I want to thank a Surgeon who successfully performed a very dangerous operation on my dad. Was thinking of giving a gift, like a bottle of wine, but my brother-in-law (also a surgeon) says it would not be neccessary as the surgeon was only doing a job..Is he right?

I have been eating with a coworker and she double dipped into my ranch sauce. I saw her lipstick was in my dressing and I found that is annoying. What should I do? Eat it anyway or else.

Also tell me how your feel about double dipping?

I have a ride-along coming up and it says I should dress nicely, "business casual". However, I want to be comfortable...

I live in a townhouse and can hear everything next door. I have never heard any of the previous renters - just these kids. I asked the parents if they could keep the screaming and stomping to a minimum because I hear it all the time and it's affecting my life. It starts at 6am and lasts until about 10pm at night. I work from home and am in graduate school. Talking to the parents didn't help. I honestly think it made it worse.

Should I express my concern?

2007-02-15 18:58:00 · 5 answers · asked by Anonymous

I go out to eat frequently. I'm typically a good tipper, 15-50%, depending on the situation and service. When I was younger, my mom taught me to tip 15%. As I have gotten older, I figure if I was tipping 15% then, it's only common sense that I tip better now. The problem is when I have really crappy service. Even when my service is bad I tip 15%, but sometimes you have service that is so terrible, you don't even want to leave that. The thing is, there is a stereotype that African-American people and young people don't leave good tips. I've even heard this from servers themselves or saw that I didn't get the same level of service because the server thought that I was not going to leave a nice tip (either because of my age or my ethnicity). If I don't tip, the server, it perpetuates the stigma that African-American's don't tip. If I do leave a tip, I am tipping them for horrid service. I would like to hear from servers. Do you ever think a bad tip was related to your service?

I know it's hard to do that if you are on a budget but maybe some of you know something.

My best friend invited me over to her house to watch a movie and chill at 6 PM. I went. By the time the movie was over it was like 7:30. Than we went online and at 8 her mom comes in and tells me it's time for them to go to bed and tells me to leave. Do you think this was rude? It's not like I just went to their house, she invited me. I usually don't go to their house.

It's like kicking a guest they invited out.

The other day, my neighbour invited me to come over for dinner last night. She knows what time i finish work. I agreed to go. She sends me a message yesterday afternoon, asking what time i would be at their house. I told her seven. She sends me a message back and says "well, we will have already eaten by then, but i will see you at seven".

i was gobsmacked. who invites someone over for dinner and then tells them they would have already eaten by the time they get there?

i ended up having to get take out for dinner, as i obviously didnt put anything out for dinner. i just found it so rude, and i was so angry.

Several months back, if I posted a question and got say 20 replies for it I would report one or maximum two answers as abuse (statistically speaking)

If I were to post a similar question today, I will have to report at least 10 answers as abuse! I have done it several times and simply gotten tired of it - dumb and inconsiderate answers are becoming a trend here on Yahoo Answers.

Don't you feel the same way?

In American culture, when is correct time to shake hands with somebody? Do you have to shake hands when you sell a used car to someone? Do you have to shake hands when you meet someone new? I need many examples such as these as I am not from this country and I want to learn the American culture. Thank you.

I work at a software company and a dept. that is very small and there is alot of women. Only 2 men are in our small office. The new guy of the 2 is very obnoxious. He talks about his sex life, how he cheats on his girlfriend and how stupid she is. He talks about how he would rather date white women then black women. He tries to show us porn sites. We can hear his personal phone conversations in the office because he is so loud. He previously was at another dept. but he was moved. Some of the women that had worked with him said he was a sexist jerk. He also goes around spreading rumors about people at the company.

I'm 26, good job, just got my first house..BUT.. I met someone less than a month ago.. we're still in the talking phase..and he called me tonite asking me if I can get him a cell phone, in other words, get the cell phone for him, and have the bill come to my house, (since he doesn't work), because he really wants to keep in contact with me.. I'm not sure if I'm willing to risk messing up my credit like that, especially since I take good care of it. What would you do? I'm pretty close to just giving him the boot and moving on.. Then I suggested maybe he get a pre paid plan..and he says to me "who's gonna pay that, u know I'm not working".. Should I just forget him and move on? I'm scared that if I do get him the phone, chances are he may ruin my credit..

I asked two co-workers how much they make. One co-worker told me he makes this much. The other co-worker didn't want to tell me. To me, it's no big deal to tell someone how much I make. Am I wrong? Is it a bad etiquette to ask someone how much they make eventhough I've known him for a while? I need some opinions on this matter. Thanks.

I do not beer at all. I do enjoy drinking wine though. All the guys I meet are all beer lovers and they always give me crap about drinking wine.

What do men like women who drinks beer? What do you think about those who are into wine? What about those who do not drink at all?

Talked to this guy for about 6 weeks, he's been really "busy" @ work the last couple of weeks, which I can understand, 'cuz I'm extremely busy @ wk and not able to talk, text, anything. But, on the weekends, he's too "tired" to talk... Ok, so we're just talking but he's stringing me along... sent me a Valentine text/pix yesterday, and then too busy to IM... I'm sick of this sh**... what u all think? Do I expect too much with someone I'm just talking to?

How do you deal with people who act like they're better than you and put you down subtlety. Especially if you're shy.

I have a lot of girl friends, and many of them tell me how they have to deal with guys either trying to pick up on them or try to touch them inappropriately on almost a daily basis. You too?

To me, that's horrible that women have to deal with that so often, while as a guy, very seldom have I or any of my boys had to deal with such a situation.

Isn't that sad about today's society? Does anyone have manners anymore? What happened to shivlery -much less simply having respect for for a lady?
