Etiquette - January 2007

My mom taught me to do this when I was little. But I remember there was this report on 20/20 saying that he women's toilet seat is the cleanest place in public restrooms.

I have been in counseling for depression for 3 months and I feel perfectly fine now and I want to tell her that I am okay and do not need her services any more. I am worried where I might offend her. Can anyone tell me how I can tell her at the same time not offend her. I also wanted to give her a thank you gift..what would be a good gift? Thank you all for your replies in advance

I am known as the "accidental friend." I care about everybody and anybody, no matter who they are or what they say, even if I know all it is going to bring me is pain. People tell me that it is a gift, but at 25 I realize that it is not. Yeah! How naive of me?

I wish I could shut it off, but I can't. People who don't even know me can feel it and they know I care about them no matter how much it hurts. I guess I don't have 1 question here, but a multitude of why's, none of which can be answered. I have stopped talking or caring about people like I used to, but every now and then I feel that I should revert myself to the old ways, because I know they really miss the "old me" but then I'd be pretending to be someone I am not...Life! Why is it always cruel to people who give more than they take?

We had some relatives to stay over Christmas. My cousin has phoned today, to inform me that he has left a sock at my house and demands it back, since it has thrown his entire sock-timetable out of kilter.
I don't like my cousin, because he makes my son colour-code his books and toys. Should I return the sock? It is black with green stripes.

I am a communications major and have had multiple people over the years call it a "pseudo" or "fluff" major to my face. I never know what to say to them. How do I make myself appear credible in their eyes?

When I am at work my two dogs are left in my backyard. We live on a golf course, and my neighbor is repeatedly calling the cops/animal control about my dogs barking at the golfers. One day I stayed home (wasn't feeling well and also wanted to see if the dogs were really making so much noise). The dogs barked once, and within 10 seconds the neighbor was in her backyard... screaming at my dogs and telling them to "shut the f*** up". Am I in the wrong for keeping my dogs outside? If so, should I apologize? If she is just being a jerk is it appropriate to talk to her one on one? Thanks

I never understood this. If I get in an accident, people will say to me "I'm Sorry for what happened", but then I ask myself, Why? did you have something to do with it? Why appologize to me if you had nothing to do with what happened?

I really hate when little billy loses and the parents make an uproar to where now even the losers are winners with trophies and consolation prizes. What ever happened to competitiveness and striving to be better, are they not factors anymore because they hurt peoples "feelings".

some asshole today at work spit half eaten candy on the table of the break room. i am/was the janitor and had to clean it up so i put a sighn on the table that said "dont spit half eaten food on the table. you are not 3. you know who you are." soe one ripped up the sign and threw it away and told the boss and the boss said that i can not put up signs telling people not to do stuff and the next tie i did i would get in trouble. so i said "well i quit then" and walked out. it is one thing to clean the place as it gets dirty but it is another to have to clean up food that has already been in some ones mouth of of a table with a trash can right beside it. the peole there do stuff like pee all over the floor, throw toilet paper all over the bathroom, and spray hand soap everywhere in the bathroom. i said as i left "no wonder the last janitor quit". is it alright what i did with not putting up with there crap and letting them clean thier own messes or should they have the right to act like..

My cousin Raj who is 19 and I moved in together about 2 months ago. We share an apartment. I am 24 and just graduated from college. He is in school and working part time. Anyway, in the last few weeks my cousin Raj has been walking around in his underwear which kind of creeped me out at first but then I got used to it. I usually am always wearing my nightie or fully clothed when I am with him. He must have saw that I dont care much about it and then started walking nude from his bedroom to the kitchen to get something to drink or to throw something away. Again, I was creeped out but he has always been like a little brother. He then asked me if I mind that he is nude, and I said no as long as it isn't all the time. Well, now I am worried. The other day he came into the living room naked while I was watching tv. He started glancing at the television and then I noticed he slowly started to get an erection which stayed at 3.5 inches for about 10 minutes. It was hard not to see it. Help?

while smoking a cigarette, should they be asked to put it out by a customer who just happend by and decided to sit there? The area is a long distance from any entrance but there are soda machines nearby that create stray traffic. Yes, this happen to me and I got up rolled my eyes and took my ciggarette with me without a word. If I was not in uniform I would have pointed straight to the Smoking Permitted In This Area sign with the big red letters. Am I wrong for feeling that this was very rude of her?
