Etiquette - May 2007

Ok, so I share an office with this lady who constantly pops gum. I have headphones on, volume all the way up, and I can STILL hear her. Should I like throw something at her?

How annoying.

Why do women not realize they have a choice? If you do not want the baby then why is it so hard to just put the little binkers up for adoption? I don't know if this is for all states but here in Illinois, they passed the law where you could have the baby and if you did not want to even be on record, you could leave the baby at a safe place like a hospital or fire station and not be held criminally negligent. PLEAAASSSE women, wake up and stop thinking about only yourselves. There are choices. What is your input on the behavior of some of these young women.

You're at a company dinner. A co-worker (older and married) offers to buy your drink. You politely refuse, insisting you can get your own -- but he insists.

Ettiquite teaches me that it's rude to refuse in this case. So I accept and he buys my drink. However, I can't help but feel this was somewhat inappropriate on his part -- and perhaps on mine for accepting. What's the rule here?

I go out to lunch with a co-worker practically everyday and the same choices just get boring and I don't even look forward to having to pick out a restaurant or fast food joint. Is it appropriate for me to just bring a sandwich, fruit and snack from home and buy the drink from the restaurant? I figure not only would I be ahppier with my slection but I could save money. Never really thought about it until now but is this appropriate and acceptable dining Etiquette?

I am 8 months pregnant and I get up at 4:45 am, work 10 hours, and go home to care for my 16 month old. I am exhausted. But I do not appreciate it when people tell me that I look tired or pale or sick. They would look this way too!

What are some clever responses to the rude commentary on my appearance?

When it's your birthday and friends or family very nicely invited you to celebrate and brings out a cake that you absolutely hate (in my case, cheese cake), what do you do?

I can't even finish one slice of cheese cake...

This is part of a letter I wanted to send my ex who just broke up with me. Can you tell me if there is something that doens't quite make sense in my wording, esp. the 2nd sentence? I've been working on it for quite some time this evening, and I think my brain and emotions are shot. I don't have a clear perspective anymore on what I am writing. So I'm taking a break now. Could you please read what I wrote and tell me if something doesn't sound sensible to you? Thank you. Appreciate this much!

"First off, I wanted to thank you for ever getting involved with me. I consider myself richer that someone like you chose to be with me. Secondly, getting to have this experience of pain, (the pain of being dumped) is another thing I have to thank you for. You know, it sounds funny but it is actually one of those experiences I wanted first hand knowledge of at some point in my life. Weird but I kind of felt like I was missing out all this time.

I was a truck driver for a tire recycling company who hired me in 2005. The job required for me to have a helper who rode alongside me and helped pick up scrap tires. The person who worked with me was suggested by the company because of the previous work he had done for them. I was contacted in April 2007 and asked what I knew about using a U-Haul truck to illegaly dump tires I informed the supervisor I no knowledge of what he was talking about, but he insisted I knew something and would come see me the following business day which was Monday. I was uneasy about the situtation so I put a voice recorder in my pocket to attend his meeting, sure enough 23Apr2007 I was suspended for a week and accused of illegal dumping. He even told me of complaints from customers so I contacted the people and was informed this was not true. The guy who worked alongside me I believe was dumping illegally without my knowledge. I received a letter termination letter 9 days later, the letter was dated 24 Apr

I'm in a group with a couple of folks. How would you deal with people you don't like and those who don't like or respect you. Would you fake liking them to just get along, be truthful but respectful, or just let your hate hang out ?

a guy at work who has an excellent job is very cheap to say the least. He wont go to a sporting event because he says the tickets, parking and food are too expensive but he buddies up to people who can get him free tickets, free parking and free food and he is generally the first person ready to go on game day he cant get there fast enough. He says theres nothing wrong with this and the people i know have absolutely no clue what he's up to and he's done it for a long time. Should i tell the people he's taking advantage of or should i just keep quiet????

I was in my new bosses office when he receive a personal phone call. I got up and as I was walking out the door I heard him say "oh I was just talking to my "little admin" and laughed saying he would tell the person more later. I am a larger person and I took great offense to this, but is it better to just leave it go or should I say something to him?

A coworker told me a bunch of crap about someone that I work with and that someone found out she told me because someone over heard her telling me and now my coworker has turned the story around and said she heard the crap from me, and it is not true, I just stood there and listened to her so she wouldn't get p@##ed off at me. I have learned from experience to just keep your mouth shut and it usually keeps you out of trouble, of course in this case I said nothing and still got in trouble. What can I do to correct it so she doesn't have everyone thinking I'm the lier? She is a complete fool. What do I do?
