Etiquette challenge: Worst gift ever?
2009-12-03 13:22:00 Yes, it's the thought that counts, but sometimes, those gifts demonstrate how little we're thought of. Did you knock yourself out for the boss and receive a pair of $1 Walgreen's stretchy gloves? Or giggle with your girlfriend about what great gifts you were getting, only to open the box and find a fruitcake? Tell me about the worst gift you ever received -- for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Birthday, Retirement -- or any reason. Post your frustrating tales in the comments, or email them to me at etiquetteb[at]gmail[dot]com.Is- it what you hoped for? Or is it crap?...
Hockey etiquette for the new Blackhawks fan
2009-11-14 16:13:00 Last night, as I watched the Hawks beat the Maple Leafs from Section 308, I realized that the United Center is quickly becoming the new Wrigley Field (minus all the losing). A Blackhawks game has become the place you bring you clients, your kids, or spend your 21st birthday "woo-ing" and asking everyone to buy you drinks. With this in mind, I'd like to lay out a little instruction manual for all you new fans. They are simple little rules that will make the game more enjoyable for you, and the people around you who are actually there for the game. ...
CTA rider: Lack of 'L' etiquette
2009-10-22 23:00:00 Marnie Ratner wrote to RedEye with a complaint about the lack of etiquette on the train. What are some etiquette dos and don'ts for the CTA?"What in today's modern world has altered etiquette on the 'L'? In our parent's generation, women were offered seats on the 'L' especially if wearing high heels and carrying packages. What has caused this to change? Men are rushing into the 'L' grabbing all of the seats and basically watching women be thrown around. During rush hour finding poll space to hold on to is not being offered either.At times, elderly and pregnant women have to stand, in fact, one time I got up for an elderly lady and not one guy around me offered...

Men's Bathroom Etiquette

Ho-Train said. ?No matter what, keep your eyes on the wall.?My friend, Ho-Train, was sharing his most important rule of the men?s bathroom in an article I wrote for my high school newspaper, The Yellow Jacket. Ho-Train?s quote was one of the few I used in my articles that I didn?t fabricate and randomly credit to classmates.More rules:No talking unless all the communicators are on the same plane: at the sink, urinal, or in the shitter. If you and your friend are peeing, and you finish before him, your conversation must pause until he rejoins you at the sink.Never touch handles with your palm.Take an end urinal if available. If possible, leave two unused urinals between you and the other dude, but no more than three or you risk looking like a pansy, with the exception of the end unit. If you have to saddle up next to another dude, keep your elbows tight. If you?re going to have to squeeze between two dudes, broach the urinal extremely slowly in the hope ...
How To Write The Wedding Etiquette Wording
2009-06-11 05:01:00 During the entire course of the wedding, there are several instances that require wedding etiquette wording. What is wedding etiquette wording? It is a collection for phrases or paragraphs meant for the couple?s union. The wedding etiquette wording follows certain rules to make it as effective and elegant as possible. Traditionally, the bride handles all the wedding details, including the wedding etiquette wording for the groom. But thankfully, now there are some things that can be handed over to other people like the wedding planner, a member of the family or even the clergy.The announcement:The engagement can be announced to both families in an intimate gathering. However, the law requires that the union be posted in an ad as public announcement of their nuptial. The wedding etiquette wording for this can be kept to a minimum. The details include, the name of the couple and their parents, the date and location of the wedding and the reception information. More elegant announcement...

Wedding Etiquette on Hotel Rooms
2009-02-21 05:48:00 A wedding with wedding destination theme has been gaining popularity these days. Couples are choosing a wedding venue far from home. Invited guests are mostly close friends and families who would take the trouble to do a long drive or fly to the wedding venue just to attend the wedding celebration.Wedding venues for wedding destination are usually being held on a beach, a botanical garden, or scenic spots. These places are offered to public for a fee to use the place for wedding ceremony or wedding reception. But most of these wedding destination venues do not offer a place where the bride, groom, the wedding party and wedding guests may stay before the wedding day.

