A Refresher Course on Basic Etiquette/Claudia's Grievance List
Most of this is, in fact, general etiquette. But yet, it is also the stuff that pisses me off the most, and that I end up having to deal with the most. If you're the reason an item is on this list, please knock it off, at least in dealing with me before I become a complete hermit--for Chrissakes, you guys are supposed to be the people I like.
"You can deny all you want that there is etiquette, and a lot of people do in everyday life. But if you behave in a way that offends the people you're trying to deal with, they will stop dealing with you." -Judith Martin (Miss Manners)
Read at your own risk. Contains potentially offensive content for multiple parties. Some of this I should probably not be reopening again, as much of it comes from old offenses since squared away, but stuff builds up with me.
( We figured they were more like guidelines than actual rules )
Yes, I realize I have some of these faults too, hopefully not as many as when I was a sophomore *wince*, and I will try to work on them. And I have other faults too, such as posting inflammatory things on LJ. I will try to work them out as well. But today, I am losing my temper in the only way I can--writing.
