Etiquette - September 2006

what would be great gifts to buy for our groomsmen- I dont want to get "engraved flasks", or "money clips" as I've seen over & over in catalogs- what do you think? (we're getting .25 ct. diamond earrings for our bridesmaids)

Maybe some stories about really bad neighbors will make my neighbors not look so bad

So if the penalty is the same, and some idiot construction guy steps into my lane and I bump him, can I just finish the job and back over him a few times?

I think the word "anniversary" is the wrong word when describing a bad event like 9-11. "Remembrance" is better. To me: anniversary is a word that describes a good event, like a wedding anniversary.Not like 9-11 or the columbine shootings. What do you think??

I'm 24; should I still have my friends push me around in shopping carts?

I often return the favor by pushing them around in the shopping cart the next time.

I recently tied the knot with my longtime companion. We had a small wedding at a church, with cake and coffee and punch afterward in the church hall. Everyone knew it was very informal and what to expect at the reception. (my husband and I paid for everything ourselves, and we are not well off) We had a beautiful day, and everything went well. Everyone seemed very happy.
Many of our guests were generous enough to give us gifts. A week later, I deposited the checks that we were given in the bank.
I received a letter in the mail from the bank a few days after that. I was shocked to discover that a friend stopped payment on the check that he had written us. I am not sure how to handle this. I can't understand why he would do this. We always got along marvelously. I checked with the bank...there was no mistake. He just stopped payment, with no word of explaination to me or my husband. What would be the right thing to do? I don't want to seem greedy, only understand what happened.

I was at a table and it was just myself and i was eating the big mac value meal that i ordered and this unhot guy approaches my table and says hi and i was like cant you see that i'm eating ( i wouldnt have said that if the guy was hot ), but anyways i was like ok and just ignored him and kept eating and he kept trying to start a conversation and i was like do you really think someone like you has a chance with someone like me, i dont think so, and he was like i may not be so hot on the outside but on the inside i'm beautiful and i was like what a loser, i cant see the inside of you so what do i care and then i just brushed him aside and ignored him until i left the McDonalds. Was i rude lol? How would you have handled it properly with etiquette?

I got a certified letter today but they didn't knock and now I have to wait until Monday to receive it. Can this be anything good or is it definately bad news?

Has anyone ever sent or received certified mail that was good?

I have no idea how to go out about this. I have looked online, and really not found all that much. I see stuff about sequencing your ideas and such, but I don't know where to start, and I guess where to go from there and where to end. I'm just at a complete loss. This is my Mom's cousin, she was 43, had a few unhappy years, lost a lot in her life, and commited suicide a few days ago. Please don't reply on the morral values of suicide, not in the mood. I just need help thinking of something appropriate to represent this woman. A quote that I found was good is "Death is not the greatest loss in life, the greatest loss in what dies inside us while we live" ... I feel that is very true to fact for her. I don't want to go out this in a sad way though, the one to read this is my Mom, and she is working on it as I type. Just want to have more ideas for her. Thanks in advance :) ... Also... wasn't sure where to post this question, hope it was an appropriate area.

I had just woken up one morning, but I hit my foot on my nightstand. As I was loudly expressing some obscenities and hopping around from the pain, I tripped on the rug, ran into the wall which stopped my fall, but I stepped backward and tripped on my slippers which caused me to fall, and as I fell I grabbed for the dresser. Instead, I grabbed the small wooden box with a glass cover which my father made for me several years ago. The neighbor girl even ran in on me while I was still lying on the floor to make sure that I was fine because she had heard my obscene fit and all of the noise. I lied and told her that I was trying to learn how to tap-dance. I think she believed me...

Nonetheless, how should I apologize to my father, and is it possible fix the broken glass on the box? Or should I tell my father that there was a major earthquake here? I think my clumsiness upsets my parents...

I am a guy and no expert in salon etiquette. I tip the person who cuts my hair ($6 on a $30 haircut). But what about the woman who washed my hair? Right after my washing seems like an awkward moment to find my wallet, etc. Does my hair-cutter tip out the hair-washer (like the waiter-busboy relationship in a restaurant)? Thanks.
