2008-06-06 06:00:00 Are you tired of rude restroom occupants? If so, it may be time to print out this list and leave it on the men’s or women’s restroom doors: Do What You Need To Do And Leave - Restrooms aren’t for lingering or catching up on the latest gossip. Respect others’ needs to use the toilets and sinks. Once you’re done with what you have to do, leave. Be Respectful Of Others’ Number Twos - If you’re touching up on your lipstick or combing your hair and notice someone’s behind a locked stall and not making a sound for a few minutes, respect the person by leaving and coming back later. You may feel comfortable with bodily functions around others, but many do not. Keep Your Eyes On The Wall Or Yourself - This is essential, especially in the men’s restroom. Don’t make others uncomfortable. If You Sprinkle While You Tinkle, Please Be Neat And Wipe The Seat - Whether precariously squatting over the seat or standing up, try not to pee on ...

Pilates Session Etiquette
2008-05-24 20:56:00 As a studio owner in the busy wealthy suburbs of Philadelphia, I learned quickly that people have no limitations in terms of cell phone usage. People would be on the phone in the hall, on the reformer, in class. They needed it in case of emergency nanny, school, or office calls (but seemed to answer the phones at all times anyway). Now Stephanie Pierson and Barbara Harrison of The Huffingtom Post have assured me that some etiquette rules must apply in the Pilates studio."Consider your priorities. 'Definitely not during Pilates class. If it's your own private training session, it's your dollar and your time. But it sends a strong message to your trainer as to your priorities,' says Melanie Melillo, Fitness Director at Women For Fitness."Don't be rude to your Pilates teacher.

the economist on san francisco business etiquette
2008-05-19 06:35:00 It's great to see The Economist try its hand at giving advice for businessmen traveling to San Francisco. It reads a little like a field manual for a new potentially hostile territory.Here's what they say about meeting etiquette."Meetings and greetings• It is important to both start and end appointments on time. If you’re driving between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, add 20% to your travel time and always take highway 280 over highway 101 if you can—it is usually faster and always prettier. When possible, schedule your meetings between 10am and 3pm to avoid rush hours.• Don’t be offended if people neglect to shake your hand or take your business card in large business meetings. Americans (and Californians) are more informal than you may be used to. • Having said that, carry as many business cards as possible, after making room for all the newest high-tech gadgets.• Be generous with your contacts.

Let's Talk About Blogger Etiquette
2008-05-07 22:40:00 Ok, I'm writing this post because recently I've received a couple of comments from the same person with an embedded link in the comment itself. I'm a firm believer in publishing all comments I receive even if it's a disagreement with my personal view. Of course, unless it was particularly venomous. I can thankfully say that I've never received a comment I didn't deem worthy of publishing, however, I find it rude to find an embedded link in the comment to direct people to their post. I appreciate drumming up visitors and such as it takes a long time and dedication to establish yourself out here and most of us post regularly and work hard to bring fun and interesting reading to our fellow bloggers, not to mention just to document our lives.

Korean Movie - Two Guys (2004)
2008-04-13 21:54:00 I think Korean Movies and Dramas are among the best, if not THE best, in the world. Their comedies are very light, appropriate, and not offensive to any group. Two Guys (2004) is a typical depiction of this style. They make a mafia-style crime thriller into a hilarious comedy chase. Korean are quite famous for this capability. Many of their dramas are corporate style, but somehow they're able to inject doses of wicked humors into the simple but meaningful plot. Much like Ally McBeal, which I liked a lot. That's why I find Korean Comedies the best in the world. Synopsis: Hoon (Cha Tae-hyun) is good at driving, seducing women, and getting credit card loans. He is always pressed to pay back his debts, but he's never bothered. One day, Joong Tae (Park Joong Hoon), a debt collector, came to him telling him that if he doesn't pay the debt, he will take Hoon's kidney instead. Once, Hoon and Tae takes a drunken foreigner to the hotel. Meanwhile, Hoon and Tae witnesses the foreigne...

Elevator Etiquette
2008-03-06 16:51:00 I automatically dislike anyone who gets into an elevator with me, especially in the morning when I first arrive at work. This is mostly an irrational reaction, but odds are those who join me in the elevator will disembark on floors lower than mine. I'm now located on the 30th of 34 floors and apparently anyone who works on the floors above me always arrives either before or after I do in the morning.And for some reason, inevitably no two people who get on the elevator with me in the morning will work on the same floor. So every new person who manages to catch the departing elevator by inserting and sacrificing a body part between the closing doors, will not only delay departure even more by stopping everything, but will continue to delay things by punching yet another floor below mine. I used to be on the 20th floor, which was the first floor available on the express elevator. Then, I didn't give a shit who got on the elevator with me because I got off first no matter what.
