Etiquette - March 2007

My co-worker has been to work all of 30 minutes and has blown his nose almost constantly. We work in a small office with 6 of us sharing a 30 x 30 space. He sits right next to me and all I can hear is the gross phlemy noise of him blowing his nose (goose sounds sometimes too). No one else seems to notice? Should I say something. It's way gross.

This goes on every morning, and after lunch the same dude graces us with constant burping. Fo real, he's gross, but you wouldn't think so from looking at him.

I have 2 roommates, one of them is always shirtless. I could car less. But the other one is always telling the first one to put a shirt on. He's always raising his voice because for being shirtless on the couch, eating shirtless on the table, even just hanging out in the apartment he has a problem. The other day, my shirtless roommate was in a bad mood, and the other moron started yelling at him for being shirtless, and they actually punched each other.
I don't understand what's my roommate's problem, I don't understrand why is it such a big deal another man is shirtless in an apartment where only men live. Now I kist feel akward living here. If I have to take sides, I'd pick the shirtless fuy 'coz I just don't think it's big deal, but I've known the other one a lot longer.

What to do?

I have Tourette's Syndrome, & I curse uncontrollably, but it's more intense when I'm agitated (angry), but I can't control it, & people tell me NOT to curse & STILL want to inflict punishment on me. I can't help it, & I'm not making excuses for it.

Yeah, some people say there's a better choice of words I can use. But like they don't curse! & I hate when people tell me I shouldn't be cursing, & then they turn around & curse like a SAILOR! They just want somebody they can CONTROL. Or they're just holding a double-standard.

Do you curse? Don't lie because I KNOW you do.

I've asked my neighbor several times to lower his music, & the more I ask him politely, the more he has it loud. & my roommate will come charging @ me with knives if I ask her to turn her TV down-I live in a shared apartment. She blasts her TV.

They're doing this on purpose, just to test me, & I called the police on them, & the police said they have every right to have their stuff as LOUD as they want because it's theirs.

NO fair! I deserve @ least 1 second in my home, where I pay rent at, to peace & quiet. & when I complain to my landlord, she thinks I'm lying on them, trying to sabotage them to get put out, which is NOT true.

Music & TV BLASTING ALL night. I couldn't get ANY sleep. & I have a psychiatric day treatment program to go to, & py practitioner wants me to be on time, but it's now 7:12 AM, & I haven't gotten any sleep. This is very unhealthy for my body & my mind.

Do people care at all? So why ask if it is not important. Are they medical doctors, vets or psyciators? I do not think that people in general realise that they are even asking the question. A lot of times they have already left the room when asking how you are, and just as you are about to say "Not well" they have left the building.

In my opinion, a phone call beforehand would be nice.

10 minutes ago someone rang my doorbell, I ignored it because I thought it was a travelling salesman (sorry to travelling salesmen out there!), however someone has continued to ring the bell (4 times now) and I'm too embarrassed to go and see who it is. This has happened to me several times before.

rather be a drug addict because you can hide being on drugs you cant hide being obese, it takes much less time to detox than to lose tons of weight, drugs make you feel good being obese makes you depressed, you usually lose weight on drugs, and most younger guys I know would rather date a girl on drugs than an obese one, and I know drugs can kill you but so can being obese either way your at risk of death..
I know ill probably get alot of **** for asking this and obv everyone would want neither but if you had to chose one..I am curious to know what most people would chose

I am from California and I asked this 20 year old looking guy a question. He responded, "Yes Ma'am." I didn't understand this. Isn't ma'am supposed to be used on older looking women. I look like I am 16 or 17 years old

Me and my fiancee both love to lay out on our back patio and tan in the nude. We also swim naked together. We have full privacy outback as no one can see us. Does any one enjoy nude tanning outside? It keeps tan lines down as well.

Ok, I was at a Carl's Junior drive-thru today. I placed my order and when I drove up to the window, the woman working there had the BIGGEST Herpes bump on her upper lip (I mean it looked puss-filled and read). I TOTALLY lost my appetite and I got very nervous and shaky. I didn't want her to touch my food or give me any change back, from her hand. I guess I just thought that she may have been touching her sore all day... So, I canceled the order and told her I didn't have enough money afterall. I did says sorry for the inconvenience though and I drove away. Do you think she knew why I cancelled?? Do you think that was rude how I handled it? HONESTLY, I'm not a mean person, but her outbreak looked soooooooo gross. I'm one of those people who naturally have a queezy stomach and just the thought of certain things or certain smells etc... will make me gag.
