Etiquette - January 2007

It as a long day and we all found out that we had to stay an extra hour and school starts again tomorrow for most of us. Then when it comes time to clean up I'm out cleaning and most of the others are sitting around. When I am finnished I find everyone eating free pizza, but there is none left for all of the people who were just cleaning. I lost it. These people were the same ones who complained the loudest at having to stay and then did nothing. Was it so wrong for me to loose my temper?

I am interested in going to a nude beach or clothing optional beach with my friend Jessica. She told me that she will be wearing a bikini but doesnt care if I go naked. Well, I am wondering should I tell her I may get an erection in front of her? Or should I not bring it up? I am afraid I might. I just dont want to have 3.5 inches staring at her and her to be shocked.

Sitting outside your house or apartment with the bass turned all the way up. Just curious 'cuz it's happening right now. I dont mind hearing it for a few seconds, but when they sit there for over 5 minutes...ugh. I would tell the office, but it's just sporadic enough not to mention it.

I've thought about getting in my truck and drowning them out with some Fantomas (truly annoying to people who aren't fans).

How many do you typically send out?Do you write lengthy notes in each one? Or do you shove a picture in and sign the family's name? What do you do if you receive a Christmas card from someone whom you did not send one to and now it's after Christmas?

I'm just asking to see what other people do.

I do not own a cell phone and most likely never will. I find it atrocious the way that people flip them open and start discussing the most intensely personal things in a very public sort of way. I was raised to excuse myself and take the call in another room. When life became modern enough, I had an answering machine installed to accept the calls when I had guests. I find it unconscionably rude to be talking on the phone when one has company. Many of my own friends behave this way and I let them know that I find it objectionable. Do manners have to go out the window just because of technology? I would beat my children senseless if they flipped open a cell phone at the dinner table. It's like watching television during dinner. Uncivilized and socially unacceptable. I think its time that we put cell phone behavior back on the hook. How do you deal with this boorish behavior?

I return to work tomorrow from the XMas holidays, and one thing I'm not looking forward to is seeing a particular colleage, who a week and a half ago asked whether I'd like to pose nude for her, holding a halibut, for her art course. This would require me in the nude for two hours on three evenings. She is a sensitive woman, and is demanding an answer. If I say no, she may be very upset.

My family and I started using this brand new trash container about 2 1/2 ago. I remember the first time I used it I thought, "Man, this makes sense." Finding out I was patentable is another story, Well, after using this trash container for 2 1/2 years, we have seemed to forgotten the difficulties of using a contemporary trash container. Please give this some thought. First of all, have you ever had a hard time holding the container to the floor as you are removing the trash bag, even if you're not disabled this proves to be difficult at times. What's the cause of that problem? 2nd problem, we all know that they sometimes smell like trash. Third, are these problems worth fixing, 4th If you could! Would Making it E-Z make scents?

I am wondering the proper way to state that the birthday is a surprise. I don't want to put Shh... it's a surprise. Would you write:

Mrs. Jane Doe requests the pleasure of your company at a surprise party in honor of Mrs. Jane Smith's birthday.

I am going for formal, so the wording has to be right, but I'm not sure how is should be. Thanks!

Sometimes I just sign onto IM so that my friends can easily reach me if they really need or want to. I might not start a conversation the whole time I am on, even if I notice that a good friend is online. (I like chatting with my friends, but don't need to do it every day, especially if I have just seen or spoken to them.) Is this rude? What if, instead of a friend, it was a boyfriend/girlfriend?

I met this girl who lives in Mexico. I sent her an e-mail and she replied within one day. So I sent a reply to her. It has now been 5 almost 6 days and she still hasnt written back. I just wanted to know if the Mexican culture was more relaxed with contact or if it has anything to do with it at all. Thanks for the replies.

My grandfather is in very poor health and he isn't getting any better.

Today my parents are going out to see him and they said it was up to me whether or not I wanted to go "see" him (meaning sitting by his bedside and just sitting/standing there as he probably can't speak well, he's got some sort of sickness I'm unsure of what it is)

It could be one of the last times I see him. But I don't really want to because I want to remember him how he was before (not dieing or sick). Plus I spent three hours or so with him on Thursday or Friday.

What should I do? What would you do?

I work with three Indians who occasionally converse in their native tongue in front of me and other colleagues, when English is the official language in Australia.

Do you think it is impolite?

Thanks

It's a letter in which I list all my accomplishments and ask for a recommendation from my principal. I'd like to close it with something that shows how appreciative I am, etc. Suggestions?

even if people are asking for something, is it impolite and or wrong to tell them "to get a job,and stop leeching off the rest of working society" why do people have to work, and "fit in" as the expression goes, if they do not want to" also, is it rude to think in terms of "bring back the draft" what is the matter with not voluteering or "fighting for this country" or at least, is it not something to complain about, or try to force a person into?

I was talking with someone... like 10 minutes ago, and we were discussing new years. I said my resolution would be to stop sneezing. She said I should be more mature... I don’t get it. Are jokes no longer acceptable in society? I’m an young teenager, 14. I don’t want to be rushed into anything serious. I guess I can be a little immature at times. I don’t know. How can I be mature, and what are signs that I'm being immature?I don't always want to be a smart person, that can be annoying. Maybe I'm too smart for my own good, I dont know what to do with myself.

I will appreciate any answers that are logical, and make sense.

I don't know why I do this, but it just happens. A few days ago, my aunt told me that her friend's dad had just passed away, and I started belting out the tune to the hit single "Another One Bites the Dust." It just happened, and I couldn't control it! It happens at school, too, and I get in trouble. Any tips to help make '07 a good and comment-free year, or at least, try to control my commentary?
