About EtiquetteHell.com What
is Etiquette Hell? EHell is the internet's largest repository of
firsthand bad etiquette stories submitted by thousands of ordinary people tired
of the boorish bad behavior they've endured. Rather than one etiquette
maven waving the finger of disapproval, the impact of EtiquetteHell.com is a
grassroots movement of thousands of people defining society's parameters for
good manners and thereby providing a cyber peer pressure on society to change
the bad behavior. The captivating, entertaining, often tongue-in-cheek
humorous style of the web site pulls readers in and provides an innovative way
to overcome stereotypical perceptions of etiquette which keeps people from
learning how to behave. How
did it all start? EtiquetteHell.com was created in 1995 in
response to a tongue-in-cheek joke on a wedding planning forum about the need
for a virtual etiquette hell for brides deliberately planning to execute
seriously tacky, greedy and obnoxious faux pas. Miss Jeanne kept
threatening to cast these bridezillas into etiquette hell and finally someone
asked where this etiquette hell was. Jeanne created a single page on her
personal site with a few stories of her own, invited others to submit their own
stories and provided an email link. With absolutely no advertising or
promotion, Etiquette Hell exploded in growth to its current archive of 5,000+
stories, numerous media mentions,
and an active, popular forum. What
does the future hold for EtiquetteHell.com? The main project for
2007 is the addition of an online etiquette reference manual. Since this
is the equivalent of writing a large book, this will be an ongoing project as
each "chapter" is completed. Also, old, out of print etiquette
books will become available to be read online. Who
is the Dame Behind The Flames? Jeanne Hamilton is a writer,
professional wedding coordinator, wife and mother. She lives in North
Carolina with her husband and children.
