Do you ask her if she just pee-ed in her seat?
Do you ask her if her name is written on the chair?
Do you convince her the chair is "first butt first served"?
Do you tell her to payfor the chair?
What would you have done if you are in charge? :)

The other day my husband and I were suppossed to meet his parents and his aunt for breakfast. Well, we overslept and only have a half hour to get ourselves and the baby ready to go. My hair is oily and looks really dirty if I don't wash it, so I jumped in the shower. We were on time but my hair was still really wet. Is it better to go with dirty hair or wet hair?

There are so many politically correct bs rules in this society, one is that short people can talk about tall people but not vice versa, then short people get mad when you don't want to be asked your height all the time, as if people really enjoy repetitive questions. Like the girl in school who broke her leg and everyone asked her a 100 times how she broke it, no one likes repitition. Then they try and say "don't worry it's okay, or there are other tall people" I wonder can I say, "oh don't worry your short behind is wanted by every major circus, it's ok" but if you say that people pity the short guy? how about telling someone with zits do they feel better if there are other zit faced people in the room? would that be acceptable? Don't they know tall people are average and they are just really short? Does anyone know any short jokes? I do!

Stereotyping Midget: Do you play basketball?
Tall one: Do you play miniature golf?

In 2005, according to the CDC, TSS caused:
- 24,564 low level TSS (L-TSS) resulting in scaring of tissue.
- 12,056 cases of fertility impact / reproductive harm in women
- 1,564 deaths, with 603 of them even when tampons were used correctly.

So are women trying to be like men by using a product that completely hides their period instead of a much safer pad?
Why do smart women makes such a foolish, careless, risky decision?

You can't rely on the manufacturers to warn you - they make $$ selling them to you. This stuff is happening even with *correct* usage.

I know this girl who's really pretty and stuff, but she has pretty awful bad breath (I know because I sit next to her in class).
How can I let her know about it so that she can fix it, without being rude or humiliating her?

THE EMAIL: At 12.30pm, I mailed an unregistered envelope on 30th Sept 06 at your XXXXXXX branch. It's supposed to go to Seminole County, Florida. Up till today, my supplier in Florida hasn't received the documents yet. What's up? Does it take more than 10 days for airmail??

What's your perception? :)

Why do many men spit into the urinal before using it? I have witnessed this several times. A guy walks up to the urinal, spits in it, and then takes a piss. I don't get it.

APFFTA-(americans plese feel free to answer)I have rcieved unexpected vitriol in reply to my previous innocent questions.I have visited all around America and love it-especially the passion of the people.To give you a simple analogy of how I feel -its like going into a chinese restaurant -your going for a particular flavour and experience.At the risk of sounding racist I dont want to be served by a Brit ,Yank or Iraqi,just a chinese man.Its the ambience.However when I've left the chinky I'll go to the pub and love to chat with people from all nationalities with different points of view.Some of you have said the reason your on the USA owned british site is because the usa site is alittle boring.I dont know whether thats true but all Im suggesting is it would be nice if on occasion we could have a uk perspective only and perhaps usa answer only.I'm sure we could both learn especially as you yanks seem to be a lot more positive than.we areComments please but when i put PNA at the begining

This lady who comes to the computer lab at the library smells like human urine & kitty litter every day. I want to say something, but I don't want her to report me & I don't want anybody to watch while I say it & I don't wanna seem like a b*tch.

I've spent the last few months organising for my company to take part in a large corporate event. I've been writing press release, doing invitations, organising tote bags, seating etc. Now that the event is about to take place, I find that my boss wasn't even going to invite me along to the night.

He offered me tickets at the last second because another employee pulled out. I've done more to organise this event than anyone. Should I be offended that I was only offered someone else's secondhand tix, or am I just being a sook?

I'm not going by the way. Because I was only offered the tickets today, I'd already made plans for that night, so now I can't make it anyway!

What is up with mean old people? They are supposed to be in their Golden Years. No more work, kids are grown, do whatever they want whenever they want. So why then are they so grouchy?

I saw the following letter in Dear Abby today (October 9, 2006): http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/ titled "MOTHER OF BRIDE TAKES AIM AT GUESTS' FAULTY RESPONSE." It is about how several guests for a wedding did not RSVP, RSVP'd for additional persons not invited, or R.S.V.P'd after the deadline.

For my wedding, almost 1/2 my family did not RSVP. I called them to make sure they were coming, or I basically just counted them as coming whether they had told me they were coming or not. I ended up fine on food b/c I did this.

Do you R.S.V.P.? What is your experience with R.S.V.P.'s (for example, do you have a similar tale to tell)? Thanks for sharing :).
