Etiquette - January 2007

There is an old bloke at my work who quite obviously doesn't wear any underwear. The younger girls in the workplace have noticed and have been telling everyone to check it out. I don't normally go around looking at other guys packages but when everyone is talking about something you have to check it out. Anyway, this lucky old git appears to be very well endowned and you can see the shape of his shaft clearly through his trousers. I've noticed that since the girls brought this to everyones attention that everyone in the office watches his crotch as he walks past and talks about it behind his back. Some (probably jealous) guys have started suggesting that he's some sort of pervert who has a little fiddle to make it grow a little before parading it in front of everyone.
Should I let him know what a topic of conversation his pecker has become?

and then yell at you for eating it?

Or if they keep it in there, not tell you that it is there? then yell at you for eating it?

i have a interview on Wednesday for a professional government position. I am not scared to go on the interview though i am just afraid that i will choke up and not know what to say. What are some typical interview questions that an agency in the Fed Gov will ask of an individual who is applying for a high status/high salary job?
i am also intimidated by having multiple interviewers on a board. any tips on how to get over this?

I have had a neighbor whose been a mouthy jerk, and has had his dog crap on my lawn and then deny it was not his dog. Ive witness his dog.do the dirty deed and.....

1. pissing in my bushes
2. wandering around without a leash

And my neighbor is a sarcastic big mouth jerk who likes to stick his nose into everyones business and instead of saying hello alwys has a stupid remark about something we have or are doing.

Hes also made comments to me about my yard on what i need to do to make it look nice to his standards.

He told me call the cops one time if you dont like it about his dog wandering in my yard but i never did because i know damn well the cops wont do crap.



I just hate the sight of him, even though his wife is nice.

he told me to stay of his property after we had words. Now when i see him he tried to speak with me, but i just acted like he was not even there. I dont want anything to do with him.

I don't know why but I do feel awkward. The saying it's better to give than to receive is certainly true for me!

I support this motion that YES it can be done cos our parents have done it ,,,its the thruth and i believe that freedom of expressing ones own moods and emotions cannot be rugged down on when it requires ..and YES when i,m around with my girlfriend or ny fiancee or my wife and its been done without any force its totally legal and it should not be a taboo or a big deal that it should not ,,,,,because today,s world is moving so fast and its all too cool to be done ,,i Totally agree with this ..

Could be doing your business, getting dressed, stepping out of the shower... anything that involves naked-ness. I personally think it's worse to walk in on someone, because then I don't want to look at them the rest of the day, whereas if someone walks in on me I usually just wave at them and grin and they run away all sheepish. So which is it for you?

There's been a lot of publicity recently in the UK about how parents are spending more and more on their children's parties, and are having to keep up with the Joneses by laying on more extravagant events and supplying more expensive goody bags. Do you think this is true, and if so what's the cause of it, do kids really want lavish parties or is this just the parents trying to outdo each other, how much do parties cost you, how does it affect you and the parties you organise, and is there any way (or wish) to return to good old-fashioned parties that don't cost too much?

sister, who is 28 and doesn't really like me - we think-or she's slightly upset that we're getting married as she's not married or in a relationship yet, to be our bridesmaid? If not a bridesmaid, something to do with co-ordinating but as her job during the week and at church is all to do with co-ordinating & organising, I think she'd probably feel more comfortable relaxing and not doing the same thing at her brothers wedding as she does at work!

It's really hard as she's always been slightly iffy with me/us and I just want a great relationship with my new sister-in-law! It's really hurtful for my boyfriend and I think it would mean a lot to him if she agreed. But how do I put it without her being offended?? It's either the co-ordinating thing or the bridesmaid thing... the other thing is that she'd probably have to pay for her own bridesmaid dress as I can't afford to pay for it as paying for my two little sisters (16 & 13) dresses...

Anyone been in this situation?!

happening, I was in full view of him and my mom, as I was looking at myself in the hall mirror, just preening myself, touching my hair and looking at my make up, you know, the usual girly stuff really and he called out, "You'll need to do more than that, love". I ran into the room and burst into tears. Am I too sensitive? Why did he say this?

Our neighbours teenage girls are harrassing us. They wolf-whistle at my partner and give me obsene gestures.
Is there something I can do about it? I don't want to have to think about going out in the garden. Re: previous similar question, beating them up is NOT an acceptable option.
I would like to know if there is a way I can report it and make it stop. It is annoying and invasive of our privacy.

I am working temporarily for an accounting firm, and during our busy (read: tax) season, a business casual dress code has been instituted by our firm administrator. Outside of the seemingly obvious (no jeans, t-shirts, flip-flops, etc), there seems to be a lot of room for interpretation. Thoughts?

Are you building the person's confidence or just lying to them? Aren't you just making it harder for the person?

My daughter is getting married next Sunday. Small, simple wedding, but I have no advisor and I didn't have a big wedding. There will be a Maid of Honor, Best Man, Flower girl, Ringbearer.

I think the Best Man is already in the front with the groom, so what about the rest,...and who does the Best Man walk the recessional with? The Maid of Honor?

Which side does her dad stand on when walking her down the aisle?

Which is the Bride's side and which is the Groom's side?

Is there a website I can go to for advice?

Thank you.

I thought integrity is an all-or-nothing deal. If there is a highest integrity, then it sure sounds like it allows some leaks or exceptions?

In another, this is a double standard, am I wrong?


PS: the company I work for, demand all employees to have this highest integrity thing. I just don't understand why ...

Today at church there were a lot of kids (both big and small) talking and making noise throughout the entire mass. I think the priest was even getting frustrated, although all these kids were in the back of the church and separated by glass doors. I could hardly hear anything the priest was saying. I felt like turning to all the people in the back room and yelling, "Shut Up!". I felt like going to the mass was a waste of my time. Does anyone think parents should take more control over their children?

Specifically, I will be seeing "The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny," if that helps at all.

I was just wondering what the proper attire would be at an opera like this; I don't want to be undressed or overdressed.

Thank you! :)
