...to ask neighbors to turn down their music? I live in a row home that shares an driveway/alley with another block of homes, and on the weekends, all day, all night, we hear very loud hip hop, rap and hispanic music. Some is actually enjoyable, but for the most part, we have to shout to each other to be heard, the glasses in the cabinet vibrate from the bass, and we miss a lot of what we're trying to hear on the TV. I don't want to start a racial war or a bad-neighbor thing, I just want some peace and quiet, especially on the weekend when ALL OF US have worked hard all week (including, I assume, our musical neighbors). Thanks for your help.

How many partners is acceptable to society for a woman to have had? Is the number different from that of a male?

I see all of this stuff on television that seems to imply that nowadays it isn't uncommon for people in my age group to have sex with every person they date. I just wonder if that is a misconception, or if it really is acceptable to have that many partners as long as you are "safe" about your methods.

What are your thoughts?

With the extensive Words and grammar in the English Language why do people find this necessary. All it does in my opinoin is make them lose face value and respect.

The other day, the neighbor girl invited herself over to my apartment again, and she was leaning on a shelf where I keep my books and the Ukrainian-style eggs my mum decorated for me years ago. I'll admit that it's not a very sturdy shelf because I found it the last time I went dumpster diving in the summer, but she was leaning on it strangely which caused most of the books to fall off. I sort of jumped as it happened at first because I thought that the Ukrainian-style eggs would fall off of the shelf as well.

She caught the shelf, and the eggs didn't fall...only the books. But then she started crying, crying, and crying about how sorry she was; her tears soaked the floor really...

I told her that I am not upset and that I only jumped because I was worried about the eggs. The girl has baked cookies for me for the past week--every day since she bumped the shelf, and every day I tell her it's okay. While they are good cookies, I want her to stop feeling bad about it.

Here is the situation:

I was speaking with my father about something irrelevant. While I was in the conversation, my mother butted in (rudely) wanting to know what I was talking about. I asked her nicely that I will tell her what I was speaking about after I had finished the conversation. She then interrupted again. I asked her to wait while I finish the conversation. She then interrupted a third time, when I told her to stop being a rude cow (Out of order I know but I asked three times to stop interrupting). She then blew up in my face. The question is this.

I was told by my parents when I was young to not intterupt someone when they are talking to someone else (common courtesy). She then does it anyway for a conversation which did NOT involve my mother in any way shape or form.

Do you think I am in the right compared with my mother? this is not the first time she has done this. She butts in when I am on the phone to a friend, asking who it is when it is not her business.

I normally reach over and unlock the driver's door after I get in a friend's car so she can immediately open the driver's door without keys. But if i am with a man or on a date, what are the rules of etiquette? I would like to open the driver's door to be courteous to the other person but in the process look ackward reaching over and lose my poise.

I was trying to be light-hearted and funny and put, "Glass slippers. Be sure to lose one of them at midnight!" and was reported for this answer. I guess stupid humor is not appreciated by some, so much so that they feel the need to report it. I only report answers that are flat-out awful (vulgar, racist, etc. etc.). What criteria do you use, personally, to "report abuse"?

There is a girl where I work who has gone off the deep end. She is a large girl and has always been nice to my face. I became friends with a man in the office in which she *was* friends with his wife. I have also met the wife and we get along great. Well, this large woman seems to be jealous of the friendship I have with the man. She has slammed doors, even confronted him and told him she's jealous. Very WEIRD. She has gone to our supervisor and said that she thinks there is something going on between him and I. Our super talked to him and told him just an "FYI" that our friendship is being perceived as more. Then yesterday, this large woman comes to my desk, in front of 2 other co-workers and is grilling me about whether or not I am hanging out with this other couple. If we have ever gone to their house, etc. It was very intimidating and made me uncomfortable. It's bad enough she has the office convinced we are having an affair. Now she's confronting me in the workplace? What do I do?

I have the misfortune of sitting close to someone who grunts, hacks and sighs all freaking day. He gets up from his desk, he grunts...he puts down the phone, he sighs loudly...and while he is sitting at his desk he hacks...

It's all rather disgusting to me. Even my iPod can't drown it out.

I don't mean in front of them or including them, for the sickos, but regarding the inevitable noises and telltale squeaking of furniture etc. would it make you uncomfortable to hear it from your hosts? And I mean over about a week long stay (everybody has had to listen to flatmates banging the headboard a couple of times and I don't mean if the guests are just over for coffee!). Alternately, is it appropriate to have sex at somebody elses house when you are a short term visitor? Would you be insulted if you were the host?

How many days are questions left in voting? And how does it work after those days are up? Will a answer be determined as best answer or what? And why doesn't the person posing the question care enough to choose themselves?

Any thoughts?

i am just wondering whether so-called rude words, such as bloody, become less and less offensive as times move on. are there any other words that were once derogatory but are now harmless and deemed as acceptable to use in today's society? when i was a kid at school and living in london, whenever someone else mentioned 'bloody', they would get told off by the teacher for example. yet, these days you can say that word and not offend other people. are there indeed any rude words that were considered as being not socially acceptable back during their days but of which are now socially acceptable for people to use?

please do not use this as an opportunity to attack or slag off other people giving intelligent and thoughtful answers to this question

I had been sharing two different apartments with this particular roommate for the period of 6 months.

Because of recent problem developed this week due to rotten 2-week old meat left in the pot with the transparent lid on found atop the microwave oven (I'm not kidding) among other common use area sanitary issues, I sort of argued with the "lazy" roommate (the only other one in the 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment) who is always negligible in keeping the kitchen clean on the constant basis.

I told him I'm not a maid who have to keep arranging his dishes & wiping stains off the counter and grease off the stove top.

The roommate's lazy habit have exceeded my tolerance limit & I lost it which led to conflict this week. I'm moving out as the result of the outcome.

How do one go on handling a lazy, uncooperative & inconsiderate roommate on the proper chores?

Move out as the end-it-all solution to teach the lazy roommate a lesson on the importance of respect, for self and other mates?
