Etiquette - June 2007

An older guy where I live keeps making inappropriate sexual innuendos towards me and other women - he says it's my lack of sense of humour, and refuses to accept that his behaviour is wrong. An example of what he does is today, he said he wished i was younger so that he could 'internet groom' me. So what I'm asking is a) am i right to feel aggrieved? and b) what should i do about it? Thank you!

I know, I know, they all mean well. But I feel those are pet names you reserve for people close to you.

How many people who go to stripclubs like to sit in the front row and give only one dollar when the stripper comes around collecting? I tried this last night and its the most economical way to visit the strip club.

When I'm out with my friends we love taking pictures of us all together wherever we are at. However, if you're at a really fancy restaurant, is it rude or distracting to other customers to take more than one picture? Do restaurants not like this either?

Some of my friends think its fine to take a bunch in this situation, but one of our friends hates doing this because she thinks its rude.

Due to chemotherapy, I have lost my hair. I shaved what little was left, so I'm completely bald. You loose thirty to fifty percent of your body heat through your head, so wearing something on the head just traps in heat. This overheats me to the point that I feel faint, even in shops. I was talking to Mum and one of her friends and announced that I no longer care what other people think. I'm not wearing hats or head-scarves or wigs. If people don't like the sight of a young-ish (I'm 29) bald woman, they needn't look. Mum saw no problem with it. She said if I'm comfortable, who cares. The friend said that there are times that we should do things simply to make other people comfortable.

Who is right? Mum and I, or the friend?

So when we were put on this Earth we weren't given tissues. Were we supposed to blow our noses into our hands? Are bugers good for our noses? I think our fingers are perfect sizes and shapes to get those suckers. I don't think eating bugers is good. Our nose hairs caught them for a reason (To keep them out of our bodies), but shouldn't we take them out? Why aren't fingers acceptable. What about at home.

This morning I was at the donut shop and this lady threw her money down on the counter when paying for her stuff. Then she held her hand out so that the cashier could put the money in her hand but the cashier set the money down on the counter. I always give the cashier the money in their hands because thats just how I was taught but I never knew why. Anyways the lady cursed the cashier and the cashier explained that you do onto others as you want others to do onto you and all that good stuff. Anyway, Is this rude and why is it rude?

It seems like everyone knows someone who smokes pot. Based on this, shouldn't it be legalized or decriminalized?

Recently here at work I was notified that a bumper sticker I had on my car either had to be removed or covered up because someone reported it to security as an offensive sticker. I said: If I wanted a B*tch I'd buy a dog. As I tried to exlpain to some of those I work with, I didn't see it as offensive since it wan't meant or directed at anyone in general I did cover it up and have since found out who complained, although they don't know I know. I also found out the complaint was part of a personal attack launched at me for personal reasons. So my question is this, do women in general feel as though that sticker was offensive? I just can't see it as such.

WWYD??
I was at a friend's house yesterday..she is going through some hard times...well her landlord came looking for rent...he was pounding and yelling and ringing the door bell,,we thought it was an emergency because of the hysterical way he did it..when she answered the door he said," I don't care if you have to beg,borrow,or steal the money..
sell or pawn everything you own..I want some money by Sunday!" Then he turns and walks off w/o even giving her a chance to respond...do you think this was out of line? He has a right to be upset, but I think he could have handled it better than going off the deep end and yelling at her..and was he making threats? I want my money Sunday or...or what?? Would he have acted different if her husband had been home?? Just played up the fact that she is a female and he wanted to intimidate her? I personally think he is a ****** for this and would tell him to f off...what would you do???

I was wondering about this. Women want equality, right? So they have to accept the good and the bad. I want an answer out of the typical scope of 'men are bigger, the woman starts it, etc'.

Should this be socially accepted...in self defense? Also I'm not familiar on this cultural aspect, but do are women encouraged to hit back if the man strikes first? I want a serious answer.

Well my parents have this rule where they won't let me change out of my school uniform after school Monday-Friday. Not only do I have to stay in it, I cannot untuck my shirt either. I also have to stay in it Saturday and Sunday if I have to go to school on one of those days for something. I have to stay in it until I'm getting ready for bed, then I change into my PJs. But what is the point of this? How do they benefit?

I seem to be unable to give people condolences when a loved
one dies when they are only an acquaintance. For example,
one of the nurses on my job recently lost her son in a car
accident. This happened about a month ago. When I saw her
today I said nothing in regards to it. My thinking is that when
people are trying to get through grief they don't need to be
constantly reminded about the loss of a loved one.
Am I wrong in this? How would you like to be treated by
coworkers or if you were in that situation?

I am a eastern European white guy who moved from the north to the south. Up north, half of my friends are black. They all act cool. We are all equals. I listen mostly to Rap music.
When I moved to the south, I noticed blacks acting completely racist to me (staring me down in public places; if I am in a restaurant they say "here" when they hand you the food instead of "have a nice day;" and I know this because a lot of my other white friends said the same thing. This is why most of my friends from up north say the same old saying "I like black people, but I hate n****s." I agree. There is no excuse as to why they should be acting this way. They are simply acting out of ignorance. Any black person in America has more opportunities and a better life than most white people in the rest of the world yet they act like they got shorted on something. Stop being racist and get over it.

Well my mom has this new rule. When I get home, I cannot change out of my school uniform (Mon.-Thurs.) until all my homework is completed. Studying for tests do not count, but if I get a C+ or lower, I have to wear my school uniform all day Friday after school. I'm not even allowed to untuck my shirt when I get home. As for the weekends, Friday I can change when I get home (unless I got a C+ or lower). Saturday, I can wear whatever I want. But Sunday, after 8:00 AM Mass, I have to change into my school uniform and stay in it until all my homework is completed. I'm free to do any work on Friday and Saturday, but I'm usually busy those days. And since I'm in honors classes, and since it's a Catholic school, I'm get so much homework every night, especially on the weekends. So is this fair for me?
