    HELLOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    There is a site on the web that has to do with manners; it is HERE. I am going to cite one question and then print the answer given:

    Question
    My wife and I have a 10,000 square foot house and my wife is always yelling at me from one room or even one floor to the next. She is not mad, just trying to talk to me. Not only does she think that this is normal, but she gets mad if I do not here her or answer her. My mom taught us that it was rude to do this and that we should go to the room that the person was in to talk to them. What do you think?


    Answer
    Dear Mr. Bishop,
    This is one of my pet peeves as well. Typically you
    cannot hear the other person clearly and you either
    have to resort to shouting "What?" or getting up to
    go find them and see what it is that they wanted.
    Very annoying. Your dear Mother raised you properly,
    it is rude to shout from room to room.
    Best regards,
    Amanda Gamble
