Hi, I'm taking my first trip to India to visit a friend who will be busy with wedding preparations. I want to travel around doing day trips but I don't know any Indian languages. I only speak English and although I'm not Caucasian, I'm sure I'll stick out as being a foreigner. My guy friend who is Indian says it's no problem for me to travel alone but a female friend says it would be weird. Any advice? I'll be around Pune.

I'm going to see the Nutcracker ballet tomorrow night. I think black pants and a nice shirt would be appropriate for a woman...Should I go with a nice dress or is the former alright? Thanks!

OK, so I was eating lunch in my university dining hall today, and while I was eating, a girl at a nearby table shouted randomly, "Holy sh*t!" (just due to a conversation), two times in a row. I don't find it polite at all when someone curses loudly in public, so I decided to retaliate by turning around, giving her the finger and mouthing "**** you!" to her several times. Although she didn't do or say anything to me, I'm pretty sure she saw me; I mean, I HOPE she saw me because she deserved it. It disrupted my meal and stuff. Having said that, I can't help but wonder if what I did was "wrong" or if I overreacted a bit? That's certainly not the first time I've heard someone curse in public, but I today I just happened to be in the mood to retaliate. I'll admit I do have an anger problem, so that plays a big role. But still, was I overreacting? I'm not sure how I should feel about it.

Hi! I have a "no soliciting" sign at my door, but the religious people don't seem to get it. They just keep knocking again and again. Any suggestion on what I can put at the door to keep them away? Does "no soliciting" only implies salesperson?

Help! I love my friend dearly but when she orders her food at a restaurant, she has soo many demands! An example: "I'll have the asian salad, no onion, no oranges, extra dressing, extra wontons, tossed and the lettuce extra clean". I find it insulting to the restaurant and demanding and I don't know what to say to her and I don't want to stop eating out with her. PLEASE help! I have lunch with her every Monday and I don't want to hurt her feelings. Thanks!

I did today, I bought a really cute cake tin for a friend but I've decided I like it too much to give away. Am I being very selfish? I could buy another one for her, but the rest are different patterns and not as nice as mine...

I have experienced and absolutely hate the following:
-people interrupting our conversation to take a call that ends up lasting like an hour
-people talking on their cell phone in stores, and holding up the line at the register because they aren't paying attention to the cashier as they are on the phone.
-moronic drivers causing accidents or near accidents because on the phone.
-I used to be a hairdresser, and when working on commission time=money and people would make me stop what I was doing to answer their phone
-My boss (a lawyer) provided his cell phone number to a client due to an emergent situation over a weekend, now that client phones on the cell at all hours and for any reason whatsoever.
-People calling your cell before your land line


What do you hate about cell phones?

Sometimes during an IM conversation with someone, another friend will come on. With the telephone, you say "Hold on a second, I've got another call." But on IM, what are you supposed to do. Isn't it an insult when your friend comes on and you agnore him? But wouldn't it also be an insult to the one you're talking to if you say something like, "Another friend just came on. I'd rather talk to them. See ya."?

By the way, I can't have more than one conversation going at one time. I have ADD and can't concentrate well enough to do that, as it gets too distracting. Plus I think it's rude.

So here is the scenario, I call my friend on my cell phone, we are chatting away, suddenly one of our phones drops the other. He calls me back at the same time and we either get a busy signal or voicemail. How do you know who calls who back, how long should you wait before trying their phone? Silly question I know, but it drives me CRAZY! :-)

I work in a law office and phone plenty of people everyday. Today I received a call that went like this:

Caller: "WHO IS THIS?"
Me: This is ___ at ____law offices.
Caller: Why did you call me?
Me: I'm sorry, who are you calling for?
Caller: This number is on my caller ID, you called two hours ago, why did you call me?
Me: I'm sorry, what is your name, then I may know why we called.
Caller: Forget that...you don't know who you've been calling? Why did you call me, how can you just call a number and not know why you called.

And so on and so on...and prior to them hanging up they instructed me never to call them again...lol.

Has this ever happened to you? Or do you ever call back unknown numbers on your caller ID?

She is always late dropping her off and picking up, she's always late paying me and when she does she post dates the cheque for 5 days later. And expects me to babysit both kids on extra days outside of our arrangement.

My office is having their annual holiday party in the office this year. We are catering lunch and we have been asked to come up with ideas to make the event more fun and enjoyable. We're about 60 employees and not everybody interacts much with one another on a regular basis. We need ideas that will make the party fun without getting out of line. Unfortunately, drinking is out of the question since the party is a luncheon and we have to continue with our regular work day afterwards.

Hi there, I live in an apartment with wood floors, the floor (neighbor's ceiling) is very thin and it is really a huge problem because every little sound transfer through it to the neighbor, I pretty much need to walk in my tip toes to try to not make noise during the nights but it doesn't work.

If I go to the bathroom she hears it, if I walk she hears it , if I turn on my computer she hears it and finally yesterday she got really mad and told me to shut up or else. I really don't know what I can possibly do, the landlord advertised her apartment as "very quiet" and we knew it was a lie, the apartment downstairs is unlivable because no matter what I do she will hear it, I cannot fly about my apartment and I can't adjust my life around her schedule, I live here too, it is really not my fault the floor is so thin. Anyways, how can I address this issue?, I think my neighbor and I need to have a talk but I really don't know if she will believe I am not trying to make noise.
