The teacher sent me to the principals office and they were talking about detention or even suspending me for a drawing I made. The teacher gave us an assigment to draw the perfect family. I had the guy sitting in a chair and his wife on all fours, the guy had his legs up on her like a stool and she was scrubbing the floor. They didn't think it was funny, but hey the assigment was what the perfect family would be, according to each individual, stupid haters.

In the Pink Floyd song, "The Wall", at the end you hear a man yelling at a child "If you don't eat your meat, ya can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding, if you don't eat your meat?". I pose the question, Why can't you have a pudding regardless of the eating of meat?

I made a new friend and I am pretty sure that soon he's going to tell me that he is blind in one eye. He tells all his friends, but the thing is that I already know. Someone leaked it out. So how do I respond when he tells me this? What is the proper etiquette?

They end up with violent sh*tbags who get them preggers and then, when they're 40-ish, they expect really nice, gentle blokes to put up with their kids and their paranoia. Well, basically I'm not putting up with someone's used goods so if you want someone decent to marry, hold on to your virginity now!

I have found an entertaining response to bullying to be snappy comebacks. My son is skinny, pale and English in a country of dark skinned people so he gets some bullying for it. My son is naturally funny but help him out with some cool comebacks to these kinds of attacks. Its the way HE wants to deal with it. Turning the table and making the onlookers laugh with a good comeback is a very cool way to deal with people who would make you the butt of a joke. Help out my lad please.

bother you when they focus on your mis-spelling instead of your question? Especially when it's worded in an insulting way? I think it's rude.

If a man and a woman meet, they do not know each other very well.
Who should be the first one to reach the hand out for shaking, the man or the woman?
And how many times do you shake hands?

I am attending a formal Christmas holiday celebration and the invitation says to bring a minimum $25 unisex wrapped gift for a game (I'm thinking on the lines of Dirty Santa). I'm totally clueless about what I should get! Any ideas? I'm trying to avoid the old gift card thing. Thanks!

Quite often I feel uncomfortable kissing people hello (like work people or people I dont know well) and I often dread them lurching towards me when we meet. I dont mind kissing family and close friends but others not so much... Do you feel like this? What do you do when you meet up with people you dont know so well? the kiss? the handshake?? what??

Ok, heres the deal, my mother has everything that you can think of, she don't ask for anything or even hint at anything for that matter, the only thing that she collects is candle holders, but if you seen her house you wouldn't get her anymore..

I have to do a PowerPoint presentation for my college course and thought I’d try something different. Do you think it would be distracting or inappropriate to have beautiful nature photos as the background for my presentation??

I went to a football game-the Army/Navy game to be exact and even though there were a lot of male cadets-and I mean a lot, none of them hit on me-and I know I'm not ugly. Half of the time I couldn' t stare at them in the eye because I didn't want them to think I was some naive chick and think I was too deperate. Well, why even though so many males around-I mean a lot, not even one came up to me, or did anything to make notice him-to show a sing of interest? I looked cute, and I wasn't sleezy either.

Sounds like a crazy question, but here's the situation.

You're at a party and there is Brie Cheese. Obviously you don't eat the rind, but the cheese is presented like a big slice rind and all at the buffet. Do you

a) Cut off the piece you want and do the rind dissection on your own plate.

Or

b) Gouge out the cheese you want at the buffet table with the given utensil.

I guess I should rephrase. I dont care what the average neanderthal would do that the office drunkfest, but I mean what is the PROPER thing to do at a civilized gathering.

I work in customer service within a professional environment. This means that it's my JOB to be NICE to people, regardless of whether I actually like them or not. However, sometimes men perceive this as an invitation to hit on me. I don't have a boyfriend and am not interested in meeting men at work, so how do I tell them in a courteous manner that I don't appreciate their attempts??? I am shocked at the number of old men who do this!!!!!
