Etiquette - December 2006

Why is everyone so sensitive these days? Why is it that I have to watch what I say out of fear of offending you? Why can we no longer say what is on our minds? When did all this start happening, and why? And most importantly when is all the Politically correct crap going to end, cause it's starting to really Pi_ _ me off!!!!

I know my regulars & they're great people, but I'm just the 'tender. So what do I do? It's kind of an "upscale" restaurant.

That is sick ...Animal know how to wean when their babies have teeth
The only reason for breastfeeding at that age is when you are very poor and starving and living in a third world country

I think so because a persons bite is way more toxic
Even if the bite is small you have to the doctor or hospital
police officers that have been bitten by criminals have almost lost their arm after waiting too long to go to hospital

Humans spread diseases way more than animls
Have you ever heard of an animal with a STD ....Never ...People are very dirty and when a animal bites people over react but never think twice about having sex with a stranger without a condom

And most dogs that bite are provoked

I watched Primetime on ABC and they showed a hidden camera special. It was about people who don't do anything when they see something not right. Like a boyfriend abusing his girlfriend at a public park. Or a woman abusing her boyfriend at a public park.
Very few people stepped up and said something.
What would you do?

Seriously, every year one member of our team out-does her last attempt to spend as little as possible on the exchange. Just when you think, it can't be any worse--viola, we have our group exchange (5 people total). This year, we each received a sinble slice of 3 different fancy breads in zip lock bags. I don't know if she really bakes this stuff herself or not, but it was nasty. The Christmas bag was nicer than the gift. We all make good money, but this person has trouble getting along with the other team members. It feels like she wants you know how little she thinks of you. Is there any correct way to get out of this next year?

So i'm going to the Holiday Bowl with friend and we're meeting some people at a nice resaurant before.
Am i supposed to dress nice for the restaurant and stick-out at the game, or casual at the resaurant and feel uncomfortable? Oh, and it's freezing cold.

Scenario: You have a child from a previous marriage. Your spouse's family gave your child some very nice and very thoughtul Christmas gifts. You in turn had not given the relatives gifts from your child. You take your child to Dave and Busters Christmas evening. As the child is cashing in his or her coupons for items, your child decides to spend coupons on the people that gave him or her Christmas gifts. The child decides to do so because it was mentioned to the child that the family had gifts for him or her.
Do you let your child gift them the cheesy gifts from the Dave and Busters award case or do you tell your child that you think it is very thoughtful of him or her to want to give them gifts and encourage your child to allow you to take them to the mall so they can purchase something more appropriate for the spouses family (i.e gift cards music, etc)
Is it tacky to allow your child to give whatever they see fit or do you think children need to be taught how to give gifts?

I notice anytime an argument between a white person and a black person starts, they always say the N-WORD when things get heated. Why is that? I'm watching "Real World Denver" and it just happened. I was also at the club last weekend and it happened. I'm white, and I have enough self control not to do this, but I find a lot dont. Why is that?

my college roommate (that I have no control about living with him or moving out), is a very disrespectful human being. He shows no compassion when he blares his dual 6 foot speakers at 3 AM on finals week. my living room looks and smells like a jumbo sized dumpster and it's 100% HIS mess. He always says something smartass to me no matter what the situation, for reasons I have no clue of. I've never been mean to him or have given him any reason to be like this. I've asked him to clean, I've begged him to let me sleep, I've talked to the housing office who could care less, i've tried bargaining with him, i've tried arguing with him. It just never ends. I'm trying very hard in college and I need my sleep and i need things to be sanitary. as a solution: you might think violence but I'll just leave it at "no comment." he obviously doesn't mind being covered in filth so i can't stink him into cleaning. What would YOU do??

I don't know what it is about girls who work at fast food restaurants but they are all rude and in general, complete bitches. It doesn't matter how they look (pretty, ugly, somewhere in between), they are all the same. I'am single, but I never hit on girls that work at fast food joints or at any other restaurant because I think that that would be totally lame. All I do when I go to these places is order my food and get out. I could care less about trying to hook-up with someone. I'am not an a**hole to them, I'am polite and unlike some people, I actually say "Thank You." Yet despite this, these girls are just completely rude. They act like someone ran over their dog or something. So what is it with girls and fast food jobs? Is it that these girls can't handle doing a little work?

I think we should be aware of what other people do for us: People who make our clothes, grow our food, build our homes, make our cars, build our roads, etc. Everything we use and have is created for us by someone. Does anyone ever think of that? We take allot for granted, don't you think? I am grateful for what I have but on a deeper level. What would happen if there were no vehicles like trucks to haul goods to shops, restaurants, super markets, malls, etc. What would happen if there were no farmers to grow food? I know we pay money for these things but, do you ever look at these things on a deeper level?

I live in one of those old-timey full-service buildings with a doorman, and at Christmas I always tip the guy on the day shift pretty heavily because I work at home and he does a lot for me during the day. I left an Xmas card with a fairly hefty check inside on his desk with his name prominently displayed on the envelope. According to my bank, the check already cleared. This is the first Xmas at our building for this particular doorman; in the past, I've always received a very nice thank-you card from the other doormen.

Should I ask him if he received my card? At some level, I feel like I'm "thanking" him with my gift, so it seems superfluous and selfish on my part to receive an acknowledgement that he got it. I'm torn about whether I should say anything to him. He obviously got the check and the card.

The pizza hut commercial where the man thinks the pizza man made a mistake and charged him the wrong price.Now if he had charged me the wrong price I would be honest and say heh.shouldnt that be a higher price then five dollars a pizza?but this man wonts to cheat the pizza guy.and the mistake might cost the pizza guy the difference. but any way you look at it, its dishonest.and they assume that everyone in the U.S. would take advantage of the mans mistake. I wouldnt. what do you think of advertiseing dishonesty,and saying thats it s fine to take advantage of peoples mistakes. and not being honest?I am never going to buy another pizza hut pizza. since they think its ok to advertise that dishonesty is OK to do.I never liked there pizza anyway.

How many of you out there think that it's absolutely rude for your boyfriend (or any other man that is in your home) to leave the toilet seat up? I had a boyfriend who used to do this, it would irk me like no other. I would feel so disrespected when he would leave the seat up. How do you feel about this??

I've been looking through some of my old pictures, and when my brother and I have our picture taken we both just stand next to each other smiling, with our arms down by our side. I also do this when I'm having my picture taken with friends or strangers.

I'm going on a trip soon, and I was wondering about the proper way to pose with other people. I don't really want to put my arm around someone.
