Etiquette - February 2007

He called us both numerous times, asking us to check all our silverware AND empty out our garbage to see if the knife got sent home with us somehow.

We couldn't find it anywhere, but he insists to this day that we have it somewhere. He just won't let it go!

The knife has no sentimental association or financial worth. Just your cheap $20 set of knives.

I tried to turn it into a joke. He came over my house a couple weeks after the knife went missing, so I took every knife and butter knife I owned and placed them up and down a long hallway.

He laughed at the time, but he STILL brings up his missing knife.

Is this a bit obsessive of him?

Should I just go buy him a new set of knives, even though I didn't lose it? He needs to let it go somehow.

I ordered this camera from this company, www.thedigitalexpo.com, and paid for a three day shipping. It has now been 5 days and no camera. I called customer service only to have the owner tell me he is hanging up on me and when i called back, he just put me on hold for 10 minutes, i hung up. How do you warn people of companies like this one? I paid over $200 for this camera. I am a military member and a friend of mine is deploying soon. To help keep in touch, I wanted to give him this camera but it looks as though I won't be receiving it. How do I warn people of website/companies as this? I am really fumed up!!

He bought a 2 litre carton of ice cream and apple pie for dinner one night and i made the rest of the dinner at home. He came to my place with his son. Then the next day complained that my kids finished off the carton of ice cream. And then asked if they had eaten the rest of the pie.There was a total of 5 of us for dinner, so there wasn't much ice cream left anyway. He put $20. worth of gas in my car then the next day drove his 18 year old sons friend home and used it all, then told me I had to put more gas in the car, because when he pulled in the driveway the gas light came on.I earn $9.00 per hour. He makes $27. Am I looking at this wrong or is he just a cheapskate. We have only been dating for 1 month. And he is talking of us moving in already. Wrong. Help.

I'm in my 20's and I occasionally like to go out for drinks with my friends, usually about once a month. As much as I enjoy it, I also dislike it. I sometimes ask myself if it was really worth going out to a bar and spending all that time or money for something that really doesn't benefit me. I mean, what do I get from a night out at the bar-extra empty calories, no money, and an occasional hangover.

I don't mind drink while I'm doing it, but the next day I ask myself was it worth it (and no, it's just not the hangover speaking)

This is my last semester of college, I use to drink so much more, but I gave that up for good about 2 years ago. Will I ever get out of this phase of going to bars, regardless of the fact that I don't really like to anymore. I sometimes feel I have to go, especially if someone is celebrating a birthday, or trying to get over a bad breakup, etc. If I don't go, I feel like my friends will think I'm blowing them off. Is this a phase?

Nothing excites me more than trying to make people laugh at the most inappropriate times. I mean, not totally inappropriate times like if someone's at the doctor or something. But say, you were sitting the middle of class and your teacher is talking. I sometimes like to keep coughing in funny, loud, obnoxious ways over and over and over again. The teacher keeps saying 'bless u' over and over again. I don't think she'll ever catch on because she is a bit older like 55. However, some of the kid's faces will just turn red because they are trying to keep from laughing their asses off because they know it will upset her if she catches them just bursting out laughing. I really enjoy making the kid's struggle to hold in their giggles. It's much more enjoyable then making them laugh at the proper time, such as lunch or after school. All I can say is, you never want to go to someone's wedding with me if you don't want to burst out laughing during the middle of wedding and be embarrassed :D

I'm at a loss regarding my neighbor in my condo complex. We both own our properties, so moving to another location is not easily done.

He lives on the floor below me and regularly blares music in the wee hours of the morning, always during the work week. He used to fight with his girlfriend, screaming and cursing at her, but they recently broke up. He now screams at, well, nothing. Last night after blaring music from 2-3 a.m., he turned the music off, starting screaming about gays, then said "Wake up, neighbor. Wake up." I'm fairly certain he is on drugs when he's doing this, so knocking on his door really isn't a good idea for me.

I've called the police on him three times in a couple months, but it doesn't stop. The condo management company says they can't do anything (apparently they fined him several times, but the problems continued.)

