Etiquette - August 2006

I'm a 14 year old boy, but everyone says I'm younger than 12. I am very shy, fat (I mean not very fat but not thin either). Everyone in my classroom thinks I am weird. When I try to do something to look good I look even dumber than before. I have no friends. Nobody likes me. What should I do?

People are getting ruder and less courteous. Is this a national trend? What are the reasons for this? Will it get better or worse?

Do you think you're rude?

comments?

Or maybe e-mail back a picture of a vase or a toaster.

Or pantyhose? I have heard from a few women that they got this request from men that lived out of state from them and they did send them some. Does the thought turn any of you women on? Maybe sending them with your perfume on them. Is it intriguing knowing you've never met this person or is this something that is a turn off to you?

The most inconsiderate thing to do is to bring children in flights! I am sick and tired of toddlers CRYING their eyes out and bawling when i am trying to take a nap along with 300 other people. The constant fighting and getting up makes the trip very unpleasant, not to mention the running down the isles, playing in the lavatories and elbowing everyone sitting on either extreme.

PLEASE, if you have children drive to your destination. It'll be cheaper for you and you will make our flights more pleasant and get our money's worth. Children must be banned from airports!!

I was surprised that someone was offended by the phrase "it was screwed up" - they took it as if I had used the four-letter "F" word. (If you don't know what that is, please don't answer this question.)

This was a customer service agent, who objected to the language, did not want to write it down the way I said it.
It made me wonder how many people feel the same way.

So the question is: if you are offended by the "F" word, would you be offended by the phrase "it was screwed up"?

I would like to take the hostess a gift - would like your thoughts on what is appropriate, please?

The dinner party is being given by an ex-colleague of mine and her husband. She has invited my boyfriend (they work together) and suggested he might like to bring me, but hasn't contacted me direct, and I think I might have offended her slightly. I would like to make amends.

The dinner party is quite important for my boyfriend as his boss will be there, the hostess is a well educated middle class English lady aged 50.

Should he take wine and would it be appropriate for me to take a gift such as flowers?

I'mm also feeling anxious about what to wear...any helpful suggestions please?!

Ok i got quite many responses to my question above, thanks for the contribution; but one thing that i STILL don't understand is, why when men see beautiful girls, some or most of them have to say something to her, sometimes nasty sometimes provocative, sometimes scary, (especially more if they are with a group of friends)? Ok us girls we do look if there are good looking men too, but all we do is look at least, we don't say nasty things or try to be funny.....

Am I supposed to invite gals I invite to my bachelorette party also to my bridal shower?Or make it 2 different lists? My concern is I don't want anyone feeling like they have to get 2 different gifts. One of my friends is telling me anyone you invite to your bachelorette party should also have been invited to a shower previously. But that just feels wrong for them to feel they have to get 2 gifts. I guess I'm just wanting to be sensitive to their finances.

My husband's Grandfather is very ill and is not expected to make it through the day. The family told everyone to just go about their day as usual they'd keep us posted. Well, I get to work and tell the only other person that works in my office what was going on. She said that if anything happened she'd cover for me, but that she had to make a quick run maybe 15 minutes. Well she just called me and said that's she was actually going somewhere over an hour away, but to call her if anything happened. Do I have the right to be upset with her or am I just letting my emotions take over?

When a girl walk by them, the first thing they notice, their butt, then after, you know what, why are ALL men having only 1 thing on their mind ? Is any men making any effort at all not to be so visualistic ? Is it a struggle for them, or its more a norm now?

OK. Maybe I am being petty here. I live on the outskirts of town. Town size approx 70,000. I do not live in a subdivision, but have people next door on both sides. About an acre of land in between each of the houses. Across the street is a house as well. I have 3 small children (6 and under). One of the next door neighbors and the people across the street both mow their lawns until at least 9:30. Last night since they have a light on their mower they didn't finish until 10:30! I am trying to get my kids to bed by 8:30, but with all the noise, they do not understand why they need to go to bed. We moved here 2 years ago. It is just getting worse and worse. When I lived in a subdivision or growing up in town, noone ever thought of mowing past 8. Am I old fashioned? Are people just rude now of days? What do you think? What would you do?

I know alot of guys find it quite acceptable to both scratch and adjust there balls in public. But is there a time and a place for women to either scratch or adjust them selves in public with out being embarrased or frowned upon. If it isnt acceptable now, should it become more acceptable in a move to promote equality between genders?

I brew my own beer and I am taking a domestic flight from Knoxville, TN to Fort Luaderdale, FL and I want to take two pints for a friend to try out. I can find anything online to see if that's ok...all I can find is information about lighters and razors, etc...So is homebrew acceptable?
