Why do people drive with fog lights on during NON-foggy days/nights? Besides blinding the other drivers (or seeing thru fog) what useful purpose are they? Do some people think it looks cool? Do you think it looks stupid too, cause I don't get it!

I got my eyebrows waxed at the shop next door to my new work. While she was doing it I didnt say much, she looked in a bad mood plus she was late for my appointment and she wasnt with a customer b4 me, after she finished and i paid i left but had to go back in for something, and i couldnt see her but i could hear her talking to someone about me. They were trying to work out where i worked cos i didnt say exactly where, and then i heard her say i was weird cos i didnt talk much. Then when she came back out and saw me she tried to act all nice. Now I dont know what to do next time i run into her outside my work.

We don't have 13th floors, the number 13 is actually a PHOBIA to some. What's the deal? How did it start?

I want to know what you think. Do you think that honesty is always the best policy. Even when it's at others expence? Do you care how other people feel? Or do you say whatever you want and worry about he repercussions later, or not at all? What ever happined to "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all?" Thats what I was taught. I personally think that people should think before they speak. Most things are better left unsaid.... Just my two sence for the night,

The last think I want to hear is that smoking is bad for me, or even worse when people list a number of diseases I am now more prone to. No offense, but if I wanted to absorb that information i would look at the box

Why do people who have only known you for 3 minutes ask you where you are from and need to know what side of town you live on? Never mind you haven't even invited them over so why would they even need to know? Why do bigots always have to put people in a box based on where they are from. And why do these same nosy people try to hide where they are from or avoid the question when asked themselves?


Should I in turn ask that person why they are an elitist segregationalist pig?

Every once in awhile I notice that I have a thumbs down on a perfectly reasonable answer, nothing contraversial or even questionable like "What color are your eyes" the answer-"Blue"... and then BAM! a thumbs down. Do people just go around and give thumbs down for no reason...just for fun.

I know it doesn't mean anything...I'm just curious and bored!

A saying about arguments: "The man should apologize, even when the woman is wrong."

In general, I agree with the saying for the more mundane arguments that men and women get into. When the man is wrong, he should apologize. Any man should have the strength of character to admit when he is wrong, and should apologize appropriately.

When the woman is clearly wrong, the man should still apologize. The man needs to allow the woman to gracefully exit the argument without making her feel stupid or belittled or ashamed. The woman should then accept his apology gracefully and not turn his apology into an opportunity to embarrass or ridicule him.

When it is not clear who is wrong, the man should still apologize. Again, after both have spoken their minds, the man should apologize for the argument. The woman should accept his apology gracefully.

Agree or disagree? Why? If a woman, do you find this offensive and patronizing?

My mother-in-law will invite family over for the holidays and has us bring all but the meat. After dinner she gets up from the table and goes to the living room to relax, expecting, and demanding, that the dishes get done and the food put away. I want to say no in such a way as to let her know that the hostess does the dishes and the food clean-up, and guests can offer to help should they want to. I am tired of being the one who has enough manners to do them.

Especially the female naughty bits? Women generally don't really do this (not really), but men have a gazillion names for the you-know-what. I just read a question from this one guy asking about the "growler". Ok people, let's hear it. What's your favorite name for both the male and female "thingys"?

I've always heard that most people in the south have more manners and are nicer than in the north. What are your experiences either living in the south or moving from one to the other?

I have aunts who I'd love to call on the phone.. However, I talk too long on the phone and so make the excuse each day that I don't have time to make these calls.

It's not just an excuse, tho. I do have alot to get down and it's easy to spend an hour on the phone with one person. I assume it's me, tho with some people (perhaps efficient friends who know me well) the conversations tend to end in a reasonable time (under 15 minutes.)

What skills can I learn for making good, connecting phone calls that leave neither party overwhelmed or undernourished? Is there basically a format or formula for doing this? I know there are people who stay in touch with many people by phone and these are people who get a lot done. What are their secrets? Do you touch certain topics always, do you limit yourself to a sentence or two, even for a good story? What is a good phone call story?
I have tried multiple headseats so that I could make calls while doing tasks, but no one I call likes them
