Etiquette - June 2007

I put in my letter of resignation in at my job as a box office manager and a local theatre. Right now we are in an 8 week run of a show that i am also performing in. I said my last day would be the last day of the show, thinking i was doing them a favor but all they did was say ok, thanks. Now im hearing alot of news thats making up some shady stuff and I really just wanna get out of here. I know etiquette is two weeks, is it right to change my last day and how would i do it?

I was married last Friday. A very high class ceremony with all the trimmings. Anyway, a long story short:

We did all the normal stuff - speeches, dinner, 1st dance…. However, I will admit, I did rush through greeting / thanking all the guests so I could grab the 'gift box' filled with all the money envelopes.

I finished the last table & told my wife I had to use the men's room - instead a took the box to our room and counted all the money. It was eating me alive to see how much these people gave. No family of 4 at my wedding is giving $35 and getting away with it!!

About 90 minutes later my wife and some other concerned guests found me in the hotel room. I explained what I was doing but they were very angry. They even SWORE at me!!!

I really was not gone that long & don't think it is that big of a deal. I wanted to make sure we made a profit on the wedding.

She is still fuming mad - states she was embarrassed. What is wrong so wrong with what I did?

cherries. someone told me that you're not supposed to eat them in public because you have to spit out the seeds... but if you DO eat them in public, what's the polite way to get rid of the seeds?

what to say with out coming on too creepy and strong. Say the girls are laying on the beach on their towels, it takes b##ls to go up to them, what if they reject you, you feel like a smuck. Im average looking, not some hot stud with a tan and huge junk with muscles.

I had a baby last year and now I'm due in a few months. My friends want me to have a baby shower, but I don't know if I should, I was told that it is tacky to have a baby shower after the first baby. I threw my cousin a baby shower a few days ago and this is her 9th baby. No one said anything and she's had them with all of her kids. What I'm asking really is it really tacky to have a baby shower the second time, should I tell them I don't want one?

I have been seeing a girl (as friends) for 3+ weeks now and have grown quite fond of her. We have played pool, we jog together, danced at a wedding, watched a movie, she made me dinner at her house... lots of fun things, but she is very strict in her Mexican/ Catholic culture and I am wondering if it is too soon to ask if I can be her boyfriend. I believe that she /does/ have an interest in me as a boyfriend and that is why I don't know if I should push it on her too soon. The timing never seems right to ask her because her culture is so much different than what I am used to. Also, since she isn't allowed to be flirtatious in any way, it makes my feelings seem one-sided. I could use all of the help I can get. I'm looking for some good advice on how to get this relationship going without the fear of offending her beliefs. Also, some creative ideas for asking her or some spanish words of love would be appreaciated. Thx in advance!

My boyfriend and I of 2 1/2 years received a wedding invitation in the mail only addressed to him from a couple who KNOWS we are dating. We have actually been dating longer than they have even known each other. I'm sure its assumed that I am invited but I think its quite rude that my name is not even listed on the invitation. It doesn't even say "guest". My bf thinks I'm blowing this out of proportion but I would never do that to someone else. What do you guys think?

Is it okay to expect that they will provide at least some refreshments, maybe even a meal if it takes that long? Is it rude for them not to?

that is leaving and you don't really like her? I was thinking some of those Harry Potter jelly beans, but then again that may cost to much

My boyfriend is a cross dresser and wants me to take him out dressed as a woman. I would like to do this but we are both worried about peoples reactions. I don't want him to lose his confidence if he is ridiculed. What experiences have you had? Where did you go?

This guy is relatively harmless, but the neighbors say he is schizophrenic. He doesn't work, and frequently is up late at night on his porch naked wearing only a black "dungeons and dragons" robe. He also makes weird comments to my wife, I'm pretty sure it's obvious he's somewhat obsessed with both of us, especially her. Now, add to that we just had a baby girl, and I'm worried that something could happen. Again, he is relatively harmless, and he means well (frequently cuts our lawn and "helps" with things), but he's not playing with a "full deck of cards". Again, moving is out of the question right now, for at least a few years.

Our admin assistant is a smoker, and sometimes she has these terrible coughing fits! I don't know if I should say "are you okay?" or say nothing because obviously it's the smoking that causes it. It doesn't really bother me that she coughs, I just don't know if I should rush over there and act concerned or let her cough it out.

I was promoted recently and my boss is forgetful. He forgot my bday and ended up running out and getting me a box of stale donuts. I don't eat donuts :( Of course I ate one, smiled and said thanks. He went on a cruise and didn't bring anything back. I know he appreciates me because he verbally tells me daily what a great job I did. Also, I got the promotion over all the other girls he interviewed and people in our office after only working here 4 months.

Today, it is another girls bday and her boss (different than mine) brought her in a cute gift bag and in it was a VERY cute coach bag. Very thoughtful, since she only uses coach bags and not the standard purse. He went on the same cruise as my boss and brought her back some kind of Rum Cake thing, thoughful. I totally like this girl, she's way cool and fun to work with, so I have nothing against her.
I can't help but feel somewhat jealous... I know, it's not right to feel that way... but I do. :( Maybe he just doesn't know me yet?
