Is it rude to yell a question at someone from another room rather than go to the room they're in to ask it?

Tell her next time "I'm sorry but, it is difficult for me to here you in the other room." When she says "I don't mean for you to get up" Say " You can try buzzing me on the phone" In other words state the problem offer a solution. Instead of getting frustrated.

I agree with you all the way girl! I hate it when I'm just asking a simple question and some beeyatch says something rude that has nothing to do with my question.

It depends on how large the meeting is. If there are only a few people present, simply excuse yourself, leave the room and come back when you're done. If it's a large meeting, simply leave quietly, and return quietly. You don't have to make a big fuss over it, nor do you have to go into a long explanation.

When you walk into a room where people are already present (and you aren't crashing the room in any way), etiquette calls for someone already there to say hello to YOU, to WELCOME you.  However, etiquette aside, there is nothing wrong with you saying the first hello - or at least smiling.

judging by some of the questions that get asked, lots of people do exactly that. I'd say it is certainly harmless, and better than trying to just be rude or inflammatory for the heck of it, because you can hide behind the anonymity here.  I think I might be worse even because I am becoming kind of a "point hog" and now that they are taking away 5 points instead of two for asking a question, I am asking very few.  So good for you, you keep the system going, you don't hurt anybody, and you just let me get 2 points. Thanks.

I wouldn't say it is rude. Especially when many people have more than one sneeze at a time in them. I for one, do not feel good when I have a multiple sneezing fit and someone continuously says it. It draws even more attention to you and by then, they feel obligated and would regret saying the very first one. It's not like they should follow you room to room saying it until it's over. Now wouldn't that be silly. \n  As far as a blanket one for the rest of the day? Well, if you say it once to that person for that day, and they sneeze again later, let someone else take the torch. If you are the only one in the romm, then go ahead and say it, but follow up with something like, "do you plan on doing this all day"? "I'll need to know if I have to clear up my schedule" LOL

Is this a trick question? lol\n\nWell,I don't think it is the best thing to do,but it seems to happen all the time. The one in charge mostly seems to be the brunt of everyone else's jokes. Notice how it gets so quiet when he/she walks in the room? That is a good indication if you're the boss that they're either talking about you or talking about something else they shouldn't be at work. I suppose some people have good reason to complain about their boss,but laughing at them...let me see...hmmm..does this person act funny,look funny,tell stupid jokes to try to fit in,try to 'act' like the boss but really can't pull it off?  I suppose there would be some reasons why people might laugh,but does it really make you a better person if you join in? Put the shoe on the other foot.

No it's not rude to ask in my opinion.  The guy could always not reply if it is upsetting.  Perhaps you really really helped him with your answer and he would be very grateful.  I think you should ask and then you can satisfy your curiousity because until you do, it is going to niggling away at you.

I'm a bit like that aswell sometimes. Just take a deep breath and walk away. Staying there will make you more angry. If you can't walk away, just tell them you're doing something wrong politely.

No it is not rude to talk about your house, unless you start talking about how you (and I'm just generalizing here...) have a 5 person hot tub or a 50 inch plasma screen TV, mentioning that you live in a home is one thing, but saying that you live in a mansion, for example, is another.  Until recently I was able to talk in-depth to all of my sponsored kids about my home, because it was usually just above the poverty line for where I live.  Besides the house what has happened in your life, children love hearing about that and I've found that they sometimes open up more about their own lives

It depends. If the question requires a particular kind of knowledge, I think it's okay. If I smell a certain racism, xenophobia or discrimination of that kind, I think that's wrong, and I usually report them.\n\nBTW, does it bother you so much, if the group addressed includes you? Or just when the questions are addressed to others?

I am Mr. Rude. Go suck donkey nuts! HAHAHAHAA\n\nI'm just kidding. Anyways, some people are rude just to be funny. Sometimes its funny, but when you're looking for an accurate answer, you're gonna hate the guy.

I know exactly how you feel....\nYou know what's really bad though...Is those times you catch yourself doing that...\nI think in most cases it's not intended to be rude.  People just like to make conversation about anything and get so caught up in something they've been wanting to say they forget about being rude.\nAnd in some cases people might change the subject because they can't handle the one that's being discussed....\nYou're right, sometimes it is funny...\nWith your really good friends, you ever notice that sometimes you can have two or three conversations going at once.....and everyone knows what everyone else is talking about...Never missing a beat.. That's hecka cool.\nIt's only the ones who want all the attention on themselves you've got to watch out for...\nGoodaytoyou...\nAnd maybe you should thing about becoming a play-writer! !

"For example, if you overheard a piece of a conversation where the person was saying how they could afford to buy something new, and you knew that they had debts with someone locally, would you confront them about the purchase or would you contact the person they owed? "\n\nI just took a tid bit out but you can see where I am taking this from.  Right there you are contradicting your argument.\n\nIn one section you are talking about eaves dropping and not getting into other peoples business. And in another you talking about confronting someone about someone else's problem.  You have a point I just feel that you are explaining your self the wrong way.  Gossip will happen all of your life in every place you go. Work, School, even Church.  \n\nI can understand that it is frustrating when you hear people do this, but technically you are doing it yourself and not even realizing it.  When you hear someone say something behind someones back and you tell your friend "Now that is messed up." and then rant about people being the way they are and talk about how they should say that to that persons face, you are just doing it yourself.\n\nLet me ask you this. If you hear someone saying something about your friend, you would confront them about it, but would you also go and tell your friend that so and so was saying this about them.\n\nBy no means am I cutting up your question I am just suggesting to you to take a closer look at the situation and realize that everyone does it to a degree, some more than others but we all do it.

No it is not rude. In this case it is reasonable weddings can have rather strange time frames. early wedding reception later? wedding immediate reception? pictures? cocktails, food, receiving line? it could take hours with set times between or not. But it is not bad manners to ask when any party is expected to end, especially if it is not stated on the invatation. It allows not only for the guest to plan for themselves, but it insures that they do not overstay their welcome. After all we all have had the "GUEST THAT WOULD NOT LEAVE". you know the one that thinks you  could not possibly be tired, have other things to do and so forth.

Take stuff on here "with a grain of salt" as we say where I live ... some people will be rude and others will get upset when they are rude ... it is just Q and A from total strangers ... not exactly of earth shaking importance in the overall scheme of things ... don't let it get to you ...

I don't think that's the best approach. If somebody asks you a question you're unsure of, just say, "I don't know" or "I'm not sure". It's OK to do that. If you try to evade it and skip it, the other person will think you like to run away instead of responding to a situation in some way. Evading and skipping isn't something one can normally achieve without letting away telltale signs.
