When a bare faced liar tries to get you to lie because you don't, asking you a lying question you both know the answer to and you ... ' LIE ' ... blatantly, right in his face? And you both know it??!! Oh that's so fun! Well, beats flushing 'em down the toilet, I think.

There is an older man(late 50's-mid 60's) at my workplace who is too chivalrous in my opinion. For example, he tries to assist young women to the point where they cannot get their work done, makes them look incapable of their jobs, or just plain aggravates them. I know he's just trying to be a gentleman. But he doesn't seem to get it when those women say they are fine and don't need assistance, and he pushes it harder even after a complaint is filed. How should I, as a fellow employee, deal with him?

can someone please tell me the point in handguns/pistols other than killing other people? And why would anyone ever want to potentially have that burden of responsibility and own one?

Why should I miss out on a seat on the plane because a fatty needs two of them?! Why should I move aside for them on the pavement?! Rubbish.

K so i dated this one boy the first 7 weeks of schooland always hung out with the boys on his floor above me so we all because great friends. Me and my boyfriend had a falling out and because i hve been so used to hanging out with this floor of guys i kept hanging out with them.

Don't get me wrong i am a good girl i keep my pants on, I just have this thing about kissing I love it. So I am constantly hanging out with these adorable guys and it would aways lead 2 me playfully making out with one of another.

So I have kissed about 5 boys including my x-boyfriend and I think they might be getting the wrong impression. I really like one of them but I think i ruinoned it because of this fact...guys talk.

I love hanging out with that floor there so much fun, but should I cool it and maybe stay off it 4 a week or so, let things fly over? think i have a chance still 2 date a boy on the floor? do u think they R messin with me?

Last night I was waiting on a table of four senior citizens. I work in a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant where everything is old-school. I have to add my own tabs and figure out the tax, etc... SO, the house rules are that one table gets one tab. Period. No exceptions. Says so right on the menu.These people had four dinners that were VERY close in price, four waters, and OF COURSE, TWO ten dollar coupons. When I told this table we don't do separate tabs, the one old man threw a temper tantrum. He wanted to leave. I think he may have actually crapped in his Depends. I was shocked at the public display of sheer rage. I almost started laughing, I thought "Leave, I don't care", but I just told him that I didn't have time to keep explaining, it was very busy, and I wanted to spend some time with my customers that are actually nice to me. What gives? Why is separate tabs such a HUGE deal...Especially when it's such a simple one to figure out?

He never buys food for himself, he's always picking at everyone's snacks or lunch. I dont like to share my food, especially if someone's just snatches fries off my plate. What's a nice way of telling him to buy his own lunch and snacks??

You have won untold wealth and can afford homes all over, charity contributions but one person to employ for your help. I would choose a chauffeur as I cant drive, and have him/her at my beck and call taking me and my dog wherever I wish to go.

Not had holiday in many a year cos no one likes having dogs in cars...so that would solve my problem.

What bout you?

Crimes against children have to be the worst crime to commit in society! I dont understand how a person could molest a child, take away (no steal) the innocence of one and then go home to his or her own family at night. I dont understand how someone could commit incestuous acts with their sons and daughters and then pass it off as genuine love. A so called expression of familial ties. How do you feel about this? Also the men and women that murder their own children or beat them half to death, what causes people to be so evil, to make them treat a fellow human being so cruelly? Is it an inborn evil or a sickness that remained dormant and strikes them at the most inoppurtune time?!!

I actually went to a dermatologist at a big hospital and the doctor had a student doctor who came in to see first. I came in cause I had a mole on the tip of my penis and she took my info and asked me to get undressed and to wear a gown. Well then she came back in a few minutes, and I was sitting on the patient table with my robe on. This girl was so beautiful. I couldnt believe how young and pretty and slim she was. Anyway, she asked me to go ahead and disrobe (it didnt make any sense to wear it in the first place) and there I was sitting there naked in front of her. At first I was just a little inch which was a little embarrassing but as she put her rubber gloves on and I looked at her, my penis starting growng bigger and she definetly saw it, and I was rock hard at 3.5 inches. She kind of smiled but didnt say anything as she looked at the mole but the problem was I never came down. I was nude for 10 minutes like that and my erection was rock hard. Was this inappropriate. I cant tell

3 weeks ago we picked up our son from preschool and his jacket was missing -- the teachers didn't have any idea that it was even gone. We were given explanations that he probably left it on the playground, and questioned if we were sure he had brought one. It was 50˚ that day! We repeatedly asked about it, something we were not going to let slip by, but it seemed to have disappeared and looked as though we were not going to get it back.

Today I saw another child wearing it when I dropped my son off. What should I do? If another parent made a mistake then that's one thing, but c'mon -- you KNOW what clothes are your child's and what clothes aren't. As a responsible adult wouldn't you notice that it didn't belong to you and return it to the teachers?

My question is this: Is it appropriate for me to take it back?