What's the etiquette for this?
2009-02-20 00:42:00 This afternoon, I had to meet with a lawyer who wanted to prepare me for testifying in a case coming up in about two weeks. (It's very exciting; I never get called as a witness!).We were in my office, and he was all dressed in his litigating suit and asking me various questions and taking notes and showing me documents and otherwise doing all the things I usually do to other people (except he wasn't trying to intimidate me and he wasn't trying to act as though he was interested; I usually do those things, too.)Midway through the interview, I noticed that he was getting a little sweaty and seemed uncomfortable, and kept looking over at my space heater, which I had on, and which I needed on because my ankles are always cold. Always. Just my ankles, too. (They're cold right now, in fact. I wish leg warmers would make a comeback, and I wish they would be for guys, too.

Children And Wedding Etiquette
2008-12-31 03:06:00 Most of the romantic and ideal wedding scenes we have seen in movies involve cute and huggable children. However, being the jolly, innocent and fun creatures that they are, most often, weddings, at least in the movies, involving children turn out to be hilarious and disastrously funny. We know that children are always seeking fun and will not stop to entertain themselves during boring hours. Children can not easily cope up and comprehend the fun adults have on weddings. The occasion can be very boring to them.When children get bored, they usher in trouble to adults. They can roam around, throw cakes at people, fight with other kids or ruin things. These are fun to them, but can be nightmares to adults, especially to brides and grooms during weddings. Children and invitations Admit it. The sad reality is that more and more brides, and grooms as well, do not like the idea that children will be coming over to their weddings. Just the thought of crying children and children messing up w...

Bathroom Etiquette
2008-12-04 15:52:00 Twice in the past two weeks, I have walked into the bathroom at work only to hear someone talking on his cell phone while on the toilet. When this happens, I try to make as much noise as possible. I cough and clear my throat, try to flush as loudly as possible (and sometimes flush twice) and wash my hands like a doctor would before going into surgery. I feel like it?s my responsibility to let the person on the other end of the phone call know that the guy she is talking to is on the toilet. Is this rude or am I doing my civic duty? By the way, I see no problem texting or playing games on your cell phone while on the toilet in a public restroom (for TMI Thursday, I used to play blackjack regularly on my old cell phone; however, this was only when no one else was in the bathroom), but I think talking on the cell phone crosses the line.By the way, if you want an amazing bathroom/phone story, check out this post by Who Invented Roses, an outstanding blog that I wish I started readi...

Wedding Etiquette Appropriate Dress Guest Over 40
2008-11-20 03:02:00 The date of your friend?s weeding is happily circled on your calendar and you have started to scout for that perfect outfit. However, you still have no idea what to wear.The etiquette for the right wedding attire for a guest over 40 can be very different depending on the wedding?s style. However, clues are available to help you make the right decision. An invitation that is formally crafted in an indication that the wedding you?ll be attending will also be formal. An invite with casual wording will call for nice casual outfit. The invitation can also have direct instructions.The location of the wedding is also a good basis. A dress that easily gets caught in the wind will not be appropriate for an outdoor wedding. High heels should be avoided, as these easily sink in the grass or in the sand. A breezy dress will help keep you cool in a hot location rather that a suit. A more dressy and tailored outfit can be used in a wedding held indoors such as a five-star restaurant and country c...

Etiquette in Taekwondo (bowing)
2008-09-09 17:09:00 The first of the five tenets of Taekwondo is Etiquette, which means that as a student of Taekwondo you should show respect and good manners to others. Not just within the training hall (Dojang) but in your everyday life.The most noticeable way this happens within the Dojang is the bow which should be performed whenever appropriate, and specifically:When entering or leaving the Dojang. If an instructor is within the Dojang when you enter or leave, you should bow towrds them. If the Dojang doesn't have an instructor in it, the bow should face the centre of the Dojang.Before and after performing a pattern.Before and after any sparring activity (bow to your opponent).Additionally, when an instructor calls you to come over to them, etiquette states you should stop one pace before reaching them and bow before taking the final step into their presence. This is particularly important at gradings - bow before taking the final step up to the examiners desk. If you've been doing it in lesson...

This makes three weekends in a row that I have gone to the movie theater while Jeff stays home with Lily. I am on a roll. Usually I am the one staying home because Jeff and Mandy love movies so much.I am feeling very brave to be meeting up with people I don't know for an outing.

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.

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.

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.

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...
