Etiquette - October 2006

Why start an arguement if you don't let people email replies back to you? You Americans are all the same - all mouth and no trousers. If you want a fight you've got one Yank scum.

like I said been messaging this guy for over a year and asked at what time is it exceptable to give up, lots of people answered and thought that i was creepy among other thigs, also said that he's not interested, but what do you do when you say not to reply becuase your scared of making a mess of yourself. for a while i did not message him and he checked into his account. personally i think that if he was not and wanted me to know this he would of forgotten about being a gentleman and let me do. what should i do i have been caught by my own shyness and now don't seriously know whats happening. i know i can guess and suppose but will never know, he's really busy, and harldly has time but then i tink if he wanted to he would, but that stilll applies ot the other dilema. no news is good news i say, and he has said nowt. really thinking of not doing it again, but if he didn't want the attention he would do something wouldn't he. really confused.

I was watching the Oprah show the other day and this guy was trying to spread acts of kindness by going around and giving people hugs. So my question is this "If someone came up to you and wanted to give you a hug would you let them or would you think they were a pickpocket?

My boyfriend wants to come over on Sunday to ask for my hand in marriage. I am really excited but at the same time I am not sure how I set the whole thing up. Do I tell my parents why he is coming or do I just suggest that we have a dinner and tell them he is coming. His parents are coming too and my parents have met his mom before but not his dad. Do I tell them who is coming so they know, should I say why his parents are coming? If I don't say and just tell them they are coming, how do I answer their questions as to why they are coming? I guess these things are trivial after Sunday but I just don't know exactly what I am going to do. I just wish my boyfriend would have planned it without including me into the whole thing, but I also love the fact that he is coming to ask for my hand because it would be greatly appreciated (my parents are traditional mexican parents). I guess my big concern is do I clue them in or not?

I live on the first floor of a two-story apartment complex. The buildings have four units apiece, two above and two below, all four with patios. My neighbor upstairs is a law student and she smokes, I recently found out. She's a nice person for the limited interaction I have with her, but one thing bothers me - when she sits on the patio to read, she coughs... a lot. She's an early riser (well before when I get up) so her coughing echoes into the court space between the apartment buildings and it's loud enough for me to hear and be awakened - and I don't like having my sleep interrupted. Her coughing could be the sign of a serious medical condition but it would be out of place for me to comment on that. How should I handle this? Common sense would suggest I speak kindly with her, but what do I say? Worse, what if she does nothing about it? Or retaliates? I shouldn't have to plug my ears; what if my smoke alarm or phone goes off and I don't hear it? Nor should I have to move.

At the local weight lifting/exercise gym i hopped into the gang shower after the workout and there was this guy in there..it looked like he had genital warts and herpes and some kind of rash on his butt. Also, this big mole on his back and he wasn't circumcized and I'm not used to seeing that. I couldn't help but keep staring at him. He looked at me with this weird face but I just kept staring. I was thinking...man this looks really bad...He complained to the manager and I was suspended for a week.

very much for the past six years? He got it from his grandmother and knew when he got it that my skin reacts poorly to gold.

I used to wear it on a delicate chain, but that looks tacky or unprofessional, especially as the chain must be silver; however, we do need to signify I am married. Guys keep asking and it's annoying to explain about it every time a woman and I discuss children and she gives me that "Oh you're not married" look.... :)

So. Should we get another type of band for me or can I go on not wearing it and it not be improper? Hmm.

Up to late with Yahoo answers last night and wasn't thinking clearly this afternoon!

Here's what happened, I took a huge pile of clothes to the laundromat and put $20 in the change machine in there. The coins were coming out very slowly so I just grabbed the first $5 worth of quarters and started to put all the clothes in the washers, while the change machine churned out the rest of the quarters. Something was wrong with one of the machines and I had to fiddle with the door for a while, it took about 5 minutes. And then -- you guessed it -- I totally forgot about the $15 worth of quarters in the change machine! I started to read a magazine and then 10 minutes later I suddenly remembered the quarters that I didn't pick up and I ran back to the machine and they were all gone! There was only one other guy in the laundromat the whole time, so I figured he took them. "Excuse me," I said, "Did you see some quarters here?" "No," he answered. "Damn, I forgot to pick up all my change and

My roommates are constantly in the living room of our apartment. It's a central space so it make sense that they are easily tempted to just sit down on the sofa, but honestly, everyday they are sitting there doing homework, watching tv, socializing, eating, taking naps, studying, and you name it. They each have their own separate rooms, but they hardly go into them unless they need the bed or clothes. Is this behavior normal?

I've seen a bunch of them in my neighborhood this evening. I almost hit a few of them with my car when they darted in front of me, dressed entirely in black.

For some reason it doesn't feel right giving candy to people in their twenties. Shouldn't they have given it up already?
