I have a friend who works at CVS. They always give him a hard time when he asks for earlier hours or less hours because they do not want to give them to anyone else. Needless to say, the rest of the workers he works with are crap.This week is our college finals, and they expect him to work until 10 when he told them at the beginning of last week that he need to be out early to study.The manager who made the schedule gave him b/s, saying he cannot grant everyone's requests of early days or no work days. I think it's a crock of bull. They always make him do things they don't want to do like he's their slave or something. He was planning on taking summer classes, but is afraid that since they did this to him this semester, they will do it again next semester, when all the little highschool kids "can't work". Is there any action he can take for this situation, and how would he write his 2 week notice without making it sound bad or rude? Thank you so much in advanced!!

My mom and I bought some red cross bags and shirts and hats and breathing masks and all sorts of nifty little trinkets a couple months ago, maybe February or March. ( My mind is playing tricks on me so sorry if the spelling is incorrect.) Well, we bought a bunch of stuff. It is still not here, so we are not sure what we should do! Should we call them and ask what is up, or should we just forget about it. I mean, we paid for it so it would be a waste so. I don't really know, what do you all think. Don't be afraid to leave long answers. I have nothing but time.

Thanks all!

Sometimes when I am on a bus or subway, I try to give my seat to older people, men and women. I've noticed a lot of times, men seem shocked by this and refuse the seat. I also like to open doors for people because I was always taught that it's courteous. Some men flat out refuse to have a woman hold a door for them, though. Is this an issue of pride? Do you like women to do chivalrous acts back to you, or do you think it's weird?

It's not intentional- my mind is usually just racing ahead during the conversation and before I realize it, I've done it again- interrupted someone while they were speaking. What are some ways to stop myself?

What's the deal with backing into parking spaces. I'm not referring to parallel parking, which is properly done by backing in. I mean in a regular parking lot at the supermarket or the mall. It takes more time and effort to back in, and it is no issue at all to back out of a spot.

So, all you back-in-ers out there, what's your story?

tell my boss he is a big gay wanker! I am scared though of being labelled a homophobe as he is a HIV positive gay man. He is definately a nasty piece of work though. Yesterday I brought myself to burning an ephagy of Liberache on his front lawn. I am really unsure about saying how I feel to his face though - what would you do?

Have you ever had one of those horrible days, where you were trying to park,in a space,and you were backing into the space..(as there was a space in front of you,and a space behind you),and you were trying to back into the space behind you, so as to get into that first space, when here comes a person who never bothers to look and just zooms right on into that space that you were trying to park into!! (and get this, when you tell him this,and that you could have easily crashed, he replies right back at you"that was a great spot, you have to admit!! Right!?!!" and wears this insanely happy grin on his (*&&^%) little face!!!(which in truth , you would actually love to smack it right off of him!!!!)as he walks on ahead of you! He has NO regards for the possible dangers that he put both of you in!...sad isn't it??!!!???

and what about you all, anything like this episode happen to anybody here?(this happened to me,and my hubby, this year, after Christmas!)

Background info: I own a unit in a small group of 10 in a nice quiet neighbourhood. I have completed renovations about 6 months ago which meant there was some nuisance noise (always within legal hours). To apologise for the inconvenience I bought the neighbour attached to my unit a bottle of bourban as a bit of a peace pipe.
Since I have moved into the unit though, I'm getting very frustrated with him. Hi gets up at work at 5am and clobbers past my bedroom window to get to his car. There is a designated path for that unit to get to the common driveway and carpark, but he chooses to walk over my garden and directly in front of my unit to cut time. I get woken up every morning! Any suggestions on how to let him know it's tiring! I've planted some plants and shifted some rocks at the edge of his verandah, but now that just means he something to jump over! AAAAhhhhh I'm so tired!
I also don't believe it's a matter for the police!!! thanks for any advice :)

how can yahoo take away delete your answer when there is no violation? someone asked us to answer their home work and I said I love the way people on here think we will do their homework. I think that when someone falsely accuses somebody then they should look at the reason and if the person who did the accusing should loose double points. I know this is a stupid game but it makes me mad.

I have been living with my boyfriend for 4 yrs and we have a 2 yr old and a 7 month old. We have not wanted to get married up until this point for various reasons but now we are ready. I want to send out engagement announcements but am paranoid that maybe its not a big deal to others since we already live together. Can I still send out engagement announcements?

I just noticed that my neighbor across the parking lot was on the phone with someone giving them the blow by blow of what I was doing. My apartment isn't directly across from hers but my garage is. It's not unusual for me to be in and out of my garage as late as 12:30am on Monday morning because I have big yard sales on Sunday that take much time to clean up. However there has never been a complaint and I am very quiet and respectful. She does not know that I heard her on the phone. What I over heard was, "Now she's bringing things out of the garage..." I want to write her a note telling her off but maybe there is a better way to handle the situation what do you suggest?

my parents dont want me to spend time with my gf (which includes her coming over, me going over to her house, watching a movie, or just hanging out)...
so, to spend time with her, I have to think of some lies like "she need to come over to work on a school project" or saying that she wont be where i'm going..

...would those count as a good lie, or a bad lie?

I own/live in my own condo and rent out the spare rooms to my bro and a single mom (verbal month-to-month). The single mom has been getting intoxicated and being destructive to my property. Last weekend, she got drunk and slammed a door repeatedly, at 2 a.m., until it fell off its hinges and knocked a hole in the wall. This weekend, she got drunk, went on a bike ride and got high (with her 11-year-old left home alone while I was sleeping) and got in a fight with my bro (about the broken door) at 2 a.m. She ended up calling the police to end the dispute between the two. This morning she told me she was moving out. I need to know what kind of action I need to take to ensure that she actually does. She has severely worn out her welcome and I'd like to have her out as soon as possible. I worry about the condition of my premises and personal property due to her instability. I'm worried that she'll try trashing my stuff before she moves. Help me please!!!

Do you ask if they ARE kosher or if they KEEP kosher? I know what it is and all I just want to know the proper way to ask them. Please no harsh criticism for asking. . .
