Etiquette - August 2006

As in brand (Marlboro, Camel, etc); type (menthol, light, red, etc); size (wide, 72, 100, etc). What's the CLASSIEST?

And PLEASE, serious answers only, if you just want to tell me that "dying isn't classy" and that cigarettes will kill me, don't waste your time, I've already heard it enough.

She comes over & stays HOURS. She’s critical of my kids & has started "correcting" them. Her own daughter is an absolute terror. She's 13 & throws tantrums like she's 2 & screams at her mother but she says my kids are bad. Mine are diagnosed ADHD. You can barely walk (no exaggeration) through their house it’s so bad but when my kids had a few things on the floor, she said their rooms were "dirty" & her daughter was "just unorganized," even though the girl has dog feces in her room because she refuses 2 clean. The neighbors car broke down months ago & she depends on me 2 take her everywhere but never offers any $ 4 gas. Usually, she just wants 2 ride when I go. She has the $ to fix her car. I mentioned my boys won’t wear certain types of shirts & she said I should tell them 2 wear it or else. Not 5 minutes later she was laughing about how her girl has stuff with tags still on she refuses 2 wear, bragging, “nothing but the best 4 my baby.” I think she sees my kids as beneath them. Help!

Ok I have to give some background on this question its not about wife beating.
I’m in china and was held prisoner by a knife wielding ex-girl friend in my flat for over an hour and refused to let me leave nor was I able to call the police. In the end fearing my safety I (and hers as she had started cutting herself with it) I had to disarm her and throw her to the floor to escape from the place.

When ordering take-out from a restaurant where you would tip if eating in person, what is the etiquette for tipping? I usually give a couple bucks if the server had to go outside to the car and a buck if someone just had to hand me the food. Too much, too little?

And once this girl told me she doesn't like shy guys. Does that mean I should just kiss a girl as soon as possible?

There are approx 12 of us who used to meet weekly for meetings. A couple that attended the meetings are getting married and only invited a few of us to the wedding. Would it be appropriate for me to invite a friend that attended the meeting but wasn't invited to the wedding? My invitation included for me to invite a guest. This friend has known the couple longer than I have but I have spent more time with the couple outside of the meetings.

I'm 25 now and I'm beginning to feel like I'm over her and maybe it's time to move on.

Obviously I haven't dated since I was in 3rd grade, so what are the current dating "dos" and "donts?"

I'd like to know any tips to help me restrain myself during an important meeting/discussion and stuff. Sometimes when my peers do something silly or rediculous, I can't help but laugh...

In the following week, my car was washed, my lawn was mowed (twice), my leaves were raked, my hedge was trimmed, the broken window in my garage was replaced, and the fence I was meaning to build around my yard appeared - and I have no idea who did it.

Am I a bad person?

My boyfriend always hogs the remote so to make sure he wouldnt have control anymore I inserted it into my rectal cavity and then to make it extra hard to reach I shoved a potato gun up there after it. Now it is starting to hurt. How can I get both out?

Friday my friend was over an hour late to her own son's birthday party. Saturday she was an hour late meeting me and my daughter for a playdate. She apolgizes each time (it's happened a few times before) and her excuse is "people with kids can't be on time." I have a toddler and I'm generally on time.

How can I deal with her? I can't force her to get her act together.

I have a advice column (not this site) and sometimes ppl ask me questions, that I need to further research as I do not know everything lol. Anyways, Sometime I'll quote something from that website. Should I give props to the website at the bottom of my answer since I got a line or two off of there page? Do I have to? Or is it just the right thing to do?

Have you ever been a customer and witnessed someone being really rude and condescending to a customer service worker and yelled at them for being rude? If so, what happened?

Why display manners at all as far as Left Wing Liberals are concerned we can all just urinate and defecate where we please...after-all they do in Calcutta!

Why worry what others think about, for example, passing gas (farting) at operas, during sermons, at funerals and Birthday parties "better out than in" 'Dr' Howard Dean, always says!

Manners? It would be highly impolite to wear clothes in some cultures or sit crossed legged in others or eat peas with a knife, getting them all lined up wow that's a really challenge! I know I

The guy has a missing hand which has been replaced with a hook. He's able to get all of his groceries out of his cart and onto the conveyor belt just fine with his one good hand, but he's a bit slow due his handicap and you're in a hurry to get home. You think that he might get done twice as fast if you offer to help him out.

What would you do? Do you help him out so the both of you can be on your way more quickly, or do you let him be and let him persevere on his own?
