Etiquette - April 2007

I just don't understand how people can be so STUPID! Or maybe they are just IGNORANT!

Also, for me to have to resort to asking this question, I feel like I am just like em. I know people are smarter than this! Please tell me it is just because they are lazy, bored, or tired. Give me some hope for the human race!

It usually costs me about $40- $50. Do you normally tip a percentage of the cost, or just a flat amount?

I work in a supermarket with a lot of teenage guys, who act rude and indifferent towards me. I try to get along with everyone, but sometimes they can get downright arrogant.
How should I respond?

Recently held a fundraiser where we hosted a cash bar, and had two servers butler hors d'ouevres to the attendees (this lasted no more than an hour). The gratuity is not at all addressed in the contract, so we are trying to determine whether or not we need to include a tip for the staff. Any tips for how to handle this would be greatly appreciated.

I work with a guy who is about to get married for the sixth time to a mail order bride. Seriously, I am not kidding on this. He has registered at several stores and keeps making suggestions on what we, his coworkers, should get him. OK, call me crazy, but I wasn't planning on getting him anything - shouldn't he have it all by wedding number 6? Additionally he didn't send out invitations to his wedding, he has just verbally invited us (which I am not going to). Would you get him a present?

Thanks!

Grandma told us to pick out what we wanted and we did.She asked us what colors we liked and we told her.We specifically told her we did not like pink.Grandma got NOTHING we picked.Everything was how she picked it,nothing like said.ALL the clothes she got were pink!!!!She even said she'd like for our baby to be wearing a certain outfit when she got home(of course it's one of the pink outfits).We said thank you and that we appreciated the gifts,but since we weren't ecstatic about any of it,she says she's hurt.We've said thank you several times....
Was she rude to do this?Is she wrong to be pressing a guilt trip?

I just moved in with my brother a couple of weeks ago, & we even notified the landlord. This elderly woman below us stares me up & down really hard, like she thinks I'm up to no good. Does this mean that she's gonna try to snitch & get us in trouble? We have a backup.

my neighbor for unknown reasons tells to all the neighborough terrible things about me.I really do not know why I've been very courteous with her all the time.I try to not make a big deal but her gossips are very insulting and degrading with absolut no sense.
Everybody agree that she is not a total normal person but also everybody (me included) is afraid of her and/or her family who are all most part of the time in and out of jail for various violent crimes.
I can not move so,that wont be the answer
can someone just trashed another one like that legally?

I work with a female who when I approach her desk, she pulls her shirt down on her backside constantly. I am professional, and respectful and never would ogle her, so it bothers me as I feel as if she thinks I am checking her out or something. Maybe I am reading into it, but sort of wonder as to why she does this or what this reaction is?? I have noticed other women doing this as well in the past.

OK.. Why do some people feel that tips should be given at a restaurant no matter what? I saw a person saying how much they would tip based on service and quality of the meal... Which in all reality makes sense to me.. HOWEVER.. they said that.. if the meal was terrible and the service was awful, then the tip would only be 10-12% of the total...

WHY?!!? Why would you give ANY tip to someone who provided you awful service? They're not doing their job properly, they don't deserve it!

A tip is a 'gift'. It is something that is given OVER AND ABOVE what the waiter/waitress already gets paid for doing their job.. It should be given based on what they did for you, not just because people think it's 'proper' to do!

Yes, I understand they work hard.. But don't forget, they are PAID to do that work.. Like any other job, they must be paid AT LEAST minimum wage. If they do their job well, give them that 'gift'.

WHY do some people say it's a MUST?

Do you think people really feel better about themselves by putting a complete stranger down or do you think they might be a tad jealous and try to make the person feel bad about them self in some way?
I asked a question a few min ago to which a woman answered "ms BLONDE WOMAN YOU TURN ON THE AUTOMATIC UPDATES" completely rude....I see alot of this happening in here, and for the life of me can't figure out what makes a person want to answer so rudely, arrogantly, and show what a wretched person they really are? What do you think?

I happen to like a lot of the woman i work with, most are really smart and intellegent woman who i've had the oppurtunity to learn alot from however most of them, are always judging, backstabbing or talking about someone else when one isn't present. Then they all go out to lunch together as if they weren't just sabotajing or telling everyone a confessed secrete. A lot of hiprocracy! I find myself spending most of my work day on the solo and avoiding converstations because i rather avoid getting envolved....Does anyone else run into this in there work place and how do you deal? "without going off" And men do you guys encounter these issues?

I am not a dog owner, but I absolutely love all animals. The thing is, I don't appreciate going to someones house to have their huge lab or whatever kind of dog they have slobber all over my clean clothes and bury his snout in my private areas! The dog practically knocks me over, I am very petite. The owner sees that I'm uncomfortable about this and says "oh, he's really friendly, he just wants to sniff you, he won't bite"...I want to say, "well I don't like being sniffed! get the dog away from me!!!!" but I'm too reserved to do that. WHY dog owners? Why? Why do you allow this to happen??!! I don't understand why you wouldn't realize that not everyone wants to be covered in dog hair, dog slobber and feel violated by everyone watching the dog sniff you. Explain yourselves.

Here's the deal, we're both on an OJT right now (on the job training), but with separate companies.

She's been telling me lately that a couple of male employees there have been asking persistently for her mobile no. and that they have been trying to make physical contact with her (trying to grasp her hand, the bastards).

Of course I am enraged by this, but I know how to keep my cool. So for now I instructed her that first thing tomorrow morning she tells her supervisor:

- The whole story.
- That she is not comfortable and terribly offended by such actions.
- Ask her boss if she can help her about this.

I added that if nothing is done about it and the two bastards keep on with their advances, I am going to confront them about it.

My question is, should I just go there and confront them already, or lay back for a while?

Ah, I can't wait to kick them sons of.... ^_^
