Now it's time for our bad etiquette confessions

[hobish]

I agree with the other person who said to send the TY's separately.  It would be even a larger faux pas to include your TY with the Xmas card. 

We received a xmas card which included the thank you card. I wasn't impressed but I also wasn't surprised as this was from the woman who complained about a few people not buying off her registry and how it inconvenienced her because she had to return their gifts to the store.

Yet another reason i am so glad for this site. That is the sort of thing that if Mr. HGish & were ever to marry i just might do. Now i know not to.

Of course I don't have any bad etiquette confessions.  I am either perfect or have selective memory.  You can guess which.

I can remember getting my face slapped when I was 16 because I was horribly rude to my mother.  I don't remember why, but I do remember I deserved it.  I would slap myself now.

And I don't return correspondence.  Never.  Well hardly ever. 

And I have been known to forget Thank you cards.  Well I don't forget them.  I don't do them and then feel really guilty for a long, long time.

This Thursday in choir practice we were working on an anthem for Sunday. It's a song we did at the Christmas concert so we know it, but we were just doing a refresher. Anyway, there was a part where the tenors were supposed to come in, and they missed their cue so only one or two actually came in. They were supposed to come in LOUD and it was just a bunch of mumbly half-hums.

I was irritated because this had already happened twice(and a lot of people in the choir are constantly buried in their music and just wait for their neighbors to come in), so I blurted the first thought that came to mind: "That was PITIFUL! Sing like MEN!"

Cue the sound of a tape wiping and crickets. Then they all started laughing, but Pro wasn't too happy and he made a comment to the whole choir that comments like that need to stay outside.

I'm surprised everybody didn't hit me with their folders for being such a boor.
