Etiquette - August 2007

Do you find women wearing Thong bathing suits degrading? I don't understand why they'd want their azz hanging out for all to see. Is it desperation, attention seeking, exhibitionism...what's your take on this subject?

I had a rude awakening this morning, with the neighbours at it at 4am!

It was the woman I heard, she was moaning and groaning so loudly!

She was shouting 'F*** me' and was really really loud!

We live in a block of flats and there are children that live in the flats with their parents!

What do you think of this?

So my coworker just got a business letter addressed, "Dear Ken," he said to me.....what do you think of a business letter starting with Dear? Dear is considered a term of endearment and therfore should not be used in formal business?

To me the term is just fine - but in our PC society what do others think???

The other day I was in the store when I just so happened to see a girl with shorts that seemed to be about a size or two too small for her, and the top she had on could hardly be called a shirt at all. This was not the first time I had been grossly disterbed by the way others of my gender dress. We seem to be living in a time were less is more, when in fact its just less. Now dont get me wrong I am all for a modestly short skirt or V-Neck top, and there is nothing wrong with a shirt that shows off a bit of curves. But some girls seem to have forgotten that something should be left to the imagination. I say "Always leave them wanting more". I personally would like to see girls dressed in skirts not tea towles, shirts that has more coverage than a bra, and speaking of Bras the are called UNDERWEAR for a reason!!!!! I mean c'mon ladies lets have a bit more self respect and keep our "privates" just that! We can be sexy without showing it all!
And by the way I am only 23, and nicely shaped

She's 25 and just got thick, blunt-cut bangs across her forehead. They look really, really bad. Is there any point in telling her? It's not like she can grow them out right away.

She does things at work like clipping her toenails or playing her music too loud. She also gives TMI about her health issues and tells everyone when she comes to work without bathing. I want to anonymously give her a clue that her behavior is totally inappropriate.

I have been friends with this woman and her husband for almost 2 years now. She is only 28 y/o, a few years younger than me. Well they both burp all the time, sometimes saying excuse me. Actually, they belch more than burp. I spend more time with her than with him. While I like her a lot as a person, this burping and belching is truly disgusting. I don't think she realizes how nasty it is. I can't take it anymore. How do I tell her?

I am quitting my job next Thursday and I'm giving the boss my notice tomorrow (8/23/07). This has been a terrible job with a terrible boss, but I want to at least give a one week notice just so it doesn't look like I abandoned the job (although she totally deserves it!!!). I know you are supposed to say something positive about the company and your job, but frankly I don't wan to and I know it will come off as fake. I just need simple ideas on what to write and what to say when I give it to her. I will never work here again, but I don't want her to bad mouth me if potential employers call for work references. I'm also going to give her a self-addressed stamped envelope so she can mail my last check (I don't want to see her face ever again). This is what I have so far:

Circumstances require that I resign my position here at _________effective Thursday, August 29, 2007. I have decided to take this time to evaluate my current goals and investigate new opportunities.

Any more ideas?

My mother told me when my birthday past that she was treating me to a nice hotel in atlantic city, i turned 26. I didnt really want to go. Well she wants to go for one night.stay over, leave the next day. Now she mentioned to me shes not sure which credit card to use to charge it, cause she owes alot of money on all her cards. I told her to forget it, its ok, we dont have to go. Problem is she told my brother were going, he asked his boss for the day off to go. And hes set going. The room is $330 for one night, its a suite but only 1 big room, which means my brother would be sleeping in there. He snores, we have nothing in common, hes a heavy set computer geek, all he talks about day and night is computers, his job and all his money, nothing else, hes also socially inept. When he sits at dinner, he looks all around to make sure no one is looking at him, gets nervous when a pretty girl talks to him, etc..
Noe hes demanding to go, i dont want to, am i right?

You're watching TV and your flatmate decides to make a phone call, but don't move from the lounge meaning that they are talking over the telly and you can't concentrate on the TV show?? Even though is a mobile phone and they could be polite and leave the room so as to not disturb anyone?

I use to love Mike Vick until this dog fighting thing came about, Anyone who could be that repeatedly cruel to anything living that is cruel. And you know certain things can make you automatically loose any type of good feeling you have towards some1. I had a boyfriend 34 at the time his son was 16 he and his son didnt get along. And his son like to come by my house oneday and when i told him he called his son a RAT!! My whole out look of him changed in 1 mili sec we didnt last long after that. So do you agree that 1 thing a person does can have you change how you feel about a person I dont care if it was my daddy if he did what Vick did to those dogs I would def. look at him diff.. Or if he told me his son was a rat

It's morning 9:30 and I don't want to go to work. I don't feel so great. Do I need to call or tell someone?

If I'm not there people will just think it's a 'free day' or that I'm busy with something. Or no-one will notice.

to you-wouldn't you be suspicious of her? I sing solo's at my church, and she approaches me, and asks me if I will sing w/her-says she's always wanted to get up and sing, but she's really nervous. I say sure-I mean, I'll help someone out. But before this, she's always been REALLY hateful and snotty and stuck-up acting-for no reason-just cuz she apparently thinks she's better than everyone else. Wouldn't you be a little suspicious of her motives?

When I have a doctor's appointment I have to wait in the big public waiting room for between 1.5 to 3.5 hours to get in for my appointment (an appointment that lasts maybe 5-10 minutes if I'm lucky). Once I get put in the private little exam room I have to wait 20 minutes to 1 hour for the doctor to see me. The receptionists & doctor never say they're behind schedule when I ask & never apologize. I've changed doctor's four times in the last five years & they're all the same.
One friend said I should wait in the big waiting room no longer than 1/2 the time my time with the doctor will last but that'd only be 2.5-5 min. Another friend said good manners means I should wait 20 minutes & no longer.
I'm tired of having to lose half a day's pay (no weekend appointments available & walk-in clinics make me wait up to 5 hours) just to get a presciption or something.
How long should I wait? If a hairdresser or bank made you wait 3 hours, you'd leave, right?

Have gotten comments like, "we have miss talkative over here!" or "stop making so much noise over there! You're so loud!!"

All I can do is shyly smile and look down bashfully. Why do people say things like that?
