A lot of stores, especially in the malls, are adopting the policy that if you are on a cell phone you will not be served.  I think this is a great idea. You may want to ask your manager what your stores specific policy is on this..whether it is acceptable, if you are busy, for you to politely ask this person to step aside so you can take care of the next customer.\n\nIt amazes me how many people answer their phones in movie theatres, college lectures, libraries and anywhere else they darned well want to! Whatever happened to good manners?

I can really understand your frustration, Common courtesy has all but disappeared off the face of the planet.There are many instances that I have been in where a simple I'm sorry or are you Ok, would make all the difference in the world I got fed up with this behavior and moved to a small Community in Northwestern California where people actually say please and thank you , and also wave Hello I can't tell you how it has changed the quality of life for me . Just hang in there, not all people are uncaring idiots. There are still some good ones out there. lol.

Report this to your immediate supervisor verbally and in writing. Use words like "profanity", "hostile workplace", "sexual harassment", "neglect", and "elder abuse".\n\nAsk the patient's family to advocate on her behalf regarding a set bedtime and to not have those employees in her wing.\n\nRequest that the guy has his shift and wing changed so that you do not have to work with him.\n\nGood Luck! This seems like a pretty bad situation for everyone involved. I hope everything works out.

You MUST have a living will for this information to be known!  Personally if I'm breathing on my own, and show signs of brain activity then chances are I will awaken. If I show none of the previous signs then by all means pull the plug & let my children, and the rest of my family remember me as I was.  As a healthcare professional I applaud you for having a living will, that's a hard desicion to make that is sometimes asked of our loved ones, one that I have seen people make with their hearts, instead of their heads.  Good for you! :-)

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.

Okay well, i know that when a person is between sleep and wake, they are capable of having conversations. I also know that these are the times you should take advantage of and ask him a real question about your relationship that he may avoid otherwise. The truth normally comes out when the subconcious is in control. \n\nNo- for real. It's hard to answer a question like that. If the arguments are really bad, maybe you should poke him and make him thing he got bit by a tiny bug. Just enough for him to realize what time it is. Now i admit you cant do that everyday cause if hes smart he will figure it out lol. \n\n\nThen theres the option of getting over it. By that i mean, if you say he doesnt remember any of it and he wouldnt normally say those things otherwise, then get over it. At least you woke him up to go to work. Would he rather lose his job? you know? You love him, there is a way. In this you may just have to stop being a woman, turn off your hurt feelings, and wake the man up. You know he doesnt mean it, just get past this in the morning and the rest of the day is fine. \n\n\nAlso, did you ask him how you should wake him up. Or if you should at all and ignore the alarm? Ask him for a suggestion on how it should be handled. Your gonna marry him? Then you should be able to talk to him about anything. And trust me, there will be WAYYYY more important conversations than this in your relationship. Might as well get the communication practice in while you can hunny.

Just say, "well I hate to be rude but I think we're gonna have to get together another time I have some personal errands to run or I have to get some sleep". Tell them you'll call them tomorrow as you stand up & start walking to the door. Or you could scream there's money falling from the sky & slam the door behind them & lock it as they run out. heehee...best of luck to you!

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.

Generally a wake is the visitation where people come to pay their respects to the person who died and go through a line to (sometimes) view the body and to talk with the family.  The funeral is the service that honors and remembers the person that died and is like the final resting point for that person.  As far as it being offensive to attended the wake and not the funeral, it depends on how close you are to the family and/or the person that passed away.  I wouldn't consider it rude to go to one and not the other.  And you have to remember, the family of the person who died aren't really going to be thinking about who came to what- their minds are so far away from the "real" world.  And for cultural and spriitual significances for Catholic, I don't know.

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!

Would you like to have breakfast?  OK?  Should I call or nudge you?

u r doing the right thing. if you "talk", your opponent can blame you for distracting him. I find that complete silence is even more irritating to your oppenent because they know you are being quiet on purpose. also, always stand or sit out of the oppenents line of vision. that gives then the creeps because they keep thinking you might bump them accidently, or ever so lightly on purpose. don't do anything that could bother your opponent. it will backfire.

This worked for me. Ten or twenty times everyday note something a little unusual and say out loud, "This is kind of odd -- is this really happening or is it a dream? If this is a dream, do I want to have it?" \n\nI know it sounds weird, but it seems to teach your brain to ask AND answer those questions, and to wake you up a little if the answer is "A dream, and no I don't". \n\nThe unusual waking occurrences you are noting don't have to be extraordinary at all. Just a tall person or a dirty car or a moving shadow is unusual enough. If you can't always say it out loud, then think it to yourself very hard.

Well ... I'm sure you've read everything from strips, to doctors to ear plugs to nudging ... but come on who really wants to wake up nudge the person over until they stop ... that's the part that kills me ... he's on his back in a few minutes anyways & I'm stuck awake all night pushing and shoving his body over ... lol ... !\n\nI've learned to pick out his " bad " nights & sleep in the other room ... I also have ear plugs but it makes me nervous because I like to hear what's going on at night with the house, my daughter .... etc ... if he hasn't tried the strips yet I'd buy a few of those ... if that doesn't work - maybe a doctors visit is necessary ... other then that ... I also see why my grandma & grandpa slept in separate bedrooms my whole life too ... lol ... !
