We had our office party last week. We exchanged white elephant gifts. I ended up getting my boss's mother-in-laws ashes. I have no idea why he gave away her remains like that. I know that he just recently went through a nasty divorce with his wife.

I don't know what to do with this urn thing?!?!?! I'm scared to throw it out in case my boss asks about it later in the future.

Please help!

Dont you find it annoying when guys wear their trousers so low you can see their underwear? It's not attractive at all. Am I the only sane person who thinks this?

I am not referring to professional relationships. Indeed, to take one example, barristers are required to address one another by surname only. I accept too that when a person has died and passed into history courtesy titles are superfluous, and it is normal to refer to him as "Mozart", "Napoleon" or "Shakespeare". I am referring to the habit which has insidiously crept into journalism over recent years of referring to all and sundry by surname only without any form of courtesy title. It sounds so discourteous, especially when a callow young newscaster is referring in this dismissive way to a distinguished older person, perhaps a noted academic, or a public figure such as a president.

Not sure if this is proper etiquette or not. I am not a regular Starbucks drinker, but I did receive a gift card for Christmas. I was hoping to treat myself this morning but my son fell asleep in the car. I didn't want to carry him in (he's almost 3) so I skipped my Starbucks treat.

In hindsight, I figured everyone else pays via credit or gift card in the drive-throughs. I'm not big on fast food either, so when I plan to use a drive through, I make sure to have cash.

Opinions or comments? Is it acceptable to use a gift card in the drive through?

He's a raging alcoholic and lives in a tent in my scary neighbor's back yard. He shoveled my walk this morning (it's been snowing a lot here lately) and I'm wondering how to thank him without encouraging him to do anything else for me. I live alone and he already gives me too much attention as it is. I'd prefer to ignore it but feel this is rude and he's still a human being. I am unemployed and can't really pay him, and wouldn't want to anyway since he'd buy more alcohol with it. Not sure what to do here.

I just thought it was easier than sending two cards to everyone. We live together and it just made more sense that way. His (and my) family seem to be reading more into it than there is. He took some convincing before he let me do it too. Do I just not get this hidden meaning behind it?

My daughter had a birthday, and we bought her this cute little dress($20 dollars) there were 4 styles. One of the grandmas asked what she wanted for her birthday, and i told her she wanted the other dresses, she said okay that they were in the price range that she spents on the kids, and when could we go with her to get it. So when went to the store and the grandma said that she wasn't going to buy that because it was " to dressy" . Do you think that it was rude of her to say she would buy it and then change her mind?

I don't know what the correct ettiquette is. I don't want to appear uncaring, but I don't know anything surrounding the circumstances other than that, and I don't want to reopen old wounds with the family either.

All she does is gossip, and she is super annoying. She will ask me every day to go, so it's not like I can make up one excuse, like a dental appointment bc when I do that, she asks me to go later on in the week, and I'm running out of excuses! oh, and she doesnt have much authority, there is no reason to get on her good side. she cannot fire me.

I love to get the reactions and most times really good answers. Some of the questions happened to friends or relatives,I know MY opinion but I also want to hear how others feel.

if you see two co-workers (male and female) come out of a closet together. Should you rush up to her and say you know what happened between them in the closet or just leave it alone?

btw, they were making out at work

I'd sincerely like to treat him to lunch for his birthday but I'm afraid it will be interpreted by either him or my co-workers as brown-nosing. What should I do?

On a television promotion for a new show on the SPIKE network the announcer uses the term "white trash". Isn't this a racial slur? Why is okay to use racial slurs that refer to white people? Is pay back for past transgressions?

I used to get my haircut at a certain place for a few years from a hairdresser who went to beauty school with my mother. He always did a great job on my hair and I eventually got to know him and sometimes even asked him for advice.

But this past year, the place has gone down as the employees at that salon were fighting and arguing in front of customers and the service from the shampoo women and cashiers became horrible. So I stopped going there and began getting my haircut at another place from then on these past few months.

My friend and I, just a week ago, went to the mall where the salon is, and we stopped by to say hi to the hairdresser and he became extremely rude towards me and was completely sarcastic and nasty. I don't know if its just the fact I changed places because I grew tired of the service, but also could be from personal problems. Regardless, I told my friend I wouldn't go back there or speak to the stylist again.

Was I right?
