I don't understand why people should put their feet (with shoes) on opposite seats in trains and buses. Why do people spit, litter and switch on their mobile phone's music loud in public transport? I have visited Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong many times and am impressed by people's good manner there. Can anybody tell me why we Brits are so uncivilised while people in a developing country and a previous British colony are so well-behaved?

Is it proper for waiter to remove a salad plate from each person when they finish, or should they wait and remove every salad plate when all are finished?

I am currently at Uni and as most students are, I'm constantly broke and always trying new ways to make money. My room mate is an escort and has taken on a few private clients who call our flat quite often and also conducts her business from our flat , the thing is I have started taking her clients, when they call here to make appointments with her I offer them a competitive price and have them over when I know she won't be here. I have started making some pretty good money now and feel good about being able to afford new clothes, etc but should I tell me flatmate? Am I stealing from her?

I'm 45 business woman and I work as H.R. manager in a big multinational company.
Last week, during a big convention in an exotic location, I had to suffer terribly because of kidney stones.
After hours of excruciating pain and nobody who could help me, in spite of all my efforts, I didn't manage to fight back the tears and I started silently crying in front of many of my colleagues.
I felt very embarassed...
What do you think?
Have you ever experienced something similar?

My parents are European and whenever we eat dinner they scold me if I don't have both hands above the table. But from what I understand from friends, usually in a nice restaurant you should hold one hand under the table.. which is right?

The food in restaurants and hair cuts are already expensive enough and should cover a decent wage for the workers that work there. I am tired of having to tip everyone, I know I sound mean but when I am paying $25 for my meal plus drinks and dessert I don't like when it is time to pay and have to leave a $15-20 dollar tip for a small family dinner! It's ridiculous!

It's sort of astounding to me, that people are all concerned about the earth, the water, the animals... And yet those same people will treat other human beings like [insert the s word here]

How can we as humans do that to each other?

When I was 7 yrs old back in 1967, my aunt took my mom downtown to pay a bill. My cousins and I sat in the car, listening to the radio. A song came on, "Son of a preacher man". To my knowledge, there is nothing racially derrogatory about the lyrics of this song. But around the second chorus, some angry black woman of about 25 came to the car and stuck her head through the window and yelled, "Shut up, you little white b.itches!". None of us were over the age of 11. So...what we do to warrant that? Is there some hidden meaning in those lyrics that a white person wouldn't be aware of? To this day, I'll turn the radio off if I hear this song because it reminds me of this incident and pi.ss.es me off. So who was wrong? Us kids or the woman?

Why would someone possibly not want to be called, "muffin" in public?? "Pop Tart" I can understand, but, "muffin???" It's not like I'm calling her, "ho bag," or something. Don't get me wrong, I fully respect her wishes and never use this term of endearment when we are around others (aside from the occasional slip up), but I just don't understand why she has this attitude. She should be flattered! The worst thing is when I start to call her, "muffin," then realize it after I have already said, "muff," needless to say, I can't stop there, so I have to ad lib something, like, "Mufflers are so important, especially in a neighborhood setting." People are starting to think I'm crazy! Can someone please explain this to me?

Help- I was the maid of honor at my best friends wedding last week. When she was about to say I do, and the church was quiet, I let out a loud fart in my taffeta dress. Everyone stared, and I wanted to just die cause everybody heard it. Even the groom, so after when it was the reception, I looked in my underwear and it was a smear of feces that erupted all over the back of the dress too- Do I give the dress back? or blame it on food poidoning? I am so mortified, i do not know what to do. What is the etiqueette here??????

midnight and later. What would you do? The rules here are that if we call the police both the party who has complained and the offending party will be evicted. I have a note from my neurologist stating that I need regular sleeping patterns due to migraines and seizures; however the manager discounts my discussions regarding this neighbors exploits. Advice please?

So my girlfriend likes to wear thongs often. They look very good one her. The problem is that sometimes I do the laundry and well thongs are what they are - basically worn in between the cheeks all day and resting on the exit door so they are going to get strains no matter how clean a girl is. Anyway whenever I see one of her old thongs while washing it makes me turned off for a good week or two. I dont want her to stop wearing them but just to separate them from the regular laundry and wash them herself. Whats the best way to word this correctly without offending her?

My husband and I have been invited to a joint graduation party for two cousins tomorrow. Their mothers are sisters.

Cousin #1 is the daughter of a woman we both grew up with and who was our maid of honor. Her father is deceased. We lived away from the area most of her life, but we saw her and her mother nearly every time we came home to visit and have seen them quite often since we moved back home. She became friends with our daughter.

Cousin #2 is a young man we have met maybe one time. His mother is several years older than us. While we have known her as long as we've known Cousin #1's mother, we have never been close to her and haven't seen her in years. Both of his parents are alive.

We are giving cash to each of them for graduation presents. Should we give the same amount to both, or can we give Cousin #1 more?

Thanks!

I will be going to a singles party soon, and I expect that there will be men who are interested in me that I am not interested in. How do I tell them that I'm not interested? It just doesn't seem right to say "I'm not interested".

I work with males and females, but I'm having the most problems with the females. For some reason, they don't seem to like me. Maybe it's because I don't hang out in their "clicks." I keep to myself. And when I do say something, it's usually the truth that they don't like to hear. I have one woman who's always jumping down my throat. And another woman who has tried several times to get me into trouble with the boss. She has also threatened me several times. I had another woman recently accuse me of starting a rumor about her and it wasn't me. It was one of the male employees. But she doesn't like me, so she just wanted to blame me. I'm trying to ignore them but it isn't easy. I want to leave there because I'm tired of working in that kind of atmosphere, but I'm afraid I'm too old to get a steady job somewhere else. What do you think I should do? Don't tell me to talk to them because they're not the kind that will be reasonable. They'd rather fight.
