Etiquette - September 2007

This may be a bit gross, but I have to ask it anyway. Why do women feel the need to spray perfume when they are in the bathroom doing their business? It doesn't make the first smell go away, it just makes it worse. It gags me more than if they hadn't sprayed. They have to know that it doesn't cover it up at all. Please tell me why this happens.

and they express their opinion to you in a sincere and helpful manner, giving that answer the thumbs down is a disrespectful way of indicating disagreement. How do you justify doing that? You asked me for my interpretation of your dream, I gave it, and you gave me the thumbs down. Now jam it up your bum.

If one don't reply when being insulted randomly or for no reason, or whatever reason, does it mean one is acknowledging and accepting what the insulter says?
What are your thoughts about that? What do you think?

We've recently moved to a new, much smaller city so that my husband can complete his Bachelor's Degree. The city's population is predominantly Caucasian & Christian. We are African Americans of the Islamic faith.
My daughter is a very social girl (pre-teen). She's made many friends in our neighborhood, but not at school (she's in middle school & the children in our neighborhood are either in elementary or in high school--so none of her schoolmates are neighbors of ours).
Being a small town, everyone seems to know everyone and cliques have long been formed. My daughter is being left out. She tries & tries, with no avail, to make friends. She's never had this problem before. She's a SWEETHEART & everyone always LOVES HER!! Honestly, she's TOO nice--the people pleaser type.
The only time they let her with them is when they wish to be cruel. They make her the butt of every joke & they cheat to make her lose & they mock her & completely ignore her when she speaks to them! How can I help

She ends up quitting & "takes a walk" so they won't see her cry. Now they won't let her play at all. This has happened a few times already & it's just the 5th day of school! She cries every day as she walks alone (she doesn't let them see her cry). And she fights back tears on the bus & during breakfast because no one will sit with her. Please, any advice would be wonderful. How can I help her?

Also, she gets dirty looks & stares al the time. She really wants to be accepted. She's always been that way. I wish it wasn't so. If it were me, I'd ignore 'em and go about my business. But then again, I'm the rare type who can easily enjoy her own company if it were to come down to that.

Surely now that I am forbidden from smoking my pipe anywhere other the cupboard under the stairs, a new drive should be organised against fatties. Everywhere I go, I see great balls of lard stuffing themselves full of chips and MacShite Burgers, even giving them to their children. If I give my daughter a glass of wine or a tab, I am breaking the law (UK). But if I fed her beefburger and chips every day, thats OK. I find this completely gross! Obviously I am going to do none of these things as far as my daughter is concerned, but I strongly resent having to go outside to smoke so that some lardball can wolf down a plate of chips in peace. If the government is serious abut health, it really needs to crack down on lard. Tubbies must be punished financially, in the same way that smokers and drinkers are!

I am sick and tired of my in laws. We used to live far away from them and they still got on my last nerve. But now they are 4 hours away and I have managed to avoid them for a while. However, I cant do this forever. I am always polite to them and bend over backwards to make them comfortable, But I refuse to go to thier house anymore because my hubby wants too stay too long and I feel like I am in prison when I am there. They constantly ask him when I am coming since I have not been 4 a while. So I told him to invite them here instead. I usually run myself ragged taking care of them, but not anymore. I really want to distance myself from them when they are here. How can I pull this off with out letting them pull me into thier meddlesome/gossiping with out being too rude? To give you an example of the kind of things they say. "I think it is disrespectful to my husband to have friends." This was said by my mother in law when I told her I was going to visit a freind .

I have never been to Texas. I saw her for the first time in over fourteen years at my dad's funeral--which was three years ago. I have never stayed at anyone's home like that since I was younger. My mother in law will be going with me. Any suggestions?

Relatives are always giveing my kids things I don't let them have, or things that are not age appropriate. I also get gifts that I do not use. These gifts are not cheap, and I'd rather no get anything then another gift that I end up giveing away. I had the idea of a family gift, or atleast something for the kids play room. Would it be wrong of be to ask, so as to not get a reapeat of past years? These are not relatives, we see often, so I was thinking of saying " I know it's hard for you to pick out gifts from so far away, and I found something that the kids,( or the family) would really enjoy." or " I found a store that has some really nice things, I would love it if you could pick out something for the kids, ( or something the whole family can enjoy together)

I was with a guy at a public place and noticed him looking around quite often. He termed it 'people watching' and looked like it was an ingrained habit.

What is the reason for 'people watching'? Also, it's one thing to people watch if you are alone, but isn't it unusual to do so if you have company, especially if they don't share the interest? Is watching from a distance more appropriate than watching someone who can notice that they are being watched, possibly making them uncomfortable? Can it be used as an excuse to check out people from the opposite sex?

Would like some opinions on this activity from watchers as well as non-watchers. Thank you for your responses.

I have a colleague who has a bad BO (body odour) problem, but for some reason he does not seem to notice this. Some of my other colleagues laugh about him behind his back, but someone needs to tell him tactfully. How should I approach this? I work with him everyday so I dont want to cause unnecessary offence or a bad atmosphere.

I'm a pretty shy, quiet and very soft-spoken person so I'll only open up to a select few people. The girls I'm comfortable around were talking to me about why my ex-boyfriend broke up with me. Before I told them, I glanced around and behind me to make sure no one else was around and said, "Honestly...it was the sex issue" however, I said "sex issue" REALLY quietly. After I said that, a few of the girls giggled for a second. They totally were on my side and supported me. But why do you think they giggled?

How do you get up in the morning without going back to bed or pressing the snooze button 15 times before actually getting up? How can you just get out of bed the first time you wake up?
