Etiquette - October 2007

I'm always accidentally drop food down my cleavage.
No matter where I am or who I'm with, I don't want to be rude and I don't want to look like a gross slob. Do I take a napkin and get it out? Or do I ask to be excused and take it out in the bathroom?

on the subway train, and then all of a sudden, they change seats far away from me, why would they do that, even on a crowded seat for no reason, if I didn't do or say anything to them

IS THERE A CURE!?! I am really sick of people who steal blankets. It really bothers me when I wake up cold and tired with no blanket to find the person next to me warm and snuggly in about four layers of comforter. THEN! When I try yo pull the blanket back I either get whapped at by a flailing hand or I get rolled onto by my neighbor! Really I am fed up with it. HELP! Is there something I can do? ADVICE IS NEEDED! No joke guys. What in the world am I supposed to do. I am just as tired as them, why can't I get the same amount of sleep. One thing I did notice is that the same people who "can't sleep without a second pillow" are the same ones who rol around at night and kick people. LOL!

FROM!

How do you keep love and joy in your heart when the customers are so rude to you that you want to cry and scream? It's getting so bad that I've begun to think about abandoning work until after college! Someone tell me how you remain calm and sympathetic and nice when you hate the way you are being treated!

I've heard that it's a good idea to bring your teacher stamped and addressed envelopes when they agree to write you a letter of recommendation for college, because it's more polite and convenient. After all, they are doing us a big favor. Well my teacher told me to bring her a list of my student activities and addresses of the universities... so, does this mean I don't need to bring her envelopes? Or should I still bring stamped envelopes and let her write in the address?

My friend recently went through a serious surgery, but she didn't allow me to visit her during her recovery. Now, she is fully recovered and is willing to see me in person. I would like to give her something, but I am not sure what is appropriate. Could you give me some ideas? Thank you!

When churches say offerings of $100 for baptism does that mean you have to offer $100? Or can you offer $20 if that's all you can afford or nothing even? My friend was asked to be godmother to her cousin and she already bought the entire outfit and accessories totally $215. Now the mom has mentioned she thinks to be proper that my friends husband (godfather) needs to pay for the church. Is that correct? And are the fees actually required or appreciated?

I made plans a few months ago to go on a trip with a woman who is now my ex (as of last week). Now that we are broken up I don't feel like we should go on it together, but it is too late to cancel it and get any money back. Is it wrong to not take her? Is it wrong to take another girl? We are still friends but I don't want to go with her because it might lead her on. At the same time I don't want to piss her off by taking another person (especially if its another girl). What should I do?

I'm 17 years old and live in a part of the country that is usually warm most of the year. As a result, I've always liked going barefoot whenever possible inside and outside. My question is, after school, if I go over to a friend's house to study, is it okay to take my tennis shoes and socks off? How can I do this, or ask her mother about this without seeming rude? It's funny, most people don't mind if you just kick your sandals or flats off, but if it's shoes AND socks, I've heard some people get offended. What can I do?

And

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

burps when he drinks beer !!! Its such a turn off...I have told him that before. He gets mad at me saying that he has to or else he feels sick. I tell him he can let the air out without making a loud burp. I have done this before myself when I drink carbonated drinks. He says its not the same. He says he has to do it loud and that its not healthy if he doesn't. We get into fights about this. I remind him that he never burped outloud when we were dating and maybe I wouldn't be married to him if he did burp out loud. I always critisized this action and I honestly feel grossed out. He gets frustrated because he says he sould be able to do this in his own house. He keeps saying that its not healy to keep the burp in. Is this true or am I asking for too much?

She brought this ham for the block party and then she was cutting pieces off and putting it on her children's plates and I just got so sad. I went home that night and cried b/c I know the Bible says not to eat pork and that pigs are unclean and I asked my husband why she did that and he said that some people don't know any better. Should I say something to her if this happens again?

I think there's some reason to the saying it's better to be feared than loved. Like last year I was real cold to everyone and I pushed down and sometimes beat up those who opposed me at school and it was going good except I wasn't making any new friends. this year I'm trying to be super nice to everyone and now they tease me and make fun of me a little sometimes. like I know some judo and aikido. Last year some guy was scared of me. Now I'm ncie to him and his friends. Last year people was all like wow man you can probably kick just about anybody's ***. Now they are like he's bigger and weighs more than you, you don't stand a chance. So do you really get more respect if you are feared rather than loved?
