Etiquette - January 2007

Since the genders are unkown, I believe I would address them in a single letter as "Dear X. Xxxxx and Y. Yyyyyy:" (insert first initial and last name of recipients). Am I right???

In the actual address, which is the same for both, would I just use the same concept (one line for each)?

It's just something that I've been doing over the last year. I don't find them attractive, but something about watching them poop in the community bathroom is just so fascinating. I like hearing them drop off and splash. Should I reveal my secret to them? What should I say?

yesterday , the singer who was amazing and beatiful and had a great talent to be a singer killed herself .. by hanging at her home while her faimily had gone ..
many people who knew her or were close are a shocked .
the reason she committed suidcide was reportly melancholia which she had had .. but the mother said she thought her daughter was cure and didnt consider it so much ..
but the problem is that she was really suffering from so many unreasonable view of her from many people ... i mean they visit her blog and left a lot of swords you can't imagine .
most people who knew her even a little , she was so sensitive that she couln't stand those things .
so she maybe killed her self for those things ..
i think it is about time for us to decide which is the best ways to restrain many bad people from humiliating a weak person!!!!!!!!!!

1. the law should be made that people whoever use the internet have to use their real name so they can take a responsibility of what they have done .

2. no!!!.. using real name can't be a good way and harm to the internet culture that everyone feel safe talking thier opinion ..

...but can you give any tips for a lady to turn down a guy gently without totally bursting his ego bubble? Ex. if the guy is persistent and she doesn't want to be mean. He's not obnoxious, just a bit of a pest.

who believes that the cook shouldn't clean? My mom always taught me that the cook should never have to clean, but it seems like no one else was brought up that way... or at least my husband wasn't...

When you are at a dance, what is a nice way to say 'no thank you' when someone asks you to dance. I would rather not let anyone else see that I said 'no' or make the person feel bad. Would the same answer apply if they asked you to 'go out' with them? If not, could you tell me how to say 'no thank you' to that too? Thanks!

I think we need to be polite to the askers whom we have never met before. I wonder why some don't respect their opinions, ideas, proposals, etc. To be humble is appreciated among educated scholars worldwide. Any ideas or solutions, thanks.

I dont like that many black people. I dont have any black friends.
I don't know what it is but most of the black people i have met are obnoxious, loud, have no manners cant speak proper english, are wannabe gangsters, drug addicts, act hard and wonder why they get pulled over by the police.

Its not because your black its the way you act!

Some get upset when you call them "African-Americans" because they say they're not Africans. Some get upset if you call them "Black" because they say people shouldn't be defined by their color.

I'm confused. Since I write for a local newspaper that reports on crime, I need to refer to them often and I need to know what is the correct way. For example:

"Five African-American males raped a white woman, and shot her execution style after"

is going to get protests from those who say they are not African. But:

"Five Blacks raped a white woman, and shot her execution style after"

will get those who protest about using a color to define them angry.

I don't know what to use, and the letters to the editor keep piling up.

If you are single, you are not the one who is doing anything wrong, YOU didn't take any vows, so why should you care? If they pursue you..

Is it bad? If you are not trying to take them from their husband or wife, you are just providing them fun and someone to have good fun with and physically?

I help manage an office when the main boss is away, and every so often I get into these weird exchanges with a senior employee. She starts off with constructive criticism, but seconds later is essentially ripping into me for ruining her life, destroying her morale, not setting an example for the entire office, and even blaming me for getting her sick. I don't see her that often, and 95% of the time she's very jovial and friendly. But about every 4-6 months she has a major meltdown and it seems I'm the one to take the brunt of it. Everyone else in the office says I'm great and fun to work with. Any idea how to deal with this odd personality and her flare-ups? It's making me want to avoid her more and more.

Do you think it is unethical for a supervisor to talk bad about his employees with other employees.

I have recently found out that my maid of honor has been lying to my fiance and I on some serious issues. She has also been trash talking me to mutual friends,other bridesmaids, and even aquaintences. She is also taking credit for some of the helpful things my fiance and I did for a mutual friend. (We paid for the friends entire wedding and kept it between us, her, and the friends gettin hitched.) I have no "proof" but the person that sat me down and told me.(EXTREMELY RELIABLE!!!) This person does not want me to tell the maid of honor it was her who tattled for fear of retaliation. (Understandable when the MOH has a rep for doing such) How do I approach this? Do I let it slide? She has never treated me like this (to my knowledge) before but in the past 5 yrs.I've seen it happen to others. I guess I should've known it would happen to me sooner or later but I looked the other way. I'm payin now. I don't want a blowout fight before the wedding but how do I stomach her in it? HELP!

I am a nice guy who does his job well and works hard everyday. I have a co-worker and she treats all the other people in my dept with fairness and respcct ... all but me. She is immature for her age and seems jaded towards life. She was cool to me when I started but now she is ignorant to me and is not respectful to me. I do not know what I did and she seems to keep it up. I tried 'killing with kindness', but it doesn't work. It's getting to the point where I do not like going to work in the morning. Please help. Thanks.

I have a female cousin with a disgusting bathroom habit. She's almost 40 yrs old and she won't sit on anyones toilet seat but her own (her entire immediate family is also like this).
She often comes to my place for movies,dinner,etc.
When she goes to the bathroom she squats over the toilet to do her business. When I go in the bathroom behind her I find that she's "sprayed" all over the seat (she makes NO effort to clean up her mess)!!!
Once in the past I questioned her on this and that's when I found out about the toilet seat phobia.
I am insulted that she thinks she's going to get some kind of disease from my toilet and I'm appalled at her "spraying" like some kind of animal.
This past weekend I almost confronted her in front of guests to teach her a lesson but then decided to talk to her in private.
Should I ban her from coming over (I really don't want to)?
Should I ban her from using the toilet in my home?
What would YOU do?
