What are some good books that teach you etiquette and how to be ladylike?
​
I want to be even more ladylike and classy
I decided to clean up my act. I want to be viewed as ladylike and proper. For my own sake. I also want to attract more gentlemen. I cleaned up my act by:
Learning to be happy without male attention
Not having a lot of casual sex
Taking better care of appearence
Reading about ettiquette
I even wrote a big list of social etiquette no no's.
Men, do you prefer a woman that is ladylike?
What I meant by ladylike:
Doesn't sleep around
Is selective with partners
Elegant
Classy
Not obsessed with male attention
Doesn't post bikini or nude pics
Can you choose feelings?
I vented about how I was pissed that my manager almost wrote me up. Multiple people said I can control how I feel wtf. I said "Would you be able to control how you feel if someone threw acid at your face? No, of course not.", and "How can control how you feel? If I spill boiling hot water on you, are you going to choose to be pissed or indifferent? Feelings aren't a choice. "
How do I be more ladylike?
I'm 22F and have some bad habits, like:
Licking my fingers after eaching chips or something saucy
Being late often
Licking my lips when dry
Cracking my back and knuckles in public
Not being discreet when I fix my bra, pants, or shirt
Interrupting people
Asking personal questions or not talking about appropriate things
Not controlling my tone of voice when annoyed sometimes
I want to be classy and proper
What are your most trashy, classless or unladylike habits?
For me, it's:
Licking my fingers after eating
Slouching
Interrupting
Talking too fast
Asking personal questions
Not fixing my pants discreetly enough
Goofing off
I am fucking tired of tattle tales in the work place
Seriously, we are adults here. If you don't like something private I told others, mind your goddamn business. I got in trouble because someone either overheard what I said or got offended by what I said. The store managers are also supposed to tattle on employees for stupid things. A manager tattled on me for being "rude" to a customer to the general manager. I wasn't even rude. All I told the customer was "I don't have that product, go to paint department". I wonder why that wuss who tattled on me for asking personal questions (when we were friends) couldn't just tell me he was uncomfortable? I have Asperger's, I don't always know what is appropriate between friends.
My general manager threatened to write me up for forgetting to put a customer's info on an order sheet
He also said I wasn't doing my job and that one of my co workers did my job. I swear i was stocking shelves and cleaning. I'm also neurodivergent so I forget things unintentionally.
General manager threatened to write me up for accidentally not writing down a customer's info on an order sheet
He also said I wasn't doing my job and that one of my co workers did my job. I swear I was stocking shelves and cleaning shelves like I was supposed to. I wasn't trying to be lazy. I'm neurodivergent and sometimes forget things. We still had the customer's info. It was just not on an order sheet. I'm in charge of the biggest part of the store, the cleaning aisle and displays. I order and recommend cleaning products. Am I wrong? Did he overreact? I think he did.

Is this guy a catfish?
I met this guy on Fet and he hasn't met me yet because of financial issues with his elderly parents. He gets panic attacks if he takes pics of himself. The picture of him he showed me was 17 yrs old (I image searched it). The photo looked oddly specific because it was from Fubar and Vampire freaks.com. i suspected it was a catfish but it seems more like an old pic of him. He said he'd visit me at work soon but couldn't today because his car got totaled.
Did this customer overreact?
I work in retail and we are known for coddling the customers (we are supposed to). A man asked me for help finding an item. I said we didn't have it in my department, he then said he got it here and I said "go to paint department". He then said I wasn't polite or helpful, then told one of the store managers and then told my general manager. I got in trouble. He said he's been a customer for years and said he's never been spoken to that way, he said I was short with him.
I'm worried that this guy I'm involved with will break up with me. Could use reassurance.
He said:
Hey, I think I need a couple more weeks to figure things out. I don't know if I can mentally keep up with you right now and I need to focus on a lot of work and personal things, mostly financial, for the next couple of months.
Context: he was on vacation for over a month and just got back. He did more travel this weekend to pick up his dog. He's in the army. We used to text daily until his vacation. He was away in a different country with poor internet. Everyone is telling me he will dump me but my therapist said it's too soon to know that. And so does chatgpt.
Partner wants more space after being over a month apart and barely texting me while on his vacation
This morning, he said:

We have been apart for over a month while he was on vacation and he barely texted me on vacation because of bad internet. I'm worried he's done with me. He was in a different country for over a month. He would go days or over a week without texting me.
Am I responsible for making funeral arrangements for my parents?
I have Asperger's, my middle brother is more autistic than I am, and my youngest brother has down syndrome and profoundly disabled (mostly non verbal). I'm wondering who would be responsible for funeral arrangements and figuring out what to do with my parents/parent if they die in the middle of the night.
Nurse frustrated that I'm struggling with a breathing test
I had a nurse give me a hard time for struggling with the breathing test. In a condescending tone, she was like "I don't understand why you can't do it again". Bitch shit up, you don't have asthma. How can you expect an asthmatic to do well on a breathing test?
