Etiquette - July 2007

A lot of the time when I am walking along the street, people heading towards me, who are walking in parallel with other people, don't move out of the way.

Frequently, this means I have to step into the road or go right across to the other side of the pavement, whereas all they need to do is fall back one pace, so they are not inline with the person they are walking with. Then I can get through.

Surely if they have the option of dropping back one space, so they can't walk next to the other person for just a few seconds, this is the fair thing to do?

Am I in the wrong? Or are people selfish gits?

This is in response to the guy or gal who said the movie theatre crank up the volume of a show to cover the noise of the audience. Seems to me people can visit with friends at home. This is no excuse of the theatre people to "crank up the volume" . enough said.

I'm looking for compliments like, "you are unique" or "no one else can do what you do." You know, ones that could apply to anyone.

I posted a question "if you could help someone, would you?" and posted a link to someone's site who really needed help. Some pathetic piece of crap person on yahoo answers reported it as a violation and had it removed. Come on! People like that need to grow up and stop being so negative! Those are the miserable wretches that are nothing in this world except for a useless waste of space! That's what I get for trying to do good.

I said "bless you" to a co-worker who sneezed. Unfortunately, she proceeded to sneeze 12 times in a row and I didn't know if I should say "bless you" after each sneeze or wait until she finished?

Like in Korean nail shops they chatter in their language to each other while they do my nails. It makes me REALLY uncomfortable. I respect their culture but once a friend of mine understood a little Korean and they were talking about her.

I am always running into people saying that " they know me somewhere". Then proceed to try " to figure out" where they know me from by asking me questions like What school you go to? Where do you live? Where do you work? , etc. This is irritating. I am a private person and I don't divulge personal information to people I am not familar with. What are some good ways to answer this question without divulgling a lot of personal information, and without being offensive?

I was thinking of maybe losing my shoes while I'm there or better yet, just not wearing any to begin with. How many other people lose there shoes when they go to the library or do most people just leave there shoes on. Also, who thinks it would be cool if I just went in without shoes and didnt bother to bring any?

There is so much to be desired in the days of our parents and grandparents, when the young respected and reverred the elders in the society;
just wondering, would bringing back respect improve the moral decadence in society? or perhaps reduce or curb crime? what are your thoughts?

I can't even finish taking a dump unless I have a photo of Martin Mull on hand so I can stroke his blonde mustache in my dreams as I pinch one off. My life partner, Gerald, says he doesn't mind the posters, but he won't do the Mr. Mom backyard race celebration dance before he plows me. So i'm like geez, so how am I supposed to bust one off, you selfish silly goose. Anyways, I was dying to meet Mr. Mull so i went to the Premiere of Mrs. Doubtfire in L.A. and waited in line for three days and nights just to get a peek. Finally, When he walked passed me I slammed a fistful of mustard into his buttcrack and screamed "Bring it on home, Banana-Lip!" and then I went home and made a celebratory handprint onto a posterboard and outlined it in macaroni. It still hangs on my fridge and I whack to it regularly.

She's usually very pretty, and was even more so today, but I wanna keep things professional between us, especially since she's married, and I don't know how best to handle a situation like this.

The other day, this woman SLAMMED into the back of my car as I was stopped at a stoplight. She was lighting a cigarette and not paying attention. I then motioned her to pull over with me and she TOOK OFF. There was hardly any damage (nothing that I will have fixed) and I filed a police report. I have her name and am going to write her a letter just so she knows how mad I am and that she really needs to be more careful. Should I include my name on this? Or is that dangerous? What an idiot!!

Hello -
Recently I've been introduced into maid training by my gf. I've been given examples of creative punishments she has in mind. I don't know if these are made to scare me or not. So now I'm wondering if any other sissy maids are out there who have had creative punishments?

Imagine you are on a beach. There's a woman you find utterly attractive. She's wearing this killer bikini.

Do you sneak a peak at her crotch if you are sure she is not going to see you looking?

What if she is someone in your social circle?
Suppose, she is a friend.
Or maybe your best friend's wife or something.
Would that, alone, be a deterrent?

Remember, noone is going to catch you looking at her privates under the bikini.
Do you do it?

Do you know someone that answers every question like that? Where do you want to go for lunch? It doesn't matter. Would you like to drive? It doesn't matter. When do you want to leave? It doesn't matter. Isn't that kind of rude?

Picking someone up at the airport was a simple affair; you drove up to arrivals and they got in. Now, because of security, cars are not allowed near and you must park up in short stay car parks. I went to Manchester and it cost me £5.10 for just over an hour. I bet they keep this system going. Nice earner ! Are we being conned.

My two little sisters have their friends (that live down the street) over EVERY DAY from sun up to sun down. I mean, literally. They run around our house screaming and talking loudly. They also make huge messes around the house and don't clean them up. I want to get rid of them, but my parents won't help.

My mom works night shift, so she sleeps all day and is a pretty hardy sleeper. They don't wake her up usually. My dad is at work from 8am to 5pm, and will send them home when we eat dinner, but they'll come back when we're done.

How do I get rid of them? My mom HAS tried making rules, but my sisters don't listen. At least they don't eat all of our food anymore...
