  1. “Aw, jeez, I’m sick of this.” Sam kicked at the dirt. “C’mon!” Teddie screamed, running away with the football, tossing it over his head to John. “You’re monkey in the middle and you have to try to get the ball.”

    Sam ran and tackled Teddie, and with his knee on Sam’s throat, he unzipped his fly and urinated on his chest. In a raspy tone, he uttered, “This is a horrible breach of etiquette.”

  2. Etiquette? Sounds like boutique, not sure of what this is supposed to mean… o.O

  3. I never really liked the concept of etiquette. No, that is a lie. I once liked it. When I was a small child, I asked my mother to find me an etiquette book because I wanted to have perfect etiquette. You could say that it was because there was an etiquette section in pajama Sam, but it’s more because I love order and the proper way of doing things.

  4. He smoothed down my hair, I could feel the warmth seep from his palm. He spoke with such a soft tongue, tripping over his words and correcting himself each time

  5. Etiquette seems to be missing in the modern world. Technology has certainly played a role in its disappearance. when we would rather talk through a text message than a real conversation, communication to break down and misinterpretation occurs. The loss of human kindness that can only appear in face to face conversation may be our downfall.

  6. You can’t go around putting etiquettes on people. The are people and you shouldn’t clasify them. Because you simply can’t, they’re too complicated.

  13. we are driven by the things we are told to do. social propriety. the hardest instinct is to go against what we know to be proper – to do what we truly feel like doing regardless of how people will think of us. at the end of the day, we are shaped by those who surround us, and are prey to their thoughts and emotions. i will be silenced by their voice.

  15. Etiquette, my grandmother always used to scold me for my improper etiquette. She was so harsh on me as a child. A country bumpkin like me knew nothing of manners but still I was a kind child and I always spoke the truth weather It was kind or not. My Grandmother told me I was a disgrace, my mother and father told me I was a gift. I wish they would all just make up their minds

  19. I remember the worst teacher I ever had. She was a substitute for my 5th grade class, whose teacher had caught an unpleasant case of pneumonia. My substitute was a large woman with a thin white shirt, so thin and white that you could clearly see her large bra underneath. She was outraged by our “improper etiquette” and promptly after lunch recess she lectured the class about putting boards behind our backs and under our feet so we would learn to sit and walk properly. She smelled.

  20. I had a dog once. He was a rude dog. No etiquette whatsoever. The thing I remember most about him was his unending stream of flatulence. Unlike “Walter the Farting Dog”, this wasn’t endearing. It smelled like he was smuggling dead fish in his asshole. But. He was a loveable black and white terrier, and we loved him. He also saved my life – so there’s that.

  21. No one seems to know what this word means anymore. There are tons and tons of books telling you how to do this and that, but what happened to just knowing right from wrong. Etiquette was something that your grandmother taught you, not something that you learned from a book. It’s a nature, not something learned.

  23. I hold the door open to our favorite restaurant, where Iv’e already made a reservation. We are seated instantly, because that is how I roll. I pull out your chair you sit your sexy ass in it. We dine, working our way inward through the silverware. I try to say some fancy french stuff, it comes out chopped and screwed of course. I try to hold in my fart because that’s proper etiquette. Footsies under the table, me rubbing on your thighs. Woo its getting hot in here. So I pay the bill, we outta here. Time for desert.

  24. “You must have proper etiquette, you must make me proud of my little girl, you must be PERFECT.” Laughter erupted from my friends as I mimicked my mother in a girly, high-pitched voice.

  25. The ability to follow, be polite, and conform to the expectations of ones society. Socially, physically and emotionally. Physique and posture as well as gestures and the way of spoken word.

  28. most people don’t have them. people yawn without covering their mouths. they sneeze and the snot hits you. they go through a swing glass door and let it swing back hitting you in the forehead and not forgetting – they talk with their mouths full so that you can see what they ordered for lunch.

  29. The thought of obeying some rules predetermined by a bunch of Victorians has never appealed. It’s not real, it’s not visceral, it’s dishonest.
    Live your life and fuck it, let them be repulsed.

  30. Her wrinkled hands were laced in aged etiquette, yet there was no reason to be formal. Not in front of her old peers, who had seen her at her worst-the braces and frizzy hair phase–still, she clung to the notion that she had something to prove to all of them. That even 10 years later, she was good enough to be in their circle.

  33. Highly valued ladies sit around the coffee table and know exactly, what is the etiquette in this situation. Or do they? They actually are a bit uncertain about it. They carefully choose the undangerous subjects and watch each other with eyes where the scare is covered with hardness.

  34. It’s kind of rare these days to stumble upon people who have great social etiquette, myself includedI swear, say ‘bro’ and ‘dude’, make retarded voices… I’m not the “quintessential” lady… But I don’t feel the absolute pressure to be. It’s restrictive and pretty unnecessary. I think as long as your demeanour and behaviour is socially acceptable then that’s fine. No need to be overly ‘demure’.

  35. Etiquette. That one thing he hated. She was always polite, always proper. Why couldn’t she ever be herself? Oh no, that wasn’t how she was brought up, she had to play by the rules. Those damn rules. They were the reason he was stuck here in this stupid tux, acting polite and smiling just so he could get that one last chance to talk to her. That one chance to tell her, show her, that there was more to life than etiquette. More to life than just following the rules.

  36. The proper form of etiquette comes in play at the dinner table: no elbows on the table, only ask for seconds once everyone has had a first helping,and never insult the cool. This is often thrown away at restaurants

  39. Shiloh’s grandma had a thick book on etiquette written by Emily Post. It was where she hid spare cash because she figured no one would actually read that book. Shiloh and I found the money. One day we took it and used it to buy Red Vines and Coke down at Nelson’s Variety. When she found out, she told us we were going to hell.

  40. She had always been taught proper etiquette, how to behave and act. She was a proper little lady.
    But she was bored. Trapped in her routine.
    When she was given the chance to escape, she leapt at it and from the window into a new life.
