It's pretty disgusting when a man does it. It's even more disgusting to see a woman spitting out her guts right in front of your face. If you are one of these women, please cut it out. Leave those disgusting things to men.

Today a black individual who I see sometimes said to me "what up my n****?"

I'm white and come from the south, but I am NOT racist. I did't know what to say, so I just said "Hi sir, how are you doing, how's the wife and kids?"

The guy just looked at me kinda crazy and left. How should I respond to a coon next time he asks me this question?

This time there was 5 girls. I VERY NICELY said to them " I saw what you young ladies did to that poor girl 2 days ago and she deserves an apology" not only did they laugh at me well they felt like intimidating me and followed me to the food court and began singing Mariah Careys Hero. I was on the verge of tears. And than they said-loud-I need to take a S**T maybe I'll go **** in her lunch and pointed in my direction. I was very humiliated. I didnt say anything wrong to these girls just that they should apologise. And why arent they in school? It was 1pm isnt that school time? what is going on with people? Well I circled the mall before I went back to work. Oh sorry this is continuation to 2days ago I saw something horrible... I wonder what ever happened to that poor girl?

i was at a very formal dinner the other day, it was a charity event fund raiser and everything was perfect, the quiet background music was to my liking, the food was superb as was the wine. Actually the wine was a little too perfect, i drank more than my fair share and while i was a little drunk i climbed atop the dining table where i proceeded to take a dump next to the centre-piece. it was smelly and oogy and poor old mr.rogers nearly had a heart attack. needless to say i was promptly asked to leave. at that point i sobered up a little bit and just tried to leave with my dignity. what should i do if this ever happens again?

i was a guest at a very formal dinner party the other day, we used various cutlery and the food was positively delicious. however at one point, one of the other guests dropped his eye glasses on the floor just behind me and as he knelt down to pick them up i accidentally broke wind in his face, and it was rather loud too. and it was quite smelly, everybody stopped what they were doing and started staring . what should i do if this ever happens again?

I have an interview with a non-profit organization and I was wondering is there a certain way to dress on an interview with a place like this. I mean I just don't think it would be ok to walk in there wearing a $5000 suit. Not that I own one but if I did it just seems wrong to wear it to a job interview there. What do y'all think?

I was trying to call my wife, and accidentally dialed a different area code. Of course, when I realized it I immediately hung up the phone. Almost immediately, I received a call back, apparently from the number I dialed. He sounded in such a bad mood, and practically scolded me on the phone and called me names that I can't post here. I don't know him, but I sincerely apologized and tried to explain to him what happened. Of course, he was not hearing any of it, and decided to go on this tyrade. I hung up on him, and he called several more times.

How do I deal with a moron like this? I have some ideas, but I want to know if anyone else has gone through this. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am attending a wedding at 6:30 in the evening, but it is at the home of the bride and groom. Any suggestions on appropriate attire? I know evening weddings are usually formal, but this is at a home, would a cocktail dress work? Thanks!

Having met a very pleasant young lady I went out on a date with her, and she suggested that I choose where to go - so I duly for a very pleasant wine bar for us to go to together. Now she wants to see me again, and I suggested that she chooses where we should go. However, she is new in town and is unsure as she claims not to know the city well. Would it be rude of me to suggest a place to go, based on the type of place she wishes to visit? As we live in different parts of the city, I of course understand that after she went out of her way to come to meet me last time, I should go out of my way to go to meet up with her. Or am I just being old fashioned here?

PLEASE give me some tactful, non-overt ways to remind her (for the THOUSANTH TIME) to leave a message so that i can know she wants me to call back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (can u tell i'm frustrated?!?!?!)

P.S. Yes, I know that SHE is the rude one here, but since i can't end the relationship (she's somewhat a relative) i have to find a way so that i don't kill her but she doesn't annoy me to death either.............

I think it is bad manners not to give someone the courtesy of awarding a 'Best Answer' when they may have gone to a lot of trouble to research something on others behalf.

My friend got mad when her grooms step brother only spent about
$30.00 on their wedding gift to them. She thinks you should spend the same amount of what the dinner costs per person. For example, if your whole family is invited, say 5 people, the dinner costs $20.00 per plate: 5 x 25.00= $125.00. I know if i had three kids to outfit for a wedding, plus any traveling expenses I probably could not quite afford a $125.00 gift. They also think a wedding is supposed to be a money making event. Plus how in the world are you supposed to know how much the bride & groom are paying per plate?!
