I have a co-worker that always has to see what I'm eating -like actually strain to see if it's not in plain site, like in a bowl or container- and then also ASKS what it is.
This is an everyday thing and she does it to a lot of people. She has her own lunch so I don't think that is the issue.

She thinks I'm being overly sensitive when I've asked her to mind her business but isn't this rude and obnoxious?
It's not that it comes up in casual conversation, it's as if she is taking some sort of mental survey of the food we eat!

It is sad what the families have to go through.

These climbers were warned by Mother Nature, Weather Forecasters, and should know the history and the time they were to go out there that there is risk and peril. Who pays for this ignorance, and should we feel sorry for them? Isn't it almost like a mission of suicide if you don't go prepared knowing the risks?

I'm not sure if I want to go bc i don't know who i will talk to and i don't want to end up sitting all alone. I talk to people while i'm at work but since everyone will be together i think they might talk to someone they know better.

Why do people instantly slam other peoples' opinions? Someone might make a comment, expressing their opinion, on a subject such as homosexuality... Before you know it people are jumping on the guy's case saying stuff along the lines of "We are allowed to express our own opinions so keep it to yourself!" Am I the only one who finds this rediculous?

Why is it socially acceptable to comment on how skinny a very thin, perhaps underweight, person is, but never for an overweight person? For example, you would never say to an overweight person, "Do you eat a lot?" Or, "You need to lose weight, eat less!" But to thin people, who might be considered underweight, they get comments like "Oh, you're so thin! Do you eat?" Or "You need to eat more, you're too skinny" Or"You don't have an eating disorder, do you/" I think to both it's rude and inappropriate and out of line. Skinny people who struggle with being too thin are just as self-conscious about their bodies and their thinness as people who struggle with their being overweight are. Why can't people realize this? By the way, I am basing this question on personal experience---yes, I am thin and struggle with being too thin---I just feel like telling people to get over it and stop making it seem like it's such a big dea

Besides moving to a house of course (I don't have the funds right now.)I have various techniques. Talk to them. If that doesn't work, mention it to the office (there isn't a whole lot they can do apparently), and calling the police (last resort). We are the best neighbors. We never make any noise. No loud bangs, no door slamming, and no loud music. we are very conscious about not making noise. And we don't resort to retaliation when we hear crazy noise. We try to be good Christians. Why can't others be more respectful? What is wrong with society? This stuff really makes me dislike this world.

A friend and I are cooperating on making gifts for our 6 coworkers. We were planning on making the flower pot pen holder craft. My coworker thinks this would be more expensive than giving an assortment of baked goods. We only have one evening to make the gifts. Which of these is the best idea? Do you have any other suggestions? P.S. we work in a school

I'm moving 2 bedrooms, living room, and dining room worth of stuff. What do you think the appropriate tip amount is?
Also do I tip the guys picking up the stuff, or dropping off the stuff? I would think you don't tip till the job is done.

I realize the gift certificates would be really for both of us, but I'm promising my time and future dates! Also, I plan to make a creative "book" of short letters and tape the gift certificates throughout. Would a 47 year old guy like this as a gift, with some warm Wigwam socks, and a Nalgene bottle full of Power Bars? (We're training for a half marathon).

I hear a lot of parents complain about what is shown on television, how degrading and how violent it is. Many of these parents beging to write letters and form organizations to ban such material but what I was thinking was, do they ever stop and try to actually use these new parental controls that are available in most new televisions. I have an old television that I bought in 2002, yet it has a parental V-Chip with password protection and I can set it to where it would block anything rated Teen and above. This is technology is not new and has been out for a while, it has been refined and redone, but why do parents still try to complain about what the television shows. It is very simple, block the content, put a password and go on with your life. Is that really too hard?
