Etiquette - June 2007

If I am unable to attend a wedding, do I send back the RSVP? There is no space to check for unable to attend only for number of people attending.

Whenever I am out with a dude or a group of people I can never engage in a actual conversation. I have always been quiet (i'm 25) I don't know what's wrong. Please help.

how a woman can be more feminine and proper, both in dress and in communication? This will largely depend on your personal background and beliefs, so if you can also state your cultural background, it would be helpful.

Can you provide one or two specifics.....

There is this girl at work who seems to think she is invited to my wedding,

I went to book the date at the register office she is saying 'Am I sure that I want to get married there, why not at the BOTANICAL GARDENS?' She was saying this while I was on the way out to book at the register office!!

She then thinks she is invited to the wedding and is probably awaiting an official invite, then she expects me to pay her so sing at my wedding!!

Do you think that is cheeky?

Tell me what kind of person gossips? A sad, depressed one?
Do they usually have a family, and children or friends? Are they mentally ill, and what kind of jobs do they hold.

I speak here of a SERIOUS GOSSIPER bent on people's destruction, and malicious slander.

I want to know. I knew of a gossiper who was alone. miserable, depressed alcoholic. She was married one week and the family threw her out, because she was toxic to her husband. She likes to destroy people through her sulfuric tounge and says she enjoys backstabbing people.

The apartment building next to my house is only about 6 feet away from my kitchen window. My window over the sink is high enough to just look over the concrete privicy wall between the buildings. So when I do dishes I face the sliding glass doors into the apartment next door. The sliding glass door faces the wall and seem to be the only windows in the tiny apt.
I have seen my neighbor naked/dressing several times. He does have a privacy wall and does not face public property(so not considered indecent exposure). He is very nice and kind of cute, decent body with a little extra weight. But i feel bad cuz he has no natural light if he shuts the blinds and has no other room to chance since it is a bachelor style apt.
What should I do? I am not offended really. Would you say something to him? If so what? Is it wrong to just let it go and keep seeing him like that?

and saying, No Thank You, as the person cooking makes way too many leftovers, they just say Yes, I'll take it, thanks.

Then as soon as they go home, they throw it out in the woods!

Have you ever heard of anyone else doing this, or is it just my crazy family?

I am going to visit a friend and her husband for five days, and I would like to take them a nice host and hostess gift. Does anyone have any good ideas? Neither of them drink so a bottle of wine or something similar would not be a good choice for them.

I want to ask my doctor if he's gay. I know it's none of my business but sometimes he sounds so camp. I can't help it because sometimes he talks manly but sometimes his mannerisms are feminine. He is quite attractive and I just have to know if he is in fact gay. What is a polite way to ask him? Any suggestions would be very helpful.

If smokers are made to stand outside, won't it be like apartheid in South Africa when black people had to stand at the back of the bus?

Should we be victimising smokers or helping them?

When I getmarried, I am getting my grandmothers huge $45k ring. It is the most spectacular ring I've ever seen. I am also getting an engagement/ wedding ring to wear on my left hand. Can I wear my grandmothers on my right hand? Do I not wear it? Or should I just wear it on the left hand? I would be the second generation of the ring. No traditions yet :)

I thought people were considerate to pregnant women. I'm 7 months pregnant and wore a tight shirt today, and while I was out running errands, people kept commenting on my pregnancy so obviously everyone can tell that I'm pregnant.

I just got back from Walgreens, where I had to wait 10 minutes to check out because some woman and the young cashier were rambling on and on about nothing while I had my money out and ready to go with my little 4 items and wondered why she couldn't ring me up real quick. The woman wasn't even buying anything, just asking questions.

I'm not saying pregnant women should get to skip lines or have special parking spaces, but it would have taken 2 seconds to ring me out and it is getting harder for me to move and stand around. I am always considerate to people even if they aren't elderly, pregnant or disabled. I'm so considerate that I didn't even interrupt their conversation and waited instead.

Ok, I have a 10-yr acquaintance w/ someone ("friend" is too strong a word), and she's been in school the entire time I've known her. (She's over 40) I just got married in Feb, and we plan to move out of the country by year's end. Meanwhile, I'm paying off all of my student loans. I RSVP'd that I was unable to go to the graduation party that she threw for herself. Two days ago, she called me up asking me for money. I told her I didn't have any. She then said, "Well, I thought I'd call up the people who didn't buy me a graduation gift to see if they could just give me money instead." BOY, was I hot! I also decided she will get absolutely nothing from me just b/c of that phonecall. Am I being insensitive?
