Etiquette - October 2007

Lately, I've been kind of down and dealing with a lot of hard issues. I know this is not a good thing, but I have a tendency to cut myself off from people when I am feeling sad. Not completely like to where I won't even speak to you, but I'm probably not going to sit there and hold a conversation with you and act all bubbly and happy. Soo...in gym class, we have free days almost everyday of the week. Typically, I sit down and do homework or read. It's not like I'm sitting there staring at the ground all depressed--I'm actually doing something. Plus, not to be rude, but a lot of the girls in my gym class are wh0res.But my two gym coaches called me up the other day and asked, "Do you have brothers and sisters?" I was like, "Yeah....". And then one was like, "Well, you're a loner. That's probably why you have no friends." I was MAD! He has no right say that, does he? Is he right? Am I doing myself harm by isolating myself? Should he have said that to me?

I don't mean to sound immature, but I'm 24 & my friend's sister is 17. She terrorizes everyone, & everybody is scared of her. She has severe ADHD, & she's a bully. She does things so fast she can do 20 things in 1 minute, & she's hyper, unstoppable, & unpredictable. She came to my house the other day-UNinvited & went straight to the freezer & took one of my frozen pizzas without my permission. She microwaved it & when she was eating it, she started smacking in my ear on purpose just to agitate me & see me lose my temper so she can laugh. She knows my ears are sensitive & that I have Tourette's. So when she did that, my gut instinct was to slap the pizza out her hand. & when it fell on the floor, she wanted to fight me. I was scared.

A friend of mine gave me a yard card for Christmas and I took it knowing full well that I wouldnt put it out. Gave it to my son. He in turn gave it away.. Told my friend that I gave it to him .. now she is pissed cause I took it after I told her that. Knowing me I told her that I dont put out stuff like that at Christmas time. Well she kinda puffed up at that remark and wondered why I took it to start with. Well stupid me took it as a present. ONe that I wasnt planning on using to start with. NOW what do I do..? Go out and replace that one and send it back to her? I am in a fix. So So stupid for me telling her to start with.. BUT? I did it. I could kick myself for that but? No need in crying over spilled milk.. Let me know how you feel. Plum sick at my stomach over this.

I am 14 years old, and I like with my mom, dad, and brother. Well, my mom sometimes let's me skinny dip in our pool. She normally won't look though. Well, I was wondering, do you think I should walk to and from the bathroom in the nude when I am going to take a shower? Like, it would just be easier to take my clothing off, go to the bathroom and take a shower, dry off, go out of the bathroom nude, and just get dressed. That way I don't have to get new clothes, and I can just... well yeah.

P.S. The layout of the house is my room is in the back of the house, then you would have to walk through the hallway, into the family room where my mom is, then go to the bathroom. So yeah, the bathroom is right next to the family room.

My boyfriend says "turn the air conditioner down" when he wants the temperature decreased, but I say "turn the air conditioner up" when I want the temperature lowered. What do you think is the correct term?

I tell them not to bother me again, but of course they do. Has anyone got a final solution to eliminate these pests from my life? Thanks.

I hate it when someone keeps shaking their popcorn bag, talking loud on the cellphone, kicking my seat, putting their feet up between the seats, etc.

Why do some people have to be so rude when answering your questions on Y!A?

I've been a member here for about 14 days, and in 2 weeks, I've had two people have a dig at my name?

What the hell is wrong with some people?

And, more importantly, what the hell is wrong with the name 'Ingrid'???

Hi There!
We are having a party this Saturday. And we will be having people coming in and out of the house. We also have a 9 1/2 month old that is crawling and picks up everything and puts it into his mouth. We have oak trees everywere and the acorns and leaves come in all the time. And we also have a driveway with little rocks that track in! Is there a nice way without offending anybody to have them take off their shoes when they come in???
Thanks for the help!
Jennifer

My bday is in a few weeks and I haven't had a party since I was 18 so I thought it would be fun to have one. The question is it okay to throw ones own bash? And how do you tell the people you invite that you'd rather not recieve gifts.

About 2 weeks ago, I sent the following email to a friend of mine (he lives about 3 hours away and I don't get to see him often):

Dear______, Long time no speak. Anyways, I just wanted to inform you that I'm actually going to be in the area in about two weeks (Oct 26-28) to visit my friend, _____. Whether or not you'll be able to or want to see me during that time is entirely up to you. I certainly wouldn't want to impose or anything; if it's going to be too much of a hassle, then don't worry about it. Anyways I got to run. Catch you later.

I'm leaving on friday and would like to know before hand if he'll be able to or even want to see me. He's busy at times and his girfriend (whom I never met before) recently moved in with him and I wouldn't want to disturb them. So my question is do I email him again reminding him that I'm going to be in the area or do I let it go and hope that he'll call me when I'm there? Do I call him once I'm there to say I'm there? What do I do?

If as a present I got you a facial at a health spa, would you think I was implying that you looked old or would you think it was a nice present?

is to have diverse opinion about many different subjects. Yet I have been faced with many asking people e-mailing me their disagreement with my answers and often calling me names, or telling me how idiot i am for saying such and such things.
If one is not open to other people opinion, and if one does not accept anybody's different views on issues tehn why even bother asking?
Does anybody has an answer to why are people so inclined to asking questions yet refuse to hear anybody who differ with their view?
thank you.

Maybe it's a generational thing. I'm only 25, but I'm also mature and somewhat successful, so I feel that I should be able to understand both sides... but I still just don't get it. People grouse and moan about how much it inconveniences them when someone else talks on their cell phone at Applebees, at the mall, or walking down the street. I don't get it.

How is talking on the phone at Applebees creating any more noise than talking to the person next to you? It's not hurting anyone. I could understand if it were MY friend that was talking on the phone WHILE he or she was hanging out with ME, but if if there is a stranger, why should I care whom he or she talks to and whether it's on the phone or in person?

You know what's ruder than talking on a cell phone in public? Daring to chastise a stranger about his or her manners! Chill out, people...

We live in base housing on an Air Force Base. We went to the Fall Festival held for base housing occupants only. One of the door prizes was a months free rent. When they drew the name, they announced that the woman that won had also won the YEAR'S free rent at the Christmas party the year before! So she won another month of free rent even though she's already receiving free rent through the end of this year (as has been all year). In my opinion, she should have not been eligible to win the prize again, ESPECIALLY while she's already receiving it! I called to ask about their rules on the matter and they were REALLY rude. They said "its discrimination to tell her she can't win it again and that's illegal." lol

Am I just being jealous or do I have something to be legitimately upset about? I know "its not fair" is so cliche', but it really isn't fair! lol

My habit that I consider bad is
folding my shirt and always walking around
with it on my shoulder place to place.
My other one would be biting my nails.

What's are your habits?

A cousin whom I have not seen, spoken to or heard from in over 8 years has decided to stay with my mother during the week-end of my birthday (this Sunday). My husband, my mother and I have plans to go out to Sunday lunch. Am I obligated to invite my cousin along? (I personally think my mother should not have accepted her as a house guest at this time, but that was her choice.)

of attention!

He declines the invitation for dinner and waits until the next night to get his free meal when his sibling is not there and does not have to compete for attention.

What do you make of this? He outright told his parents the reason he declined as well, even though it was his favorite meal!
