Etiquette - October 2007

A girl I worked with a couple of years ago was killed yesteday in a car accident. We weren't really close, but she was very nice to me and we got along and we were friends, but not close. Her funeral is coming up and I was wondering if it's appropriate for me to attend her funeral?

My school bus driver is flat out evil. She has said she was going to get a scitation on 3 occasions (never going through with it yet but still) and this last time, she moved me and my friends up to the front of the bus, we sat, chated, laughed, and she said that she was going to give us ALL scitations! WTF? Does anyone know how to get her canned or at least get another driver for our route?

I am almost ashamed to have ears when I go to school. There are always people cussing. I really feel uncomfortable when they do this, because I am afraid that someday someone will walk up to me and say something really mean. Do you do this?

Hehe, while I'm at it, I will ask this other question, optional to answer: When solving a math equation, do you have to multiply the variable by one, because when I don't do that, my teacher gets mad. Is it even necesary???

I went out to my wedding venue to take a look around.
while there i brought my friends with me
anyways while talking with the food people. about drinks and food , I explained that I wanted a toast , and was gonna offer wine then the rest would be cash bar.
as well we are ordering Hor durves to be hand passed by suited up waiters ( cocktail reception ) ( i am renting an entire plantation /musume house from the 1700's ) hello expensive.

When we got back in the car on the way home I was explaining what they had on the menue, I forget what hor durve it was but that isn't the point my friend said I should order something else because she didn't like it ... well I told her then I guess you won't eat them will you. then we started talking about the wine and I said i would pay for wine while the party was going but anything after that including beer would be on the people .and she was like " i guess i will only be drinking wine ... Hmmm " I find this rude

at a dept, store for a $100 would you keep it, leave it, return it back to the register or what. If you kept it, is it o.k., because you found it, right?

If you returned it back the company would be getting another $100 to themselves making the purchase $200. So think about it.

a guy really likes me and he talks to me a lot but doesnt hug/kiss me or anything. He likes talking to me everyday. He tells me personal stuff he doesnt tell others.

But he is very flirty and confident around other girls.

He told me himself that he is VERY shy.

Please shed some light on this. Im confused.

We are both 24.

My coworker and I share a common wall between our private offices. She conducts every single call on speaker phone. The wall is not sound-proof and is only a means of providing privacy between our offices. I think she believes that if she closes her office door then no one can hear her. She has been doing this more and more lately. This week is especially bad. Now she's even conducting personal calls on speaker phone. She has an expensive wireless headset that she doesn't use either. I would like to ask her to stop using speaker phone, but she's not the nicest person. In fact, she's rather mean spirited.

So, should I ask her?

I was sitting and minding my business in rest room and suddenly i heard voices of jerking and moaning.
To my shock someone was giving himself a treat.I also saw the guy afterwards and asked him to not to do so in a offical environment.
He said he has right to do whatever he does in privacy.

Should i report him or he does have right to mastrubate in office rest room?

I am hosting a bridal shower at my house at the begining of December (still have a while) but I live on a cul-de-sac where the curb in front of my house is pretty narrow. I know we will have quite a few cars and my driveway is not very long, so I know that it is probable that people will park infront of other houses.

I wanted to mention to my neighbors (atleast next door) that I would be hosting this bridal shower and ask if it is ok for people to park infront of there house. And mention that is it a short party (2 hours or so). Of corse if they say "no," I will make sure no one parks there and if they do, tell them to feel free to come over and tell me and I would take care of it.

Do you think that is a good idea? Or a waste of time. I know I would appreciate it. Should I bake something small (cookies) and bring over also to be polite? Thanks!

I am not talking about children, I do think this is inappropriate.

I am an aspiring photographer and enjoy taking pictures of people (kinda like people watching) as they are naturally. Is this considered rude? I feel if it is a performer or something like that then they should expect their photo taken. But what about regular people? I find if I did ask, they would make some awkward pose and it would ruin the shot. I am not a creep or anything like that, sometimes you just see someone interesting and want to take a picture for art's sake alone.

Of course I know I would need a release form for anything I publish, but if this is for my own home, is this okay?

What about taking pictures of displays in a store, would the store owners get mad?

Thank you

This guy at my office brings his wife to work with him 3 days a week. She's got some disease that makes her like a 3 year old. She sits in his office and colors in coloring books and stuff. Anyway, the problem is she messes the bathroom up something horrid. She goes all the time (guess it's her medicine?) and leaves crap on the toilet seat and in the floor. We talked to our boss once and he said he would deal with it but then we asked him not because we don't want to hurt this guy's feelings. She has threatened suicide when left at a caregiver's while he works so he has to bring her. It's so disgusting and this is the only bathroom we have. What would you do?

I love America's next top model, but they make it seem like modelling is like performing a heart transplant or something. I understand it's hard work and there is more to it than being pretty, but REALLY it's about looking good, knowing how to pose, knowing how to walk and well, that's about it. I've done a few photoshoots myself, though nothing near that extreme, so I know it's tiring, but it's not like yiou have to go to school, get educated, and solve difficult problems every day, like a doctor or lawyer does. Have you modelled? Is it really that tough or is Tyra Banks dramatic?

You have the opportunity to make a good amount of money for doing nothing more than placing an order, filling a glass, serving and clearing food. If you do this, you can expect to be paid anywhere from $10-50 from me based on the check. That's for less than an hour's worth of service. I think that's fair. I was a former waitress and now an attorney. It used to baffle me how so many servers used to complain about their job when all they had to do was be friendly and pay attention to their customers. Seriously, why do you think what you do is so hard? There is no science or math to this. There is no heavy lifting. Most customers who are angry are not angry with you. If you simply apologized and blamed the kitchen, the customer would calm down. Instead, most waiters get defensive and make the customers more angry. All jobs require thick skin. I have people yelling at me all the time. It comes with the territory. Grow up kids

i work at a restaurant and notice that a good percent of the time customers fail to tip me 15% or more. I know i am an excellent waitress for the most part ( i do make mistakes so i understand getting undertipped in those situations) but i'm just curious, are people unfamiliar with the 15% rule, or are they simply greedy and don't think tipping is necessarry? and are you aware that mast servers make between 2-5 dollars an hour depending on the minimum wage where they live, so we really need those tips to pay our bills just like everyone else. one more question. What could your server do that would guarantee them a very generous tip (i'm talkin 20% or more) besides giving away free food, because risking my job wouldnt be worth the nice tip.

I think it's horribly rude when people put on their wedding invitations where they are registered. It's like saying "hey, come to our wedding. But you better bring us gifts!" or even "we dont' think your capable of getting us something decent, so here's what you need to get us!"

I didn't register anywhere and I didn't expect gifts for my wedding. I figured, worst scenario, people would just give us gift cards or money. (which isn't so bad!)

Am I the only one?!

Other times, I just cut my food with a fork, if I can.
