Etiquette - February 2007

I'm one of those people who just can't say "no" to someone. This may be a good thing, but unfortunately in some cases, it's not! LOL..How can I kindly decline an offer to a friends house, sleepover, or social event that I really don't want to go to?

One of my friends has been getting a lot of IM's from random people claiming to be from Ghana, nigeria, india etc. She always politely responds and talks to them. Then they all end up harassing her to send her photo, webcam and they claim to love her and when she says no they call her names and say shes a hateful person. She has blocked them all but as this happened to anyone else?

Why is it that men are so shallow. I understand the whole visual concept of picking a mate, (girlfriend). But why is it that they seem to go beyond the norm of tactfullness, (so to speak). To just be outright ignorant? Where have all the gentlemen gone?

she seems really nice and I have seen her with deoderant in the rest room (so you know its bad). But she smells really bad and she smokes, its hard to be in the same room with her at times. So how should I tell her, everyone talks about her, behind her back.
What should I do?

I work in a big office. We have lots of bathrooms with many stalls in each. How can anyone take a huge messy dump & NOT FLUSH THE TOILET WHEN THEY GET UP TO LEAVE? Why do they not flush their own waste? They leave it for the unrfotunate bathroom atttendant? ugh. gross.

My Boss' Boyfriend, who works with me, keeps sending me provocative e-mails, he has a habit of doing this with many women in the office. There have been previous incedents, that have turned nasty, he always manages to get off scott free, because his woman fights for him.

The more I avoid him, the more he pesters me. I don't respond to any of his mails, but this doesn't seem to deter him at all.
What should I do
?

Lets say you are sitting alone at a coffee shop or at diner somewhere and a random member of the opposite sex sits at your table. Assuming this guy appears to be a normal person (not a serial killer), is that weird? Nice surprise? What would your reaction be?

do you wave or say thank you or something. For me I kind of over do it, I smile and wave at the driver.Then the driver has an expression on their face like what a weirdo. What do you do

to request that we do not go near each other for a couple of days until all the "meat" has been processed throughout his system?

I mean, I can't imagine kissing him after that, or being nearby when any bodily functions erupt ... I'm going to ask him to use the guest bathroom too.

I am a vegetarian, and I just am really truly grossed out about this.

I gave him no problem about going, so he should give me no problem about this request, right?

Thanks for your opinion!

And I'm single, I don't have any kids/wife, I just used to be fairly good friends with my friend... till he got married with kids. Should I bring a gift? (as I don't have any kids that he could return the favor to) What should I get? As I don't have any kids myself, I don't know what kids are into these days. The child is 3. I don't mind shelling out around $20, but I don't want to seem patronizing or weird.

have this guy..who flirts with me but he never really made an actual move,. so he told me that he finds me to be very attractive and to call him if I ever wanted to hang out or go to a movie.. but he's always questioning me about how come I'm always leaving when he comes and talk to me... so I thoughtwell he told me to call him if i ever wanted to hang out..so I made the first move and asked him to hang out.He told me that he would like to but it would have to be in a couple of weeks because he is broke....so I called him yesterday..and told him i was going to starbucks and if he wasn't busy after work, he could join me he told me that starbucks sounds good, however today wouldn't be too good since he's busy, and that we would have to meet up sometime next week..then I asked him if he wasn't interested would he tell me?

Additional Details

47 seconds ago
He replied that "if I wanna meet up with him that's cool" "But I can't say that I'm intrested in it be an ongoing thing"....and i thought to myself hmm..okay..I mean I wasn't trying to make you my man or anything.. and then I thought well you were the one that invited me out first, he invited me to workout with him, and to church..so I'm a litle confused..

My neighbor is hosting a gaming dinner tonight. For those of you who are not familiar with them, it is a dinner where everything served has been hunted. We are going to have veil, rabbit stew...stuff like that.

Well, my wife just called me in a semi-hysteria as she has not been able to find the dog all afternoon. Now, this is NOT out of the ordinary since our dog does take off for hours at a time, but usually comes right back (especially in bad weather).

What strikes me in a sick strange way is that my neighbor has been VOWING to get me back since our last party (I got VERY drunk and urinated in his wife's potted plant...I have since apologized and we've moved on)

He mentioned there will be a 'special' meal served tonight to all of our friends...

Would he DARE do what I'm thinking????

If he did, what kids of laws are there against him??

My parents relentlessly call me at work. I've told them nicely to stop, but they don't.

If I tell them my number has changed to a number that is long distance call for them, (we use work cell phones, and some people change area codes to make it more convienient for clients to call), do you think they will call less?

I'm talking excessive calling over nothing important. In dire emergency, they can call me on my personal cell.. but no, they keep calling me on work cell and I'm around co-workers all day .... sometimes my co-workers think I'm getting prank calls since it rings so much!

I have told them over and over again.. THEY DON'T STOP!

I am ASKING, is this a good idea or not?

Plus my father is like Tony Soprano, if you know what I mean!

I was delivering the mail for my department...and saw a letter from a professor. I guessed that it was a recommendation letter for somebody else, and for some reason, I opened it. Just out of curiosity. Then I taped it back together. I feel so ashamed. It's not like I hid/broke anything, but I feel so sick in my stomach right now. It was a positive recommendation letter, but I just don't know. Just a normal letter. It was not worth it. I can do one of two things

1) nothing
2) go back to the mail room, pick it up, and place it in a better, unripped, untapped envelope.

I can't tell...because if they ask me my motive, I won't even know! Also, I will probably be kicked out of school. Guilt is eating me up, and I can't tell. What should I do?

My girlfriend has never really had a boyfriend before me. In her last year of college, she was obsessed with a guy named Frank. Frank led her on and then turned her down on the last day of school. This guy is always on her mind as a mental obsession. All of her friends were in on trying to hook the two people up, but it still failed.

Today, I messaged the guy on instant messenger. I pretended I was a SPAM bot and apparently he thought I was someone else. He then messaged me from a different screen name and we talked (with me, not knowing who he thinks I am, guessing wildly at what the other guy thinks I would be answering). Long story short, it turns out that her obsession is a homosexual. He is really nerdy and has been "being mean" to girls as a sort of revenge of the nerds in person.

Question is, should I tell her all of this?
