It started innocently enough to answer more technical questions. We have both moved on to other questions together using one of our IDs. Do you think if some one could tell they would report us for cheating? Have you ever cribbed off of someone in your home to answer a question / If so who and what kind of question?

Every Wednesdays I go and volunteer at a school for the entire day. This week, I will be unable to go because I'm feeling sick and I'm finding it difficult to stand straight without getting a pounding headache. Anyways, one of the teachers from the school e-mailed me today and asked me to substitute for her because she was sick but then I told her I will be unable to do it because I'm also sick. Shuold I feel bad for not being able to help her?

This may sound sick but I caught my 16 year old brother masturbating to a picture of Maria Sharapova in the nude in our basement recreation room. I found it repulsive he left the door opened and had tons of her pictures out with baby oil, hand lotion and other lube. I am offended by this and he is begging me not to tell mom and dad. I am 26 and I really dont want to talk about this with him. I thought he watched ladies tennis cause he liked the sport but now it seems as if its just to stare at Marias butt or legs. Eww. Do I tell mom and dad?

Should we ignore it or should we take it as it is.
Shilpa Shetty has been abused to her face and behind her back by some ignorant, silly and drunk girls.
Is it racism or just bullying - either way is it right or wrong?
I think all those involved should be punished - DO YOU AGREE OR NOT?

Do you ask shoes to be taken off in your house? Do you wear shoes when visiting other people? Do you like having to take off your shoes at home and when visiting others?

I have a last name that is difficult for most people to pronounce. Right now I'm called Mrs. "x" and it's ok but NOT MY NAME. Any suggestions on how I can "train" people on how to say it correctly? Thanks!

One of my friends was showing me her engagement ring, and when she showed it to me, I had an upset stomach...it must have been because of something I cooked for myself.

I was admiring the ring, and all of a sudden I vomited on the engagement ring and hand which it was on. Immediately afterwards, I apologized profusely. Should I also bake something for her as an apology? I feel absolutely horrible about this!

We wanted to help him because he was down and out, now he makes good money, and does not contribute anything, does not clean, cook, does not pay anything, yet buys himself expensive things ie. xbox, tv, car, lap top, etc. And leaves us messes for us to clean all of the time. How do we get him out without ruining husbands friendship?

I am not joking. I work in a hospital and the priest came in to see a lady who's husband had left to get something to eat and we were changing her gown and linens and the priest was standing behind me staring at her naked body. This same priest came in last nite and asked me if a pain pill was ready for a pt yet, not once but 2 times in 10 minutes. I had to wait for the pharmacy to take the order and check it then send me the drug. The priest was standing in the hall being an annoyance. We are a very busy surgical floor and he is there for spiritual guiadance not demanding pain pills. A year ago, this same priest was in the bathroom with a female naked and she was calling him "honey". He had no business in her bathroom. I think he is in appropriate. \
He always visits the younger ladies. These were all under 50 yrs old and he comes in and starts acting like he is some kind of authority. As for the lady and the pain pill last PM. The physician changed her mind.

While eating in a Turkish restaurant the other night, an old man in a big, furry Russian hat came in. The two waiters immediately went to him, bowed several times, kissed his hands, hugged him around the waist, kissed his hands again, and bowed several more times. The previously empty restaurant (with the exception of my husband and I) was suddenly a flurry of waiters and people from the kitchen! They sat him right next to us in the nicest booth in the place, and immediately catered to everything he needed. People came from everywhere to bring him food and napkins and a giant bouquet of flowers (which they replaced the regular, small centerpiece with) and even a box of tissues! He was friendly and greeted us (and said goodbye on our way out), but everyone was at his beck and call! One waiter even went outside the restaurant to bring his briefcase. Does anyone have any idea what this might have been about? It was like the Turkish Godfather, or something! :)

Who Seeks a Career as a Debt Collector?

In a industry where deception, craftiness, and deceit are rampant, you might imagine most honest people would seek work elsewhere. And you're right. My experience says the average debt collector is male, has a large ego, bounces from job to job, suffers low self-esteem and enjoys using the telephone as an instrument of empowerment. You shouldn't be surprised

to find most of them have great debt problems themselves.

The debt collection business is plagued with high employee turnover. Constant training of new collectors puts great strain on the agencies and the employees. Every moment someone is in training is time lost on the phone. You can imagine the shortcuts that are taken to get a new caller on the floor as soon as possible.

Collectors see themselves in a position to take advantage of those they deem weaker, in

an effort to overcome their own insecurities. They normally will talk-over any issues you may have, threaten and intimidate you, lie, misrepresent themselves, abuse, annoy and attempt to push you as far as they can. After all, a portion of what they collect from you becomes theirs. Unfortunately, far too few consumers complain about debt collectors overstepping their bounds, because they are intimidated or embarrassed about their dilemma. Over the years I've dealt with literally thousands of collectors and suggest that only 2 out of 10 are honest and hard working. The greater percentage are deadbeat scum either just out of, or heading back into a jail cell. Collecting is a male dominated business and because of the shortage of skilled workers, agencies are hiring anyone who can walk and chew gum to make their calls. Social skills, education and career orientation are NOT normally the prerequisites for a debt collector – money beggar position.

I outbid my boss' wife at a silent auction and won tickets to a hockey game. She ran her mouth about getting these for his birthday in front of him, me and others. I was one of the first people to bid and the last and she knew I was bidding. With 3 minutes left, someone told her she was outbid but didn't say it was me that outbid her. She then in front of everyone explained to their child why they were no longer bidding, that they didn't want to pay any higher. When it was announced that I won, I just said how bout that. She proclaimed my name in an annoying tone and said oh my god! Then I added, I have a birthday too. Others congratulated me. Then she didn't talk to me the rest of the night. I say I had every right to bid on those tickets just as everyone else did. I don't think I should have stopped because it was his supposed birthday gift. I had my reasons for wanting those tickets too, but I kept them to myself.

Me and my friends are making a movie. The script is pretty much done, but I can't seem to get all 4 of them around for a meeting.

Back in August, we were meeting up bi-weekly for updates and brainstorming. Now I'm lucky if it's monthly.

I'm getting so sick of them cancelling at the last minute because 'something else came up'. I realise that, when it comes to arranging dates, I sometimes don't get there fast enough, but when I DO set a date, I don't want the menality of;-

'Oh, it's only William, he won't care...'

Well, William DOES care! Either commit yourself or don't bother...

Hopefully, when I have a word with them, it won't sound like above.
