My girlfriend made plans to go drinking with her ex boyfriend for this Saturday. They are going with a couple of his friends.

I don't have a lot of relationship experience, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered appropriate to go out drinking with an ex. I could easily stop her from doing anything that would instantly end our relationship by coming along, but I'd almost rather have her screw up now rather than wait until we're married and she's messing around with other guys.

She told me that when she drinks she gets turned on, so I suspect the worst results to happen this Saturday.

What do you think? Should I go along or let some disaster happen now rather than later? Are her actions inappropriate or am I overreacting?

When you have to go "numba 2" at work? And you just sit there and try to hold it because you don't want to go to the bathroom and stink the joint up, or even worse, have someone walk in while you are in the middle of the act! Man my stomach hurts!

My boyfriend invited me out to his mother's birthday dinner the other night and I want to send her a thank you card for having me. We've met before, he and I have been friends for years and we would bump into each other frequently, but this was the first time I had been introduced as his girlfriend so etiquitte is very important. I have no way to contact the grandmother who paid and I really don't want to apear stuffy or snooty, but I want to let them know that the gesture was appreciated.

Dear Name,
Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your birthday festivities the other night. It was wonderful to meet everyone again and to have such a wonderful dinner. I think tiramisu may be my new favorite dessert! Please send my thanks and love to your mother for dinner, it was very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Me

I thought about saying, "Now I know where Blank get his kindness and sense of humor from!", but I figured that would be too much. Thoughts or suggestions?

Okay, I am in the first trimester of my pregnancy, so smells really bother me. I have a co-worker that ALWAYS eats stuff with onions on it- lots of onions. I always say her stuff sticks- joking- even though it's true. The other day she was having a "bad day" & so when me & a couple other co-workers commented on her food, she got really upset, snapped, started yelling about how she can eat what she wants, and people need to shut up. So I didn't say anthing to avoid cursing her out. Anyway; I told another co-worker that's close to her she really hurt my feelings; whether she had a bad day or not is not a reason to go off on people. That co-worker said it was rude to say someon'es food stinks. Well she has the right to eat her funky ffod at her desk , so don't I have the right to say it stinks to me? Plus she apologized to the other people she snapped at, but she refuses to say sorry to me because "it wasn't directed towards me". Am I wrong for being upset?

My main problem with this is that I work weekends, and tommorw I will be doing a 14 hour day, so I really need to sleep. Its only 20.00 now, when is a reasonalble time for me to go and say something to him?. I know I will not be able to sleep and its stressing me out already!.

Is there a proper etiquette? I'm talking about the visitation, not really the actual funeral.

If a person is a really, really bad person, would you put a skunk in their car as payback? I know where I can get one. Do you think it is a good idea.

Is it just me or do many people raise their voice as if they want all to hear the conversation and know how important their business is? Am I delusional?

I'm a college student, and many times I go to the local 24 hour family restaurant (like a Denny's or IHOP) to study late at night. I can drink coffee,eat, study, listen to music, ect (things you can't do at the library).
However, I notice that the server will always put the loudest, drunkest, most obnoxious people right next to my table. I don't say anything because I know it's a restaurant and not a library, but should I request to be moved to a different table? Or would it be wrong to ask the people to be a little quieter?

I'm working on a project with a woman that is 15 yrs older than me and married. We work in an office environment,so we're always close to one-another. She keeps dropping sexual innuendo in our conversation and finding ways to be alone with me. I'm in no way shy,but I'm just not interested in this woman !
I've asked about this before on YA, and since its gotten worse.I need her for what she knows and she knows that! I've hinted that I'm dating and tell a little about my weekend; she still persists.
Its got me mad now,should I sabotage the project after 2 months of input? Another thought was to shag her, and give her the worst sex she's ever had ! (this could have a very negative repercussion though).
Others in the office have noticed her (not so subtle now) innuendo as well. I've been taunted a few times already, so they know now too.
She dropped her pen under a table at conference, and when I went to get it for her she let me know she wears stockings not pantyhose.Just 1 example

My bosses and co-workers have been asking me to go to happy hour with them after work. Two problems exist. I am not a big drinker I will drink occasionally, but it is not my thing. Second, I have been a couple of times and I do not like they way they act when they are drinking. Many get loud obnoxious and start acting like annoying frat boys when they are drunk. Also it is kind of weird to see some married guy attempting to hit on a girl half his age.
