Etiquette - August 2006

At a show biz party someone cut a line of coke and handed me a ten pound note. I politely declined and put the ten pound note in my purse. My friend Annie says I was wrong but I don't use drugs.

I asked what I should do about my neighbors who had lost their husband and father. I saw so many good answers of the 30+ that I just wasn't sure I could trust myself to choose the best answer, so I put it to a vote. And what did I (we -- all of us on Yahoo! Answers) get for the trouble? The vote chose an answer that said to shoot the rest of the family to put them out of their misery.

So, I put it to you now -- Would you mind if I promise never to put any more of my questions to a vote?

I will start by choosing the best answer of this question after the Yahoo! timer has dinged. Earn 10 points by giving a good answer. And I certainly won't choose an answer that suggests hurting anybody or anything, and I also won't put it to a vote..

The person who cuts in line has committed a malicious act, and I was looking for a way to effectively let him or her know that this is a very serious problem which needs to be dealt with immediately. I would be happy if I even stopped only one person from ever cutting in line again.

I know that I will likely lose my place in the line because I have left it, but I want to be a model citizen; I want to protect the others in line and give the evil person who cuts in line a reminder that cutting in line is very inappropriate behavior. Any advice or other techniques about dealing with this issue would be appreciated. Thank you!

The ideal girlfriend/wife I am looking for should be 2 years younger to 2 years older than me.

I heard it is forbidden for a male to ask about the weight of a female too. I don't care too much about this factor, but how would you go about finding out the weight of a girl or a woman without being rude?

I am meeting a girl that I once dated tonight for drinks. There is no chance of anything sexual happing as I have a girlfriend and she has a boyfriend. Should I tell my girlfriend that I am meeting her for a drink or just let her assume that I am meeting one of the guys out for a drink?

I told him that I was having severe back and stomach pain and that I went to see a doctor who prescribed me antibiotics. My therapist then asked me whether I had an yeast infection. I just thought that it was a way of directing the conversations into something like women's body issues. I was uncomfortable to discuss this. This was not the diagnosis, but I was wondering why he brought it up out of the blue. Back pain, stomach pain has nothing to do with yeast infection. Do you think he was wanting to gratify himself?

It seems that suddenly everywhere I go, people are constantly spitting. Men, women, and children all seem to think nothing of doing this in front of anyone else. Is it just me that finds it so gross and unsanitary? I wish I could come up with a short phrase that would make them realize how disgusting I think it is, but doesn't offend them. Any suggestions? Thanks

I recently found out that a very good friend of mine died 3 weeks ago, from his wife who sent out a mass e-mail from his account telling people "please delete him from your contacts as he is no longer with us"...is this too cold and impersonal, or am I just annoyed that I didn't know for over three weeks (couldn't send a card, flowers, et.)?
