Etiquette - August 2007

I love the library because there are so many books and things to learn. However, the librarians alway ruin it for me. I only ask for help when I seriously can not find the book I need. I do know how to use the search engine and I do know how use the net.. I am not stupid.. just help me out!!!

I've always been kind of a loner (grew up an only child) and now I'm moving away to college to live with a roommate. I'm very nervous about this. I doubt my roommate will like me because most people my age like to party and I dont. What should I do?

I'm a teenage guy and I'm wondering if I should be offended when calls me "the C word" or if I should just not think much of it (like when someone uses "the F word")?

Hi. My daughter's new cheerleading coach is having a "meet and greet" swim party to introduce all the girls on the squad and their parents to each other. What sort of hostess gift would you take to this party? We've never met, so alcohol is definitely out.

She got very angry with me for that,

It's not like I said it loudly, it just kinda slipped out.

The kid was being obnoxious, he needed to be told, right?

I work in customer service, and it really grates on my nerves when rich donors come in and act like you should know who they are and give them whatever they ask for, no questions asked.

To me, every customer is the same. The poor single mom who is on a financial scholarship to be able to even attend deserves the same attention.

There is a congressman who comes into my work. He never identifies himself, he just stands at the locked doors and shrugs his shoulders like he doesn't understand why it isn't opening for him. I don't know him, I don't know his name... all I know if I don't like him because he expects me and my coworkers to bend over backwards for him. Sure, there are always going to be clients who you go the extra mile for.. but those are the clients who come in, know your name, ask how your children are by name, and are actually friendly. Of course you would do anything to make them happy.

So just because someone donates money to the organization you work for, does

You're going to visit a guy friend. It starts out as a short visit but you end up staying so late that you are better off staying over. It might be a platonic visit, or it might not -- but either way, you don't have any personal items with you. What amenities would you want/love to find in the bath? What your guy friend have to provide to be going the extra mile?

People who promise to pay you back money they borrowed from you at a specific time, & then the time comes, & you remind them about it, & then they say again that they're gonna do it, & then say, "Oops! I forgot. Remind me tomorrow at noon." That time comes, & then they get annoyed & threaten to report you for harrassment to the police or threaten to kick your @$$. People do that to me all the time, & it hurts. It just happened to me.

My mom is the assistant manager at a hotel. When I was going to school, I would help out there whenever they were short handed. I was the breakfast hostess (I was in charge of the breakfast bar...keeping it stocked, cleaning up and so on as well as cleaning the rest of the hotel such as the lobby, hallways, stairwells, bathrooms....everything besides the hotel rooms). People amazed me. Parents would let their children make such messes and not even bother with it....I remember once a kid dumped a whole mess of cheerios in the floor and stomped on them. His mother actually laughed and then looked at the mess and then at me as if to say "Are you going to clean that up or just leave it sitting there?"

Though, that's really nothing to what my mom has to deal with. People seem to think that you owe them something...it's really unbelievable how some act. I would never behave that way nor would I let my children. Thankfully, though, this is not the majority of people. But the ones who do behave badly leave quite an impression...

This is my little rant for the day...lol, I'm annoyed right now.

I say I am fuccked if I know if I cannot answer the question and when they say tell me about yourself I say what the ***** is it to you. I would be good for the job and am qualified but they need to be more open minded about me. I am trainable and have skills I just get aggressive of the attitudes some people have to interviews and the humiliation tactics they use to mess with your head. Some interviews I do not swear but when they are arrogant I think stuff you I would not want to work for you you lsoer.

I was seriously ill for about 8 months. I lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. I'm finding nearly impossible to put back on. I'm 5'7 and weigh 95lbs right now, where I used to weigh about 120/125.I work in a large place and I deal with many departments, so a lot of people know who I am, but don't know me personally or what I've gone through. I get so many comments about being to skinny, it not being healthy, looking like Nicole Ritchie, ect. I've heard people make even more rude comments in whispers to their coworkers.

Why do people find it okay to make comments about my weight? They wouldn't look at someone overweight and tell them they were too fat or needed to go on a diet. Why is it okay for them to tell me I'm too skinny? What can I say to these rude people. I don't want to be known as the poor sick girl, but being known as the anorexic freak might be worse.

I dated this guy 2 years ago, he was there 4 me when I was going thru an abusive relationship. He was the one that talked some senses into me n convinced me 2 leave the abusive relationship 4 good.
We dated for several months after, then he moved away. We've lost contact since. He didn't write much n I decided to stop writing him because I was going thru a lot of issues n I felt like always dumping my problems on him. I fetl I needed 2 deal with my problems on my own.
2 years has passed, my life has been much better, n I'm getting myself together. I've moved on n I'm now in a new relationship. Recently, I ran into him but it was so awkward. I wanted to talk to him, but my boyfriend was with me and he felt really insecure that my ex was there. So I didn't get to talk 2 him much because I felt it wasn't the right time n now I wished I did. I just want to tell him thank u for talking senses into me years ago n let him know I'm better now. Should I send him a card, or let it go?

Are you turned off after you see them without it or do you still feel the same way about them?

I thought that treating people nice would get you respect, but apparently not. I see a lot of rude people who get respect, but I'm polite & don't get it. I do give it, though.

I know it is illegal for them to ask me that, but would it be to my advantage to tell them without being asked? Maybe say something like," Seeing as I am single and childless I would have no problem working overtime" Or could it backfire on me somehow? Or should I wait to mention it after an offer, when negotiating salary?
