Talking really loud, chewing with mouth open, talking only about themselves as examples.

My co-worker's wife is having surgery this coming Monday, The surgery is relatively minor, but she will be incapacitated for a month or 2 (foot surgery). In a friendly sort of gesture, I would like to take over a little "something" to say "wishing you a speedy recovery." My co-worker is kind of an old school southern man, so I think he and his wife would appreciate the gesture. Should I take over some sort of entree ( casserole, lasagne, etc), or a nice home made pie (pecan, apple, etc)?

eating a lovely meal with my boyfriend, when a child walked passed me, took my toupe off of my head. I yelled at the child, he then ran to the bathroom and put it in the toilette and flushed it down the drain. I came out of the bathroom crying. It cost me over $1000. What should I do?

the second time i have seen this. the music plays the bride and groom light the unity candle. then, while the song is playing they talk just between the two of them. no one hears what they are saying. this goes on the entire length of the song which is about 5 minutes. then, when the song ends, they step down. the ceremony continues. is this a new trend or what?

Really, is any day good enough to be declared 'absolutely fabulous'? I think that's a crock of ****, a classic example of artificiality.

It's their silver anniversary and so I figure we should get them something nice, but I'm not sure what would be appropriate. We don't have a whole lot of money to work with, nor a lot of time in which to do it.

and others will say one is critical and negative, but treat the second one as being curious and intersted?

I'm not worried over it, defensive, or insecure. I'm just simply asking.

Ok we all have given and receieved a gift and most times we either return it or not use it.Therefore we give a gift card so that the person can purchase a gift that they will actual use and or like.
So why do so-called gift experts insist that we buy a gift knowing that the person will most likely not use it or exchange it?
And what are your thoughts about a gift card?

I'm asking just out of curiousity....not judging...just want to know if others notice it too.

I haven't been to every state in the U.S. ....only up and down the East Coast, TN, NV, TX, AZ, HI, MI, OH, and WV.

I live in Northern Maryland, but have lived in HI, NC, and also just outside of DC. Sometimes people are very rude here. I notice it other areas too in the North East, namely NY, NJ, CT, and MA. DC seems bad too, and VA is getting there.

From my own experience..I think TN has the most polite, laid back, friendly people. And in the other states, at least people had common courtesy and seemed much more friendly.

I know I am making large generalizations, and I'd like to think the people here at the individual level really are good people.

Personally, I think it's related to the congestion....but do others in the area notice the same thing? What do you think causes it? Do think things will ever change, or that this behavior towards others will keep spreading?

My husband fancies himself a real joker, but he teases people about stuff that no one would ever mention, just out of politeness. Even though I do think it is extremely funny, not everyone shares our funny bone. How can I get him to see that sometimes it hurts peoples feelings, even though I am crying from laughing so hard, and really want to scream" Lighten up for god's sake!" We both realy seem inappropriate, and I can keep my composure untill he starts. I am okay on my own, but he just blurts, what everyone is thinking anyway. Usually in a funny way, but some people don't think we are amusing. Help. I just can't controll it around him.

This other tenant hogged the washers so I waited an hour while his laundry just sat in the washer and they were done washing. So I waited a little while when they then set in the dryer after they were dry. I finally took his laundry out and piled them on the folding table so I could dry mine. He walks in and gets pretty mad. What do you people think about this?
