Etiquette - May 2007

Her memorial is tonight, its only going to be family, and I'm just the girlfriend. I never met her. Is it appropriate to go or should I decline and give my boyfriend flowers to take.

*My guy and I are 27, been dating almost 2 years, but its not that serious, b/c he talks about he's not ready to get married yet.*

Should I go?

My boss is President of an International Association this year. This association is an Alumni Association for the college he graduated from. He (which means I) has been planning this annual meeting for the past several months, and it will take place in L.A. in July. (Local for us) He expects me to stay at the meeting all 3 days (he'll pay for the room) greet people, do registration, answer any questions, see them to their rooms, etc.
I don't want to. Shouldn't people from his own Association do this? Isn't that what a "hospitality" committee is for? He also wants me to wear traditional clothing from his culture. Am I being petty?

My sister says that you can't wear strappy sandals to a black tie event. That only shoes with nylons is acceptable. What say you?

Not that I condone getting drunk and almost choking to death on a lame career and a hamburger...and I certainly sympathize with this guy having all kinds of money and beating women off with a stick...but after hearing that intervention, and seeing how I am amazed he hasn't committed suicide yet...can we really blame him for wanting to drink? She was annoying the hell out of me and I was sober.

When people ask questions why do some simple people insist on wasting there own time by writing smart, rude or thoughtless answers. I often wonder do these people lead such sad lives that they have nothing better to do than be on here answering questions with smart unuseful answers. Why dont they go an get a life or better still if there that sad just go and crawl in to a dark hole and be negative by yourself. No wonder the world is so negative with people like that in it!!

Any troll on an internet message board is "doing it for the the lulz" (look it up). They are wanting attention and want us to get angry. So doesn't arguing back at their bigotry mean they are getting what they want? Is the best solution to report and leave trolls alone so they go away out of their own eBoredom?

He shut his back door so hard I heard it along with him snapping the storm door shut. Am I being a baby, or should he have waited until I got in to my car before leaving me in the dark? My car was parked next to the road in front of his house.

I just want to know how to say it when you see someone that you don't expect to be at a place, not in a rude way, more like "I didn't expect to see you," sort of thing

I work at a preschool and a co-worker is having trouble making ends meet. Last month the church paid her $1200 rent. When I came home from school today there was a message on my answering machine from her friend. She is asking us all to donate money from "the kindness of our hearts". She only needs $750 more....yada yadda. OK...so all of us at school only make $8/hour. Do you think I should feel guilty for not contributing? Shouldn't she have caught up on her rent by now given that she had a free ride last month? I just don't get it. She comes to school w/ nice clothes and highlighted hair. I just think something is not right.

I am starting college next year and I will be living in the dorms and sharing a room. Will I get picked on because I wear briefs? I do not want to start wearing boxers because I think briefs are more comfortable. Will the other students be mean to me? I don't want to get pantsed or a wedgie.

So what do you do if you know someone who doesn't like you? And it could be for something you don't have much control over like your appearance, ethnic background, religion, or maybe it's the way you talk. What do you do if you have to be classmates with this person? Or worse, co-workers.

My friend is having her parents 25th wedding anniversary party at a local restaurant. She cannot afford everyone's meal so people will be paying for their own food. I know there is some phrase or term that is used on invitations to make people aware of this.

Thanks for any help!

Im not talking about couples who say 'what do you think of this hun?' but women who will speak to other women in patronizing tones like - ' you really shouldnt wear that hun' etc etc. As if they think they are such know it alls.
