Etiquette - August 2006

Long story short, neighbor is a drunk, gets disability so his rent/util/everything is paid by government, fights with his wife, and does not speak English. Have had many situations arise w/ him, involving insulting me and screaming at me when he's drunk...landlord still hasn't booted him. Now he's being a lot nicer, since cops became involved, but keeps asking me for money when I come in or leave the house. Lately, knocking on my door, but I don't answer. Boyfriend feels bad for him, and pities him. BF speaks Spanish and won't tell him to leave me alone. So problem not solved. Still plays his music loud during the day and basically I just don't like being around him. Feel uncomfortable, that doesn't suffice to complain about him to Landlord or have him kicked out.

When asked by a male coworker how was my weekend, I admitted that it was lousy because I was in a lot of pain from cramps. Should I have just 'fine' and skipped that info?

My neighbor is a big gossiper, I do not like gossip and do not and will not participate in. I respect my nieghbors and mind my own bussiness. I realize when people get off of work they want their own space. I bought a little convertable (classic 1976) and parked it in the driveway in my space. I was driving my other vehicle to work. When I got home she and her man friend had pushed my car over into the grass. They taken it out of gear and push it to another place. We both have plenty of parking and I do not park in someone elses space. What should I do. Is it illeagal to enter a car that does not belong to you and move it. I am not happy about this.

I was on the train in Los Angeles, it was packed, and an older, I’d say a middle aged woman, walks in. There are no seats. A young man, from his accent he sounds like a southerner, gets up and offers her his seat. She then goes on to yell at him about gender equality (practically screaming); everyone in the train was looking at them. The poor guy just went back to his seat looking surprised. Any way, maybe she was just having a bad day, but I think a simple no thank you would have sufficed, how about you.

I would feel bad to go out with my friends and celebrate when so many people dont have a place to live and no friends or family to have the opportunity celebrate with. What should i do? I feel really uneasy about it. Last year I was at the cheesecake factory stuffing my face with food when the storm happened. I still feel bad about that.

How about things like ...

"Hey be glad it's not you.
Did he leave you anything
What was he really like?
Do you wanna eat after the funeral?
How come nobody cried?
He looked so natural
Why all the Bond-O and Pancake
He's in a better place...maybe.

Good stuff like that!

What are some of your favorites?

We see this happening in schools all the time and in day to day lives - teaching kids to share. If everyone shared, practiced what they preached, the world will not have starvation and poverty. Don't you think?

When you say ASAP do you spell ASAP like A-S-A-P or do you just say it like A-SAP, like in a regular face-to-face conversation?.

Would you think it would be in your best interests, because, for example, it is a safety issue? If you got along with the person, would it matter?

i see that a lot! In public. At restaurants or stores. Is it bad for them to do that, instead of saying "you're welcome"?

Ok i wanna know the etiquette when listening to headphones, and someone decides that they wanna talk to you. Do you take the headphones off your head, so you can listen to the person talk? Do you tell them, "I'm busy. Talk to me later"? Is it really rude to not talk to someone, if you wanna listen to music? What if it's a person who just wants to ask you a question like, "How are you today?" I know it would be better to talk to a person if they are having a real emergency, or crying, or whatever, especially if they are your friend. If someone just wants to make small talk and asks you something, or tries to talk to you and you can't hear them because your headphones are on, do you just ignore them and keep listening to your music, or do you pull them off your head and say, "what?" I had someone disassociate with me forever, because he said that it was uncool to do that to him. Another friend decided to do that a lot, and he knew it ticked me off. He still did it!

I plan to travel to celebrate my birthday with my close friends whom are all out of town. However, I want to let them know in advance that I want to have a dinner celebration at a certain restaurant, which I also plan to call in advance and see if they can possibly give us a private room or a reservation for the night. However, I would like for each guest to pay for his/her own dinner, since we are all college students. In the past year when I went to visit, because not everyone knew about the plans, not everyone could celebrate with me. Also, whenever we all go out for other people's birthdays (whenever I was still living there), we just told one another, and it was implied. What would be the proper way to let everyone know that this is what I would like to do for my birthday without seeming pushy or cheap, since I'm having to plan this somewhat in advance?

I understand that most cannot help if they have funky feet, but I cannot stand to see dirty feet, feet hanging off the edges of shoes, scaly feet, etc. I guess we all have something that kind of rattles our internal gross meter. And GOSH!!! Get your feet off of the dashboard!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually have nice feet, but I still cannot stand them. Maybe I should go and see a feet counselor. hehehehe
