I realize it's impolite to wear one indoors. If there's a hat rack i could use that. but what if there isn't one? if i become a regular hat user i'm not going to check every restaurant before i go to see if they have a hat rack. so where would i leave it? i'd like to start wearing a hat, but i want to do it right.

I went to get my paintings at Bar room Bar, a pub where I had been exhibiting for the last couple of months. The supervisor was in, he appologised for the fact that a couple of paintings were damaged. When I saw them it looked like someone had been punching on them, I was annoyed but it's expected at that sort of place plus I should have insured them so I take some blame for the loss.

There was one painting missing, he told me couldn't find it anywhere and if I could come back another time, so I asked him to call the manager for some help because I paid for a cab to pick them all up then.
He called the manager who instructed him to look everywhere so I waited for about 15 minutes while he did so, came back to me empty handed at which point I sternly asked him to put it in writting and sign because that painting is £150 and I can't afford to mess about. He came back within less than a minute with the painting... What's your veredict?

Like where i work, we have some people come in all the time and say movies don't work...just to get other movies. We're suppose to trade the same movie for the same movie. But some people will stand their and argue. But when i call the manager....he'll just give it to them for free..so i'll just give a movie to them to make them stop arguing.*my boss has not enough 'balls' to tell them no*

anyways why do people always have to have things for free....like they'll *in my posistion* rent a movie...say it doesn't work...and want a movie in its place? * i have had this happen...took it back right away...and told them...and they were happy to exchange it...(it wasn't where i worked)* But some wait to the day its due.

Especially on the interstate/highways. I find it so annoying when I come up behind or near another driver who is slowing down then speeding up, or weaving and then to see that they are on the phone. Is it that important that it cannot wait until you get somewhere and get your vehicle stopped? Or if it is really important, couldn't you just pull over and stop on the side of the road to use your cell phone so as not to get in an accident? Another thing I find funny is people going through the supermarket aisle or in walmart on their phones talking. Some of them are talking to another person who is in the same store, saying, "Yeah I'm over here on aisle 7, where are you/what are you doing?" The only thing I can see having a cell phone for is an emergency, like your car had problems or something like that and you had to call for help. That is why I have a track phone under the seat in my car.

I take sewing classes once a week and our instructor assigned each sewing student to a group of three and that group has to share one sewing machine. One of the lady's in my group comes across as very rude. Whenever the teacher gives instructions to do something, the lady never does it herself but she tells me to do it and she tells me to hurry up, like she's demanding it or something, and she talks during class and doesn't let me listen. I know she means well because she tries to be nice and have a friendly conversation with me but I just find her to be rude. I'm guessing maybe she's just not good with social interaction. How do I deal with her?

Council estates = Chav central? In my opinion yes, those people do not know how to have any manners, and their children are rude and obnoxious, and badly behaved. Many of of them enjoy a bout of shoplifting or getting pi$$ed off their heads.

I have had numerous council tenants living next door to me for years, and all I see is their daughters having kids from age 15, their sons are in jail for drugs and robbery, and there is shouting and fighting in all hours of the day and night.

These people are wasters and the government needs to give them a good kick up the backside if they dont want to see multi generational criminals and welfare benefciaries.

Do you agree?

There is a person that I work with who is telling a new supervisor everything everyone on the floor has ever said about anyone, but she is leaving out the derogatory remarks she her self has made towards people, tonight she tried to put me in it, the supervisor called me over to verify what she was telling him, I told him that I didn’t know what she was talking about, she then replied “I knew she wouldn’t say anything”… then I went back to work….trying to hold in the anger I have for this woman..…now back in the day…..I would have handled this woman one way…….but I’m trying not to go there…..and I’m trying not to be that person…..but my thought s keep going back to thinking ……is it wrong for me to want to beat her *** ….……she then pages me saying that “HE” meaning the new supervisor……. didn’t care ..and she was just playing…but just to let you guys know …her big mouth has gotten a few people in trouble …

Do you turn your friends away? Go to bed and give guests free rein of the house. What if there were quite a few people coming?

Any suggestions?

If I go into the cafeteria at work and sit by myself, for whatever reason, someone always says something like "Are you sitting with all your friends?" What can I say back that won't get me fired?

When I'm in a conversation, I sometimes concentrate completely on my eye-contact that I don't even pay attention to what the other person is saying. I mean, people around here look you directly in your eyes when talking and I just get confused by that. Sometimes, I feel weird if I keep looking into their eyes so I start moving my eyes away ones in awhile. But I'm so focused on appropriate eye contact and not coming off weird, lovey-dovey, intimidating, or awkward that I just CANNOT pay attention to the message that is being given. Then I just act like I have heard the whole thing by agreeing when I'm just making sure I'm doing the appropriate thing with my eyes. Half the time, I don't even know what to do with my eyes during a conversation? I look at the other person's eyes and it's just akward. Is eye contact tricky, sidetracking, or difficult for anyone else in discussions? What do you all do during discussions with regard to eye contact? They always say show good eye contact.

There are many situations when people ask questions that one feels uncomfortable with. Example: You have been invited to a few parties and you need to turn down all except one. It is likely that those you turned down might be disappointed or maybe pissed. When they ask why you are not able to come, should you tell them the honest truth? The honest truth might hurt their feelings! This case would come up if the party you selected was the best because it had the most cool people there and other perks. Yet if you said that, those you turned down might likely be unhappy and label you snobbish etc. when you have done nothing except made the best option.
This sort of scenario also comes up when friends invite you out and you can only go out with one.
Sometimes disturbing questions come when you do not know a person well and they are ask for personal information like where you live, your family background. It can get quite irritating. And it is different when it is a colleague that ask.
