Etiquette - September 2006

I read an article that said squatting to their level when taking the order, wearing a flower in your hair & smiley faces on the check will earn you better tips. Any other ideas?

Contributers who give such excellent answers really attract me.

Just because you have a office does that give you the right to use the speakerphone every time you make or take a phone call so everyone can hear your conversation?

I am a sophmore in high school, I did not have PE last year and am worried about showering nude in front of the other guys in my class. I'm afraid I could get an erection and be called gay. Is this a normal worry for a teenager? I don't feel comfortable being nude in front of other guys.

I don't

Do you prefer splitting the check ( evenly) at restaurants when you dine with family or friends?
Or do you think that seperate checks work out better? If so, is it ok, or does it seem tacky to ask before ordering, if the server can put it on seperate checks?
Sometimes you might order something small, for a few bucks, and other parties might have the most expensive thing on the menu...so, if splitting evenly, how do you feel about this?
I understand that "treating" another person to dinner, etc. falls into a different situation. So my question is generally speaking; for example, lunch with friends.

I was driving home from work last night and spotted a bloke with his finger up his nose, it looked like he was digging for treasure.

Did he think nobody could see him, if he had looked to his right he would have seen a cue of traffic a mile long.

Is it immature to have to switch hands after you cut your food. For example, if you are right-handed and you cut your meet with your right hand and then switch the fork into that hand to eat?

The brother of a close friend of mines mother in law recently passed away (appx 3 weeks ago) she gave a card and I did not. I wish that I had sent one a couple of weeks ago but I will give one this week. I have not spoken to them since I heard and want to express my condolence. Is there an appropriate time to send a card regarding someones loss, and should there even be a date put on? It seems like a stupid question to ask but I want to be sensitive and proper. Thank you for any advice.

Blow your nose??? Really this isn't a joke...I have really bad allergies and my nose is always running. If I don't blow my nose...let's just say its gross. I feel so obnoxious. Then I leave the room, which also doesn't work well. Also, what if there isn't a sink nearby to wash your hands? What do you do if there isn't a trash can?

I asked my mom but she just laughed. Then changed the subject so I'm guessing she doesn't know either. Also, my spanish teacher is obsessed with manners so I just ask to go to the bathroom, but I can't do that more than once a period. And then she just stares at me.

I feel like an idoit asking this, but I don't know what else to do.

I work with a lady in her mid 20's. She was invited to dinner by a man who is a friend but who she knows he is interested in her. She only likes him as a friend, so she invited 6 of her girlfriends on this date so she would not be alone with him, then told the guy what she had done. He agreed because he really likes her. She did not see anything wrong with what she had done. We told her this was WRONG; and unfair to the guy. Does anyone have anything else to add?

They're not quite waiting on you, but it's not quite fast food. So should you tip them when they bring your food?

We are having a party at work tomorrow and everyone was supposed to sign up to bring stuff. Well two women signed up to bring rolls together while everyone else was cooking stuff. Seems to me they are just trying to eat our food without having to do any work, and why does it take two people to buy rolls, they are really cheap!

My sister (her mother-in-law) wanted to throw her a baby shower, which my mother and my wife (from many miles away) wanted to attend. My niece hemmed and hawwed around, then finally agreed.

She's a Mormon. Her mother was at the baby shower (barely, since she didnt speak to anyone and left early). None of my niece's 5 sisters or mormon friends were there. The whole thing was kind of rushed through as if she just too busy for it.

Here's my read: She's planning another shower for her family and her mormon friends, and just agreed to this one to appease the "heathen" part of the family.

This is a young couple who have benefitted greatly from our family's generosity. If I find out she's just paying lip service to my wife, my mother, and my sister, after all the family has done for her.....I will tell her off in no uncertain terms and cut her out of our lives forever. Right or wrong?
