Etiquette - August 2006

I sit in cubeville and an outside consultant comes in two days a week and sits in the cube next to me. The cube walls are not very high (you can see the other person's head if you look over).

The girl next to me, without fail, eats a piece of gum after lunch and proceeds to snap it, blow bubbles and chew loudly until it's time to leave at 4pm.

I don't want to come off as a *****. How do I politely tell her she is annoying the hell out of me? Do I say something? Do I email her? I am ready to take the gum and shove it down her throat....so any advice would be great. Thanks!

If someone wore a religious headscarf and believed they shouldn't show too much skin, would they be more offended if someone wore skimpy clothes or wore a vulgar headscarf because they wanted to look good and be "deep" and kept saying things like "wearing this is so cool, and good for my hair".

Especially when someone picks your answer, over someone else who is higher ranked than yourself?

Not the feeling of vanity coz you're smarter, but a good feeling that maybe you made a real difference to someone in need of an answer to their question thats been bothering them.

Sometimes, we're overwhelmed by our own concerns and obligatons, we can't think of the right solution. Even if is right under our nose. Someitmes, we just don't have the experience or wisdom to see something in a different perspective. There is the hope that there is someone out there who may have the answer to our question, and for a minute or two, they may take us seriously and give us a hella good answer.

It may just make their day, that feeling of relief and being able to go on with their lives - and sometimes, the answer is just so funny that it tops off the day on a good note, your troubles aren't as bad as you might of thought.


2pts... oh yeah,..... ha ha . . . ha . . . . . uh - huh .

I swear I have gone to the store 3 times in the past 2 days and have not been able to get any help! I was at the WM photo counter and had a question to ask, but the clerk, who obviosly seen me standing there, didn't even acknowledge me so I walked off! I walked into WM where you have pictures made (professionally) and wanted to make an appt, the photographer was with a customer and never even looked up, now I understand she was busy, but she could have said, hey I see you there and I'll be with you shortly and then I could have just asked for the phone number and made an appt via phone, but she didn't. I was at the grocery store and wanted to order a cake for my son's 1st birthday, I was looking through the book and waiting for the clerk to approach me after another clerk told her I what I needed, but you guessed it, I got NO help, so I left. Now I ask you, am I invisible?!

I've picked up this horrible habit of swearing. It has become really addictive. I never used to swear unless I was really angry. Now I swear when I trip on something, when playing tennis, and even just by having a normal conversation with a really cool somebody.

Please help me stop!

Hey! If you start swearing here I swear I'll report you. You've been warned!

Reading some of your questions and answers I’ve noticed a lot of racist comments (e. g. the question on Poland today) Many of you people spend your holidays abroad. You love coming to Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Portugal, etc. but at the same time you use such degrading vocabulary for non-British people (not only in this forum also in your newspapers! – e. g. The Sun). How come? What is your problem?

How is it that one can be hard working, polite, willing to work in a team, take good care of the customer and not be hired? And how is it that offensive, rude people can succeed so well?
I just spoke to the rudest, most up-her-own-behind cow, for some
CV-consultancy.co.uk and she was downright offensive, yet she has managed to have her own business! What gives?!?

I was just reported for answering the "Survivor" question with "sleep with one of the producers". I'll admit, it wasn't in the best of taste, but I didn't think it was offensive. We've all read the horrible and tasteless postings before. How "rude" do you think a question or answer has to be, before it is deemed inappropriate???
