I'm completely ignorant about this sort of thing. I.e., my mom had to tell me that khakis and white shirts do not go together. (Apparently, this was an understatement?) My idea of "nice" is a casual button up shirt with jeans. And sneakers. And that's an improvement over my previous definition of...
I live in a hostel. My roommate is very disturbing. Because he doesn't payback money loan in time. But he pretends a good person to everyone with good appearance and smile. I want to avoid him to give him any loan. How can I do that easily when I live with him?
The scenario:
A group of people, who have known each other for a very long time, meets again. Among them are Alice and Mallory.
Alice: She has been gone for quite a while and just came back. Now she has a lot of new stories to tell, and we are eager to listen to her.

What are the proper norms for addressing a total stranger whose name is not known to you? Does it differ from place to place or is there a global norm about how to address strangers?
I am an adult male living in the US, in case it matters.
Anyway, there's something I do when walking past people on a (not too busy) sidewalk or in a hallway, where I will make eye contact with them, smile and nod, and then look away. Often, they will do the same. It seems to me like the purpos...
These words are useful in that they indicate that the OP has strong feelings about this, and that the OP characterises these people in a certain way. That's useful info for anyone writing an answer.
If there is bias involved in a question, one of the things answers might do is walk the OP throu...
