Etiquette - October 2007

Are you a roller or a flicker?
Do you consume nasal matter or prefer to despose of it elsewhere? Where?
Or do you ALWAYS use a handkerchief?
Are you someone who NEVER blows their nose in public?
The more details the better.
Thankyou.

A toilet was made with a seat so it should therefore be always left down. It looks much better when you walk into a bathroom and see a seat down. Men should get their acts together and respect women in the bathrooms

Do you consider it rude to interupt somebody when they are speaking to another person?

I like to discuss things here, but there are alot of rude people who only attack my spelling and grammar. No, english is not my native language. People acting like this really pisses me off.

Do Americans really leave their shoes on when they go inside someone's house, or is that just on tv? (That seems awfully dirty.) I've heard some people say they have that as a rule in their homes, like it's not just an obvious thing to do.

I'd like to thank a woman because she helped to find a job. I'm a bit shy though to do it as I don't know her very good. Don't know if it is fine to buy some good chocolate or a wine ??? What would you do and how to present it ??? What to say?


thanks for your advice

Do you give them a gift to make them feel appreciated or would a sincere 'thank you from the bottom of my heart' be enough?

he comes to work everyday but our offices are far away. I wanna see him and say hi to him. So, I thought of calling him first when he comes to his office and then tell him I'd like to pass by his office before I go home, just to make sure he's ok.
Is it ok or would he get me wrong? I mean there's nothing there, we just used to work together and recently we both got busy with other stuff..so what do you think..is it ok?

I gave a relative $10 for her birthday because that is all I could afford. Should I just have not given her anything because $10 might be insulting?

should i
1.) try to sheepishly release it without much commotion
2.) excuse myself to the loo, at the expense of losing out on this interview (cos they might think i'm disinterested)
3.) try to create an adequately loud diversion like coughing out loud, or dragging the chair across the floor or pretending i choked...

what should i do?

My co-worker stole my prescription drugs(vicodin) out of my purse. When i noticed they were missing i watched the video and clearly saw her doing it. She apologized "sincerely", but the same night her and her friend were laughing and joking around like nothing happend. However, after her behavior, i made up my mind to press charges. I know if that was me taking something from somebody there they would not think twice and put me in jail in a heartbeat, not only fire me right away. After that happened everybody started acting like it was my fault all this happened. The girl was finally fired, arrested, spent some time in jail and was bonded out. Then she wrote me a letter, apologizing again even more sincerly and telling how horrible it was, and asking not to press charges because she is going to school for phlebology and such record will influence her whole future.
What do you believe should be done in this situation? Proceed with charges or drop them, if it possible?

right to say something, when I should of said, when you call a company and get the automated voice telling you press one for english, and 5 for billing, but no one actually ever comes on the phone, how long do you wait before deciding whoever answers that phone you should say something to them about it. The reason I am asking is because I had to call Comcast today and was on hold before ever speaking with ANYONE for an hour and a half. When I did voice my opinion about it, she said "I'm sorry you were on hold that long, how may I help you?"...I can laugh now, cause it's over...but I was very angry then!

I decided I will do this this year instead of the people I will usually send it to who have not sent me Christmas cards in the last couple of years. I feel I need to know they are still cared for. You think?

I know this sounds made up, I wish it was. This moring driving with my friend I had to pee extremely bad. We were near her apt. so I asked if she would stop so I could use her bathroom. She gave me the key & told me it was the door at the top of the stairs. I sprinted up the stairs as I was about to loose it.
Opened the door, took a step in & right there standing over her sink is her boyfriend, naked, masturbating! I froze. He turned towards me in shock, apprently he was at the point of no return He came hitting the sink, the wall and ME(on the arm and pants)! I was starting to pee myself and screamed at him to get out or I am going to piss all over. I already had my pants and panties down before he could even get out.
After I had to get pee & semen out of my pants. I came out he was gone. I went back outside & my friend wondered why my pants were all wet & why I looked all spooked. I couldnt bring myself to say anything.

Should I?
How would you have reacted?

Twice in the past couple of days God has lead me to help someone out financally. The first is a single mother of 6 kids. I gave her money for 2 new tires for her car. The next day they came over to play and brought an extra large pizza for their lunch while we ate spagettios. I don't know the last time we were able to afford a pizza like that. Then today I gave a college student who had no gas some gas money. She came back from the gas station with a drink in her hand. Should I be offended or glad to help out?

Like a person was being assaulted, would you stop to help, or keep going for fear of being assaulted yourself?

She always shows up, unannounced, either when my toddler is napping or just going down for his nap. Sometimes my house us a wreck! It's embarrassing. She always apologizes (but then ALWAYS does it)... saying "Sorry to just drop in on you, but I decided to swing into town last-minute today." I always am polite and tolerate it... but it's really starting to annoy me.

My husband doesn't want to offend her. Advice?

ok, my 4 year old, had head lice that she got from school. I treated, and she no longer has them. My older daughter had them, she watned her head shaved so she could go back to church. I do not go to church, BTW, and so when the bus comes to pick them up, they are forced to sit away from the other children. I am, by nature, an outspoken person, and I am not known to be tactful, Christian, or not when i speak to someone. This last Sunday, my 4 yr old's sunday school teacher placed a bright blue bandanna, way too large, on her head and made her wear it all through this carnival that was going on. The entire church had seen this. The pastor, an elderly man, did not put a stop to it, and when I had tried to call, I was disconnected several times. My daughter, is developmentally delayed, and does not realize what is going on. Her older sister does not want to disrespect her elders by telling them not to do these things, and risk getting in trouble. What can I do legally ? I am VERY angry.

a co-worker of mine does not do her share of work, when she comes in. she sits around, talks on the phone, and she brings her son to work, even though that's against policy. nothing has been said to her, because the supervisor is friends with her mother, who happens to work on another floor, but I feel, if that were me, or any other employee we would be reported to the manager, which is what I want to do.

You go to a doctor's office and are aware that someone with the same last name also goes to that doctor. You are aware because when you come in the wrong chart is sometimes pulled which was later solved by putting your date of birth on the chart. Well an appointment was made in the computer and you are called up and are positive it was the other woman who had made the appointment. You also know this other woman that you are postive made the appointment. Would you get really aggrevated and yell at the person who is calling you up and say you are always mistaking me for the other woman with the same name? What would you say to the secretary calling you?
