Because I am sick to death of my good tippers being nothing more that something to make up for the bad tippers. I work my *** off for everyone that comes into my restaurant, and if someone wants to leave me 20 or 25% it shouldn't just be what's making up for those that don't tip, but as a bonus for the service that I have provided.

I have a bet with my wife about when is it to late to call. I said anything after 9 pm is to late to be calling unless it is family or emergency but 9 is my cut off. She thinks 10 pm is ok. Excluding friends and family, what time is socially acceptable for calling until?

EMO seems to be a common term and I don't know why it is used. Sounds like some sort of name calling? Just curious.

I've had several different upstairs neighbors in different apartment complexes throughout the years and every single one has felt the need to stomp like an elephant and move furniture around at all hours of the morning. Where does one find room to run around for 3 hours straight in an apartment? What possesses people to relocate their sofas and dining tables at 2am? Most of these people had jobs, so I'm assuming they weren't tweakers.

We have employed this gardener, John XXX, for the past 20 years. He will come to tend our garden only once every month when our grass and weeds need to be trimmed. When he first came here, we were still in our early teens. We had then asked him how should we address him. He replied, "Just call me John". Hence, from then on, we just simply called him John. He accepted that and carried on his work.

My mother is someone who tries not to get involved with matters relating to the garden. All these are usually handled by my papa. So he will be the one who will also give instruction to the gardener what is to be done. At the very most, my mom will just give me the money to give it to the gardener to pay him when he finished his work.

Recently, my mom so happened to walk the garden when the gardener is tendering the grass. There was something I needed to tell the gardener to do. So I approached him and addressed him as "John". Straightaway my mom shot back and said "Why are you calling him John? Shouldn't you show some respect to a person more senior than you? Can't you call him Mr XXX?" Almost immediately, John also replied "Yeah, is this how you should be addressing your seniors? Shouldn't you be showing more respect?"

Since then also, John became insistent he be addressed as Mr XXX. He became very reluctant to carry out our instructions when we called him "John". It became very difficult to talk to him.

Was what I had done wrong? Must I now addressed him as Mr XXX? Isn't this ridiculous? I have called him "John" for the last 20 years. He was also the one who told us to do that.

If I were to comply with that, I will also feel very silly. I feel like I am being treated like a little kid to be told to do that. Why should I do that? I am already in my thirties!!!

I watch her infant daughter (my neice) 3 days a week along with my two children (both under school age). I have been watching my neice ever since she was 4 weeks old and as time has gone by my sister-in-law has become very picky, making comments about what I could do to improve the looks of my house and how I could lose weight. My house is not a pig sty, but sometimes there are toys on the floor (Three kids running around all under 5!). As for my weight, I have always been a size 12 or a 14 and she is a size 0 soaking wet. I take care of my neice for very cheap and I feel like her comments are starting to wear on me. I keep my house as clean as I possibly can working part time and coming home to take care of my kids and watch hers. I love her as a sister but what can I say to her or should I not say anything?

Recently new neighbors moved into the apartment next door. They seem to be really nice people but seem to lack a little common sense when it comes to apartment etiquette. Once already, I have gone over to ask them to turn down their TV. While I was doing that, I realized that the problem is not the fact that their TV is loud, it is just that it is right next to the wall connecting our two apartments. Every night when my husband comes home, he dwells on the fact that he can hear the bass coming from their speakers. It is driving him nuts and in turn making me angry at his seemingly overreaction. I have two problems, an over dramatized husband who just wants peace and quiet after work, and how to approach my neighbors with the suggestion of re-arranging their furniture. Any ideas?

we reported him twice already to the community office for grave threats and blocking our road right of way, so he was requested not to do it again, but lately, he again blocks his car in front of our driveway every morning. Our house is situated in a dead end portion of the road, and his taxi drivers parks their dilapidated taxis in that area causing it to block our way together with his car. He cannot claim that portion to be his because it is for public use

How old was the guy that you tickled? What did you tickled his feet with? (ie. fingers, feather, tongue) Were his feet ticklish? Did he have socks on or was he barefoot when you tickled his feet? Why did you tickle his feet?

Please include as much detail as possible.
The best, most descriptive answer will get the 10 points. Be sure to answer all of the questions.
Thanks.
