Etiquette - December 2006

I live in an apartment with thin walls and wonder if my neighbors can hear my hair dryer. That made me wonder if it is more annoying to turn the hair dryer on high for a short period of time or turn it on low for a longer period of time. What do you think?

Just seems gross and germy, to me. People cover their mouths when they cough for a reason - to stop spreading spit, which transmits all your icky fluid-borne diseases. I don't wanna read a book after someone puts their spit on it!

I'm trying to find the nicest way possible because the stories seem to get worse the more I hear them.

I live in a one bedroom apartment and my neighbor directly below me is really asking for a beating but I don't want to end up in handcuffs. I am really being provoked and, in my opinion, harassed. Nothing overt or anything I can really document to the police, just a good old fashioned but whipping is what this calls for but I'm afraid he'll call the cops and press charges on me. I am half way through my lease so moving would cause me some financial hardship, but I am seriously thinking about it (moving).

If it's not practical for me to move then what's the best way to keep from blowing my top and beating this guy up?

Well, my so called "best friend" and I just spradically ended our friendship-I tired to make it work, but when I saw she wasn't putting effort-I too stopped trying-I wasn't going to haul as s for nothing. So, I truly belive there is no such thing as "best friends"-since in a min. they can become your worst enemies-these are people you never ; ever thought could betray you. Any who, so I only belive in true friends-and yes, they are hard to find, and so far I am very lucky to have some who I feel are in the same page as I, and our friendship will only keep growing, and I hope to God, these are my long life friends-they are why I wake up and smile to God. So, what is your opinion on labeling friendship; BFF or just keeping it friends*?

Happy New Year,

I just returned from a chamber music concert that took place in a church. I attended alone and was seated next to a man who snored through much of the first performance. At intermission, he got up and disappeared and then returned for the second performance and promptly fell asleep again and began snoring. The place was packed and there were no other available seats. Since I didn't attend with this man, I didn't feel it was appropriate to nudge him or in some other fashion let him know he was being rude. We were seated in the middle of the church, so motioning for an attendant would also have been inappropriate. I don't know if it bothered the people seated on the other side of him. I didn't think to mention it to the attendant at intermission.

What would you have done, if anything?

Does anyone else find it wrong that Saddam Hussein's hanging can be found on YouTube? I know he was a horrible person, but jeez....
So much for the government wanting to give him a respectable death....of course it would be put on YouTube?

What are your thoughts on this?

Shopping for panties and bras and wanted some panties from the 5 for 25 table. I got to the register and my total was way higher than it was supposed to be......I asked why?.....she tried explaining and told me to tell the woman at the front to help me(she was white)

I simply walked up to her smiled and said which one on the table here are 5 for 25. She said all of them and I told her what happened.

She went and told the people at the register that I was totally upset and that I was really mad at them which was completely untrue. She made it seem as if I were the angry black woman who was about to beat everybody up in the store

Do you think it had anything to do with race or am I looking too deeply into it?

You work with someone and have to smell them everyday at work and everyone talks about that person behind his back, about how raunchy he smells....how do you go about it? DO you tell them? Can you get fired? How do you say "gee you smell like pits and a**."

I was having lunch with 3 female coworkers and we started talking about attractive men, flirty customers, etc. Nothing too graphic. But then 1 woman started talking about how handsome this 1 guy is, yadda yadda, then adds that he is black, with a big smile on her face. I respond with added interest, "Oh, really?" One of the women who was white stands up and says "Thats disgusting. I wouldnt waste my time" then leaves.
Now, Im 38 yrs old and have heard it all. I work in a dept with all men so it gets pretty nasty, if ya know what I mean. But this comment from this woman was just so...friggin rude, derogatory, and downright sh*tty that it basically made my stomach turn. I was at a loss for words when Ive got the biggest mouth in the place. This was yesterday.
My question is, should I just let it go? Should I just realize that this woman is a closeminded rag and simply never talk to her again? What would you do?

To me, it sounds like you're calling yourself a loser when you say that.
