Etiquette - August 2006

I went shopping today. Well in this cramped aisle in the shoe store these two rather large and beefy teenage boys kept passing me. They were both very polite however they had some mild to moderate B.O. going on.

I could have dealt with that but then their dad takes his shoes off (no socks) and this dude's feet smelled like DEAD FISH!!!!

Should smelly people be forced to buy shoes via the Internet???

They speak in code (or something)...They don't seem to know when to use words that sound alike.....hear/here...
do/due...
their/there.....
to/too/two....
bare/bear.....
no/know......
scent/cent...
sense/since/cents....
read/reed...etc. etc.

(Fifty cents...is not supposed to be fifty cent).

It reminds me of trying to read letters from (my)grandparents and great grandparents...(they didn't have much book-learnin'....so they would attempt to sound out their words......made for some very interesting reading.....no excuse for todays kids.)

Some of them never learned any manners ...especially when they are interacting with the general public...(cashiers...they don't know when to say Thank you. They 'think' ..."Have A Nice Day' ..is the same. IT"S NOT!!

It's disgusting, but I can't say anything to him about it because he gets really offended if you try to criticise anything about him. It's unbearable, I can't stand being in the same room as him when he eats, it literally makes me feel sick.

One should keep close their fears and concerns and seek not remediation.
To do so incurs the wrath of the listener and heightens the level of frustration.
To convey an idea in it’s proper context in the course of a conversation .
Is difficult to do and renders untrue your words through aberration.
Any perceived slight or slip of the tongue will be met with undue trepidation.
How does one guard the words that they use to avoid this type of vexation?
To try and seek clarity when expressing oneself through the act of communication.
Is to leave oneself open to misunderstanding and unwarranted incrimination.
While it seems clear the motives were pure in seeking dissemination.
What is it’s worth when all the times spent in offering rectification?
Singularity of thought and purposeful speech precludes any recantation.
Consider long your desire to hold in your mind the essence of clarification.
The onus of the burden resides with you if you truly wish edification.
But be warned in advance there’s a price to be paid and it’s usually vilification.
The question is, how does one properly phrase a question that elicits a thoughtful response without raising the ire of the respondents. Is there a tried and true method of asking that causes someone to answer in a truthful and logical manner?

Ladies, ever notice at how some of even the most 'refined' men loose their manners when they see a woman that is 'physically' endowed? Which of your physical features do you notice men paying alot of attention to when you are in the public eye?

What's the best "accidental bargain" you ever got? I DON'T mean stealing!! Like, you go to the grocery store and they mistakenly under-charge you (for example, a five-pound roast that should be $20, but it rings up as 20 cents).

I once bought a nice steak to grill for dinner (I got other items at the same time). The steak was supposed to be $7.70, but when I arrived home I realized (on the receipt) that it rang up as 77 cents!

I did think about going back to the market, but (of course) I didn't. And I grilled and ate the steak with very little guilt!

Talking with an American actress at a party and her stock response was "Interesting". She didn't look very interested. Is this the USA standard polite response or a put down?

This is a big pet peeve of mine. Does anyone else relate with me? I normally just smile and or graciously thank them but inside I am very annoyed.
Here is an example: I asked a guy that I worked with if he knew a good place to purchase health suppliments at cheap prices. He recommended a place that may have it and I thanked him. He then continued to explain to me that I could call them and see if they carried and IF they carried I could ask how much it was. I just smiled at him.
I know this is petty but it is so annoying to me. Any ways to explain to people that their "advice" is not necessary without coming across as rude or arrogant? Sometimes I think people are so used to dealing with idiots that they treat everyone that way.

And why is it usally fat people who wear shorts in town centres.. ?And in the summer I even see topless drunk men in the city centre!


Shouldn't this kind of mode of dress be banned on anyone waying more than 100 pounds or over the age of 11 because it is against public decency?

I've noticed nobody smiles or says "hi" anymore. Everyone would rather talk on the cell or listen to the ipod.
