The library branch that is nearest to us is very small. I has 5 full time workers, and a few casual that come and go. Our family have gotten to know the names of the librarians, and a bit about them (like one has a cat who is sick). We talk to them when we get our books, and that's about it.

Last week there was a new employee there, and when she was asked what her name is she said "I'd rather not say. That's a personal question." She seemed offended, and when it was explained to her that it's nice to be more personable, she said "I'd rather you not know my name or anything about me."

I really didn't think that was a personal question.

What do you think?

We traditionally give books as thank-yous, which is okay, but does anyone have an idea for something else, not organization-branded?

Have you ever been at a party or something and not had your bikini, and just stripped down to your bra and panties and gone swimming? I do it all the time and my friend thinks I am crazy!

or go about my biz? I dont know how she does not feel it, her butt is pretty much swallowing her pants! It's a horrible sight, to top it of her booty is flat as plywood. I noticed everyone else (especially the men) looking at it, and having a digusted look in their face.

If there was a girl at a local supermarket? Well why i ask because there was a girl who look like in her 20s and her thong was showing and everyone looked but no-one told her that her thong was showing! Now did she do it for people to get shock!! Or did just put on her jeans fast? Her thong was showing but her shirt was stuck to it.

I had 19 pictures including a video that I took of my children 2 years ago, in the internal memory. I was Very Specific about it; I told him that if he were to borrow the camera that he must not erase the pictures in the internal memory. To be certain he would not I went out and bought for him a chip to hold his own pictures. I made sure he knew how to use the camera. I know my camera, in order to erase a picture you must manually delete it. Well apart from the fact he told me that he would return the camera the following weekend, and didn’t for 5 weeks, when I finally received my camera he had erased the pictures in the internal memory. Instead of my pictures of my babies, there were pictures of his spider in its aquarium and of him karate chopping. I am pissed off, I told him that I was very upset about it and he said it was a mistake. A mistake? He mistakenly pressed delete, and when asked if he was sure he mistakenly pressed yes? Now he wants to borrow it to go on a trip and...

laughs out loud afterwards that it does not please me, (even though others in the restaurant laugh with her). I don't want to offend her and we really love each other. Should i just ignore it and laugh along with her?

This morning I was leaving work. the battery in my car died, I have jumper cables. I just needed someone to give me a jump. I asked 4 times if anyone could give me a jump before someone actually said yes. I dont understand. It just seems like people today are getting less and less likley to help . I would have been the first to jump up and say, I can give you a jump. what is with people in this world today. Ive worked with these people for 9 months. Immagine if I was a stranger and was stranded, lets say you are driving down the road and you pass a lady with 4 small children, stranded on the road. or you see an old lady at the store struggling with her groceries. How many people here would stop and help????
please give me some kind of hope for the human race today.

I'd like to know how to handle adults who are rude to me when my daughter (Who has Autism) is acting like a child with Autism.
I know she isn't perfectly well behaved, but certainly I cannot keep her locked in the house all the time.
In this instance we were at a grocery store to pick up just a few items. She also has sensory integration and became a little hyper, once I told her she could not have a toy doggy she started getting aggitated.
I took this as my cue to head for the door. Almost out the door and some rude, nosey woman told me that my child was "out of control and you need to be more diligent in teaching her appropriate public behavior."
I am hurt and saddened by the amount of adults who are rude and uncaring towards disabled children.
How should I react to this?
Besides wanting to show her what inappropriate bahavior really is :)

I was just wondering about that, because I have heard some people say that it is rude to announce when you are going to the bathroom.

I think it would be rude to stand up and declare, "Well, everyone I gotta piss! Where's the John?" Anything else similar to that could be included.

But I don't see anything wrong with saying, "Excuse me, I have to use the restroom."

I remember whenever I went to a restaurant with my sis and bro-in-law (he's works near Chicago) during my 3 months stay last year, the serveuse would never understand a drink "without ice" that's when we learn to say "No Ice" - c'mon that's SIMPLE English

Also, why are they so LOUD, pushy and have this general air of dimwitness and would be lost in their own backyard without a car and a compass.

And did you know I met so many who didn't knew how to operate an ATM machine (lol)

Do you understand now when I want my soda (another dumb American English word for soft drink), I want it "without ice" I am not going to say "No ice" to adjust to your IQ level?

I'm so upset!!! He said it was totally innocent and needed to use the bathroom and couldn't wait. So he went ahead and told her he was coming into pee and she was okay with it. I think its totally inappropriate but they both seem to be okay with it. Am I being irrational????

I recently found a wallet with several cards, photos and over $500 cash. I would like to return it but want to be guaranteed a reward of 20% or better. I will not be pleased with a simple "thank you" from the owner if I return it.

I was thinking of calling the owner (I has his name & number now) and telling him I have the wallet and insist on the minimum 20% reward. If he does not agree I will simply tell him he won't ever see it again.

The owner should realize how lucky he is a nice guy like me even found this to begin with and is only asking for 20%. If he is a genuine, decent person he should offer me 50%.

I'm just not sure I can trust the owners word if he agrees to the 20%.

Any suggestions?
