Etiquette - January 2007

***I have a coworker who is always on the phone, yelling one person or another. When she hangs up, she always boasts of her nastiness with remarks like "I guess I just TOLD her".
***I have people calling me, fussing about the medical bills they get from us b/c their insurance company assigned a deductible, denied the service as non-covered etc. These people are using chewing my *** when I cannot help that they got a bill.

So, tell me. Why do you think that people are so proud of the absolute rudeness? What kind of world will our kids & grandkids live in?

Espicially women? If they believe this makes them a better part of society than they were 25 years ago they are wrong. It just brings them down into the gutter with the men who do not have the intelligence of knowing how to talk. Why would you want to bring yourself down to that level ladies?

I have a friend who never kept soap in her bathroom, no matter where she lived. I took some nice bath and body hand soap this past summer when I was babysitting for her, and went there last month and it is barely used. I always have to look in the tub for shampoo or body wash to use something to wash my hands. I have even asked for her dish detergent before. I just wonder why people have no soap for themselves or guests in the bathroom.

He comes across as very shy before he would start talking to me. Does he fancy me? I get horny with him and thinking of him does he feel the same?

...or for that matter how they treat anyone who is in the service industry? ie. waitstaff, clerks, housekeeping, etc.?
What makes someone think that because someone has that job which this person deems as being subserviant to them, they are given the opportunity, and therefore the right to act like a complet a**hole?
Do you just hate people like that, and don't you feel sorry for the poor losers who are stuck with them?

The most embarrassing thing(s) just happened to me, a plumber came to my house to fix my toilet today, I was in my p.js when he got here- when I went over to the toilet to show him what was wrong, I bent over and flashed him MY plummer crack! I kind of tried to play it off.. "mmm.. maybe he didn't see?" ... then, after he fixed the problem, he opened my trash can to throw the old parts away .. AND!.. my husband had left a used condom RIGHT ON TOP! he tried to shove the old parts in, but when they wouldn't fit he pulled them out- and.. the condom stuck to the pipe. OH THE EMBARRASMENT! what could I do? I couldn't igrore that! I just laughed and said " Ah... I'm sooo sorry." He was So nice and professional about it- but I still feel Mortified!

These are the things she has done so far: She always stays at her boyfriend's apartment every night, which is fine. However, she comes home every morning at 5 or 6 AM to take a shower, brush her teeth, and change. Whenever she comes back, she slams the front, room the bathroom, and the closet doors, even if it is 5 AM. She turns on ALL the lights when she gets into the room, but never turns off any of them when she leaves. When she cooks in the kitchen, she leaves dirty pots and dishes on the counter and stove, with food still stuck on to it. After several days, when she finds time to clean them, she just dumps them into the dishwasher without rinsing the dried food off first. The dishes come out with food stuck on to it. She only uses the dishwasher for her own dishes, even though there are only 5 dishes in there and everyone shares the bills. She took back everything she brought to share, but continues to use the things everyone else brought. What can I do?

Okay. I am a college student and I have been e-mailing one of my teachers from last semester back and forth about things outside of school...In HER last e-mail she said I hope you have a great semester, so it seems like it would be a good time to stop because I don't have much else to say. Do I just stop or does something else need to be said??

I don't expect men to throw their coats over puddles or anything for me to walk across, but I am fed up with smart looking professional men barging their way in front of me when I'm trying to get on the train in the morning.

I was shopping with my girl yesterday, I was pushing the cart. She couldn't find something, she asked a member of staff and she told we should check out aisle 16. She said thank you. Since I was with her, should I also say thank you. But it kinda feels weird not to say anything and keep walking like a zombie. But on the other hand its kinda redundant thanking her again. What do you think should be done here.

My nieghbor that just moved in about 4 mos ago, is now laying claim to one of my trash cans. Swears it is hers even tho they just started using it bout 3 wks ago.Last night we argued about it, very loudly. Now I dont really care about the trash can what I care about is the fact that someone is going to steal from me and lie to me to my face about it! I feel like if I let her get away w/ this I might as well just invite her in to my house and let her take whatever she wants. My hubby says I m just b n a drama queen c/ I wont let it go I disagree. In the meantime I really dont want to start nieghbor wars. I have always got along w/ my neighbors and have never had to deal w/ anything like this. What should I do?
