When you are locked in traffic you have no place to go. Why is this person next to me blaring their stereo? On top of that the lyrics of the song are obscene. I see children in the car in front of me. What do you think?

I see this kind of **** all the time at the store I work at. Sometimes I want to treat them like a dog and pet the tops of their heads and give them a piece of candy as a treat. How about you?

Why do I get so much enjoyment picking those large dried scabby boggies from my nose? Why is so thrilling to see them leave? Does anyone else flick them on the floor? I estimate that if I do this about 20 times a day, there must be hundreds of scabby dried boggies on my carpet at home (I dont vacuum much). Does anyone else do this?

It is the grandchildren of a friend, they are twins and 1 year old.I have seen the twins once, and the daughter does not keep in contact with me. Listed on the invitation are the toys she wants for the twins, and the ones she already has. They are expensive. So, here is the question, do I tell her mother I will buy what I want or not at all? Give her a gift certificate and tell her to go buy what she wants? I think that is so rude to list things like that. Like I do not have the sense to call and ask. And cost is a factor, I have only just gone back to work after a long abscence, and money is tight, I do not have $60 per kid for these toys. What do I do? I value the grandmothers friendship, but I hate to think that friendship is based on my gift buying potential.

This is probably going to sound stupid but i just want some advice. A friend of mine and myself lost some contact over the past year we started talking again about two weeks ago. She is going through a rough time right now she was just seperated from her husband. She called me cause she needed some help with watching her children. She suggested we catch up and have movie night at her house. Two weeks has passed and i have not heard from her. I phoned her yesterday and left a message just telling her i was just saying hello and if she needed help with anything to call and also if she still wanted a movie night. I have not heard back from her about that yet and im wondering if i should call again in a few days or just let it go and wait to see if she calls me. It almost seems like she just calls if she needs something. any advice appreciated

What is it about people who want to leave their chewed gum on their plate? I'm sorry, but that is just plain gross to others who are at the table, as well as unsaintary to the one who is planning to put it back in their mouth after dinner! I especially am offended when adults do this! Throw it away, and get a fresh stick for after dinner! Anybody else feel the same way about this disgusting habit?

If it were 92 degrees inside an elevator, and the power wasn't working (save for a dim light above you), and the emergency alarm wasn't working, and the emergency phone wasn't functioning, and you were trapped inside with two
other people, whom you didn't know, and one of them suddenly
let one go, and you know who did it, what would you do?

trust me i am not racist, and i don't expect to be treated any different than anybody else, but, i always feel like an immigrant must feel in a room full of caucasian Americans, when i go into a convenience store operated by East Indians or Pakistanis..I don't have that feeling when i go into a Safeway or other store with caucasian employees...I always try and be courteous when i am paying for my paper, or coffee, or whatever i am buying but i don't sense the same courtesy extended back to me...a lot of the time they are on a cell phone and just take my money and hand the change back without so much as a "thank you".....i don't expect to be gushed over, but i would like courtesy returned with courtesy extended...too much to ask for?
