Etiquette - August 2007

hey, we have been dating casually (he says) for about 6 months. i've met practically his whole family (met his mom & sister on like our 4th date) and this weekend I'm meeting his father's side of the family.. it always stresses me out. not sure what to do, and the actual meeting is always so awkward for me...... his mom gave me a huge hug upon meeting me for the first time, but I never know proper ettiquete so I usually wait for someone else to initiate something....

I am trying to praise the good lord and i can only hear their butt cheeks resonating against the wooden pew. We need to make a special, designated section of church, seniors only. What makes them think they can interrupt mass just because theyre old??

Believe me, I'm not making any of this up. I was getting one of those nice massages at this hotel. I had just eaten two tacos an hour before. I was so relaxed that I didn't even realize that I farted really loud while getting my massage. The massager kept sniffing and I saw his eyes water and he left me stranded there. Was this rude of him? He didn't charge me, by the way.

Perhaps it's because people don't know what to say, but this really bothers me because it seems to be what a lot... too many... people fall back on when paying their respects. It feels meaningless and hollow.

It could also be that whenever you see a story in the press about death, the quote comes up.

What do you usually say when someone passes on and you want to extend your sympathies?

without you knowing prior to receiving it?

I was recently at a "chain" restaurant with 9 people...The server was slow and forgot many things during the course of the meal....Got the bill and a 18% gratuity was added in....ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? Should we be forced to pay this even though the service was maybe worth 5%?

When I asked one of the other girls she avoided the question. SO i know it's true. How do I handle myself around her and the girls talking about wedding plans? I guess you should really get your list together before you start asking people and then changing your mind. I hope to God she doesn't ask me to be a greeter. I will definatley decline. Insulted, yes I am.

I'm told the boyfriend is ALWAYS over their apartment. Not only is he there, but he also eats there and never ever contributes to the household expenses.

Spending the night is ok with her but spending 5 to 6 nights per week is a bit too much.

What do you think?

Okay, well...I'm half korean, so my mom's side of the family always wants to talk to me. I can understand korean, but I have trouble speaking it because I don't use it everday. I'm just use to hearing my mom speak it all the time.

The littler kids (ages 13-18) are learning english, but they tend to fall back by using korean. And...I can only SPEAK english to them.

WHAT should we talk about? lol

This is probably the most stupidest question, but I just feel bad because I talk to my dad's side of the family all the time, and I'm tired of avoiding my mom's side of the family. I mean.. I'm 15!!

=/

thanks if you answer............ =)

I have always worn pantyhose with my skirt suits for work each day at the office. Needless to say, with me dressing that way, my hubby developed a pretty intense curiousity about it. As I was getting ready for work one day, I asked him what the fascination was and he told me that he found it alluring and sensual when I wear pantyhose and that he was curious to experience that feeling. So I hiked up my skirt, eased out of my sheers, handed them to him, and told him to slip them on. I let him keep them on for a few minutes and he went absolutely crazy over the way they felt, which I thought was kind of neat.

Now hes asked a few more times recently for me to let him wear them again. I don't want to deny it to him because of how fascinated he is and how much he liked it that one time. I'm thinking if I can limit it to a few minutes around the time we go to bed, we could have fun with it. How should I handle this?

E.g A stranger comes by and tells you in a very fierce and rude way to off your car engine because it is bothering him and his family having dinner directly behind the car (Less than 1m away). What would you do? I was already gonna move off soon, just started in engine in less than 1 minute and he walked over. By the way, that was a parking lot.

So say you live with a roomate and he brings a friend over to hang out that he met on myspace. as far as you know he is just coming over to chill and go home, next thing you know he is staying the night. Ok I can deal with that. the next morning you find out oh by the way he's going to chill at the house all day by himself while both of the rent payers are at work. So you get home from work only to find out that he's staying the night again, and maybe leaving the next day. All this would normally be fine execpt for the fact the one roomate doesn't think it is at all nessasary to consult the other on any of it, or even bother to give a heads up on whats going on with this stranger thats been living with us for 2 days now. Is it a little messed up or am i crazy I mean if you want to do what ever you want and not consult anyone get your own apartment right? tell me what you think. thanks!

The majority of you humans make me sick to my stomach. When your fellow man is faced with a world of serious problems and seeking the collective knowledge of others. There will naturally be a handful of screwheads displaying souless care in response. These ignorant people fail to see the "real" world around them and continue to live in the fantasy built around their frilly little lives.

So why (and i guarantee it will be you the fool who answers this) when a fellow man seeks the aid of nothing more than your collective knowledge do you fail to contribute anything worth while? How is it you can be so insensitive to problems that coud otherwise one day fall upon yourselves (yes it can happen to you).

When you find yourself in a situation all alone, and seeking the aid of others only to be granted nothing more than their foolish mockery. Only then will you realize the importance of these words.

I approached this one girl yesterday and I wanted to see if she was interested in going out. But I was really nervous and when I was halfway into a conversation with her, I let out a huge fart. It smelled bad too.

...except that the expression on her face made me burst out in laughter. She looked at me in disgust in left. I didn't mean for it to be funny or to laugh, but I still want to go out with her. What do I do? Should I just ignore her now?

Was I actually the rude one? I tried not to laugh, but if you had just seen the expression on her face, you would've laughed to.

I can’t stand it when people insist on checking the balance on each of their 5 accounts at the cash point, study the info slip, and then put their cards back in to take a tenner from each.

I've always ate spaghetti with my fingers. I like to do it if the spaghetti has extra tomato sauce too. I was in a restaurant yesterday and I was eating some spaghetti with cheese and tomato sauce with my fingers, like I always do. I guess some people complained and the waiter asked me to use a fork. I refused to and they refused service to me.

Was this rude? People don't have to look if I was eating spaghetti with my fingers.
