Etiquette - January 2007

My daughter will be a 3rd generation police officer. I want to give her something that reflects that plus honors her occupation choice. She has already recieved the typical graduation gifts when she got her bachelor's degree.

Hi, help me here. So, you're sitting on a dinner table and you have 3 forks.

Usually there are 2 forks.

1) Salad fork.
2) Main course fork.
3) The top of the plate is for dessert spoon and fork.

What the heck is the 3rd fork for? Fish? And is it possible to set a fish fork and not serve fish?

Ok as an overview, the apartment complex I live in has 12 units. There are 6 on each side, 3 bottom and 3 top. I happen to live on the top one in the middle (bad luck!). The neighbors to to the left are 2 white chicks that are in there early to mid twenties. They always come home late, even on weekdays and stomp up the stairs like they are cows. Though they look fit they stomp very hard and cause our dog to bark. We have talked to 1 of the girls and all she says is that we complain too much about them. They now stomp up and down the stairs harder now. To the right side of the is a mexican family that has 2 children. Those kids are just as bad as the white chicks along with them slamming their door. No matter how nice we ask them to stop they constantly continue being rude.
We have talked to the manager AND the owner and neither of them does anything or at least talk to the other tenants. What to do? The only other thing I can think of is to play loud music in return...????

When using cash, there are two ways that customers will pay: they will hand the money to you or they will place the cash on the counter for you to pick up, whether in-or-out of reach. I've always found it very rude and condescending to put money on the counter when the cashier has an outstretched hand, ready to collect. And as a customer myself, I always wait until they are ready, then place the money directly into their hand. I've noticed, though, so many people don't...even many of my nice customers. Is it a cultural thing? How do you hand money to your cashier when paying? Putting yourself in the position of cashier, or sharing your experience if you've had this type of job, how do you feel when a customer disregards your hand and places the money down for you to pick up?

Hi. I am going to a social event with my husband. The social event is for my husband and his co-workers. The spouses will be there (mainly wives) and all of the wives are pretty much best friends. I have gone to events in the past with them and they have always made me feel invisible (no matter WHAT)...I have tried talking to them and have tried being social - doesn't work. So, usually I am left in the corner somewhere looking on and feeling sorry for myself. I am a very outgoing and social person but, around this crowd it's like I am a whole different person and it's horrible. I know 2 other wives but, I am not really close to them...but, I was hoping that they would make me feel a little more at ease...but, I don't want to attach myself to them the whole night...my husband will be socializing with his co-workers and I don't want to be following him around the whole night. Can anyone offer me any advice? Has anyone else experienced anything like this? The wives obviously don't like me

I have a friend that asks to borrow money about every two weeks. I lent it to him at first because I thought I would be nice. It's never that much money, usually just $20. But it's the principal off the thing. And he never pays me back. It's not that I mind loaning him money or need to be paid back. I just don't want him to be asking me to loan him $20 for the rest of my life. How do I kindly say what I am thinking ("No, get a job and quit asking me for money") without sounding like a jerk?

My Grandma is 82 years old, and has money. I know I probably wont see anything from her, I would like to see a financial memory. Every christmas and every birthday my grandma gives me 30 and 20 dollars respectively. It was great when I was 7 years old, but now at 29 it just makes me think about her and call her. so if she dies soon, she can have that set up to payout. She gives the same to all grand kids and i think it would really help in remembering her when she is gone.

Whats the best way to ask her about this, and would you ask your own grandmother to do this? Thanks

I can't stand hearing children swear. I regularly hear kids using the 'f' and 'c' words and others ( I think you get the picture) in front of their parents. You know how children are, they don't just say it, they yell it at the top of their lungs. Is it just the way things are now?

I just bought a beautiful condo right at the beach, I work with alot of people some of which I dont get along with..I want to have a housewarming party, but I have a couple of questions:
1) Should I have the party even before I buy my furniture?
2) I have very expensive taste, is it fair for me to register for things I know some of my coworkers cant really afford?
3) Should I invite everyone at work even those people I HATE and dont get along with?
4) My apartment is in the suburbs and I work in the city, there are some people that dont drive and it will be very hard for them to get there unless they take a 2 hr train ride...should I arrange transportation or is that to much?
Thanks in advance.
