I screwed up royally as a room mate. I forgot to clean and I ate some of my room mates food while she was away on vacation. I replaced the food. I've done my chores. But now she says you can't use anything that's mine. She won't even let me use her tv now even though there's only room for one tv in our apartment. What can I do to help patch things up?

Like when a really attractive 16 year old approaches you or passes you buy and are wearing very provacative clothes. Do i just look the other way and ignore them which is what i do, just ignore it, or tell them to something?

I was thinking about having my daughter's fourth birthday party at a local water park. They have party packages that are reasonable but it doesn't include admission for the guest or the guest parent. The admission is $6 per child and $8 per adult. Am I responsible for paying their admission? And if so just the child invited or parent also? And how do I state it on the invitation without being offensive? Also, I don't mind the invited child bringing siblings, but I don't feel that I should have to pay for them - is that reasonable? I don't want to seem cheap, but I don't want to go broke either.

For example I say flumbuggy instead of the "F" word! What are other cute...or not so cute...ways to replace swear words.

petrified and were calling for someone to help. no one even looked up from their dinners. the waitstaff also acted as if nothing was happening. my daughter was getting no air at all. she almost passed out. one of her friends stood behind her and was going to attempt the "heimlick" , when she finally got some air , but continued coughing . she is home now, but her throat and chest are very sore. my question is this - i want to report this incident to someone, but have no idea whom to contact. i am so angry , i can hardly see straight to write this question. i am a waitress and the one time someone started to choke when i was on the floor, we immediately called 911 after we all tried to help our customer. please help !!!

I know people have discussed that it's perfectly okay to have each person pay for their own meal and drinks, and chip in collectively for the bride. However, my friends insist that you have to split the bill evenly, and that is proper etiquette. However, I disagree because I think that the bulk of the bill ends up being alcoholic beverages, which I can't drink. In the end, they're making out pretty well. I personally think if anything, it's bad etiquette to expect someone to front the bill (excluding the bride's tab) for their meals and drinks, especially in the case, where a person doesn't/can't drink Can anyone enlighten me here and tell me whether my way of thinking is correct or what. Also, how am I supposed to tell them that I can't afford to do that when it's automatically expected as "proper etiquette"?

I recently moved out of the apartment I was cohabiting with my boyfriend of 1 year and 8 months. We have had rocky times and great times, so it is an average relationship until recently. His mother is a hypochondriac and she hurts me by using rude remarks alot and getting away with it. I confronted my bf to tell him I felt in the shadows because of it and we argued so much that it had to crumble. However, a microscopic aspect of the core of our problems lies in communication. We spoke online about maybe making up and trying again without his mum in our minds which seemed fair enough as our love is still strong. But today I bought him a spare ticket to a concert to which he didn't say thankyou for. I had to ask him if he was going to in order for him to say it, and it occurred to me that this happened alot during the rocky times to cause arguments. I asked him if he was uncaring and he just said 'maybe' and challenged me by cussing me. Is it my own high expectations? Am I wrong? :(

I got stuck yet again today by an elderly person on my block who wanted to tell me all about the good ol' days. I kept saying, "well I'll let you go" and starting to walk away, but he didn't get the hint and kept talking. This has happened to me mulitiple times with different people (especially seniors). Sometimes I just don't have all day to talk. Advice??

Me and my friend go to this taco place to eat all the time and his meal is always more expensive, we always order the same thing. me-burrito and coke +half the cost of chips and salsa=6 dollars
him-taco dinner, horchate-rice milk, half chips and salsa=14 dollars
He didnt have any money with him, or just wanted to pay in one bill so I lent him the money and he hasnt paid me back in two weeks or so. How can I remind him politely, preferably write out what I can say and copy and paste it into his instant messenger window.

First, it's wasteful. Second, don't they realize it makes it harder for people who are walking or otherwise need to use the sidewalk?

Do you think it matters whether you eat your dinner while your watching tele, or do you think everybody should be seated around the table as a family? Me, husband and kids are really close and in tune with each other but can't eat together as he gets home too late from work, and the kids need feeding as soon as I get in from work. We have a family meal at Christmas though.

people at the "10 items or less" fast check out lane get all the way through with their items and THEN start making out and writing a check!!? Like the name of the damn STORE is gonna change in the time it takes you to get all your items scanned. Plus, with the technology we have these days, some stores will scan your check and fill it in for you, plus you can just swipe a credit/debit card. Why WHY do people insist on holding up other BUSY people?

by the way, thanks for the rant. :)

I worked for a bank once whose branch managers would issue warnings to counter staff who were caught chatting to each other while serving customers. I see it all the time - mostly in supermarkets.

I am NOT talking about ripped jeans, or baggy jeans. I am talking about a really nice pair of blue jeans, or a brand new pair of black jeans and a dressy top. My mother is insisting that it is wrong, and that I have to dress like I am going for a day at the office, in business office style slacks or a business/prudey looking dress.

The party is in a casul type of restaurant.

For instance, how can I be sure the appropriate people will receive it and how much should I leave for, say, a three-day stay?

My husband and I are friends with two other couples, A and B. Sometimes couple A will invite couple C on outings without asking if it's okay with us or couple B. The problem is that couple A is the only couple that gets along with C - the rest of us can't stand them! Is there any (polite) way we can ask that couple A stop including couple C?
