These inconsiderate a***holes should understand that there is no excuse to not carry at least a fiver in your pocket at all times to make small purchases.

I have no problem with people using debit cards to pay for a $125 grocery bill. However, I am FED UP with having to waste my time behind some useless idiot putting a can of pop and a chocolate bar on his bloody debit card!!

Who is with me on this?

That is a real issue with me if I have the manners and courtesy to let someone first, I expect a nod or a wave in response. Am I right or wrong?

What can I get her that isn't raunchy or nasty, she is a bit conservative and I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable. I know one of the other girls from the office is getting her some candles and the other one is getting her lingerie.
We don't hang out or anything outside of work either.

Surely no-one should have the right to chop off a bear's arms and keep them for themselves. This is animal cruelty at its worst!

your thoughts???

Hi. I have a question. My fiancee and I disagree on this and we decided to see how America feels in general about this topic. This is the scenario. We were invited to his mothers house for a Sunday Easter dinner. It was a nice dinner, not just an everyday family kind of supper. Anyway, there was a hockey game on, and some of his family were engrossed in the game. Dinner was ready, so we all went to the table, and they continued watching the game during the dinner, turning away from the people at the table and focusing on the game. I thought it was incredibly rude. He thinks its perfectly fine. When I have a nice dinner like that at my place, the tv is off. I invite people over for the company, not to be distracted by a game. I must say, I'm NOT a hockey fan, but it could have been any program, I felt it was rude of them to continue watching it once we were at the table. His step dad did the identical thing at Thanksgiving, turning to watch a football special, and ignoring his guests.

A friend of mine chews with her mouth open and thus makes a very loud smacking noise with her tounge and lips. Many other friends of mine and hers have noticed as well. We are offended by the way she chews because it is very audible and of course because her mouth is kept open. What would be the most polite way to let her know about her offensive lack-of-manners? I don't want to offend her but I can not deal with it any longer.

My hubby and I bought a house last year, since we have moved in we have discovered that our neighbors SUCK!!! They park on our property and when I said something to the wife, she stated that was their land and walked off. They have also had an assortment of dogs, they keep dying in the road, they will not put them on a leash( there is no leash law here) and they come in my yard tear trash everywhere, the newest one just destroyed $300.00 in landscaping, I once again confronted the neighbor and she snapped at me and stormed off. I am so sick of these people, I called the animal control and they said because I live outside the city limits there is no leash law and the only thing I can do is shoot the dog, I really don't want to shoot this puppy. Need advice on how to deal with these rude *** neighbors. A fence wold be the practical thing to do but since this woman thinks part of my property is hers I will need to have land surveyed first and I don't have $500 right now.please help!

comes over uninvited to your house, doesn't even speak to me and then leaves a big mess? I don't want him around. My spouse complains about him, but doesn't do anything about it.

I dislike this girl very much, but, I am nice to her at work to keep the peace. She thinks I like her especially now since I got engaged and she thinks we're "the same". Now she has invited me to her wedding and I don't want to go! We work in a small place and I have to see her every day. How can I politely decline without it being obvious that I just don't want to go. It's coming up this summer so I need to think fast. Say I'm going on vacation??

I know it is typically tacky to request gifts for a party. However, I am hosting a party for a high school grad that doesn't have much. There is not much family involvement, and I don't think she has enough money or supplies to start her college career in the fall. In our area, graduation parties are a 'new' thing, and I want to, in the most polite way possible, make sure she is showered with gifts! How can I word the invitation so it doesn't seem rude?

The noises are amuseing!
I bought a whopeee cushion and everytime I squeeze it the room bust out in laughter. We treat gas like a sporting event or maybe even a entertaining passtime. This is a very sophisticated form of comedy if you ask me! Your thoughts?

Some people seem to feel very strongly about when, why, and why not gifts are "expected". Read the following and tell me what you think. Traditional etiquette states: 1) if you attend a shower, you are expected to bring a gift; 2) when you receive a wedding invitation, giving a gift is obligatory (whether or not you attend and even if you've given a shower gift); 3) engagement gifts are optional; 4) the gift-giver is never obligated to buy off the registry (Source: Emily Post, the "Bible" of etiquette). Of course, these expectations also have expectations for hosts, brides, and moms-to-be: 1) never send out duplicate shower invitations (one shower per person); 2) never include registry info. in any kind of invitation; 3) family members never host showers; 4) never sent out invitations *just* to get gifts (invite only those you want to attend). What do people think? I'm not a bride - just curious. I always thought these guidelines helped protect people from hurt feelings on all sides.

Don't you wish instead of boring mindless crap you could just say: "I DON'T CARE! DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTING TO SAY? NO? THEN DON'T TALK TO ME ANYMORE!"

Yesterday when my teacher was proofreading the French essay that is due the next class period, she stumbled upon one word that she didn't know what I meant, and I casually told her that, "oh, my friend said it was the word for bookshelf." And then she paused, after like 10 seconds she said, "a French friend helped you write this?" And I don't even know what I was thinking, but without thinking, I just said, "yeah."

Which now I feel so bad, because first of all, my friend only proofread it for me, correcting all the errors. Now it seems like someone is actually helping me do an assignment, and it seems like I am cheating!

I guess I just care for her impression of me. For this past one year and a half I have been taking French, I have been doing really well, and I just don't want her to think that the only reason i am doing so well is because someone is helping me.

I am just very confused right now, I'd appreciate a lot if you guys can tell me if I indeed am just thinking too much.

Unfortunately because of my big breasts i attract some unsavoury characters e.g. old perverts (old enough to be my grandfather), drunks and any other perverted freaks. Sometimes it really freaks me out and one day hopefully ill get a breast reduction.

More than often they will come up to me and either they will say something obscence and digusting or they will ask me out.

At this point, my mind goes blank and i don't what to say, i feel to tell them to F*ck off, but i'm a bit of a wimp.

So if you was in this situation, What would say or do next????

The best answer will get top points

I have calculated the return of that investment and it shows that I could be paying "Dolly" back in just a few months.
Besides I think I could use it for other purposes too.

At a recent baby shower, a colleague/friend first asked the mommy-to-be to drive out of her way to give her a lift to the shower and then didn't bring a gift for the baby. (It's been more than a month and still no gift has been given.) Our circle is mixed about this: some say she was pretty rude others (including me and the mommy-to-be) want to give her the benefit of the doubt. Any thoughts?

People with really shapely feet really irritate me.
Scarlett Johassen's voice really annoys me too.
And the biggest freak out of them all... Belly buttons - there is nothing worse than when you see someone playing with their belly button - I just want to start hitting them.

My friend who is white called me a nappy head hoe, after the Imus thing came out. We were very close friends & co-workers. When I got home I called him and told him that his comment really hurt my feelings, and then I hung up the phone. It has been more then a week and he still has not said sorry to me.

Please understand that I do not use the "N' word in front of him or talk down about my people.

We were such good friends, I had even asked him to be the godfather of my grandchild.

Please help
