Etiquette - January 2007

We are saving for a house, and do not want gifts, if we have no place to put them. Instead of registering, we would like cash.

I had mentioned at work how I was saving my spare cash to buy a new bike so I could participate in a charity Bike Tour in the summer. I am a one income family (mine) and I dont have alot of money to spare to save for this bike. One of my coworkers called a friend of hers who insisted on donating her old bike to me so I could train for this Bike Tour.

I am stunned at her generosity, and tried to refuse, and/or pay her for the bike. This woman refused. I dont even know her name. My coworker delivered the bike to me at work. How do i thank her and her friend for something so wonderful? A card seems okay, but not enough, you know? Especially for this perfect stranger!

What should I do to show them my gratitude? The kindness moved me to tears..

Thanks for your help.

speaking up and keeping the booty germs off the doorhandle keeps the nasty viruses out of you. i am talking about adults who know better, not just kids.

I've seen people do this, even go as far as patting the person's stomach and saying something else along the lines of "Maybe you should do more sit-ups" or some other line about putting it on.

Maybe I just weave too much into things, but I don't really think this is a very polite thing to do---especially out in public.

What do you think?

How does one deal with prodding people who always tell you that you "need" a bigger car, bigger this, bigger that? Our family car seats 4 people comfortably and we don't care for "big" things. We are happy with what we have, not what society and television commercials tell us we "need".

Are there people who automatically abide by very different rules from others? One of my good friends and I don't ask each other much, we just take turns talking. Then, when there's something to work through, we know enough to help each other out. Otherwise, we just talk. Often, we use stories that relate to the otehr person's to show empathy, or to show how things can turn out if the next move is (fill in the blank).
My boyfriend sees how others may perceive me as aloof and uncaring, because I don't ask much (show interest).
So, I think it's only the people who open up to me who feel cared for...
And yes, I could learn to show it more...
but I really don't like to be nosy.
Anyway, I wonder if there's a general social concensus in America, if it's easy as "Please" and "Thank you", or if there are multiple sets of social rules that work better for some than others.
Thank you!

The reason I ask is because I don't, and I don't know I'm alone in this or if other people deal with the same issue.

Especially if the group of strangers all know one another, and they're sitting or standing around talking to one another, I feel strange approaching the group and introducing myself.

Even when the group doesn't know one another, I still don't know what to say to introduce myself and enter the conversation without seeming like I'm eavesdropping on the previous conversation, However, I don't want to go to networking events and not meet new people either. Do you do this often? If so, how do you enter the conversation?

This is question for everyone. I want to know if I am over-reacting to something I heard Persia say on the MTV reality show "White Rapper."

I just got home and there was a note from our apartment leasing office saying that this is a first complaint notice of noise. Before, the neighbors said they could hear our bed squeak and hear constant feet-we have two small pugs! any suggestions? we have watched our bedroom noise-should we go talk to the people below us?

I was at the park with my little brother and I saw two people who looked like they were in there 80's making out. It made me sick to my stomach, and had to get my brother away from such disgusting behaviour. Should people that old be arrested for such disgusting behaviour?

Guys adjust their "package" and nobody gasps.

And by "adjust" I don't mean showing anything, but just..well, adjusting them.

Thanks for the answers, lol.

When I read some peoples answers to others question I must ask myself what is this person thinking. I mean some people ask good questions to make just and good decisions on topics such as child care and some on here feel it needed and funny to berate a person for doing just that. I think instead of resorting to name calling or being annoying we need to encourage others and offer them sound moral advice when it is warranted. Am I the only one who feels this way.

My God - everyday there are like 25 people asking for approval of their lame baby names. Half the names I see I pity the poor kids because they have an every day beating at school if their parents stick with them.

Since when did people need a consortium in order to name their kids??? Sheeeeesh.

I should start a business that puts chidren's names together.

Move on people

I always wondered... If there are 4 stalls in the bathroom and I am in one on the end, why does someone pick the one right next to me even though all the others are open. You can clearly tell I am in that one because the door is closed. I mean do I really need to hear someone peeing or whatever bodily functions right next to me? Ewe.
