Etiquette - November 2007

i tend to dissagree....for example, visit your local park, take plastic carrier bag, place in pond, wait 5 minutes...bag should now be full of crabs and frogs.
take said bag and contents home, cook , then eat.......tadaaaaaaaa..... one free meal,,,

The same logic can also be applied to ...Pigeons in a plaza ,Squrrels up a drain pipe, if your australian....kangarooos......but for these animals you must have a spring in your step in order to catch them.... What other meals can you get for free?> I urge u to thinbk long and hard b4 answering this question....put your feet up , have a think ..Sarcastic comments are not welcome on this post....
No points to the best answer......:-)

I have this woman calling every day demanding to speak to the owner of the company. When I ask what it is regarding, she gives me the company name (which I have never heard of). Then I ask what it is regarding, she asks me if I am the owner or co owner. She has not gotten through to the "owner" any day this month, why does she continue to call me and be rude to me? Does she actually think being rude will get her a sale? There are just some days I hate my job.

I will try to be fair and tell the story from both standpoints. Firstly, my boyfriend and I have completely different taste in music. I listen to rock, he listens to hip hop, rap, funk (which I do like), and techno. I was listening to the Smashing Pumpkins loudly waiting for him to come home. He walks in talking to his friend on the phone, and makes a face like " Whoa", and then says the equivalent (he speaks a different language) to "dude, listen to this music"...and then holds up the phone for him to hear it, and then they laugh. I get pissed for two reasons: If I ever have anything to say about his music choice or the volume I can expect a snappy remark from him so usually I try to keep my opinion to myself for his happiness, and I felt like if he wants to make fun of the things I like to his friend then it feels the same as if he is making fun of me. I stormed in the other room and shut the music off. He says "what the hell is your problem"?
Do I have a right to be upset?

Hi guys, I wanted to get some peoples' opinion on my situation.

My roommate is a huuuuge jerk. She is loud, talks about me to the other roommates in the living room so I can hear, craves attention, talks about how she kicked down her old roomates' door because she didn't like her and stole her stuff, has ridiculous fights with her boyfriend, slams doors when she knows I'm sleeping, and is generally disrespectful. I have always treated her and the other girls with total respect (cleaning the apartment weekly, taking out trash, doing dishes) and am barely in the apartment, so its not like I have DONE anything to her. I can't get any of my work done (I'm a double major) and so I am subletting my room to someone else because I can't stand her anymore.

My questions: when should I tell the other roommates that I am moving out? How should I treat the jerk roommate from now on, now that I AM leaving? So many of the things I did around the apartment I did out of respect to her.

How can responsible commenting be taught? There seems to be a lack of respect. I am not whining. This a problem for hundreds of thousands of local people. It is exacerbated by the locals talking about this without thinking I could ever understand their language or pick up nuance. It is accepted is to allow it to continue it is all over the media. I know the overweight are severely looked down upon and disrciminated in this country. My doing something about it is like a runaway train. People are even touching me. They are ignorant and comment on my size without abandon or care.

So I kind of have a crush. But I haven't actually spoke to the person yet. She's in my class and the other day I looked at the names ahead of mine on the attendance sheet to learn her name. I then checked out her facebook profile. My main intention was to confirm her queerness, which I did.

even though both fat and thin people get treated unfairly. i always thought many skinny people would be physically abused more than fat people because they would look weak and that fat people are mostly teased and called names. just asking for opinions though.

I answered it, but my coworker teased me later about not knowing cell phone etiquette. I noticed others in the restaurant using their cell phones. Was I in error? Please tell me the basics of cell phone use.

Do you even think about it when you do it?

Does it matter to you if there's litter on the ground?

Why don't you care about other people?

As for it being biodegradable, well, ultimately everything is. But until it biodegrades, it's a piece of litter lying there.

If you have spent the night at someone's home and you have to leave in the morning, but they have not yet woken up by the time you have to leave, what is the proper etiquette for handling this?

Assume it is someone whom it would be awkward to awaken with a knock on the door. They also knew you had to leave in the morning; you aren't just running out.

But what do I say, or what to ppl expect me to say when they say things like 'im sorry for your loss' or 'sorry about your friend' or 'how are you?'....you know? do i say 'thanks, but no thanks i feel like i wanna curl up in the corner and die' or something like that. How do you handle that type of situation gracefully?

I may be overreacting. But, I was talking to my sister about what to buy my niece and nephew for Christmas. She told me not to buy a lot of toys with small parts because they break them, lose them in a few days, or the dog chews them up. Well, I responded: "Well, why don't they learn to take better care of their stuff." (I mean, it is difficult to find toys without small parts). She said that's is how kids are and that she just got rid of a bunch of toys in which they lost a lot of parts to. Obviously, I do not have any children of my own, but is this acceptable behavior? I know kids will be kids and the toys won't last forever. But that stuff costs money. Every year, I spend more than I should on those kids. I do it because I want to and I love them, but I was a bit hurt and angry because it seems like they are unappreciative...mainly my sister and her husband. I can't blame the kids so much because parents should be teaching them to respect property. Am I wrong for thinking this?
