Etiquette - March 2007

It is a fairly large organization and I don't personally know anybody in the department to ask them, I need somebody with their expertise to give a talk at an employee meeting in May.
People do it all the time but they usually ask a friend, etc.

I suppose I make them quite well now, but cooking for her in addition to myself so often does get old quite quickly...especially when she sometimes raids my food supply without asking...

And don't tell me to lock my door around the time that she usually shows up. I usually do, but there's always somehow that she weasels her way into my apartment...

I raise goats and currently have some goat kids for sale. A woman picked two out and told me she would send me a deposit to reserve them. She kept emailing me and telling me that she was sending money and to please not sell them to anyone else so I agreed to hold them until I received the deposit. In the meantime I turned down 3 other people that wanted to reserve them. I never received the deposit and now she has finally emailed saying simply that she is sorry but she can't buy them at this time but she wants to buy some in the future. I certainly don't want these babies to go to a home where they are sincerely wanted so I'm not too upset except for the fact that I turned down 3 separate families that may have been very good homes for these little ones. I have made the decision that I will never do business with this person in the future. What is the most professional way to deal with this. Should I respond to the email at all? And if so, what is the best thing to say?

Just wondering. I'm a lifeguard at an indoor hotel pool, and there's a fitness room next to it. The hotel is located near an inner-city areas of Washington, DC, so it's no surprise sometimes we can have thugs or look-alikes. We've managed to try and clean up that kind of image, improving standards from 2-star to 3-star and trying to make sure it's for real guests from out-of-town.

With some new crackdown policies, I approached a guy who looked suspicious and asked if he was a guest; he was just sitting there somewhere in the fitness room and watching TV when you can watch it in the room you're checked into. He said yes and asked me why. When I said I've seen suspicious people, he asked how does he look so. I said I can feel ok if I saw him in workout clothings, but he was dressed casually and just sitting there watching TV. He said I was rude in the way I approached him, especially without a hotel name tag on me, and suggested I check with front desk if I don't believe him.

This afternoon I went to my local supermarket, and walking across the car park, I watched a woman in a brand-new Audi A6 pull into a disabled bay, get out and walk perfectly easily into the store. I checked the car - no disc.

Inside the store I spoke to the customer service desk, but they said there was nothing they could do - they don't have any powers to enforce disabled parking. So I suggested could make an announcement over the public address. They seemed doubtful, but I offered to give £5 to Comic Relief, and they did it - asked her to come to customer service, and when she came, explained to her that the disabled bays were for DISABLED people, STOOPID (okay, they were more polite, but still).

So Comic Relief got its fiver. But my question is: was it a good deed, because I gave money to charity? Or was it a bad deed, because I took such malicious joy in seeing this woman squirm? Or was it a good deed, because arrogant, selfish people need to be confronted?

You decide.

childhood friend of mine invited me to her birthday party at this popular comedy club here in town.And I hadn't seen here in like about a year and a half,and when I seen her, there was no hugs, and not even a smile, when she seen me she said "Oh hey' then sort of walked off, so I'm like well maybe she's got alot on her mind because she was the hostess.But once she was finished with getting everything situated..she sat next to me..and she never really spoke to me the entire time..She conversated with people around me..but not really to me..Plus after the show ended,..she walked off,..and I yelled bye see you later..and she came back and gave me hug..and said okay take care ..plus on top of that after I seen her that day..she hasn't invited me to any of her parties... .so I'm a little confused about here behavior..I know noone can read minds but what would you think if someone you had grown up with did something like that to you..?

My bar in the club is a very fun atmoshpere. I like it like that. I go to have fun and provide fun. From spraying my coworkers with water to silly string and back to giving out free shots off the bar. Now my question is if I spray you with water or if you just happen to get wet as a result of friendly fire, are you going to get mad knowing that's what you can expect at my bar. There are other bars in the club who don't do any of these things. I just figure they can go there if there worried about it.

He seems to know if I call in sick and his lights do not go on. As I turn my inside lights off as I leave, his inside lights go off. As I leave my drive way, his outside light goes off. His outside light stays on until my lights go off at night. I cannot go out in the yard without him thinking its free reign to stroll over to ramble ridiculous statements about he finally this or that. He does not work and claims to be a reformed drinker although seems to drink alot of beer. Go figure. So how do I ignore the monitoring. I can tell him to exit the yard, but the monitoring is exhausting.

im on a limited timescale whereas they have nothing better to do, so shouldnt they just get out of my way?
and they always go to the 10 items or less checkout and because no one wants to upset old people, no one says any thing! and when told how much it has come to, they quibble over it and want to know what cost what, AND they pay with discount vouchers!!!
