We have a friend from Finland arriving who we have not seen for 17 years. He was an exchange student so lived with our family for 12 months. He is now a wealthy financial planner who is a high flier and travels the globe regularly (for work and pleasure). He is honeymooning for over a month in all different countries and has made Adelaide, SA one of his stops to show his wife around. In an email that he sent he says: "Would obviously be great to meet and maybe spend a few days together. If you could work it out somehow, I would be happy to invite all of you (incl boyfriends, wifes etc!) to a gathering where I could celebrate (with decent wines, I promise) our wedding with all of you!"
Do you think he is offering to pay for our meal?

Boring people. If someone can't make me laugh, I'll walk away.
Sloppiness-- I try to do things neatly & can't stand looking at a mess.

My fiance has a habit of placing his idle hand (the left) on the table by resting his wrist on the edge of the table and slightly clenching his fist. It sort of looks like he's using his spare hand to balance or something - ive brought this up to him and mentioned that he should really keep any hand that's not being used (like for cutting food) in his lap - ive heard that its not impolite to rest your wrists only on the edge of the table while food is not in front of you... such as would be the case during conversation, or while between courses. To me, when i see this crenched fist on the table and his fork in the other, it reminds me of a truck driver hovering over his bowl of chili at a lunch counter.... i love him soooo much but this habit has to go. Am i wrong?? is he correct?

My family's lack of consideration and good manners is pushing me over the edge.

I have been depressed for quite a while and sleep is the only thing i enjoy and my family is ruining it for me

When i am sleeping they enter the room with such force , that noise nearly scares me into a heart attack. When in the room, they do whatever they need to do as noisely as possible. Sometimes they even start full blown conversation whilst in room , when i am trying to sleep.

My eldest brother who is a bellend, sometimes comes into the room and starts shouting for no apparent reason.

When finished, they NEVER close the door behind them, this upsets me the most as my bedroom is next to the hallway and the noise and chatter is almost bound to wake me up.

When i am awake, they NEVER knock before entering regardless if i am doing something private. Today i reminded my brother that he should knock before entering but he asked me "why am i being a moody cow?" i have tried talk to them

TWICE this week I have been out to dinner, and the waiter asked if they could bring a to-go box before I was even finished with my dinner. My husband was done because he a typical guy - shovel it in until you can't eat another bite (relax guys) but I am the enjoy each bite type. He was back with the check before I was done, and cleared my husband's plate. It seemed strange, almost rude. What do you think?

When this woman first asked me to watch her preschool-age daughter, she told me she hadn't been able to get a sitter--but the problem is, she's never been able to find one. I'm fine with helping out in an emergency--but I don't want to keep doing it on a regular basis.

Pple are still being taken down by Dateline NBC - To catch A Predator. Man, if that is you, how do you explain that to the wife and kids???

And what if you were watching and were dumb enough to forget that you were going to be on TV. So, you're just sitting there on the couch with the family and your dumbass appears on TV. Oh shi*!!!

What now??

nude in my back yard, having a cigarette? I mean, it was such a warm day, and I almost never see her in her backyard, so I figured I would just enjoy the sun for a while as I smoked.
I don't think she thought much of it - I noticed her looking at me when I heard her dog running about her yard....

I recently lost my cell phone while we were about an hour from home. A nice, honest woman found it and is mailing it back to me. Granted I get her return address, what is a nice, thoughtful thank you gift I can send her? Or should I just send a card?
