Etiquette - March 2007

A friend never tips...he believes that a worker has a job to do and why should he give anything extra to get service? Now he will be going on a ten day cruise...he says he can afford it because he does not tip. He figures he has saved enough money by not tipping and he does not intend to use a cruise line that requires giving workers tips....I disagree, am I right?

My argument is that on a cruise ship people are paid a minimum and the cruise line knows that most passangers will tip. These workers leave their families for months and work on ships to send money home...he disagrees, Am I right?

Establishment nudists are quick to say that Nudism has nothing to do with sex. But outsiders are convinced that nudist clubs are just fronts for swingers and that their activities consist mainly or ongoing sexual orgies. I have visited nudist clubs enough to know that the truth is somewhere between these two extremes. Has anyone had experiences at nudist clubs which would support the belief that they are swingers?

When I go in I can kick the door with my foot to open it, but when I go back out, I need to pull the dirty handle to open it (after I have washed my hands)

1) Mr.X is asking you to do something, which you do not want to do.
2) Mr. X is asking for some help, when you are busy.
3) Mr. X gives you some work when you already got some hectic work.
(if Mr.X is a very important person, whom we can not speak anything rude, or Mr X is intimate (friend, brother, sister) or Mr.X is higher authority in the office or Mr.X is a client to whom we work for)

My brother betrayed me for his girlfriend & done me a lot of wrong, & I want to get revenge on him because he has me hurting inside. But people on here are saying that by me wanting to get revenge on him is asking for attention. How? They started a lot of false rumors about me & made a lot of false allegations against me, & I want to find a way to break them 2 up, so he can stop putting her before his family.

I cut someone off totally by accident, I got the bird, and I felt bad about cutting in front. How do you respond with a gesture that indicates, "hey, sorry, didn't mean to do that?"

Alright, this is probably a dumb question. But it's something I've been stewing about. Is there a hand gesture that signifies "Hey, I'm sorry... it was an accident?" or is there really no way to respond to a cheesed motorist?

Like what i mean is, they have websites where you can get free samples...and they are all one website but they have links to the websites for the free stuff. Is it wrong to go to all of the links to get the free stuff that you don't have to do any offer they give you to do in order to get the stuff...

In my Theatre class, there's a TA [teacher's assistant] for this mentally challenged boy, and on Friday while some people were up on stage doing improv. [one being the boy he had to assist and never really does] he calls out, "OK this is old. No one's laughing, can we get some new people up there?" And he's not even in the class!!!!! I don't see him getting on stage. EVER! Is this right? The other TA who takes attendance for the class actually gets on stage, but he doesn't shout rude comments to the actors, so I have no problem with him.
