and she feels like its ok to do it. A lot of her co-workers are getting disgusted with her. We just dont know how to tell her. This person is intellectual, god-fearing, she is just a beautiful person and well respected by her colleagues(except for this incident). How do we approach her without offending her?

I think it might make our point more clear if we just don't 'go there.' Things like idiot, stupid, moron and the like are totally immature and innapropriate forms of dialogue.

When you do nice things for someone simply because you care about them a lot and want to help them out, is it wrong to feel hurt when you don't hear a "thank you" or "I appreciate what you do for me" occasionally?

I've been told that appreciation should go without saying and that it's selfish to expect a "thank you" (or another form of communicated appreciation) after doing nice things and being there for somone. I've been told that if I expect appreciation, I'm doing something for that person because I expect something in return - appreciation. In my mind, I'm doing it because I care, not to get appreciation, but when I don't get an occasional "thank you" or "I appreciate what you do for me", I feel taken for granted and walked all over.

I need help. Thanks!

How do you get guests to take off their shoes in your house? How do you let guests know about the shoes off rule before they arrive?

Since I've lived in my house for 2 years Ive had the same mailman. My mail is always in my box by 11 am. He hasnt delivered the mail in 2 days and the man who covers for him doesnt get here until 3 pm.Its the same guy who always covers for him when hes not working. Which is rarely. I know it makes no difference but can you give him a tip or something to show that you appreciate him delivering your mail and even bringing it to the door sometimes?
I tip the paper boy every christmas. Or do people not do that

Is it really the thought (and nothing more) that counts?

I started thinking about this topic when I started receiving several unwanted gift magazine subscriptions in the mail. I mean, sure, the thought was nice and is appreciated but now I'm stuck getting these magazines that I have no desire for, for the next year. I wondered if I should just be grateful for the thought they put into it even though it's inconveniencing me. Then I wondered if I should be ticked because they didn't even ask if I'd be interested in the kinds of magazines they picked out for me - they just assumed and ordered, which leaves me feeling frustrated that they didn't even care ENOUGH to ask.

So...I wonder which is appropriate: Giving someone a gift that YOU would like for them (even if you don't know they'll like it)? Or getting a gift based on thier interests and/or needs (even if YOU wouldn't necessarily like it as a gift for yourself)? I say the second one is the appropriate one. What do you think?

In my book, you say excuse me when you burp or experience flatulence. NOT WHEN YOU SNEEZE! Sneezing is NOT offensive. It is a neutral action that offends NO ONE! So stop saying excuse me because it is just lame. What do YOU think?

Why do people bother wearing headphones if their music is so loud that you can hear it clearly a mile away? Always on the bus/train where other passengers may be trying to read.

I was talking to my husband and friends and alot of women said they do this.

When using a public restroom, and have to go #2 they wait for someone to leave so they can go. They will wait till they are blue in the face before they actually go #2 just so u wont hear anything.

Dont we all use the potty? Why do us women do this?

My husband said the men use the bathroom with no shame lol

I have several unwanted magazine subscriptions coming to me that were given as gifts. Although the thought behind the gifts were nice and appreciated, I really have no desire to keep receiving these magazines for the next year (or at all, to be honest). Is there any way of cancelling these subscriptions without the buyer finding out? Or am I stuck getting them? Thanks! :-)

Recently, our local hospital has implemented a Dunkin Donuts within its main lobby... I have found that there is NO LINE there in the morning and have been going there to get my morning coffee (since the other Dunkin Donuts in town have a wait upwards of 20 minutes).

I normally park in the emergency parking area so I can run in and get my coffee, and up till this morning I have not had an issue. Today, my car was on the 'hooks' of a flat bed and they were moving it on when I came out. I tried to discuss this with the tow truck guy, even offering him a bribe but he REFUSED to take my car off the hooks.
I felt this guy was VERY rude to me and I'm thinking of pressing charges against the tow truck company...I was in that parking spot for less than 2 minutes and he had my car...it was almost like he was waiting for me...

do I have a case against him and my 100.00 impound fee?

I met him in the community. He said that he wasn't happy with his wife. He eventually left her and we continued to see one another. We live near her. He sees her almost every day because they have two kids. He also pays for her morgage, over $2000, as well as her car note and her car insurance. He says that he does not want to get back together with her but I am having problems with this. Am I wrong?

I have been going to this woman for nearly 3 years. Lately it seems like she hasn't been making as much of an effort as she used to be. Do I tell her I'm unhappy and see how that works out or just go find someone new? And if so how do I tell her?

I was going to my bank's ATM earlier today, and there was this...i guess a box truck...shorter than a semi... and he pulled into the one drive to get to the ATM. And he stoped and parked. I guess the guy needed directions or something, but there was another drive where they could have parked, instead of blocking the drive to the bank. I had to back up..onto the road...during lunch hour mind you, and find another way into the bank.*Mind you, they saw that i was behind them the whole time*

Anyways, why do people find the worst places to stop and park? Like a drive into a bank for example.

I don't get that. I Swear a lot. Its like second nature and I half the time I never even realize that I'm doing it. However I am very itelligent, graduated high school 4.0, and have been told by many that i am a smart person. The fact that I swear has no bearing on my education level so why do people say that? When I hear someone swearing, I certainly do not immediately think, "what a bafoon". They are just words....
