Proper etiquette was ingrained in me as a child. My mothers side of the family has a strong "proper English" back round and it just was a way of life. Hospitality was the norm. Being polite at our own dinner table at home was always upheld. It was very nice to have my fathers side of the family to balance this out. They were often blunt and had a hearty appetite for laughter, even in public.\nI am grateful that I was raised with both. I can enjoy the company of a variety of people and not just those that are "socially acceptable"(heavy quotation marks there)\n\n"Please" and "Thank you" I think are just the cornerstones of good manners. Politeness is something that shows respect as well. Being courteous to strangers is a must for me. I would want the same in return.\n\n How important are they? On a scale of 1 - 10 I would say an 8. Very important. But certainly not the most important things in life.

I was in a simular situation when I was a manager.  I had an employee that was offending customers.  I had no idea how to approach this person with fear that their reaction would be with anger and/or embarrassment.  It wasn't until someone in a higher position gave me this advice.....\n\nThe person who has the body odor doesn't understand the concept of cleanliness as you do.  So, approaching them you will notice that they may be oblivious to the situation.  My experience was that I was educating them on cleaniness.  Once achieved, this should favor both parties.  \n\nAlthough the person I delt with never changed their ways, probably because we weren't friends and that this person was a bad employee.  Your situation is different.  Still, it's worth the effort to educate....\n\nHope this helps you.\n\n:)\nPeace

Has anyone read the new etiquette book written by the pizza hut workers? What did you think of it? \nI personally thought the best tips were the ones that dealt with bathroom etiquette. It was really interesting, especially since Billy Bob wrote that section.\n\n\nPersonally, I did not agree with this one.\n\n\n5a. When in the bathroom, always offer the  people in the stall\n      to the right and left of you a slice of pizza by sliding it \n      under the stall to them.\n\nFirst of all, why should I offer them some of my pizza?\nThe last time I was in the John--no one offered me a slice and the two hogs on both sides of me were like sharks in a feeding frenzy--hot pepper packets and cheese packets were flying through the air and all you could hear was the gnashing of teeth and the crunching of pizza bones and an occassional ripper.\n\nI told the lady waiting in line to use the bathroom that they weren't sharing and she took her pizza and left.    \n\nI also didn;t like\n\n\n12c. " To promote patriotism, it will be the policy for pizza hut\n           employees to get on the intercom at least once an\n           hour to lead the customers in a pledge of alligance.\n           No matter where you are, please rise and place your\n           hand over your heart and join in. For those who are\n           in the restroom, there will be a employee to lead you\n           in the pledge of alliegance there."\n\n* Now that one can get a little messy don't you think?\n   What was Billy Bob thinking? and who in the world gave\n    him that authority? Was it Marge???? She must have been\n     drinking with the Toobogan club again.

You know, you bring up an interesting point.\n\nWhen you are at home, you can just turn on the sink next to you and clean off your hand.\n\nHowever, this scenario is especially inconvenient when you are in a stall somewhere else. What do you do then? You can pseudo-clean up by getting most of it off with another sheet of toilet paper, but your hand still has crap and germs on it. Then you have to pull up your pants with your clean hand and try to button and zipper up. This is not easy, and most people probably give up and use both hands to get their pants up. So then you've gotten crap on your pants and shirt and have to go back to the office.\n\nIn this world of computers and fancy cars that give you directions, why are we still rolling toilet paper in a ball to wipe our @$$es, and we can't even see what we're doing?\nI don't get that. Don't the Japanese have robot toilets that scrub and clean your @$$? Why can't we get that here in the US?

I hover sometimes or I use tissue to cover the toilet seat. Sometimes I hold it if it is a nasty restroom. At school I will not take a shit. It is really embarrassing if you do it and someone just happens to walk in behind me.

Well, you should probably stand up before you flush.

just general politeness. Please and thank you or at least thanks when appropriate. Not talking about nasty, gross, or lewd things in front of mixed company. Office mainly just keep it light and professional...gossip to a minimum at least too. school, appropriate speak and dress for the age group...especially if you are a teacher. And at home just the general common sense.

Yes, please do. =)\n\nConsider this- the Men's room has both Urinals and toilets.  If the intent of the rest room was merely for 'number one' the urinals would suffice (save possibly one bowl for the handicapped)

1. Run as fast as you can to the nearest bathroom \n2. Kneel in front of toilet, hauck lugie. \n3. Wipe your mouth. \n4. Breathe deeply. \n5. Sense the ever-present luminosity of life, (do not be discourages if this does not work for you the first time- it takes practice) \n6. And continue about your daily activities.

Avert your eyes and say excuse me quietly as  you back out of the room (unless they didn't notice you - in that case say nothing).\n\nIf it has already been done, you just need to push past it - it's normal, it's natural, it's no big deal.  \n\nApolgize for any embarassment and forget about it.\n\nPeace!

Maybe have people at the door or something asking for tickets. If someone goes to the bathroom, let them know before they leave that they will have to show their ticket again when coming back into the session...

You guys are unbelievable. I can't believe you all are answering questions in the Etiquette area.\n\nSometimes, you just have to put up with listening to stuff you don't want to hear.  Politely excuse yourself, period.  Tell them you have to go.\n\nBeing rude will net you nothing but another enemy. There's no reason for that - you never know when the person you're talking to now will appear again in your life -- maybe a boss, a co-worker, or a friend's friend, or worse, a waitress or waiter who has the ability and opportunity to spit in your food.  It's always a good idea to be polite to everyone, and it's just the right thing to do.

That's not possible unless you are medically ill.  It's not healthy either.\n\nJust keep your liquids to a minimum to avoid excessive trips but you will still make 'standard' trips to the restroom.\n\nPerhaps next time (since you don't like public restrooms) try taking a plane - it's quicker

Open up the door a little bit and wave. Then shout out loud that you need the toilet paper. Sometimes people wouldn't bother whatever other people are mumbling in the toilet themselves. Well, maybe if you would shout out louder.\n\nAnyway, if you really did scream, I can only say that some people in Singapore are really big headed ignorant bunch.\n\nBottomline, just wave and shout louder or.. well, zip up and move to another cubicle to clean up.\n\nCheerios.
