Etiquette - March 2007

Me and my friend left our stuff over night in the locker room with our lockers two days ago, and not only us, everybody did this .... There was no sign-don't live your staff over night ...Certainly if you don't have a locker it can't be safe...
But when we came today all the lockers were broken and all the t-shirts, snickers , towels and etc-everything was on the floor in one huge pile.... LA Fitness did it just because it's suddenly occured to them we are not supposed to leave our stuff over night... even with lockers... Of course I couldn't find my new snickers for 80 $ , there was absolutly nothing left.... I'm shocked, my friend too, and we don't know who do we need to complain to and what to do... We are going to talk to the manager tomorrow , because we've been late today and nobody was there....I mean we paid 300 $ for personal trainer together and than 220 $ each for membership...And now we are not sure we want to go there anymore ..

My boss asked me today about my personal life, which is none of her business,one day; this same person even asked me how I could afford the braces on my teeth!! People at my job have nothing better to do than to pry into my life, and I want to put a stop to it.

How do you say," That's none of your business.", without sounding rude and cruel?

I'm a decent tipper for the service industery, like takng a cab, getting a haircut, or dining out at a resturaunt, (even odering out). Pretty much anything where someone has to come to me to satasfy me, or make me look good.

Why do people tip at a starbucks (and some tim hortons)? but not at a McDonalds. It's still counter service with a fixed menu. thier not coming to you, you're going to them and then tipping! Why?

A few of our neighbors supported us during a recent home owners association issue. I want to give each of them a card and small gift. Any suggestions? By the way, do you guys have spell check? My spell check disappeared.

we are moving to Boca Raton, FL in a few months. Someone who lived in Boynton Beach but moved back here (Bensalem, PA NE of Phila. PA) said that there were a lot of bad/seedy neighborhoods. I would like to know: are there bad neighborhoods in any parts of Palm Beach County (from Boca Raton up to Palm Beach), and if so, where are they? Please give details and exact location and cities/towns or which neighborhoods if any.

For the past nearly 4 months, I've been hearing sex sounds (screaming) from women, and occasionally crying. They are following from loud pounding mechanical noises I hear from my ceiling (their floor). They do it EVERY day from the times between 2 - 4 am. The noises last about a minute, and comes in intervals. So like: noise (pause for about a minute or less) noise again etc. for about 4-6 times each time . Ive complianed to the management, and surprisingly no one else have complianed. They did not do anythign but talk to the neighbords during the day. Management only said that the neighbors were a nice couple, who said that one of their mother is livign with them and isnt mentally stable and sometimes makes noise. Ive called the police yesterday and complained at 2 am when they started the noises again. Today at around 10:30 pm to 11 pm, they were at it agian. They must be changing their tactics and think that disturbance at earlier time is okay. My ceiling shakes! HELP! T_T

Of all the Starbucks I have ever been to, and I have been to many locations in many different cities and states, I have never heard a peep of gratitude for my gratuity. They are usually very friendly, and it's not that it bothers me; I will continue to tip them regardless, it's just one of those stupid little questions I've always been curious about, and I don't want to be rude and ask them! If you are reading this and think this is the most utterly ridiculous question, I do apologize for wasting the 10-20 seconds of your life--lol!

This get on my nerves I smile when I want to not when someone else thinks I should. Look sometimes I'm happy sometimes I'm angry,sad bored or feeling some other emotion. Why should someone smile just because someone else thinks they should. No one is going to be happy 100% of the time regardless of who they are. I just get fed up with people who think I should be happy just because they are. What do you think?

My daughter received a gift of $15 cash from a boy in her class who did not make it to her 10th birthday party. What would be a good way to word the thank you note?

we have so far: "Thank you so much for the very generous birthday gift! It was so thoughtful of you.
I will have a lot of fun shopping and using the money to buy something really cool!

I'll see you at school!"

would it be good to add "sorry I missed you at the party.." or "you were missed at the party." or mention him being missed at the party? or better to not mention it at all? any ideas how to word it (as far as him not being at the party).

I have a relative with whom I'd like to remain in touch about family matters, but she also includes me on a list - and sends me messages about other matters: politics, religion, ethics. I'd rather not receive these, and I'd like to find a civilized way of letting her know. All advice will be received gratefully - thanks!

We spend 2 nights at a hotel and changed rooms for the 3rd. I requested clean sheets and the manager on duty rudely denied my request as housekeeping was done for the night. I ask for clean sheets at 5:45 pm. The manager refused to help and I asked for my money to be refunded and she denied that as well. Is there anyone who knows if this would be against a health code or anything similar as I am planning to call the general manager of the hotel/casino.

A lot of people here have complained about women wearing "indecent" clothing, like thong bikinis, jean skirts, etc. I would understand if it was your daughter or little sister wearing those things, but if it's a stranger, why bother? Is it any of your business?

There is a lady who I run into from time to time because we have mutual friends. She is really beautiful, fit, great kids and nice husband.

She is also really rude. It is almost like she goes out of her way to be condescending. I avoid her as much as possible but I had a 2 minute interaction with her and walked away feeling terrible. I do not really know how to describe it.

Have you ever met a person like this? Why would a person with so much going for them feel the need to act this way? I do not get it.

My partner and I got engaged on a romantic weekend away 2 weeks ago! I'm so happy!

I have just caught up with my best friend to giggle and plan my wedding. (I am 31 she is 34).

Anyway, when she saw my ring she blurted out "oh my god, it that real? It looks fake, can I see the valuation certificate"

I am rather hurt and annoyed because:

a) It is a REAL 1.25 carat diamond
b) How rude of her to even ask!

Would anyone else feel the same? Especially after knowing that my lovely fiance spent $12.5K on the ring!

Oh, and yes, my partner was mortified that she was so rude.

I lied to her. She doesn't know yet- but the guilt is eating me up. So I've decided that I'll write a letter to her. Problem is, I'm not quite sure how. She asked me if I had my essay 4 weeks after the due date, and I said that I had given it to her on time and we concluded that it must be lost. Truth be told- I didn't write the essay until 3 weeks after the due date, but I didn't tell her this because I did't want to risk being penalized for not doing the assignment on time... I do realize that now I'm in more trouble...How do I write this letter?

Several people at work, myself included, have noticed cash missing from our wallets/purses. The day that my money was stolen, I saw a co-worker messing with my purse. I know this person has had financial difficulties in the past. Should I approach her, or go to my boss?
