Etiquette - October 2006

No matter in what weather conditions,hot and sunny,rainy,snowy,they knocked on your door selling stuffs.Many times nobody answers their knocks,sometimes people with no manner scold them in front on their faces or even releases their dogs to chase them away.Can you guys imagine how hard and sad their work can be with a very minimal wedges.Some of them are working after graduate from high-school just to add some saving for futer studies.Even worst some of them were already in their late 40's,married with children and how long can they stand working in this field with very minimum incomes?So,when you saw one did you treat him/her respectly wether you want to by thier item s or not,OR you did done some ill-mannered stuff just to get rid of them?I want you guys to answer this question nicely and in full honesty.

Some of you drive like a bat out of hell, like you own the road or something! What's wrong with you maniacs? Don't you realize if you keep driving like that you're going to die soon? You drive like you don't even care if you kill an innocent person!

I have been in Seattle for 4 years now, but I am still not used to some questions asked by strangers who happen to know where I live, for example, cab drivers or truck delivery drivers. Often they like to ask what do you do, what do you study. how long have you been here... Because they get to know where I live, I am reluctant to reveal my personal information.
Is it just me? What would you do if you were in my position?

There's this girl here at my college...and she and I HATE each other...but her mom died recently....and to be perfectly honest, I didn't care at all.....but here's the thing...our boss at work (we work as tutors at school here) is going to be passing around a condolence card for all the co-workers to sign...

If I sign it, I feel it'd be wrong because I don't care, and plus I don't like the girl...if my mother died, I wouldn't want somebody I don't like to put their name on the card...but at the same time, I think I should just sign it.....but then it'd be more of an obligation thing...I'm only signing it because everybody else is....and that'd be wrong and disrespectful to sign it and not even mean it.....any suggestions?

It would be nice if everyone could show basic courtesy and respect for all users. They don't shock or offend me, they are just tacky and boring. So, again, why?

Can some explain to me, why is it nessesary for some people to invade ones personal space? Why is it acceptable sometime and not others? I am confused. This has something to do with me and some one I work with. I know that I do not send out signals, yet still it happens.

I know that the customary amount to tip a server in a restaurant is 15%, but should that be 15% of the subtotal (before tax), or the total (after tax)? I never really though about it until now. Taxes go to the state and not to restaurant. Which....

Paper cups and sandwich wrappers are just as biodegradable -- do they throw these out too?

I myself am a very skinny person. I am 5 feet 8 inches tall and weigh only 100 pounds. I do not have an eating disorder and I am not physically ill. Being this height and weight is natural for me.

People have actually come up to me and grabbed my wrists and showed their friends how skinny I am. People are constantly assuming that I have an eating disorder and people have told me that they *hated* me on sight because I am thin.

People seem to think that it is ok to make fun of skinny people, especially skinny girls. It seems like *every time* a thin woman is shown anywhere people just have to make rude comments suggesting that she has an eating disorder or that she is ugly because she is thin.

Why do people think that it is ok to make fun of skinny people? Why do fat people get upset when people make fun of them and then turn around and make rude comments about skinny people?

What do you think of that, would you mind having to learn for a year (and pay for a year) if it'll make you and everyone else safer?
Nothing to do with etiquette I know, well, courteous driving I guess.

I work at a hotel and I love my job. But there are pet peeves of mine that drive me up a d@mn wall! Like the fact that I say " Hello, thank you for calling..........(my place of work) my name is Tiffany, how may I help you?" The responses that I get are " Yeah how much are al yalls rooms for ........ (date)?" Not a hi or a hello but a YEAH. And then 90% of the time people never say goodbye, they just hang up! Barely a thank u or anything. And you can tel if the person is using a cordless phone or a corded phone. Because if they have a cord they SLAM the phone down. And the noise hurts my ears very badly because our phone is sensitive to loud noises.

So people please when you call any place of business to speak with an employee please please please use common phone manners like hello, goodbye, please and thank you. It really makes us less cranky to deal with and often times can make our days.

If I saw a little bugger spitting (a big greenie) in the street, would I get in trouble if I clipped the little blighter round the ear?

How should I have dealt with the matter?

I'm having a joint birthday party with a friend of mine in November at a local Mexican restaurant. I'm getting ready to send out the invitation email in a few weeks, and I want to make sure that everyone knows that neither I nor my friend expect gifts. We just want everyone to have fun and come hang with us. I'm afraid if I mention the gift thing in the email, however, it'll almost sound like I'm sort of fishing for gifts. You know? How would you phrase it?
