Sometimes I'll be running errands and walking across the parking lot when from the other direction a guy walks towards you and not sure if they know subconciously that they are doing it, but they grab their package to shift around inside their underwear. Or earlier today, I was shoe shopping and this guy stood not too far away from me, ripped a loud, long, smelly fart in front of a lady and drifted away like nothing happened!! Why do some guys do this? If you guys are doing this to be cool or to get ladies attention, you're wrong!!

Ok, so my dad lives 45 minutes away and he's getting ready to move about 10 minutes away from where he currently lives. He lives alone and doesn't have a lot of help to move. He asked me and my husband to come help him move but its on halloween on a tuesday and my kiddos will be in school and I was supposed to help with the class party in my 1st graders class. Plus my dh will be at work. Should I feel guilty if we can't/don't drive out there to help? He enlisted the help of my brother who doesn't have children and lives closer but they're both making me feel VERY guilty in their passive aggressive way. HELP!

This is a strange observation but... I am white and have noticed, at work, in retail and customer service, that the one clean cut African- American guy that works with me gets treated like **** by other African-Americans. The same customer would not talk to me that way... Why is this?? I have never seen anything like it. It happens on a daily basis...

My friend has a Chrysler 300 fully loaded and on my way out to the parking lot to get my keys out of his car I realize just how F’d up I am. Well I find his car and climb in on the passenger side and barf my guts up on the driver seat, floor and console. Just like that, out of now where, if I expected it I would have hit the parking lot. So to hide my crime I throw a rock through the driver side window in hopes that it will look like someone broke in to barf in his car.(yeah that’s believable) Well I go back inside and give him his keys and keep my yapper shut, jump in a cab and head home. Well turns out that he took a cab home to because he was F’d up and someone ended up steeling his car. I don’t know who it is worse for, my friend getting his car stolen or the idiot that sat in my barf. Anyway I have not and will not say a word. Do they do DNA testing on barf? And if so do I have to barf in a cup?

Two Part Question: (I work in a retail store for a major cell phone company) 1) Why do people come into my store and ask where a competitor is located? Would you go to the Ford dealership and ask for directions to Nissan?? 2) How can people be so incredibly RUDE to a perfect stranger and/or someone who is not the source of their problem? Would you walk up to some random person on the street and hand them their A$$ b/c your water bill is too high even though YOU were the one who watered your grass all night, every night, for a month and took two showers per day?

especially teachers when teaching children. Surely facial expression is everything as it can convey a lot more than speaking at times. I think that some children are being discriminated against by the wearing of the veil as they can feel initmidated by the veil. What are your views. This is Not I repeat is Not a rascist question. Just one for the common sense brigade.

the stingrays took steve irwin from us. it was a terrible tragedy. we thought it was an isolated incident.

...

WE WERE WRONG.

earlier today, in Lighthouse Point, Florida, 81-year old James Bertakis was boating with his family, when suddenly, a stingray LEAPED FROM THE WATER onto his boat. perplexed, he turned to the stingray to see if it needed help, or perhaps directions. and without provocation, it attacked viciously. the barb pierced poor James's chest, leaving him with a collapsed lung.

i dont know what we did to the stingrays. i dont know where we went wrong. but i can tell you this: these are not isolated incidents. this is a war. a slaughter. an attack.

and it's only beginning.

so, i'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to the stingrays, on behalf of mankind.

we're sorry.

we just wanna swim.

just like you.

Or do people come up to you and ask you questions, assuming that you work there. It has happened to me on occasion. One time I was at Kroger looking at the lunch meats and an elderly lady started to ask me something, and then said, "Oh, do you work here?" I was wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans--not sure what made her think that, but I'm sure something did.

So, has something like this ever happened to you?

I have always been bad at comebacks. I can never think on the spot. I always stew and think of good responces hours after the fact. Can you think of something to say back to this.

You look like your Italian!!

I know it doesnt seem like an insult. My boyfriend is not the same as me, heritage wise and when I am introduced to girls from his culture, they always say this to me. I do not know how to respond. I know they do not mean it in a nice way from their tone of voice. If I say "No, I don't", it sounds like I do not think its good to be Italian. If I say "thank you", it seems I am trying to be something I am not. How can I respond?

I have been in Orlando now for about 2yrs and I haven't really made any friends. I was wondering, is it just me or is anyone else having this same problem? I don’t know where to go exactly. I have tried school (two colleges) and church. I’m a bit lost. I don’t really have too many "hobbies", I like to do a lot of things, plus I like to try most new things. I’m 26. So some things may not be for me i.e. shuffle board. lol I work in an office by my self, so no work friends. Meeting friends at a club or gym? Well I really dont want to come off like Im hitting on them. Well I hope someone has something, Im almost at my wits end. Im open minded and a nice person I just dont know where to meet some new, preferably girl, friends. (As not to upset my boyfriend, not that he would mind just trying to avoid problems.) I also hope to see some people from Orlando answer. Thanks guys! :)

I asked a legitimate question, and somebody responded with "R U guys stupid or what?" I wasn't really offended by this but I reported them for abuse out of spite. I just hate it when somebody takes the time to answer a question, but they don't offer anything in their answer. What happens when somebody is "reported"?

i do it in the grocery store while im shopping but as soon as i check out i hang up.
i work in a high end boutique, and while the women who shop there do have money, i dont think they have manners.
they chat on their phones the whole time, and also expect 100% attention from me.
i wave hello and then ignore them until they are done.
is that wrong? cause they ignore me!

Everywhere I look I see young thirteen year olds wearing next to nothing, dancing like the video ho's they see on t.v. an dbehaving completely disgusting for their age. At thirteen they should be playing with barbies and boys should be building forts( thats a little lame, but still!) I mean what is the rush to grow up? i dont understand it. They could care less about sexual diseases and pregnancy1 i know a girl that is pregnant at fifteen! It breaks my heart to see little year girls try to act like grown women and even take it as far as lying about their ages! Is it uncool now for girls to hold onto their innocence until they are at least of age? My gosh, its disheartening. How do you feel about this. No rude answers please.
