Etiquette - May 2007

I have a cousin who is just grimy. I mean, you wouldn't believe how grimy she is. For example, she will make food, but not clean up the kitchen--she leaves food and messes all over the counter. At any given time, she has nasty, smelly dishes in the sink. She allows the trash to pile up when it's obvious it should be taken out. She does not clean her bathrooms, and if not for me, they would never be clean. She had moldy, smelly, used washcloths in the bathroom for months. Unfortunately, I had to move in with her due to a temporary situation that I expected to last three months, but I couldn't even take that--I found a place a week later and made up a story about moving. When I moved in, I had to change the shower curtain because the one there was black from limescale and only-God-knows-what-else. You can not walk in her house without shoes. How can I tell her how nasty and grimy she is without hurting her feelings?

When I started I would get tips from my rooms daily. But now most days no tips and the supervisor checks the rooms first. She says that a new rule that is started and if we do not follow we will be termindated. Its funny all of a sudden no tips most days. This affects my pay. What to do?

I was watching "The Sopranos" when I had a pizza delivered and the pizza guy is threatning to sue me over offensive content, (yes I live in Utah) don't the delivery guys assume some kind of risk as part of the job of entering people's houses?

The people below me just moved in. Im not sure what is going on down there, but all they do is yell and scream and bang on the walls. I work nights, and sleep during the day. My roommates and I are college students. Should I goto the leasing office, or go down stairs and talk to the mother? Since they have moved in there has not been any peice and quiet. They dont go outside, and they are always home. Shouldnt they be in school or something? They cry and scream, and bang on the walls with their toys. I havent even seen the kids! They also dont go to sleep until around midnight either. The people before them were just as bad. Is this normal apartment noise? Or should I go talk to someone about this....Help me before i loose my sanity.

People come here to ask questions that they may feel to uncomfortable to ask directly to someones face and some of you heartless people say rude *** things. Most times when people come here its to get a straight answer or advice not to be told what to do with our lives, we all as people need options. and I think it to be wise for some of you rude people to think about what your going to say and house that would sound to you. Im not saying everyone is like this, but everytime I go to answer someones questions i read other peoples comments and everytime theres someone who is a smart *** sometimes theres more than one. Please grow up, im sure you have had some retarded questions in your day.

If you dont ask you'll never know.

you've told them that you go by the nickname and even though they don't have a personal friendship or family connection with you (which might give some people room to believe they have that option with you, for whatever reason)?

A Michael here, but I go by MIKE.

well shes always telling me what to do and shes not even manager or anything she's a regular worker like me. and if i dont do what she says she gets an atitude and gets all ghetto on me. Like 1 day at work she told me to go and clean the bathrooms and i was like "NO" because its the night crew responsibility to clean the bathrooms and she was like i dont care. she was like go do it and i told her that i have been workin there for 1 year and 2 months and i have never been told to clean the bathroom. and she just said go do it cause we dont wanna do when we close cause i was leaving at 5 and they close at 12 in the morning. i told her the night crew gets paid more because they have more responsibities before they close. and it made me really mad cause like the shift leader on duty didnt say anything because shes really lazy and all she does is just sit around and let everyone else do the work. so i dont know what to do cause i dont think she should be bossy with me.

I can't stand mine, well just on one side of our house, the other side they are just fine and nice. But this one family they moved in a couple years back, and they are driving my whole family nuts.

First their kid is nuts. He is in middle-school and they let him play around with guns, he makes loud explosion with chemicals, (that actually shake our windows), and he drives their car up and down the driveway no supervision and almost hit someone.

I think we could look past all this but they said some really mean things to my father, the day they moved in, and we really have never looked back. So what do you think of yours?

I encountered 2 ladies on Kew beach boardwalk here in Toronto with a pit bull without a mouth harness and because they couldn't control the dog, it broke away from it's leash and went straight to me, so I kicked it and picked up a stone and locked eyes with the dog... one lady said not to harm the dog, but the other went into hysterics uttering the word F*** you, maybe 20 times, bec. he said it was his son!! I was tongue tied, and couldn't utter a word but the pit bull froze in front of me so it was controlled eventually.In my culture, a four letter word literally means .... "Your mother is a whore.." or "Go &make love to your mother!" or .."Your mother's p**** smells BAd!! .So what does she mean when a raving mad person says to me ...F*** you!! , does she mean .. "I want to make love to you!! or "Make love to your self!!!

The other day I was at a major department store. It was evening so it was almost empty. I approached the checkout counter with my few items. The lady at the counter asked if I wanted to sign up for a charge card. I politely said no, I was paying using my check card. This is where the trouble began. For about at the very least 5 minutes, probably more she went on and on trying to convince me to get a card. After about 4 or 5 seperate times of me saying no thanks and her probaing why I didn't want a card I was a little more than frustrated and was about to just tell her to forget the entire purchase when a couple walked up behind me in line so she quickly rang me up and moved on. So my question is was this harrassment or just persistence. I know they probably have to get people to sign up for a card but you would think after 5 times of saying no thanks that they should let you be right???

Please give details of whereabouts in the world you are, and why you choose to tip that amount.

Sixty seconds should be plenty for most business calls. How do you gently encourage the caller that you have stuff to do?

A friend told me that we can wish a person 'good morning' even at evening or night if we are meeting him first time on that day.
is this true?

The problem is I don’t know who contributed what so it’s hard to refund the money. I’m thinking of just getting a present anyway and explaining to the lady that a collection was made when everyone thought she was leaving, what do you think?

Do they really think that someone intentionally tried to offend them or is it a power play?
