Etiquette - September 2007

Isn't is enough to say I am going to the bathroom, I'll be right back. No one is interested in which bodily function will take place in there.

It seems like everyday I do something that I know is wrong and I think about it and feel guilty. Why do I have such a strong conscious? How can I forgive myself and forget about these things. I feel like a bad person.

What to do when somebody unknown to you shouts at you in public? There are such rude people who shout when something could be said in a gentle manner. What would your reaction be and how do you handle such people?

does that mean he's saying your "pie" is sweet.
Serious answers only. I'd like to know if this is actually an insult or maybe sexual harassment.

I ran into this old lady at the grocery store with my shopping cart today because her and this other old lady were blocking the aisle. They both saw me yet refused to move so I casually bumper her heel with the cart and said I'm sorry.

A few weeks ago, I asked a boy out through the telephone, and he said he's dating someone. I know he doesn't officially have a gf yet, and he was hesitant to tell me that he's going out with someone..

Ive been noticing that he checks my facebook a lot..My friends tell me..is this a sign he's interested in me?

Should I ask him out again? or is it his turn to say something?

I find my french teacher making occasional mistakes on the blackboard, and when i tell her she seems irritated, but then she corrects it.

I also do this in science and math, when the teacher makes a mistake on an equation.

Do you think it's rude to correct teachers?

I am in 10th grade.

Or would that seem like a weird bribing kind of a thing? (I'm not thinking of a super expensive present... or is the quality work that I did for him enough for me to feel like I 'deserve' a better job with getting him a present just being overkill?)

I have a female staff who is having a relationship with a male staff in my office. She is also having affairs with two more guys within the company without my male staff knowing it. The problem is she is creating intrigues among the staff in my office making them uncomfortable with one another. My staff are doing great in their job but the interpersonal relationship is being sacrificed. When we discovered this, she went on sick leave for two weeks. After 2 weeks she is still requesting for another week of sick leave with a medical certificate from her aunt doctor. this is personal in nature, do i have to step in even this is not official in nature?

I say all kinds of things that are offensive when I'm around friends. I'll do almost anything to get a laugh. The thing is afterwards I wonder what people really think of me and that I'm not a nice person. I feel bad about it. I'm so spontaneous and I say things I dont mean and a lot of sarcastic things that can be taken the wrong way. I worry I'm not a good person.

No one else seems to care except her brother who lives two hours away. My mom won't talk to her or me for that matter and her other brother has no contact with her because of her condition. She has schizophrenia. My husband takes her meals every night and goes to the store for her a lot. I know that is nice but she is able to heat meals in the microwave for herself. He still feels obligated to buy and cook her food. Are we being nice or just stupid and getting taken advantage of by other family members. Hell his parents make sure that she gets her meds. This is so weird.

I was standing in line at the gas station and when it came my turn at the front, this girl walks in who was obviously friends with the cashier because she stopped at the counter to talk to her. The cashier went ahead and waited on her friend, and the friend took forever getting cigarettes, lottery tickets, paying for her gas. It was my turn, there wasn't anyone behind me, she should have waited on me, not her friend who came in. I just stood there and didn't say anything, but it did kind of tick me off.

I have this online friend (of one year) and his new girlfriend is jealous. Hell he lives in another country and she lives on the other side of the US and they have never met. He told me he would never give her my number. It was bad enough that he gave her my email address and she sent me plenty of emails. Then she calls my house and tells my husband that she does not want me talking to my friend anymore. My husband thinks she is crazy. I confronted my friend and he was sorry and said that she just kept asking. BUT HIS main point was that I was mad. He kept saying why such anger??? and I just laughed and said he was an idiot to give out my number. I wrote a blog about it even and he got mad. Why is he so mad at me for being mad at HIM???????????

I'm sick of being American. What country should I move too?
Keep you negitive answers to yourself. If you think we are #1 then you have never been out of this country. I've lived overseas for most of my adult life. Where should I go and why? Don't worry I have cash and can pick up a language in a week. Oh and I'm 31, strait, tall, good looking blond and a jew.

I have a guy friend who is extremely cheap. Everytime he or we go out to eat, he always finds a way to never pay for the meal.

For example, he will say he needs to run to his car and we go with him. Then we just leave. We must have done this like 30 something times and he never seems to get caught.

Now I don't agree with it but I mean, I am noit going to walk in there or come back after we bailed. he walked out of Walmart last week with a TV.

I think he's a theif but he told me he's an opportunist. he feels he should never stealk from his friends but its ok from big corporate america. Is it right what he is doing? I think he needs to knock it off.
