I have a beautiful wife and one night i got blind drunk when she was sober and decided to make a show of her in front of my little brother. I said to her ''get up and dance for me. Dance for me mates'' and she said im too embarrassed and i cursed her. Now she is mad at me and i think that its unfair as i was clearly off my face at the time.

Ok, I work for a small food retail shop called the CO-OP.

It's coming up to April, and if you don't take your holiday before this time, you lose it!

I requested a holiday 4 weeks in advance (following the rules provided by them) and I was told I probably will not get this holiday and I will lose it. Now, this is my first year at work and had not been informed to make bookings earlier.

So im wondering if my holiday has gone bye bye. I mean it's only a weekends worth of holiday, but well you can't blame anyone for feeling a little hard done by hearing that you will probably lose your holiday...

Any hopes for me, or should I just forget it?

Working in a stale and boring environment, the only relief being the occasional venture out the front of the building for a cigarette. I often fantasize about other workers in my building, secretly wishing to have an amorous encounter while at work.. Any of you have these?

I've known this girl for about 3 months, but during that time, we've become really close friends, and we share intimate secrets...but I messed up yesterday.

I was a little upset yesterday, and I blurted out that someone was talking behind her back. I did stand up for her, and the girl who was talking apologized, and asked that I not mention anything to my friend....well I guess I put my foot in my mouth cause I told her, but after I told her I realized how big of a mistake I had made....she asked me who it was...and I couldn't tell her cause I said I wouldn't.

Now she's very hurt, very angry, she says it's not at me, she just doesn't like it that someone's talking about her...she thanks me for standing up for her, but when I tried talking to her about it, she said I was only making it worse...

Is there anything I can do? I already apologized, feel horrible...Call me whatever you want, but even though she's a friend, she means more to me than some of my old girlfriends.

I have to attend the funeral of my Grandmother on Friday, which I have to say I'm not looking forward to. Unfortunately I am also supposed to be at a wedding of a good friend which is taking place at the same time. Obviously I intend to go to the funeral but do you think it would be really awful if after the service I then went to the wedding rather than go on to the wake?

It's a really difficult descision please help

I've been living as this apartment for 2 years now. And now it's like i have to watch my back in case I do anything wrong. We've had a leak in our bathroom from our ceiling, it's taken 3 MONTHS for the drywall guy to come out and fix the ceiling. After the guy leaves a couple days later we get a note on out door saying "Your apartment is unclean" What the F**k does that mean? My boyfriend took the note to the office and the lady there said she doesn't know why they sent that out, she says that she will send it out when there are feces all over the place (our apartment allows dogs). So she said she would talk to her maintenance guys to find out what the problem is, That was a week ago! I feel it's an invasion of my privacy, I pay them money to live here, and if I am getting knit-picked about everything I do by the maintenance guy that lives upstairs. I really don't want to live here anymore but I don't want to move again. What can I do to make them stop this bullshit!?

I have two friends M and Q. M is a closer friend to me than Q...however the two don't get along well....anyways, Q had made a remark about M, and I defended M...Q apologized and asked that I not mention anything.

I got into a discussion with M and I stupidly said someone had talked **** about her and I stood up for her. Which was a big mistake because then she asked who it was, then I realized I couldn't say anything. Now M is really upset that someone said something, she's really hurt that someone said something about her...I really shouldn't have said anything...I tried talking to her about it and saying it wasn't a big deal that ppl are stupid, but she said I was just making it worse....

I feel so bad that I said it, and hurt her feelings...is there anythign I can do?

Isn't that between them? What they say in private is their own business, right? As long as they're not planning to do something against the law. RIGHT? Can you hold it against them?

It is very likely not even one of the immediate family members.
Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly, Jack, or unpopular relative?

I worked in a library and today a chinese man came in and said he had never had the books that brought fines in his card. I tried to explain to him about how that fine went up and he did not believe in that. He said he was not in the country that time and wanted to show me the passport(which he has not brought in with him). I tried to tell him that maybe his card was used by someone else. He did not believe in what I said but paid it anyway. The thing is when i tried to explain to him in his language he first pretended that he did not understand what I said, so I kindof suspected him of lying. Then I told him there was a book on his card that has not returned and should be returned today. He then talked loud and imtimidated me. He said he had return it into the slot just 10 minutes ago. I had a look and could not find the book that he returned. I could not trust this guy but he was making a fuss and many people were watching.

have this guy..who flirts with me but he never really made an actual move, I know for a fact that he's an insecure guy.. there was one instance where he told me to call him if I ever wanted to hang out or go to a movie.. and there was another time where he asked me WHO I spent my holidays with, and on top of that he's always questioning me about how come I'm always leaving when he comes and talk to me... so I thought well he told me to call him if i ever wanted to hang out..so I made the first move and asked him to hang out.He told me that he would like to but it would have to be in a couple of weeks because he is broke....But we haven't really connected and it's been about a week ago..would you say he's interested even though he hasn't called

Additional Details


He actually came to me and said I would like to get to know you..and he told me to call him If I ever wanted to hang out..and he said he had been putting out hints but I never picked up on em

Additional Details

7 minutes ago
And plus he told me that he was putting out hints..but I enver picked up on them..so he felt like I didn't want to be his friend...and then he went on to say that there has been times where woman have shown that they didn't want to be his friend..

What if one of the finest dishes is scarce?

The other night I was at one of these restaurants and, since I love Mozzarella Caprese (Mozzarella cheese made with African Buffalo milk), I decided to take a bunch of mozzarella pieces into my dish.
Since the Mozarella Caprese (it comes with olive oil, black pepper, fresh basil leaves and cherry tomatoes) delicatessen has become somehow scarce because of the price of the cheese, I thought it was a good idea to get a whole bunch of slices (about 14 of them) and take them to my table.
One of the restaurant workers found my action a little too adventurous and gave my a surprised look.
Was I too wrong for trying to get off this particular dish?

Is it wrong to look someone in the eyes and give them a smile if you pass them on the street or in the elevator? Is this creepy? I don't know what to do....avoid eye contact and look straight ahead?
