I just don't understand why "you're so gay" is tossed around in the expectation of offense. Since when does gay mean stupid? Why is it such a big deal. Does anyone have a solid factual answer as to why it's soooo wrong? (Keep in mind the word "factual" I don't want to hear any petty religious crap about Leviticus.)

My daughter and I have gone to the same hairdresser for 5 years, and we absolutely love her. A couple of weeks ago, my 16-year-old had her hair colored for the first time. Our hairdresser told us afterwards that she didn't leave the color on long because she couldn't tell how comfortable my daughter was with the color, so that it might fade out in a week's time. She said if it did, to call her and she'd redo it free. So I paid her and tipped her. Well, it faded out in a few days so our hairdresser worked her back in to the schedule and completely re-did her hair. It looks great. Anyway, should I have tipped her for the second time? She does a great job and I appreciate her being so careful. But I just didn't think about tipping her, and now I'm wondering if I should have. I did offer to pay but she wouldn't take anything.

sometimes if someone is explaining something to you, and you either want to impress, or really cant be bothered, how often do you make out you know what they mean? Seldom, sometimes, or often. Until you get the gist of it.

I have 2 workers at my house and my mother cooks lavish homemade meals for them.
However mom worked today, and I got stuck and they worked today, came in late, then went out for an hour, and one of the workers called me by name first time ever and asked me if I'm going to make lunch or do we have to make it ourselves very rudely. I got so upset. Am I obligated to feed this animal. I made the food and just told them to go and help themselves.

A man at work,who,up until a few days ago,I considered to be a friend.I heard a nasty (screwing coworkers) rumor about him while at lunch with other co-workers one day. I went straight to him about it,just to let him know there was a rumor.. He demanded on knowing who said what, and why, etc. I told him I didn't feel right naming names, and that I just wanted him to beware,as he is in the middle of what may be a nasty divorce..Before you all jump on me,YES- I now realize that I shouldn't have interfered at all, and should have minded my own business.BUT- He went to our Manager(Govt.) and they are trying to say that I am disrupting the workplace.All I meant to do is have a conversation with a friend.I guess he didn't like what I had to say(OR IT REALLY WASN't a RUMOR???) he got defensive and made the complaint. OH yeah...we really used to talk all the time and I considered him as close as my little brother! WHAT can I do now? NO-one is speaking to me. Have I alienated myself for good?

why do we hear this from our parents when we are young kids, yet when we are adults, we sue for libel and slander and other reasons? Is it a true statement? Can a name hurt someone? There is the old addage, "nobody can make you feel inferior without your concent." Is this also true? What about racial slurs, or homophobic slurs, or anything like that? Can we also said "sticks and stones..." or "nobody can make you feel inferior..." related to those matters?

Is it just me or does it seem like 80% of the people who post questions on this don't know how to use proper English?
Its very annoying when your trying to answer questions and you feel like your drunk because every question is worded so poorly, are people really that bad with English? If so why not create a Yahoo Answers in other launguages?

Say you meet in a supermarket or the airport ticket counter (accidentally of course) and all you have between you is probably 2 minutes maximum.

It's now been 3 years maybe I never heard of her, her last words to me,

"What the f* - how dare you say that to me- I've never been humiliated more - this is it - get out of my Life and never try to send me even mails - I just hate the sound of your name - I just don't care what you think or feel - for me, you're long lost forgotten moron - I just hate the thought of you = just get lost and hope I never see or hear from you EVER again".

Is it polite to smile and talk OR rather ignore the person if all means of communication have been snapped

If a person has sex with several people, that person is automatically labeled as a **** & mocked by the general public. Why is this so? Maybe the person is not emotionally ready for a relationship as yet, or the person has not met a relationship-material person as yet, but until that time what's wrong with having some fun?

I mean, this is what older adults tell teens so that they keep their focus on studies, or encourage to build up good relationship ethics when they turn into adults. But once they're adults, why people criticize them if they sleep around? They have to look at the person's situation and make a proper judgment, instead of stereotyping them as "****s".

What are your views on this?

I asked four questions about my homework under education (homework help). I had 70 questions all together that I had to answere. Well I have been working on them the past three days and got all of them done except for the four that are remaining. Well, I got a reply from someone that said I should do my own homework and that I am cheating and that I did not take the time to look up the answers--Well I have been spent the past three days looking for the answers in the book and on the internet. Was it rude of her to just assume that I was cheating because I have seen worse?

I work at the local school and saw a boy wearing this shirt. I'm white and I thought if i wore a shirt that said I love White People the school would have a problem with it and so would the black kids.
I don't think either shirt is ok to wear....causes too many issues.

At work I tend to lend a friend my sports magazines that I get from the company. Only recently did I discover that he reads it exclusively in the bathroom. I always lend to him first so I do want it back as I still have not read it yet. Am I making too much of this or is it unsanitary not to mention rude/disgusting? I guess I can simply say no next time or should I just tell him not to bring it in there instead? Didn't realize I had to regulate other people's reading materials but it bothers me when I found out what it's used exclusively for.

I live in an apartment building that is smoke free but I'm always smelling it through my air ducts. There are signs that say not to smoke in hallways and staircases but people don't always comply. However, when I went to talk to management they said there's nothing I can do about it as tenants are allowed to smoke in their own apts. which is what they do. So if I happen to smell it or they leave their doors open allowing smoke to enter the hallway it's well within their rights. Plus the maintenance people who work in our building tend to smoke too & there happens to be a maintenance room right next door to me. I kind of agree with the rights of smokers but unfortunately my non-smoking doesn't affect their air/breathing as much as their smoking affects mine. Plus, I have a certain sensitivity to it having already been diagnosed with emphysema & bad lungs despite not being a smoker. I need to know what to do as my building will not regulate it.

I was invited to an engagement party for one of my best friends from high school that I haven't seen in 4 years. Everyone I've talked to has said to not go because it would probably be an uncomforatble situation for me.

The invitation says to RSVP by today. Does that mean I need to call them and tell them I'm not going, or would I only need to call if I was going?

I seem to have this issue where friends, coworkers have a tendency to borrow things like money, magazines, etc. but then forget to pay me back, or return them in good condition if they do. It really is irritating that I have to make the effort to get things back when I'm the one who did them the favor to begin with. I'll hear things like "it was only 5 or ten bucks-lighten up." But when they needed the dough it sure seemed like a big deal. I know they always say be prepared to not see it again when you lend something of yours out, but then the person should also ask with the disclaimer that they want to keep the item not 'borrow' it. It's small enough where I'm not gonna end the friendship over it but I just find it inconsiderate that instead of apologizing over the oversight they usually get upset that you asked for it back or in the same condition. Now I tend to be less trusting but only other option is to say no all people all the time which is unfair to them. Any suggestions?
