Etiquette - November 2006

They're unrelentlessly pushy, they call back even when they have already been told the person is not interested, and then they wonder why so many people hate them.

How should I greet the parents? "Hi, Mr/Mrs X, thanks for having me" ?? or just "nice to meet you" and save the thanks for having me for when I leave? Should I offer my hand for a handshake or is that unnecessary? I should bring a gift right? Any other tips I should keep in mind?

Since i was 5 or 6 years old if i'm not mistaken,i have a sudden interest in either watching tv that shows dramas or movies that has a hero performing CPR on the heroine to revive her back to life either due to drowning,asphixiation,heart attack,etc. until now.I also loves to read medical books with CPR illustrations(female as the victim) when i go to the library.Sometimes i did mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions on my wife for fun.My wife does admit that i'm kinda weird for choosing this as a fetish but later on she does'nt mind at all.She said she love it to since she get used to it for quite a long time.I do worry if i might broke her ribs or even interupt her normal heart rythm while doing chest compressions on her but so far she's ok.Seriously i love her so much and really don't want her to get hurt just because of my weird fetish.Is this something normal for a men to have such a fetish?If it's normal/not normal,can you guys tell me what's the logic for such?

Im in college, live in the same dorms, and it seems like people generally go into each others room, sometimes they call, sometimes not. Should I call my friends before coming to their rooms (just down the hall) or just knock on the door and see if they're there?

I have a veeeeeeeery long fuse, but I've just about come to the end of it, and I need all you people out there to tell me:
Why is it that if a customer can't find something in the store, or they're annoyed with having to wait in line too long, they take it out on the cashiers?? I need to be blunt and honest here: If you don't see it on the shelf, we probably don't carry it. Period. No amount of yelling at me is going to make it magically appear for you! Besides, why don't you find someone in that department and tell THEM?? And why do you complain to me that there aren't enough registers open?? It's not my fault we're short-staffed! "Why don't you hire more people?" you ask. Well, we'd hire them if they'd apply! We can't drag people in off the street and put them on registers! Maybe YOU'D like to apply??
PLEASE stop complaining to us! We were hired to scan your items and take your payment. And believe me, we try to be as friendly as possible. It's hard, but we try. Won't you?

I don't actually use profanity, but I use substitutes like, "Son of a monkey's uncle!" and "What the crunk!"

I have been doing Holiday shopping latley and have run into my fair share of women passing by in stores....on a few occasions I have passed a group of women in their early twenties and they said to me "no, game" as I passed by them. I can only think this because I did not make eye contact with them/had no interest.... Am I supposed to smile and greet every stranger (woman) I pass by in the parking lot nowadays and stare at her even though I will never see/meet her again....? Whats up with this? Other time they will clear their throat several times until I at least look in their direction like I have to acknowledge them/give them attention. I am a realist and right now I am not looking for a relationship and not interested in patronizing strangers who Illl never meet again/do not plan on meeting again who just want some attention.

Is it wrong to ask people about their opinions when you barely know them?

In our office, we have a group of Latino/a housekeepers who come by in the evening. Since I'm usually in the office when they arrive, I know them by face, and I speak to them pretty often. I often attempt to speak to them in my limited Spanish, since I know that Spanish is likely their first language, but I'm wondering, would this actually be considered rude? I don't want them to think that I'm assuming they can't speak English. Should I continue speaking to them in Spanish, or should I switch to English?

The host and hostess will be serving spaghetti. Is it correct to twirl the spaghetti around your fork or cut it into bite-size pieces? Also, is it impolite to cut your salad into easy-to-bite pieces? Thanks!!

My girlfriend has experience with this problem at a medical care center. It's rare that she runs into a name that she can't pronounce, but she was told that it's impolite to ask for a nickname after apologizing to the patient for not being able to pronounce the first or last.

Just wondering.

If a man opens a door for you, do you think "What a gentleman?" Or do you think something like "You sexist pig! I hope you die!"

I look forward to your answers.
