i.e when you drop food on the floor if you pick it up within three seconds it won't be too dirty to eat.

If you're buying something and you've paid for the item in full your part of the transaction is completed. Why does the seller have to wait to leave feedback until you've left yours? If you've been great to deal with then you should get positive feedback. If something goes wrong between the time you paid and the time you get what you paid for...you'll leave negative feedback and then get some in return even though you've paid on time and did everything according to the terms and agreements.

Those people who leave negative feedback just because you got some....shouldn't be using eBay....you are all a bunch of babies (those who fall in this group)!

Can't take responsibility for your actions and have to feel "good about things" by leaving unwarranted feedback.

Sorry this is more of a rant than a question....

Good night.

Ok, we live basically outside of a small town (pretty much a rural setting). We have some chicken that my mother in law and my kids really enjoy having in the backyard. Noise is not the problem, they're not noisy. Neighbor came today saying his wife has lupus and we have to get rid of them because she won't get well until they're gone. I can put them in a greenhouse so they're not outside, but that might not be good enough for the neighbors. I don't want to have to tell my daughter that she has to get rid of all her chickens. This sucks! Whatever happened to the freegin land of the free...

I am finding it difficult to talk while there is food in my mouth. I find it rude when someone talks with food in their mouth so i get self concious when i have to reply to a question while i am eating. This happens while i have dinner with strangers and they ask me
questions that i have to reply quickly to..It would also be rude if i take my time chewing then aswering...

If i AM FORCED to talk with food in my mouth (due to dinner time conversation)--im afraid the other person will see the beautiful contents of my mouth...


Should i:

a) Keep chewin, swallow then reply (even if it takes awhile!)
b) Talk with food in my mouth
c) cover my mouth with my hand
d) pretend im thinking about the question when im not and just use the time to keep chewing, swallow then answer. (probably wont work on simple questions like 'how are you')

In a laundry room for an apt. complex, how long should you wait for someone to come and move their laundry out of the washer or drawer? If they take too long, is it okay to move their stuff out and put it on top of a washer or dryer? Also, if the following happened to you, would you consider it rude?:

All the washers are full & you're waiting for the next available one & the person who's stuff is washing right now comes & moves his load to the dryer & then puts another load in the washer even though you were waiting. He also has loads in EVERY single other washer in the facility...and as each load finishes, he reloads the machines with a 2nd load, so that in the end, every single machine is full of his laundry.

that you care? that you love them? that you're sorry or have done something wrong? that you will always be there for them?
creative ways, please, not "just tell them" kind of answers.

I made delicious brownies and brought them over to my friend and her boyfriend´s house last night. It was a very small gathering, and about 20 brownies were left over.

When I bring something to someone´s home I always leave what I brought there for the host-hostess, but this hostess last night had the nerve to tell me she was going to bring the brownies to share with others at work-she might tell them she made the brownies herself.

Should I just take this as a compliment, or not?

He only showers about once every ten days or so and we're on an athletic team together, so he smells very bad. He hasn't washed his clothes in over a month and just keeps "recycling" them out of the dirty clothes pile. He is always on the phone at all hours of the day, to make matters worse he has the bass cranked up on his computer and it keeps everyone awake on my side of the floor, and not to mention he has so much stuff plugged into your DSL outlets that my internetruns about 1/100th the speed his does. What do I do? I want to be nice about it, but it is becoming rather offensive and our room has a very strange odor because of it.

I think that only food servers should only be tipped but everyone is tipping left and right. Soon you'll be telling me I should be tipping the mailman!

Not my desk; asking for a friend. Anyway -- he has a little bowl that he keeps stocked with miniature chocolate bars, and people stop in his office to chat and have a choccy.

They'll even fly out the door when he's not around.

On one hand, this makes him, as you might imagine, popular at work. All manner of superiors and underlings stop in; the social aspects are a plus.

But it's starting to cost quite a bit.

Part of this is his fault; 'No, go ahead -- take two! Help yourself!' And he'd prefer not to pawn off cheap chocolates, too.

People above him have thrown him a few bucks, unsolicited, here and there for the chocolate bowl maintenance. But it's rare, and all told, paid for a about a weeks' worth. It is now a pretty expensive habit.

Suggestions, short of barking "Don't be piggy!" ...?

My house up for sale. A "friend" was present when a real estate agent and clients came. I was on the phone. When the call was over, I went to the basement to meet the buyers, while my "friend" remained on the main floor. My "friend" had been shopping and had brought 3 huge bags of clothes into the house ( I wondered at the time why she did not leave them in the car). I had a box of knickknacks at the bottom of the stairs. After the visit, I saw that this box was empty and asked "friend" why? She said that she had put all the items out on the hall table to impress the buyers. ?? I got annoyed and said she had no right to "decorate" my house while I was on the phone and drove my "friend" home. The next day, I felt drawn to the hall table and my china cabinet - a brass bowl and a pair of candlestick holders were gone. I searched my house and remember how the "friend" had admired the items. I confronted her and she denies stealing them. She would not look at me.
What to do?

why do people always ask me if i have kids? i dont have kids and i dont want them. i also dont think i look like i have kids. moms usually looks awful. yes you might say heidi lum looks good, but she is rare and im sure she has stretchmarks galore under all that lighting and makeup. well i think the question is insulting. i think people should think before they ask if someone has kids.

So many questions on here about nudity and its offensiveness. Most are united is saying nudity is not offensive.

If this is true why is it that when someone has to change or be nude breifly in the presence of another adult they cover thier eyes or turn around. I understand if the person wants privicy or ask them to turn around but aren't we to the point where we can see another adult naked without thinking it is wrong or bad or evil or unnatural or sexual.

If you were with a person (either of same or oppisite sex) that had to change or get naked for some reason and didn't ask you to leave or turn around and seemed at ease with being undressed in front of you, would you cover your eyes or turn round on your own?

A co-worker that I'm only civil with is getting married. A lot of my closer co-workers have been invited and are going to the wedding. The bride-to-be has actually discussed the wedding and the guest list in front of me on numerous occassions which has actually offended me.

However, one of my other co-workers (who was not invited nor going) has notified us she is collecting for the Bride. Should I contribute, and if not, what should I say when the collector comes calling?

She said: "Who all is coming to your birthday party? How many people are going to be there? Are we doing gifts?" Obviously the first two are easy to answer. We assumed people would bring gifts if they want too, what is the most appropriate way to answer the gift question? And am I right in thinking that her question is a bit rude, and makes me feel a little uncomfortable.....

I live on the ground floor and my large bedroom window faces the back of the building and the parked cars. I have walked in there naked not knowing my wife left the blinds open. Once my neighbor lady was standing right outside the window.

If you were that lady standing outside the window when a naked man walks into his bedroom how would you react?
Would you be offended or upset?
