Etiquette - January 2007

I've noticed that there are some viewers on this site who are rude to people who either ask or answer questions. I myself have met a few, although I don't know why. Do you have anything to say about such viewers? Why do you think they are rude on this site? Thanks for sharing.

This bugs me a bit, but I can be at a store wearing regualr jeans. They are not tight, not short, no stains. They are a regular pair of jeans and women stare at them in front of me KNOWING that I can see them. Same thing at college; I can wear a regular plain shirt or a black jacket that looks normal and isn't tight. Women stare at my clothes which are plain for over a minute and I am only 5 feet from them. Why do they have to stare knowing I can see them? NO, it's not a lust stare and it's not a stare of interest, it's more like a hard stare. Please tell me if you have any good reasons it's rude and annoying!

I gave my mother diamond earrings for her birthay. It took me an hour to pick them out, and about $400 to walk out of the store with them. Gift wrapped, bought insurance for them, etc. You should have seen her face when I presented them to her; you'd have thought I gave her a pair of glow-in-the-dark flip-flops or something. Her reaction was soo blah. "They're fine" she says. She doesn't like them, but doesn't want to exchange them. Her reacion really hurt my feelings. Should I say something about it?

As children, we always called our neighbors, "Mrs. Jones" or "Mr. Smith", and in most cases so did our parents. Close friends of the parents were often called "Aunt Betty" or "Uncle Frank." Our friend's parents were "Mr and Mrs Thompson." This is not back in the dark ages--it was still happening in the 80s. We would never dream of calling adults by their first names.

today, i took my 5 month baby boy to taco bell. as i was enjoying my meal, my son, Ryan, let out a big fart. the lady sitting at the next table looked at me and said, "excuse you, but someone's trying to eat here!!" in a really loud voice.

i told her it was my son, who had farted and she replied, "whatever" in a really stuck up tone, and made a disgusting face at me. i was soo humiliated, because this lady was so loud, that all the people near us knew what was going on.

myy husband says im making a big deal about this. am i overreacting? if so, how should i handle this situation?

This guy in my neighborhood still has his up, and occasionally I see other homes, so what's up with that?

and be polite, but they are cold as ice. Don't say it's always the customers who are rude because that is not always true.

I just got a gift from my friend. It is a shirt that is not at all my style. I was shopping with him and I was kidding about the shirt. And a month or so later, he buys it for me. I am pretty good friends with him, but I didnt expect a gift. He knew better than to get me the shirt. But he we very sincere with it and expected me to actually enjoy it. Now I dont know what to do. I am afraid of hurt his feelings by just getting rid of it. But I will never, ever wear the shirt. I'm afraid he is gonna ask why he never sees it. I said thank you and was appreciative. But what now?

My date is wearing a tux. For my dress, is short or long more appropriate? Are thin straps okay for a winter event? If my date is wearing black, would a brown dress look awkward?
