I think in this day & age a lot of etiquette has gone out the window & given way to it's my day i will do it how I WANT, everyone else be damned.
Do you find yourself excusing bad etiquette just because you know someone more? On this board & in real life????
I find some people on this board have major etiquette faux pas but very few people say anything about it.
Not sure if it is because you "know" them more or what? Enlighten me please?
For the most part i will say something, because i am not afraid too, whether it is this month board where i recognize people more or another board with a stranger, but i hate party lines. If just one person realises what they are doing is very offensive to the very people they claim to love then i am happy
. Of course i am realistic because i know most won't change their minds & they offend people anyways but some do.
I have a harder time saying anything in real life, because people take offense real easy & have an excuse at the ready the moment someone says something.
I know someone who is getting married in early june, sent invitations out in january with a march reply date, she said the reason she sent them early was for oot guests, fine i could live with that, but a march reply date & she won't accept late replys? WTF, most people in healthcare here do not get to put in for holidays until april. I sent mine out with a normal reply date. *head desk*
Same person, then proceeded to tell people on her status (about 8 days left to reply) that asked if they could bring a date (including the dj) sure, after 8pm! WTF again? Ya ok, like the dj will tell his gf to come after 8 (he brought her when he did my social, i was perfectly fine with that, meant he did not leave the set up to get a drink or food or anything, when he went to the washroom she was there if something went wrong).
Now they are having a jack & jill shower (i don't think means the same as it does in other areas as they already had a social, i am pretty sure that just means co-ed here). They are requesting people bring cash or rona gift cards, that is all they want. WTF??? IDC who you are i would never take that to a shower, ever, unless it was a split for a bigger gift in which case i hope someone would be buying it beforehand.
Another girl i know sent her invites out already too & her wedding is in august.
Sometimes the things people do make me give my head a shake. I know in the long run they don't affect me but i care about people, i care about them looking like an ass. I don't know why, but i do. Though it seems most folk think it is acceptable which means that very few actually know etiquette & that is sad.
Now i don't believe etiquette applys to every situation & their are exceptions BUT not when it comes to your guests comfort or if it is extremely rude or whatever. Small faux pas are totally different.
