Etiquette - January 2007

i am recently employed in a compony where i am just only more than a month now.. since i had been employed there is this employee which i think hates me? i dnt know if "hate" is the right word which i should use. since she asks my age and knew that where the same age and the youngest of the employees everything i do would have a comment to her or is a big deal which in my part really tearing me apart. once i use a chinese colar blouse then she said laughing pinpointing me which she thought i didnt hear, "lady guard haha!!" (because of the chinese colar)i just didnt said anything but ofcourse i was annoyed, what a disrespect and insult to me right? even anyone would be annoyed as days passes i begun to learn how to defend myself ofcourse i would esp. if i know i had a point..and when i was assigned to a new table apart from her, i begun to have a peace in mind and self confidence that im not that person that could just be insulted and just keep quiet and its okay... but 2day i realized

So I got this voice mail after my phone was off for a few days and it was this girl saying..."I got a call from this number..and idont want you to call me anymore like because i dont know you so dont call again. You called me at like midnight. ok bye."

Ugg weirdo... So if i get a call from a number i dont know and they dont leave a voice mail i dont call the number back and leave a rude message.

What do you do? Do you call the number back and leave a rude voice mail or say nicely that it was a wrong number or do you ignore it?

i think most people could benefit from a sense of humor here. make me laugh with your answers.... and try and offend as many ignorant people as you can in the process. that way everyone wins.

We're having another one of our famous dinner parties. I've invited 18 people, most of whom are couples. Bitsy & Walter are sitting next to Vivian and Michael, and across from them I have in left order Stella & Stewart, Father Tim, and Arthur S. Bitsy LOVES Father Tim and thinks he's a scream. Michael has said some causting things about him being a "gay" priest, but I told him that Tim is mannered and there is a difference. Arthur S. IS gay. Bitsy insisted I put them together. She thinks they may like each other. I told Bitsy that thats immoral, that he is a man of the cloth. She told me I am being a prude. I'm concerned about what is going to happen if I leave this arrangement like this. Michael WILL say something if he even IMAGINES something going on with Arthur and father Tim. I would be mortified. I cant uninvite ANYONE. I can't move Father Tim because he and Arthur are the only unpaired people at the table. I'm worrying myself sick and I haven't chosen the wine yet! What do I do?

I read somewhere that sucking chopsticks is considered bad manners and, specifically, it has sexual connotations.

I think I saw it in one Hong Kong kungfu movie (Jackie Chan's "Project A" if I remember correctly); where there's a scene in which a bunch of guys were flirting with/teasing a few girls in a restaurant and one guy does that. But maybe I may have misinterpreted the scene.

However, when I asked a Southeast Asian friend of mine about this, he said he couldn't recall this being bad manners.

Is it really true ? Or is it considered rude only in some parts/countries of Southeast Asia ?

My family just moved into a new housing complex with a members-only pool and jacuzzi, but the office hasn't given us a key to get through the pool gate. Me and my brother wanted to go swimming today so we climbed over the fence and started swimming. There was on old mean lady who was in there and she asked us why we cilmbed over, and we said we don't have our key yet. Then she left and a few minutes later, the manager of the housing complex came out and told us to leave. I said that we jsut moved in and that we don't have our key yet, and she still told us to leave because we "aren't allowed to climb over the fence". Is that ridiculous to you? Why are people so mean and bitter that they get joy out of kicking someone out of using a pool?

Whenever there is a group project assigned, I'm the one in the group that does all the work. It's been like this for 4 years. It's so frustrating to. Because just when you think, "hey, this group isn't so bad! I won't hav to do all the work!" But then the day before the project is due, everyone else in the group either ignores your emails, phonecalls, and im's but you end up having to do all the work anyway!!! And trust me, I've tried slacking off to show them how they acted. But then they just said that I was a total fu&k#n idiot and it's my fault they failed the class!

Ok so heres the story-

June 2006 - Sat. morning walk to car to get in for work and discover writing in pink lipstick all over the window, a heart drawn with an arrow through and my live in boyfriend of 5 years initials.

Nasty emails off and on throughout the rest of 2006..on myspace and no way to track them.

Dec. 31st/Jan. 1st- tires are slit on my new car so perfectly that they werent flat when i got in it, but blew out dangerously when i drove it. police took note of this and i told them about prior incidents.

Jan 2nd- hear a car door slam at 1:30 in the morning, so i run outside and see nothing, check my backup car (the one with slit tires is in the shop being safety checked), and now there another heart in lipstick all over the window.

Jan 3rd- boyfriend car gets a heart drawn on it in lipstick.

Cant figure out who it is, nobodys seen nothing, no tracks, no nothing. took pictures of everything and police wrote down incident with slashed tires.

What can i do?

I don't have much stuff, a one BR with practically no furniture and I made all my own boxes. Do I tip them on the day they load or upon delivery? Or both? I am thinking both because the crew may not be the same. Should I then divide how much of the total I had planned on tipping by two and divvy it up between both days? I have never moved this far before and don't know the etiquette and would appreciate any and all answers!

If you are trying to get to know someone or express concern about them, but their eye contact is limited and brief (they'll look at you briefly and then respond quietly while looking towards the ground), would you find that offensive or take it personally? Would it turn you off of talking to the person?

I got into an argument with this guy over how opinions can't be right nor wrong and he asked me what 1+1 is.

I said "two".
He said "Well I say it's three and it's my opinion. But that's wrong. So opinions can be right as well."

Can he NOT distinguish between facts and opinions or did the pot really "open up his mind like" he said it did and now he knows everything (sarcasm)?
