Etiquette - November 2006

He's a great doctor, but we aren't buddies, so I'd like to keep it fairly impersonal. I think he's in his 40s, he surfs, he's single, lives in Hawaii. Any ideas? Around $100? And something I can ship or have shipped, he's on another island.

My currrent favorite idea is a charitable donation in his name...

unfortunetly I was one of those rare persons who were born with a shred of self dignity and would rather speak my mind then sit there and be a yes man to their idiot ideas.

now they have effectively ruined our company, should i chime that I was right all along?

I have ruined my chances for promotion so why whould i not chime to my correctness. (is that a word?)

One of my coworkers likes to have the air-con at 15 degrees (Celcius) everyday, but I am constantly cold. I sit under a vent and as a result end up sneezing all day. My hands are so cold I can hardly type and my nose is always running. Yet whenever I try to alter the temp, he just waits till I'm not watching and puts it back. I've tried talking to him and joking about it, but he just doesn't seem to care about my discomfort.

So my question is, does anyone have any tips on how I can win this battle?

PS i don't bring a sweater to work, because it's like 30 degrees outside (it's summer here) and it's a hassle to carry one. Plus, I don't see why I should have to!

Okay I can totally understand why people would hate me for this but I came on here for answers, not insults. There's this kid that sits behind me in english and I HATE him, he's annoying, he's always poking me, he has that nazely voice, and he always comments on everything the teacher says, everything! He just thinks he's so funny, like if the teacher says "Have a nice weekend, stay out of trouble" he always says "well I can't make any promises" grrrrr! Now he keeps flirting with me, but he's one of those people who act mean and annoying to people when they like them. The thing is he has one leg that is skinnier and smaller than the other one, he wears a brace and special shoes. What do I do when he asks me out? Cuz not only am I not interested, I can't stand him! I wanna slap him that's how much he annoys me, but since he has a disabiltity that apparently makes me some sort of "monster". Well I can't help it okay? Just tell me what I should do then throw the rotten tomatoes!

What would you do if you were stuck in a really bad traffic jam and badly needed to go to the bathroom?

Would you try and hold it in?

Or go to the bathroom in a cup or a bottle inside your car?

Or relieve yourself on the side of the road or behind your car door?

Or would you get out of your car, try and find a bathroom, and then walk back to your car?

I have invited new friends of mine for Christmas dinner. They are here from another country and I thought it would be nice for them to see an "American" Christmas. They are Jewish and don't keep strictly kosher but do observe 'unclean' and no meat with dairy.
As the hostess, should I cut the traditional dairy products out of my meal/offer an alternative. Or - say this our tradition - enjoy.
I don't want to offend them or confuse their children. Any suggestions?

Is it common for ppl to do that? Last yr my in-laws said, "You gave this to us last Christmas but we couldn't use it so you can have it back". I am really hoping the same thing doesn't happen again this yr. I try hard to find nice gifts for them.

I get freaked out when people smile at me. It make me worry, why do they think they need to smile at me? Do they think I'm sad and need some cheering up? Do they think I'm a *special* kid? Do they think I'm stupid? Do they think they're better than me? Do they think I'm angry? Are they scared of me and think I hate them, smiling as a gesture that they don't hate me?

When people start to talk to you and at first they talk in words that are not like bad words/cuss words and the after a while of getting to talk to you they start to use cuss words does it mean that person feels comfortable saying these words around you?
Like say for example how some guys might feel that they should not say bad words or cuss words around women.

I would love to come to your side of the pond if you don't mind. I sneaked across the border, from the US, a couple times, but felt guilty without permission. I did Not vote for Bush, and it gets very tiresome here sometimes. So is it okay with you if I engage in conversation with you on occasion?

I have caught guys staring at me because I see them look away quickly. But what does it mean when they don't look away? And then call their fiance right after? BTW, I don't know this guy.
