hard to provide good, helpful answers. Even if I disagree with a questioner, I show respect in my response. Karma, please?

I am always reluctant to offer help with a door, carrying bags, etc. unless I see someone obviously struggling.

I'd be happy to help, but my thought is that they want to be independent and don't want people asking them if they need help all of the time.

All opinions welcome.

Many of you go to a lot of work to look good. Why do you act pissed off if the guy who doesn't look like Brad Pitt looks at you and smiles? I'm not talking about rude guys, just the average joe who can appreciate your effort?

What is your biggest pet peeve? Mine is people who interrupt you when you are talking among others! What are yours?

One thing that I cannot stand is how some people who wear those earpiece cell phone attachments annoy me simply because they walk around talking and you are never sure if they are talking to you or the person on the phone. On one hand you don't want to be rude and ignore them because you think that they are on the phone but at the same time it gets to be annoying to allow your mindset to be interrupted every 3 to 4 minutes simply because you think they are talking to you.

I am originally from Italy and will get married June 2007 in my hometown in Northern Italy. Since my hubby is from Ohio, we decided to have one ceremony with reception white dress and all in Italy and another reception (but no ceremony) in Ohio. Do you think it's appropriate if I wear my white dress at the reception in Ohio?
Thanks

Or is it less okay to joke about one more than the other?

I think that with comedy, anything goes. I'm not necessarily going to laugh at every joke and enjoy it, but I won't say "Haha, a joke against Jesus, but no, you can't joke about the holocaust, cause I'm Jewish!".

I don't believe in censorship, double standards, or being hypocritical.

be completely honest cuz nobodys judging you here but as an asian girl who does not consider herself to be butt ugly, i still find that the blonde girl in front of me is getting a lot more chances than i am. personally i dont think it's cuz she has a better personality than me, i think its cuz shes more associated with hollywood and beauty than i am. what do you say?

.What is the deal with rude people who play their music to loud? These for instance want to cram down your throat (or your ears) their rediculous, loud, and obnoxious music. Your ears can only except so much, and on that note, they expose their children to early ear problems, No wonder they go huh in the classroom, they are deaf from their parents stupidity. They also live around you and expect you to not be po'd when your windows are rattling, your floors are shaking from their loud music. What do you do, call the police, turn them in, and wake up with your tires slit, and your car vandilized? I don't blare my Brooks and Dunn down their throat! I just want to co-habitate and live my everyday life, with no trouble. Please tell me what to do, before i have to call the police.

We went to a restaurant last night, the waitress who served us was pleasant and helpful, our dinner was lovely and warm, but the other girl who came and gave us the bill was a bit 'huffy', she didn't seem to like us and didn't say anything, just chucked the bill on the table and went, when she came back with the change she wasn't friendly at all either. I'm now concerned, would the waitress get to keep the tip herself, or would the huffy other one get some of the tip too? Could someone please tell me the etiquette in these circumstances? Thank you. :)

When on public transport, or when stood in a queue, it really grates on me that their label is sticking up on their neck. Would you/should you tell them? Not everyone wants to know the washing instructions or the size of the person.

As a courtesy, at the gym where I exercise, you're supposed to clean off the machines you have just used so that other people don't have to deal with your sweat. There are spray bottles of cleaner and towels all over the place.
Today, there was a lady on a treadmil near mine, and when she finished she just got off it, and went to another piece of equipment without cleaning it off. It was so gross--I could see her sweaty handprints all over it! Yuck! She didn't clean off the second piece of equipment she used, either.
I wanted to say something to her, but I didn't know what, and I didn't know if I should. It just grosses me out. There have been times when I have gotten onto a treadmill that was still dirty, and it's disgusting.
What could I politely say the next time I see somebody use equipment but not clean it?
BTW, nobody came along to use her abandonded treadmill, so when I got done I cleaned it.

We were taught to hold our hand over our heart, same as when you say the pledge of allegiance. I noticed most people don't do this but have thier hands at their sides. Both look respectfull but which is actually correct
