Etiquette - October 2006

What is the most polite way to end a conversation with somebody that just won't quit talking? I have somebody at work that comes to relieve me. She always holds me up with pointless conversation after I clock out. I'm standing at the door just trying to inch my way out. I don't want to be rude but I want to get the hell out of there! What should I do? This happens a few times per week.

My friend has never said no to me when I asked for help and that is the way A friendship should be ......But my friend is 23 weeks pregnant And she wants to get an abortion because she broke up with her Fiance and Asked me for the money ........I feel I am helping her Murder Don't get me Wrong I am Pro Choice But 22 weeks is very far along ....I would only agree that is was not murder if the mothers life was in jeopardy ....But my friend is healthy
If I say no than that would mean I am not loyal to her as she to me because she has always been there for me
So I can't say No But does that mean I am part of the murder or Its not my problem where the money is going

Which is more politically incorrect - soft-pedaling the fact that modern-ice cream was invented by a black man, or launching "Sambo's Frozen Custard" to celebrate it?

I pay a lot each week for my yard maintenance and they are reliable even though I'm never around to see them. They come. They go. They do a great job for me although it isn't very challenging because I have minimal grass and mostly some bushes. But I do appreciate their dependability. Is it appropriate to either tip them at Christmas or perhaps give them a gift certificate for a restaurant? If so, how much?

Should I lead her in front, or should I keep behind her? Also my 2nd question is, where should I when we're going down a stairs. Thanks for answering.

Would it be wrong to dump the contents of my Tylox out of the capsule & fill it w/ salt, since he likes to snort?

I was shadowing a doctor when i met this really insane patient. She told the doctor that she had read online that if you have certain symptoms you have a certain disease and she had those symptoms and she was sure she had the disease. The doctor diagnonised her and told her that she didn't have the disease. The patient was offending and told the doctor that she was sure that she had the disease. She was firm on making the doctor confess that he didn't know about the disease, when she acutally didn't know about it. The doctor just said that if she wants she could show a different doctor, but her insult was too much for such a polite answer. How do you think the doctor should have replied, in a witty, though polite, in a non-offending, but still in a way to prove his point, should reply to give a good reply to the patient in a professional way????

Personally,I think it's bad manners not to turn the phone off or to silent when having a meal,or not to take the conversation outside !

I ask all of you, why are we so inactive? Why do we do so little when it comes to major, important issues? We are too busy with our personal lives and goals that we ignore that those acheivements may not exist in the next decade or two. With Globabl Warming, Terrorism, and the increase of poverty and deaseses such as AIDS, HIV, Cancer, it feels like society still finds other things in the world to distract themselves with. We are ignoring real-world, civilized life threatening issues like a high school kid ignores his term paper due at the end of the month. So what are we doing? When will society grow up and be responcible?

What is stopping you?

I'm a freshmen in college and i'm just so sick of letting my guard down and trusting "Boyfriends" just to have them hurt me.

Basically I have no trust for boys anymore, I don't let anyone get 2 close. I really like this guy but i won't let him get close. Will it ever get easier to trust other agein...should I bother trusting them?

Also if u had any good quote about trust that would be great!

something that is close 2 this saying or means the same thing:
"how do you trust
when everyone you have trusted
and let your shield down for
has hurt you..."

I get my daughter every other weekend for the school year, and 10 days on, 10 days off for the summer. (Just to let you know where I am in her life)
Well, this weekend she came home with a fricking training bra! I am concerned her mother is trying to push my daughter into growing up to fast. I should mention that my daughter is NOWHERE close to showing lumps..

She is really a sweet kitten. When I get out of my car, she is always there to greet me and she wants some attention. We can't have a cat inside because I have some allergies to cats. (When I pet her I have to go right inside and wash my hands, etc.) Anyway, the neighbors have some kids and they like that the kitten will let the kids carry her around like a baby. So they decided to keep her as an outside cat...they put a collar on her, but they don't feed her cat food or anything....they just let her fend for herself. My child came inside today and asked if we could give her a can of tuna because the kids next door said they didn't have anything to feed her. We have given her some scraps, and she acts like she can't get enough!

Anyway, our vet (we have two dogs) has a kitten adoption program. The neighbors wouldn't know it was their kitten and would never adopt one they had to pay for....should I steal her and take her to our vet who will find her a loving home? I am tempted!

When walking in big cities, I am often hounded by whistles and shouts from young men. I can also tell, say, when I order something at a restaurant, by the way the person looks at me, whether he is attracted to me. I do not dress immodestly. I find this attention very frustrating, but I don't want to dress like Miss Frump in order to remove attention. I want to go into retail business because I love people in general... but I feel like my customers would judge me for my looks. I'm only sixten now, but I already sell things online. Do you think my looks would affect the way customers buy from me if I own a brick-and-mortar shop, and will this attutude change when I'm older?
