Etiquette - September 2006

Somebody (I don't know who) keep calling me and leaving voicemails that say the f word every other word. Although it might sound childish, but I'm hurt and offended. The first time they called, I listened to the voicemail, called them back, and told them not to call me a again. That was maby 2 or 3 days ago. Tonight they called me from a different number and left me another voicemail say the f word more times. I don't know what to do. Should I call them again? Just delete it and forget about it? Go to my carrier and complain? Please help.

these same people, who invited themselves to our house very boldly and directly and in my opinion rudely, though it did not seem so bad at the time(please see my other question if you have time) also invited themselves along on a cruise vacation i am going on with my hubby and our baby girl. What am i to do? The way they did it, i wasn't around, and my hubby, who talks far to much, felt a bit uncomfortable and was embarassed to say no. he told me he doesn't really want them to come. they are supposed to be good friends of my brother, through whom we met them. how do i get rid of these people, and why do you think they want to follow us around? are they after something or am i being paranoid? i dont know them well at all and i have an uncertain feeling about the characters involved!

My sister holds her fork in an interesting way. She holds it so that her index (pointer) finger is almost touching the back of the prongs. Is this wrong? What is the right way to hold a fork if you're right handed people in North America?

I slipped in it the other day. I have a big,painful bruise where i landed ,full weight, on one knee. The woman didn't even try to help me up,ask if I was ok, or anything. She lies and says the neighbors dog does it, and we all know it is her son. She has 2 other kids and a baby that has CP, and the way she treats the baby and plops her around is appalling. I was visiting her and I watched,horrified,as he pulled his underwear off, & peed. She did yell at him,and cleaned it up. I had reported her to the office,as if I have to pay my rent,and follow the rules,so does she. He had peed again. I was visiting her,I slipped in it,and fell. The next morning,I went to the office to report her. She got a warning,and she yelled at me, in front of the office manager in our parking lot.The manager got mad at her,and now the apts. thinks I am a trouble maker. Am I? The woman is young (26) and an alcoholic,and she had almost no friends. I felt sorry for her which is why i befriended her.

I work in a grocery store and often times happen to notice girls/women crowtching or kneeling to get items off the bottom shelf. While doing this they expose their lower back and sometimes even more. Many times underwear is exposed.

So What should I do, if anything at all, about this? Don't girls, teenagers and adult women realize that their butt crack and underwear are exposed, and how many people can see this?

my brother's friend came to visit him and is staying at his house. today my brother invited my husband and i to lunch. his friend, after ony a few minutes of talking to us, asked us when he could come see our house. he asked very directly, and in such a way that it would have seemed rude to decline. his girlfriend was there and of course he implied that she come along too. we've never met her before and we don't really know the guy himself too well, only met him a couple of times and never had a personal relationship with him, but he 's very close to my brother. is his directness rude. how should i have handled the situation? I am uncomfortable with them visiting but have already told them they can come over, what do i do? i don't want to be rude or ruin the relationship between my brother and his friend.

my neighbour is an older european lady, very set in her ways, speaks little english. she keeps a plastic garbage can at the eavestrough of her garage to catch rain water to water her plants

I have hinted towards her relatives in the past that she shouldn't do this, however I was told that she will never change her ways

should I call the west nile hotline (in Canada, I see tv commercials about this all the time) and have them check into it, or just mind my own business

from the tv commercials I see, this is high time for mosquito breeding, and they breed in standing water and I have a 3 yr old boy that plays in our yard, just 20 or so feet from this standing water hazard

what should I do???

This is a new (3mo) employee. He's a nice enough guy. Trouble is, he's been in the profession 30 years but only worked one other place. He constantly compares our way of doing things with his old job.I'm not saying everything here is perfect- but why did he quit the other place if it was so great? How can I tactfully state this?

It's happened to me before from a friend in college for two years, who never owned up about it until I told him I was going to the cops, whoever the person was. Then it stopped.

Way to feel good about my life. Thoughts?

If you had your wife/husband in one hand and your son/daughter in the other and you had to let go of one in order to save the other's life which one would you let go of and why? Note, you are at the edge of a cliff and they are hanging on to you for dear life.
