Etiquette - October 2006

what should I do?

ie; do I still send an anniversary card, or a rememberence card, just a mention in a phonecall, or just not say anything?

Please help, especially if you have experience from one side or the other

I let an old co-worker move in to my apt. last week and have noticed unsettling things. Before I list them, I haven't collected rent (they're unaware of the rent cycle), and am uncertain how to proceed before collecting.

Smokes inside (my NO rule, against building code)
Clothes/belongings reek of cig smoke(cheap cigs stink more!)
Don't think I've EVER seen/heard shower run(no damp towels anywhere, shower is dry when I look at it)
Needed a lift, their significant other seemed 'bothered' to help ("hey I'm giving them a place to stay!)
Informed me that altercations have occurred(I lived here 1st, I'll probably be here after their gone, why do that?)

Any tips/suggestions/hints, how can I stop this 'snowball' before it becomes an avalanche?

I am all for mother nature, i have children of my own. However i don't expect to see mother's breast feeding children in a restuarant, surely they know when the child is due it's next feed, and if the child requires more food at a unexpected moment (it doe's happen) then surely it would be just courteous to ask someone if their is somewhere private they could feed their child!!
Very offputting i can tell you
Doe's anyone agree with me?
All replies welcome, i am sure their will be some sick jokes amongst them...........

Is it just me, or does it drive you crazy when people get in the self-scan line with a cart full of food and have no clue how to use the machine? Are these the same people that get in the 12 items or less line with 30 things?

Or is it more than just at fast food restuarants? Ive seen this more than onece. I am watching swedes, germans, japanese, russians, other eastern europeans, british and americans and I dont see the same - generally they dont eat with their mouth open.

Is it a cultural thing with the chinese? Something do with their tradition of eating or chewing food or their teeth?

you I did the same as she did...tight daisy dukes up to my cheeks, top with no bra( I am not that big up top, so it looks good), and no wedding band...you are not lying..you are just not addressing the issue of whether or not you are married....the tips rolled in for me....cuz guys did not know if I was married or not...also for those of you who do not believe it the 120 length cigarettes do make a difference to guys...I don't know whether or not it is because they are drinking, but they do find them sexier....you actually do not have to smoke them much, just light them, hold them, and puff occasionly on them...guys go crazy ...so, what is wrong with what she does for extra money?

What would you do if you meet someone you knew before, perhaps from the university you were together. This guy/gal is not really your close friend. Perhaps just ordinary friends, slightly closer than the relationship among acquaintance.

It has also been five years.

Would you walk up to him/her and greet him/her? Or would you just smile at him/her or would you just pretend you don't know him/her? What would you do?

short shorts and a tight skimpy tank top as most of my coworkers suggested...did not wear my wedding band or diamond...and I made $127 in tips my first night....I don't smoke much, but my coworkers have also suggested that in addition to skimpy outfits, miniskirts, tight jeans, tight tops, I might also try smoking one of the feminie 120 length cigarettes when I smoke when I am working so that I will look more sexy for tips...as I say..I don't smoke too much except when I go out and when I am working in the bar...should I make the switch to long cigarettes to increase my tips as they suggest?

It is a photo model and I know how expensive they are, He has already put his own music and photos on it! I cant believe he did'nt try to return it to it's owner, it would'nt be difficult as it was found on public transport so the owner will probably ring the company up to see if 1 was found. I think this is really deceptive of him or am I too conscientious? This was probably a gift from somones hard earned cash. I think it's like stealing.

I'm sorry I don't mean to be disgusting but I saw two people do this yesterday.. a child in a shop and a guy sitting in a car..
Do they really not realise how utterly disgusting this is? Particularly the adults. Also i have noticed that guys tend to do this quite a lot whilst sitting in their cars.

Furthermore, if you really do need to pick your nose in public, why proceed to eat it afterwards??????
