I don't mean the ones who respond to racist, sexist or bigoted comments or rude, obnoxious answers - I mean the ones who answer the question by saying "why should I answer that question" or "does it matter" or "what the fcuk you talking about" etc. Surely it would be easier to not answer the question if you don't have a valid contribution to make.

I got Whitman's chocolate as a gift from a friend ... we are in our late 20's ... come on now. ... couldn't he at least spend the extra $2 and get Russel Stovers or something...

Last time I saw Whitman's chocolate was 20 years ago at my grandparent's house.

Do you all agree Whitman's is for the elderly and the cheap?

The entire office staff (it's a small company - maybe 30 people) and their spouses are all invited to my boss' house tonight for a party. It was sort of last minute (about a week's notice) and the invitation says not to bring any food or drink, as they have it covered. However, as I was talking to others in the office, we feel bad going to someone's house and not bringing anything at all. I need some suggestions on what to bring!

Am I wrong for thinking that it is rude to be sendingand reciveing text's messages when you are in the company of others? To me it means that clearly they would rather be in the company of the person or persons whom they are texting. or am I over reacting and in the modern age this should be accepted?

We are housemates and going to the same university. Soon we will be graduating. Before graduating we will be going for our industrial training which will be on April next year, anyway I will not be seeing him anymore. Therefore I have no choice to stay with him for a couple of months more. I can't move at this moment for good reasons, because we only will be seeing each other for 2 more months, but I can't be patient anymore

My boyfriend is with his family for the holidays in another state. We didn't plan on talking and neither of us has called, except to say Merry Christmas. Is this normal, or do we not care about each other?

I have lived in my residential neighborhood for 5 years now. As with all neighborhoods, people move in and people move out. Recently, some new neighbors moved in that are extremely noisy, but especially late (3am) at night. I'm assuming they go out and party because this seems to happen almost regularly now on certain nights of the week. When they get home, they hang out outside and before they crew of them leave, they unnecessarily rev up their loud Redneck Diesel Trucks as if its a way to be macho and cool. But actually they are just being immature drunks. What should I do? If it wakes me and wife up, it must be affecting others, and possibly young children in our neighborhood too.

I mean they are nice and all but after a few hundred it is seems a little ridiculous especially when they send such a personal and heartfelt email to 20 people. when email was new this may have been a cool fad. but isn't this fad over yet? do they really mean it or do they just think it is nice? is it rude not to send the thing back i mean do they really want 20 people sending it back?

He's a RELIGIOUS FANATIC person, always assume he's right all the times, never accept opinions and mistakes, he thought that we crave and crazy for his best relatioship which he thinks he's the only one can provide but he never offer his good friendship, he's hypocrite and pretending that he cares, he thought that we're miserable at all the times by telling that "u may say that I'm wrong but can't lie to God", he used to predict what people feel without knowing the truth and facts, he always thought that someone's imitating him and competing with him, he always wanted to be the winner for any situations without considering his mistakes, he spots others' mistakes most of the time, he judges others, he thought that he's an ANGEL and we're the devil, he thought that he knows everything, he thought that he's precious, when we care he said we're ruining his privacy, when we're too good he said we shouldn't have, he pretends to forget about the past by abiding to the bible, he's a pyschopet!

A friend of mine had broken up with her boyfriend because he cheated on her. About two weeks later she got back with him against my advise. Well I went to him and we talked and he told me he loved her and it was a mistake. Just two days later though I walked with her to his house and we caught him in his front room on the couch with another girl! Long story short they started arguing she started crying and I lost it and kicked him in the head pretty hard then walked her home. But later I found out that when he fell he hit his ribs on the coffie table and broke some. I didn't mean to put him in the hospital and now I feel bad... Should I or did he deserve it?

It's like its too much of an effort for them to treat women as human beings and their manners are reserved for the prettiest girl in the room. Every one else is either harassed ohysically or verbally or completely ignored.

I lost my credit card downtown around bar time about a month ago and a college student picked it up. (I'm a recent college graduate.) He contacted me about it via FACEBOOK (can you believe it) and, when I e-mailed him requesting that he please drop it off at the university union's information desk (or any desk anywhere so I could get it when I had time), he replied, "Call me," and gave his phone number.

I did call, though I thought it was completely unnecessary to do so. He never called back. He's had my credit card for weeks now and, since winter break just started, has probably left town and won't be back for another month.

What is wrong with people? I'm traveling this month and need a credit card. What is so difficult about dropping a card off somewhere safe and e-mailing the owner? I was so fed up I called the company and had them cancel the account and open a new one.

I recently got the bright idea to spray paint my cars old plastic wheel covers with silver paint. (By the way, it worked great.) But on to my question...I went to one of our famous department stores to purchase the paint and while checking out the cashier very loudly said "You aren't going to huff this are you?" I was shocked and said "Excuse me." She repeated the question even louder prompting looks from everyone in line behind me and people from four aisles down. Embarressed to death I just said "Of course not. I'm painting my hubcaps because they look horrible." First of all, I didn't realize Wal-mart cashiers were the paint police but I was absolutely humiliated (some of the people were even aquaintances of mine.) What would your response be to such a question?

Do you think that Joe/Jane Public is losing their basic civility? I am so tired of inconsiderate, self-centered, people acting ignorant of basic common courtesy. So much so that I sometimes feel myself de-evolving into the same behavior. :(

My friend and I are having a debate.

She states that "free willingly" isn't proper english and i would like to know why, despite the fact that it is often used.

Also what are some other commonly used phrases that are considered improper.
