Etiquette - November 2006

Instead of just answering the question and being helpful, some of you people cant help being smug and unhelpful..... Your not smart, those of you that have racked up millions of points answering questions with your pointless smugness, your losers..... If you have nothing of use to say, your not welcome to answer my questions..... Do one!

Should I send a thank you card to the hostess who went all out?
And if yes, what should it say?

Well, "double life" is being a bit melodramatic: I'm not batman!

I'm wholeheartedly sick of people telling me what a great parent I'd be. I hate children and never want them and am married to somebody who makes these sentiments appear to have been uttered by Mary Poppins.

My stock reply is that I would be a terrible father. They do not see this becuse at work, by day, I am intelligent, articulate, calm, mature... the ideal employee, really.

However... when my wife goes away on business, by night I revert to my adolescence. I dress in black , mask, gloves etc. and go and make all kinds of mischief. I set fires, run naked along streets blowing a whistle, write obscenities into playing fields with weed killer, etc.

When I was a kid, I used to encourage my yonger sibblings to follow my lead - which they did. I know I would be the same with a kid if I had one.

Should I tell people to get them off my back about parenthood, thus ruining my good reputation?

Last year we traveled halfway across the country to visit my husband's family. When we told them that we would be there we were told not to bring gifts for the adults since there are were 16 children in the family (18 this year -our kids plus 16 nieces and nephews). This is a lot of stuff to bring with us on the plane as it is so we appreciated not having to bring the extra packages. We got there and the gifts were passed out and we received several gifts (some were breakable). I really appreciate them but I feel that I shouldn't be receiving this if I'm not giving them, too. It is also extra stuff to bring home on the plane as we already need to bring home our children's gifts.
So, how do I tell them 'please, no gifts for the adults' without offending anyone? I'm tempted to tell them that everything broke on the plane home last year.

Why are there so many people who insist on answering questions in a rude manner. If someone doesn't like a question they don't have to answer it. Why do people in today's society feel it neccessary to belittle others? I would like to make it my goal to be nice to one person a day that I don't know, or really get along with. If you are with me let me know, and if you're not please don't leave rude comments. Thank you, and everyone have a bright, beautiful day!

For instance if a guy and girl are on a date and they end up having sex, is it rude if right after sex the guy wants to shower?

I notice the same people that do this do not wash their hands after touching money!

After you shower in the morning you tuck your clean member into your clean boxers and then put your clean pants on over them.....

Throughout the day you handle door nobs, water fountains, and money to name a few....

Most of all if it is so dirty then how can a partner put it in their mouth?

So why not wash your hands before touching your unit?

What would you do if you were in a bad marriage & wanted out..But in the process, your mother is totally against it & is all for your hubby who has lied to her about everything....said ugly things to you last night? She made the remark that "poor kids, they have a sorry mom" she said this just because I want a divorce. So, I asked her what she said just to see if she would take it back but she looked at me & said.."I didn't say anything" , so I proceeded to tell my hubby it was time to go and then she made another comment and I turned around & told her that she could say things to my face instead of under her breath. She then just outright lied & I told her so. Then I proceeded to rebuke her in Jesus's name & she got all bothered & my father go involved and told me to leave from our rental house that happens to be theirs. So, I calmy looked at them & said that I forgave them of what they said and God Bless them. What would you do? (I am going to look for a place this week)

I try to be courteous when i am in public places....walk to the right, hold doors for people. I am appalled at the percentage of black people that walk very slow down the center of a walkway and refuse to move when people are coming at them, they also commonly say nothing when you hold a door open for them, particularly black ladies...white, hispanic, asian people generally say thank you about 80% of the time....black people, maybe 40%...i have lived in many states, around inner cities and in upscale neighborhoods...no racial tensions or anything...its just anytown, US. I am not trying to be racial!!!! Its got nothing to do with color...we are all mixed breeds!!! It has everything to do with attitude...being positive goes a long way...it could make rasicm vanish if some people just stepped up and were more kind. Its not a "white" thing...its universal...being rude....I am saying this so that some black people with some grudge in their heart wont treat a respectful white person that way

The discussion about politics becomes very heated between two guests at a dinner party. The other guests are now becoming quite uncomfortable. Should the hostess intervene in any way or consider that among adults, any kind of discussion should take place? What to do?

This weekend I gave a homeless a dollar and he told me it was too little and asked me for another dollar. I told him if he is not grateful for what was given I'll take back his lousy dollar. Is a dollar too little to give a homeless nowadays?

I have a friend who's always pushing her religion. She's ask me numerous times if I got to church and knows I don't. Then, yesterday after telling me her daughter was dedicated to the church asked what I do on Sundays...

I wish she would bugger off with this...I don't go to church. I am smart enough to think for myself on how to be a good person. It's so annoying feeling like you are judged because you don't follow the sheep...ba! ba!

You know what I mean. There you are driving along when you reach a point when only one lane of traffic can pass. You stop and let the opposite lane go first. But what do they do - they just drive through with no word or action of thanks!

I'm in high school, do you think that it is arrogant to just go up to a group of people out of the blue and ask if you can sit with them at lunch or something like that. I know them all and they all like me and I like all them and I've known them for years even though we're not really close friends but I don't know if that's like inviting myself and it's arrogant and I should just forget it.

When in public we are going into a building, we sometimes look behind us and see someone else coming. How long should we have to hold the door or how close should they be to us for us to stand and wait on them ? 10 feet behind, 20 feet behind, 15 seconds behind ?

Ordered a calzone for delivery with my credit card. Got a call back 15 minutes later. They accused me of making harrassing phone calls, cussed me out, and refused to deliver my order. They said that the harrassing phone calls came from a blocked number but they thought/knew it was me harrassing them. I obviously didn't do it. She continued to yell ay me and cuss at me... so I asked for her boss, and she said that she was the manager. I drove to the place to get my credit card information and address back from the crazy person that called me cussing. She refused on the grounds that the owner took the information and left.

I want an apology from the lady that was rude, so I am getting in contact with the owner tomorrow. Whether or not the owner can get me the apology, I want to make sure as many people know about this terrible business etiquette as possible.

I need suggestions on how to get the word out. Thanks
