we live in an aprtment building and my husband is constantly having to go outside and tell kids to be quiet if they're going to play in front of people's homes (one kid even muttered profanity at my husband as he was walking away)....i love kids and understand that playing is important, but these kids scream at the top of their lungs...once my husband even caught some small children banging on our a/c unit with rocks......why don't parents watch their children?? do they not care about them, i mean these unsupervised children could meet any number of unsavory fates..?? do these people have absolutely no respect for others? what's the deal??

In my guest bath cupboard there was a brand new unopened pack of six medium size towels. After a lunch for some thirty people the pack was gone. I havent said anything to anyone. However since the whole pack was large and heavy I doubt if somebody would actually walk off with it in their arms. Two of the guests came with sports bags and one went in the bath with it. At the time I wondered why. Could it be she stole the towels carting them off in the sports bag? Just want your opinion. I dont think its worth raking up the issue but I shall be more careful next time.

I tend to automatically address women as "love", when thanking them or serving them. Eg: Thanks Love, or Do you want sauce love? I have heard a couple of women say they consider such patronising coming from a man... What is the general consensus out there pls?? . I now do it so automatically and am trying to be nice

Okay, let me rephrase that.
Say someone is bent on doing something their way; they have the passion to do it, but not the logic.
I'm not saying this particular person is stupid, they just rush into things without thinking.
So I tell them a large fault in their plan, which would severely deter them.
Suddenly, I have all these insults flying at my face.
I'm not saying I'm perfect, and I didn't offend her in the least, but I didn't expect that.
So what should I do the next time I mention something like that to her?
And if I can't prevent the torrent of insults, how could I politely make her see my way?

Today I volunteered to take a co-worker to the hospital because she really wasn't feeling well.

Upon my return, a fellow co-worker gets obnoxious with me (overly so) over a smaaalll thing and while I tried to remain calm but also felt I had to stand my ground as he is the "diva" of the office. I'm 4-months-new and just got reviewed yesterday. My/his boss just went out on sick leave yesterday and I don't want to go over his head. Did I do the right thing? I'm working in an industry I like and make good $$.

I think is around 5 years old and when he comes out to play sometimes he picks these little berries off a bush from his yard and throws them into our yard. I think he is a little berry picking hoodlum and I don't want my 2 yr old son learnin how to do that. Should I go over there and knock on the door and firmly tell his parents what a disturbance he is causing? I am not sure how to handle it. I keep my children indoors.

Say the parking is full. You saw a car is leaving, you wait and signals. The departing car pulls out and just that moment, a car from the opposite side snug in and take your spot. Say it is obvious that you were waiting for the spot.

What will you do ?

1) Keep honking at the driver who parked at your spot ?
2) Get out of the car and confront the driver who just parked your spot ?
3) Give the drive a middle finger or curse at him/her and move on to find another spot ?
4) or what ?

Say you and your girlfriend or wife go to a mall. Some guy touched her as he walk by. It can be bump her front or grab her bottom, you basically got the picture. Say there is no doubt that it was intentional. She tell you about it and what will you do ?

1) Just pause for a second stare at him as he try to walk away, and you move on ?
2) Grab the guy by the shirt and yell at him ?
3) Go up and confront him and ready to punch that sucker ?
4) Or a better way ?

I've been vacationing where I used to live 5 years ago. Dropped in out of the blue to my land lady who was always very nice to me. (She wasn't listed and lost number so I could not call in advance first.) I gave her some chocolates today.
Anyway I'm invited for dinner tomorrow. What should I bring? Beer or wine? Flowers? Another suggestion?
Thank you so much for your help!

I have a memory foam pillow top mattress and she took the sheets off the bed, unzipped the cover, and tore small holes in my mattress. She has never done this (or any other destructive behavior before).
My daughter is not spoiled my any means, but does not hurt for anything. She is a very well behaved child with very good manners and very sympathetic, but at this age, how do I teach her to respect my things and the fact that she HAS things that others do not. Is she too young to work at a soup kitchen? Will she understand that the people she is serving have NOTHING? I want to raise an empathetic, compasionate and respectful child.
How should I punish her for this act? I thought about ruining something of hers to show her how it hurts her feelings, but two wrongs don't make a right. I am usually pretty savy in the arena of disipline, but this time I am at a loss. She is a very resourceful child and taking things away is useless. She is pretty happy with very little. Any advice?

Have you ever passed gas somewhere that you thought was safe from offending others only to find out it wasn't.. It happened to me in an elevator. I was the only one on, so I let it rip, but when the doors opened a few floors down there was one person waiting to get on. As I was walking away he yelled loudly, It smells like "A**" in here. I was mortified. Of course this was at work.

A while ago I was told that I seemed sensitive. This observation was correct so I was wondering: What does a person do to give off that "sensitive" vibe?
