What topic do you consider too serious/sacred/important, etc. to joke about? And what do you do if a friend or someone you work with crosses that line? Do you laugh anyway?

My name is Cynthia, and I have a couple friends from Spain who pronounce my name "Thintia" because in Spain, C's sound like "th," and they pronounce "th" like "t" because H's don't make sounds in Spanish.

All of these people who do this read my name before I was ever introduced to them in person, but they've heard me say my name before.

Is it rude if I correct them? It's not their fault, that's just how they would say something that was spelled like that. How do you correct someone on something like that?

I was at the walmart picking up some chicken broth to add to my specialty chicken skin battered gravy recipee. I was in the aisle getting the food and as I walked away my dress got cought on a piece of metal on the shelf and I walked so fast then my dress was completely torn off.
As I moved away more I drop and broke a bottle of olive oil and it broke leaked everywhere on the floor and I ended up while half naked slipping on it and I pummled in to the fruit section where I tried to hold on to the fruit stand but instead it toppled over and one of the cucumbers landed in the olive oil and I fell on top if it and it ended up going in my butt almost entirely. I pulled it out and poop came out with it. So Im on the floor half naked with oilive oil and random poop on my body and everyone at the wamart laughed and called me names and pointed. 1 guy started hocking and spitting on me. The manager was among them too. I have never been so imbarassed. 1 lady even took pictures. :(

Okay, I have this friend who never started really talking to me until this summer after I gave her advice on a boy she was dating.

Now she calls me at all hours of the night just randomly with no point, and she IMs me CONSTANTLY just to say "whats up?" then gets me into a convorsation then just signs off randomly.

Its more frustrating than annoying.. she's overly clingy and way to obsessive compulsive about herself and the boys she likes.

Is there a way to NICELY tell her to cool her heels a little?

I have always said if you can't say anything nice keep your mouth shut. Unfortunately, it seems that many people on here did not receive the same type of upbringing. Perhaps they were raised by junkies or wolves, I don't know and don't really care. All I do know is that many answers are offensive and uncalled for and downright abusive.

I come on here to gather information from the "regular people." It is my way of hearing what the common folk are thinking, doing and saying. quite often it seems that the common folk are only looking to be insulting and offensive.

True, I have heard from some interesting and positive people, but there have been a good deal of answers on here that come from assinine morons.

Have you had similar experiences? (only intelligent, well thought, non-offensive responses, please)

So many quesitons on here easily answerable by the asker simply looking online, and essentially they want you to look up the answer for them. Just lazy? Seeking attention?

I made a terrible mistake. Felt I have cheated all of you on puropose. It was out of curiousity and probably wanted to test the yahoo system that prompted me to do this. I entered the site and voted my answers. I did it twice just to find out what will happen next. Apparently my votes were accepted. I didn't feel happy about it. Can anyone teach me how to undo it? I am terribly sorry.

I've worked a graveyard shift (11p-8am) for years now. However, my wife, my friends, and other family still seem to have no clue as to when it is appropriate to call, come over, invite me to events, etc. I love my job, but I can't seem to get through to the daywalkers how important a good day's sleep is to me. I would also be interested in any scheduling or other tips from other veteran night shifters.

Everyone has breasts, just girls' breasts stick out more. But girls have to cover them up, I think that is wrong.

I am so sick of GOD BLESS YOU being said after someone sneezes. Guess what, your soul did not just try to escape. I don't say it because I don't want people thinking I believe in god. But when my wife sneezes and I say nothing, people stare me down like I am rude,or sheepishly assert their own blessing. I for one, have had enough. Let's just start saying "would you like a tissue?" wouldn't that be more constructive? even if you don't have one, they could say ,"sure" and you could ask around for one or be a man and offer a sleeve. get behind me people, let's make something positive happen through yahoo answers for once

I usually say sorry to anyone who is hurt when its not my fault and get the "No dont say sorry, its not your fault" reaction. Also most people find it hard to say sorry.

To me, saying sorry is like second nature even when it is not my fault. I have however been in rare (and i mean very rare) situations when I dont even say it at all when there is a commotion between me and another person. You might ask if I mean it when i say sorry and the anwer is yes. I feel that it is a way to show people u care, but why is it hard to say sorry.

Why Why Why?
