Someone at your old job had spread lies about you behind your back to make you unpopular, insulted your family and made crank calls to your phone? And if you knew where they worked now? What would you do?

Mary Lou was standing in her kitchen one summer day, doing a little baking, when her grandson, Jimmy, came bursting through the door. "Grandma, Grandma!! What's the word for when one person sleeps on top of another person?", asked Jimmy. At first, Mary Lou froze in her tracks.....but then thought to herself, I better take care of this before my idiot son-in-law fouls it all up. Mary Lou smile d sweetly at her adorable grandson, and said, "Honey, it's called 'Sex'.....and".....but before she could finish, Jimmy shouted, "Thanks Grandma", and ran back out the door and up the street to his friends.



A couple of hours later, Jimmy reappeared at his Grandma's door. "Grandma, you were WRONG!!.......it's called a BUNKBED!!!"

"Oh, and by the way.....Tommy Anderson's mother wants to have a word with you!"

I have just been admitted to a college where there are ppl I never met before. They were all plain hello hi’s until an old date friend got admitted here… and he kinda related them all the stuffs I used to do before. Indeed I was brilliant in my studies, in sports and in some dance competitions. Girls used to like me a lot... but for now, ive got better things to do, like secure my future.


My present life, which was peaceful and ideal for study till now is being disturbed as Im having to handle a sudden burst of popularity. The ppl who never even talked to me are constantly trying to befriend with me in a compelling way. Also, others are frustrated and contrast v negatively in a most insinuating fashion.


I don’t wanna get involved with these new found friends nor mess up with the have-nots… As i said, i got better things to do. Im quite confused and uneasy. How to tackle this situation? Anyone around has ever been in such a situation? Please share your experience. Thanks!

After all, we don't invite them in when we get rid of it...so why should we have them around while we put it in? Also - if I were to have a piece of cake in my hand - people would most likely say it looked delicious. Take that same piece of cake, eat it, and finally poop it out and hold it in your hand and people will say GROSS. Why the double standard?

She asked me how my day was and I told her it did not go well, she started praying out loud on the sidewalk in front of people. She's a big person and I'm just little and she really had a grip on me.
She leaves me notes on my car windshield,in mailbox,re: praying,sends me little Christian gifts.
She is a really nice person and I don't want to be too abrupt, but must stop her from doing this as I am now trying to sneak away from my house without her seeing me..It's getting me all stressed out. I honestly don't know what to say, I have told her that I'm Atheist, she doesn't care..guess she's trying to save me...What would you do???

I've noticed alot of times the person doesn't choose a best answer so do they ask questions just to ask or do they even read the answers sometimes I spend alot of time researching a question and then it seems the person didn't even look at the answers. Did you know you get 3 points for choosing best answer?

I don't mean to offend, but I get really sick of the tired old direct sales tactic- send out a cutsie and personalized invitation to someone's house so you can give them your money for crap you don't want. Just in the last month I've been "invited" to parties for Mary Kay, Pampered Chief, Layers, a Sleepover party, Cookie Lee and Usborne books. I think they're all overpriced and a waste of time I could be spending with my hubby when he gets home from work. If I don't buy, I feel guilty. If I do, I end up feeling lide I paid too much for a product I could buy at Target (except Usborne, I think they have a good product.) I don't think it's right for people to depend on their friends and neighbors for an income, whether large or small.. What's your opinion?

I have noticed quite a few question on here about race and people get so upset... people tend to think that the people are asking the questions to be mean but some of us are not --either we don't know or we are just stupid on the subject I guess. I really don't think I would get offended if someone asked questions about why do blondes.... or why do white people...-- what is the reason you get so upset about racial questions and if you are going to be rude in your reply why even reply at all?

I asked this question in another section and didn't get many answers, so I'll present it again here, since this one seems to get more traffic.

To make it short, what do you think of a man who has a cat(s) for a pet(s)? The other day, I was reading through one of those supposed-to-be-humorous "Rules For Men" lists, one of the ones that say things like "If you've known another guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits" and "You can complain about the temperature of the beer in a buddy's fridge, but not the brand." Well, the one I read had a rule that said "A man should NEVER own a cat for a pet."

Sounds silly to me. First of all, a lot of women have dogs. Second of all, what is so wrong with a man having a cat for a pet? I think that all these rules people come up with are silly.

I really don't have the extra cash to buy so many people presents this year like I have in the past. Would it be tacky to tell them ahead of time I simply won't be buying them a present, and I don't expect one in return?

this has been bothering me for some time. I do not want to brag but I am financially lucky. My point is my friend has been living at my house (he is in a situation, he put himself there, though) for more than a month, and has not contributed a time. NOTHING! No toiletries, etc.

Since I am financially lucky is it rude for me to think it is wrong for him not to contribute or is it morally my duty to allow him/help him?

Please help I am confused on the RIGHT way to handle this situation.

Thank you so much!

I hate shaking hands. It's not a germ thing - I just don't like being obligated to touch strangers. I avoid it if I can but I wouldn't so no to a handshake because people seem so put off by a refusal. Any suggestions on how I can refuse a handshake in a polite way? And no, I will not move to China.
