Etiquette - April 2007

Last summer I had a cute sheer blouse on (and a bra underneath) and noticed a man looking at me with this big cheesy smile on his face and he said good morning very loudly as I was going into the main office at my son's school to take care of some business matters. A lady in the office told me about my blouse and I noticed that one of my boobs were showing. I mentioned to the lady in the office about the man outside and she said that he enjoyed seeing my sunshine rays.

Have you experienced telling someone that their zipper is open or some other part of their clothing is exposed to the entire public or do you leave it alone?

Tell me about your experiences.

Why do people stand so close to you while you are in line at such places like (the grocery store, banks, ATM machine lines, gasoline stations, etc...). I mean some people are like right on your back. Do you think they are aware that they are so close? Does this bother you?

I hate when I go out places and receive lousy service and am still expected to tip! Even when I get good service, I'm not all that thrilled about it...The main argument for tipping is that waiters make less then minimum wage (in Ontario, Canada at least) so thats why you tip...or they make less because of tips, I'm not sure which one came first.

My main complaint is that its not my fault you are underpaid, and why is it MY job to compensate you? Besides, if you want to tip someone, why not a doctor? they save your life, which is a wee bit more important then transferring food from the kitchen to the table

It is because
- you like to be girly?
- someone tells you to?
- the dress is comfortable?
- you just happened to be in a dress?

Or are there other reasons?

for our sons first birthday this Saturday. I listed our phoen number with an RSVP. There were about 50 people invited total with abotu 16 invitations. THe RSVP date was yesterday and we've only received ONE call!! Do we assume they aren;t coming or does nobody bother with the courtesy of a requested RSVP anymore? I'm just really, REALLY suprised as most of these people are usually very courteous!

I noticed someone asking a question today about missing pens, which reminded me of a problem we have in our lunchroom/staff room... Our teaspoons go missing all the time! We are constantly buying new ones.

Do you think people forget they belong to work and take them home in their lunch box or is someone using them as a form of currency??

Hmmmmm.

Does the driver get to choose what to listen to, or the passenger. I'm the passenger, just so you know.

Not sure why, but there are some people I know who often tell "jokes" about other people's defects - being poor, being single, etc. - which really seem like veiled insults. Often, those on the butt-end of the jokes respond with anger or hurt, but the jokers always respond that it's all in good fun. Is it really "good fun" when the jokes are hurtful?

I went to a salon last week, and I arrived about 10 minutes before my appointment was scheduled for. Another girl comes in about the same time, so I'm guessing she has the same appointment time too. So, we wait for that ten minutes and then I wait another 15 minutes or so until my stylist calls me to get my hair done. However, the other girl is looking pretty peeved when another 15 minutes of waiting go by. Finally, she just gets up and leave without telling her stylist. What would be the right thing to do if more than 5 or 10 minutes go by and your stylist is not explaining what the hold up is?

If someone takes a vacation day during the week, or temporarily switches days with a co-worker who works weekends, just to stay home and find out if their neighbor leaves anytime during the day for work, what would you think of this person? What would you say if they had the nerve to admit this to you? Also, this person knows the neighbor is home during the evening because they've snooped during those hours as well. I suppose the person knows just asking the neighbor "do you work" would be too upfront. Why would someone go through all the trouble of doing this?

You look like you've had a long day. C'mon, sit down. Take off your shoes. Relax. That's better.

What can I bring you?

I dont really know any of them personally and they all seem to be nice pepole so I dont get it. I say it to everyone when they sneeze even people I dont know. Its kinda like exscuse me or thank you. Was i raised to say it or are all the people I work with assholes?

Some of my pants are pull up and down kind. And I've gained weight in the last few years and my legs(thighs) got some of the weight. When I go pee my pants pull down fine, but my legs are so close together that when done peeing it's hard to wipe when I'm sitting. So I go and stand up, then wipe. Is this OK to do?

I was recently invited to a bridal shower. I don't know the person hosting the party. Anyway, she sent e-mail invitations out - I thought it was a little tacky, but then thought maybe I'm just old fashioned (which I guess means I getting old - uhhh!). What do you think about e-mailing invitations? Or I am really just getting old??
