I've always wondered that. The answer is most likely 'yes' but i've never actually heard of anyone admitting to another person or myself about juicy details they "heard" from over the opposite side of the room lol.. anyone have stories of knowing people that actually have done this ? I guess if you were hearing impaired you'd be tempted to do so in compensation of not being able to hear... hrmmmmm.

I will have to make a short "thank you for attending" speech at my forthcoming 40th Party. You'd think that someone approaching 40 would have more confidence but no... can anyone help me overcome this with some ideas? Thanks to all you confident people.

Following a decent meal we had the other night, I was a bit miffed that the bill had added a service charge of 15%. As such I paid the bill and did not leave a cash tip (I am not that rich!)

Am I allowed to ask for the service charge to be removed and then leave the 10-15% as a cash tip?

The reason being that I want my 'tip' to go into the pocket of the person who has been working hard serving the table (and probably isn't paid great deal) rather than the house who are proabably making enough money from the meal anyway.

Many thanks

This just happened to me few minutes ago. The lady is religious, so she and her husband do not work (but do praying), neither search any work. They have 12 children, and the whole family lives on social support. Now what's the problem? She came on my door, telling me how poor they are, they have 12 kids and they are hungry, and she asked for some money. My neighbour who understands this native language, told her to get away and she left. I was latter by translation told what she wanted. I feel puzzled now. There are at least two sides. 1 - Children are Your responsibility, so have them as many you can afford and no more (that is why I at 28 do not yet have them), otherwise - adoption, 2 - Children are not guilty, but hungry and do not understand. So what to do? How to decide? Next time to give her money and she will come for more (I am student with scholarship in foreign country) or be rude as my neighbour and tell her to get away (don't feel like to do so)?

When I got married my sister in law gave us a bare branch sticking out of a pot and a card. The card read " This is a magic tree every 5th of the month this tree will grow a $100 bill for the next 6 months" She later explained that she was going to give us $100 bucks every month for 6 months...... That was seven years ago, Is it rude for me to call her and ask her for the money ?

I mean in terms of having the same freedom, not being afraid of him, being represented in society/public the same way as he is, doing the same things as he can (e.g. extreme sports, decision-making, policy-making), etc. If not so, why not, where do you feel constraints? Can you improve your role? Or are your hands locked?

I am really fed up with my neighbours. They are noisy at night, very untidy and have a dog they never walk but let it bark all the time. They have taken to hanging their washing over the railings at the front of their house which makes the place look like a gipsy camp. When I got home from work yesterday evening they had put their clothes over the rail which seperates the front of my house from the front of theirs. As the clothes were closer to my front door than theirs, it looked like they belonged to me. I wanted to nip this in the bud but they werent in at the time for me to talk to them so being fairly pissed off with them for a number of reasons I took a bunch of lillies and shook the pollen on the clothes that were on my side of the railings. My friend says that was a really evil thing to do but I was really mad. What would you have done in my situation?

I know that there are some occasions where you might stub your toe or get hit by a plywood and you just blurt out a random word, which usually ends up being a profanity, but why swear in other context? I mean, it doesn't really accomplish anything. Take any sentence and with a couple of ****ing swearword, it ****ing becomes a piece of ****.
In my opinion, it gives the speaker a sense of mental incapability, as he or she tries to make a sentence simply longer by adding swear words. I don't see it accomplishing anything, so why swear?

On the spur-of-the-moment, I promised my fourth-grader and my six-year-old daughters that they could have a Halloween party at our house. The fourth-grader is OK (she's inviting four friends), but I'm having problems with the six-year-old's guest list. She wants to invite three friends. One six-year-old boy says he can't come unless I invite his older sister. One five-year-old says she won't come unless I invite her little brother. The other five-year-old has two younger siblings, and I haven't heard from her yet. To tell the truth, I'm not very good friends with any of their mothers, and I don't want to have to entertain whole families. But my daughter is really looking forward to it.

I can't have that many kids in the house at one time. Do I suck it up and have a different pre-school party on another date? Or do I disappoint my daughter, and just say no to all the madness?

is it offensive to refer to people as high maintence? One person told me that it would be more polite to refer to people as high maintence and another person told me that it's not nice to refer to people as high maintence.

The person who said that it's more polite to refer the highly sophisticated people as high maintence is a high maintence person herself and another person told me that it's not nice to refer to people as high maintence isn't a high maintence person.
