etiquette

We've talked about weddings before - they can be a joyous occasion and they can be a complete hassle. But either way, it's always nice to be thought of and included in a couple's special day. But how would you feel about getting an "anti-invitation" for a wedding, telling you to stay home?

I've talked before about people who fail to pick up after their dogs, sometimes having even seen people leave their puppy plops right in front of signs. This weekend my attention was called to a similar thing, public smoking.

I had a funny situation happen last night/this morning. I sent text messages to two completely different friends a little after 10:00 last night. I didn't hear back from either at the time because both were asleep. They both responded a little after 6:00 this morning when I was fast asleep. It made me wonder about phone etiquette.

Most of us work in offices where we have to share our spaces with other people. A lot of people try to respect the space of others and to be considerate. But there are those who just don't seem to care.

Has anybody else noticed that there seems to be an etiquette problem on the roads these days?

It wasn't so long ago that, in order to have a conversation with someone you had to do it face to face or over the phone. It was easy to interpret inflection and get immediate reactions. Technology has changed all of that.