Any thoughts on anything else I can do, besides keep calling the police? The building is quiet and safe otherwise.

tupperware containers, do they harass you to bring them back?

By tupperware containers, I am referring to the very flimsy ones that you buy in a bunch at the grocery store.

If so, how long do they usually wait before they start harassing you to bring them back?

Would you just go out and buy a pack of new ones if continued to harass you?

I talk to my friend once in a while and I have met both his parents before. His father died yesterday and I just found out right now, should I call before attending the viewing or can I just go to the viewing without calling first (I'm at a loss for words and I don't know what to say yet) ? Thanks.

Ok here's the story, my husband and I spent half a day shoveling our driveway and part of the street so we could get out after all of the snow we got here in Indy. The lady that lives across the street decided to use the space as her personal parking area and block me into my driveway instead of shoveling her own drive. I had to ask her to move this morning so I could leave for work. She was irritated, but it didn't seem to be at me. She said she couldn't park anywhere else or she would get stuck. Meanwhile my daughter has had a fever all night and I politely told her that my husband would be asking her to move again so he couldt take our daughter to the Dr. if she parked there again and of course she did so my husband told her she would have to move and she got mad. He told her if she didn't move he would have her towed. They use our front yard to turn around all the time and frequently get stuck in it. We have never said anytbing to them until today. Was that wrong?

I have a co-worker who passes gas constantly and knows how to clear out a room. She also picks her nose and eats it. At times she will drool on the keyboard and loves to sing Meatloaf songs out loud. My boss is aware of these problems but she too is a big Meatloaf fan and they are close because of it. The only other one who appreciates her qualities is the janitor. Enough said. What can I do?

It doesn't bother me that others do... in fact, I think it's somewhat funny/odd (especially when I get to flush in the middle of their conversation).

I am going to a cfnm party tonight where there will be about 15 women that will be completely clothed while there will be 3 guys that will be completely nude and I will be one of them. Has anyone ever been to this type of event? The rules are that we have to be nude the entire event. The girls are hot so I imagine I will have an erection. I am just worried about the size issue cause I am kinda small down there (3.5 in) and the two other guys that will be there are two black guys. Do I have anything to worry about?

I lost myself and had to ask some people to let me stay the night in
their house. They were very hospitable, and the mother prepared a very nice bed for me, with a lot of mattresses (at least twenty, I
think), but I could not sleep at all, I scarcely closed my eyes all
night! And no wonder, for in the morning I looked under the mattresses
and saw that that woman put peas there! Actual dry peas!
She asked me if I slept good. What should I tell her? I do not want
to offend her, she accommodated me, after all, and I think that her
son is kinda cute!

I'm in Wal-mart about an hour ago, (5 am) and I was waiting for someone to cut some fabric by the yard, so I could take it to the front and pay for it. It never fails that there is no attendant in that department.

I'll end up having to find someone in electronics and ask if they could page the fabric attendant. I always end up waiting (patiently, I might add) for about 15 minutes for someone.

When someone finally came, I was met by a woman without the sunny disposition that I would expect from somebody working in customer service. She did not greet me, instead she just growled, "How many yards you want of all that?" I told her, and she began to cut the fabric.

Now, I understand a hard day at work, and so I tried to empathize with her, so I asked "long shift, huh?" Then she told me that she just got there. Nice. I'd hate to see her around that 7th hour. She was doing a very sloppy job, and the fabric was cut all kinds of crooked.

I wanted to ask her to do it right... (continued).

When you begin a letter to a pair of people with the same surname and the same sex, aka, Mr J and Mr F Smith, what do you put in the "Dear" section? Your don't put initials in that part of the letter, and writing "Mr and Mr Smith" seems silly. I have used "Sirs", is that correct? And what if its Ms J and Ms F Smith?

My ex boyfriend who’s still a very close friend is getting married, we are still very good and close friends and I really want to get him something nice. A designer dress-watch or something like that, is it ok to get him a wedding gift? Would it be rude if I only got a gift for him? (I don’t personally know the person he is marrying).
