Etiquette - September 2006

It is very irritating when you are the phone with family or friends and they go to answer their other line. Is life that important? You can't concentrate on one phone call at a time? I find it very rude, do you?

I'll be working in one department and they will ask me where something is that's located on the other end of the store. It's obvious that the item he/she asked about is not in the department that I'm working.

I noticed some people do not look at me when they speak or when I speak yet they will look at other people, especially in group discussion. Just curious to see why they are like that.

Is it me or is something wrong with people in the 30-30 age bracket who are obsessed with their cell phones. I know one woman (ages 27) who is constantly texting people. For example, 3 people went to a bar tonight and she was text messaging ynder the table while we were there. is this as rude as i think it is?

I just returned from the wake of a cousin. I've attended many wakes and memorials over the wakes. The question is: since there usually are several of the deceased's family members in the receiving line, what is an appropriate sympathetic thing to say? After saying, over and over, "you have my sympathies" or "I'm very sorry for your loss" it all seems to become trite and meaningless. It's not that I don't mean it, it just feels inadequate. Any ideas? Thanks

A woman I work with is constantly receiving gifts of food from ladies in the office; she is our supervisor. The food is from women of a different culture; we are American. They bring her large containers, enough to share with her family. She accepts the food graciously, but, she doesn't really like most of their foods. In the office she will whisper to me that it is awful. She told me (more than once) that she takes it home and throws it in the garbage. She even goes so far as to tell them it was delicious and ask for the recipe!
Last week, because I'd had enough of listening to this, I suggested that she just tell them. I said that these women would not be offended if you graciously thanked them for being so thoughtful,but tell them that she did not care for that particular dish.
She said it would be rude to say that she did not like the food, and that she will continue to accept it, and throw it away! I was appalled, but I did not say any thing more. What is your opinion?

I have a roommate. We each have cell phones and there's also a home phone that I alone pay for. Since my roommate has moved in, he's used my home phone for all of his calls that are NOT his personal friends, meaning he's giving my phone number to everyone. This morning some lady for something in regards to insurance premiums called for him, but he was asleep and I took the message. After I hung up, he got mad and said it was an important call and that I should have given him the phone. Now, this is MY phone, *I* pay the bill, and he's sure as hell not paying me to be his personal secretary. Does he have any right to get mad about how I answer my OWN phone and take messages or what message I leave on MY voicemail? How do I tell him if his calls are so important to use his own damn phone? It feels like he's mooching off me so as to not use up his minutes, but like I said, he's not paying the home phone bill.

WHEN YOU ARE TOUGHT TO BELIEVE A LIE-ONLY THE TRUTH CAN SET YOU FREE!

JESUS SAID, UNLESS YOU REPENT, AND ARE born again, ye cannot see the kingdom of heaven. John chapter 3

the idea given to me was--why believe Jesus -why not call him a prophet and reject what he says-and claim he never died-

but does it matter when we become delusional-go against history, the words of Jesus, when we have a leader who married a 9 year old girl-and said she was his best of his wives. the koran says Jesus was the only prophet witout sin-- why???

Moses said "The life of the flesh is in the blood, and i have given it to make atonement for your sins."

no death of Jesus =no forgiveness of sins

i prayed and came to know Jesus as my Messiah and best friend and savior-i believe him and the bible-and He closed the bible in Revelation 22-the last chapter saying, if anyone adds to my book -they will receive a plague-
could that plague be delusion living with a calendar dated by Jesus -yet---

Come on now, this world isn't THAT bad .. the sweetest thing anyone ever did for me was kind of silly. When at an SCA event, a young squire [knight in training] noticed I was limping and offered to carry my stuff all the way to my tent ... a good mile and a half from the road. That same kid also made sure that I had plenty snacks and water when I couldn't make it around on foot. It was totally not necessary for him to do that and it was about seven years ago ... every year I see him and he's still as sweet as can be. Alas, he's a knight now ... and a strapping one at that!

So come on, come on. Don't be shy. Step on up and post away!

Recently, I held the door open for a woman, and she turned around and gave me a very nasty look, as if I was doing something wrong. Do you feel that this is demeaning to you? Is it not proper to be a gentleman anymore and hold a door open for a woman?

My ex-lovers, good friends and family members know all my passwords (voicemail, email, internet accounts etc.) And I often ask them to check my email and voicemail because it is something I hate doing.

These people couldn't care less, so I feel secure and enjoy the convenience of the occasional secretary; however, someone recently said that this lack of privacy was strange.

Granted this seemingly paranoid comment came from their own desire to have privacy and not have their messages to me heard or read by another.

Is it such a big deal? Do you share your passwords?
