Etiquette - December 2006

IMy coworker keeps playing Christmas music loud. She's been warned not to (and I personally know if they have to warn her again, she will get a formal write up.)

I would let it slide and not care, but today she said to me " do you enjoy my music?" knowing good and well I don't celebrate christmas.

So, should i report her?

I'm a farter, in fact I enjoy it like some people enjoy a fine wine.
Butt heres my problem. I dont want anyone to know it's me farting. So generally I will move to another part of the office and let it loose and keep moving. Then others think that the person I farted by is the guilty person.
Is this proper social ettiquet?

I use the term "kids" with my friends (most of which are in their early 20's), and some have asked me not to call them that. What's so offensive? I feel that someone mature enough wouldn't be that sensitive, but maybe I'm wrong. Opinion?

P.S. In calling these people "kids" I am not making a reference to their maturity, merely using it as a term of endearment.

I have been invited to an evening party at an upscale home in So. California, where recommended dress is "Cocktail attire." I have the perfect little black dress...do I need to wear stockings? I am tanned, and prefer the look of my legs without stockings. What is appropriate?

My man is recently divorced (1 year) and his parents live in Denmark. He has met my family and spoken to my dad about our future, so I think the right thing would be that I send a card or a letter to them (the future in-laws) talking about how great their son is or something... I don´t wanna ask him as I want to surprise him with the letter or card. What do you think?

I asked If it is worth it to sue a store for False Advertising. Everyone that answered said it was not worth it. So am I supposed to let them get away with it?

I prefer to carry my own groceries and haven't had a problem before. The baggers at the grocery store I go to expect tips. I wouldn't mind giving them a tip for bringing my groceries to my car however, I don't have a car. My hubby and I take a taxi and he goes to get the cab while I wait with the groceries. It usually takes 15 minutes. Whenever we tell the baggers we can push our own cart because we are calling a cab, they give us very dirty looks. There were also a couple times where they pushed the cart about twenty feet and expected a tip. One lady even held out her hand for a tip. Personally, I feel that you need to earn a tip. Rudeness does not earn a tip. Also, I don't ask them to bag my groceries, I would do it myself if they would let me. If they want to push the cart out and wait for the cab, I would gladly give them a tip. Do you think I am being rude and how do you think I should handle this situation? Going to another grocery store is not an option.

I am in my 50's and I live in a one bedroom apartment with my hubby. I asked him why and he says they are lazy or drunk. I have alot of windows in my apartment, even over my kitchen sink. If you call the police on them they would be gone before the cops got to the property. What really gets to me is some of them that do it live here. I know that this has been going on forever, but it seems to me it is a growing habit. I see more of it now adays than when I was younger. I think the new generation has been brought up with no manners. I would of never liked of been brought up in the 80's or 90's, no one has respect anymore. No, I do not stand at my window all the time and look out, but I do like to look outside, and to have my curtains open as I live on the top floor. Respect for other people has gone down the all american drain into the sewer. Welcome to the the new stupid generation, and to the guys that would rather pee behind a dumpster than walk to a bathroom.

the usual swimsuit and firemen calenders? I think a "people who ride public transport (I'm one of them) would be funny as there are alot of weird people on there, an obese and anorexia calender, as well as a calender of people in embarrasing situations.

actually challenged? Most of the handicapped people I see have someone pushing their wheelchair for them, getting there food for them, helping them eat, helping them up stairs, and doing most stuff for them. How can you be challenged when you just sit there letting everyone wait on you? I see a few people actually struggling to get around on their own but the majority of them I see let everyone else wait on them. Not much of a challenge.

If you're in your supervisor's office and you're discussing something, and suddenly he receives a telephone call and picks up, what are you supposed to do?

Should you leave the room so as not to look like you're eavesdropping? Does it depend on the call you think he's receiving (personal vs. professional)? Should you stare at your feet? Or what? Any help would be appreciated!

One whistled and I just walked on, then another one said 'she's a slapper. I dont dress like a slapper (wearing my work uniform), dont look like one in any way and dont act like one. So why did he say this? Is it because he knows he can never get someone like me or what?
