And if so, HOW insulting? I am only looking to use the word "temptress" to refer to my last girlfriend on my MySpace profile. This is not meant to insult her, it is only in the context of "I am working on some projects I have neglected in favor of my most recent temptress". No further details. Will this hurt her?

Seriously, what is the fanciest way to say this? Say you're at a fancy dress party and you have this urge to say it. How would you?

With reference to your telephone conversation on the 21 March with my colleague Jeremy Dundole, thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns regarding our continence products. All concerns are important to TENA and we welcome the opportunity to address the issues you have raised.

I am sorry to hear about the problems you have experienced recently with the TENA disposable pull-up range. TENA are the leading supplier of hygiene products for bladder weakness and faecal incontinence here in the UK, we find it deeply disturbing that your pad unexpectedly exploded while doing you shopping leaving you covered in faeces. We are sincerely sorry. We can only speculate on how unpleasant it must have been for you and the shoppers around you.

After a lengthy investigation we could not find any sufficient evidence to say our product was to fault. We can not take any responsibility.

We suggest you use a more absorbent undergarment as our adult disposable pull-up may be unsuitable for your chronic faecal incontinence. We recommend you try our TENA SLIP all-in-one nappy for added security. As a gesture of good will we will send you a packet of our TENA SLIPS as soon as possible.

Should your encounter any more problems with your incontinence pads exploding again please get in touch as soon as possible Mr Brown on the number above or email me at jenny-dribbles@hotmail.co.uk

Yours sincerely,


Jenny Dribbles, Customer Care Team

Would it make you mad, sad, or would you feel indifferent?

Cats, dogs, etc. If you talk about eating a dog, people gross out. In Ecuador, they eat fried guinia pig for crying out loud! Why we do that? I aim to get to the bottom of this.

I work at an EXTREMELY fashionable clothing store at the mall. Now to make a long story short, my daddy sent me to a charm school for spoiled young ladies several months ago, and one thing they taught us was to end each interchange with "thank you and good day" However, one of my customers told my boss she thought I was being condescending with the WAY that I said it and said I sounded like an OLD POMPOUS BRITISH man (her words not mine, no offense to our friends across the POND). My boss just told me to say "have a nice day", but that just seems insincere to me so I told her that and she said the problem is more of the WAY that I say it not really that I say it and that I AM A BIG GIRL (age not girth, mind you) and I should be able to figure out these things. Personally I think "have a nice day" is wrong and "thank you and good day" is better. My daddy has recommended I ADAPT to the situation and do what my boss says? Should I change for my sensitive customers? TYAGD!

What is your response to that unfortunate person?
What do you actually do?
Please if the jokers who hover over some questions, like buzzard over carrion, spare me from having to hear something of great sadness, being mocked!

I was eating out at a chinese restaurant and took out a bottle of fruit punch out of my backpack to drink. My friend then tells me to put it away because it is appropriate only to drink beverages that the restaurants supply.

Here's one for you - if you found a camera on the street with no obvious owner - you didn't see who dropped it!
So you take it home
But then you look at the pictures on it and find that they are important party pictures such as a Christening or an Anniversary
Would you give it back?
And how would you give it back without an address?

I went to get blood tests taken today, & the receptionist was really bitchy. Having a bad attitude & telling me what I should've done in a rude way, & then when I explained why I couldn't get certain things done, she just straight IGNORED the piss out of me. & not only that, she was too lazy to replace gloves in between clients. She used the same right hand glove on the girl before me as she used on me & she used her bare hand (the left hand) & I think I saw blood on the glove with the right hand, but it may have not been blood. I was afraid that if I told her something about it, she probably would've gotten 10 times more rude. & she was so lazy that after she Xeroxed my photo ID, she asked me to spell my name, rather than just simply looking on the Xeroxed copy. & she tried to make fun of & insult my name.

I got it through the mail and I ordered it for Mothers Day because it is engraved with my sisters and my names. Anyways, after 3 calls it finally came a couple of days ago. Its not perfect and I am tempted to send it back. (Its $90) Well my mom is coming over today because she lives out of town and unfortunately I see her like once every other month!! I wanted to give it to her......but Im tempted to get the problems fixed. They are nothing major, Im a perfectionist especially when Im spending that kind of $$$. Anyways my point is....what would you do???

Should I?.....
a) give it to her anyways
b) send it back and wait another 6 weeks to get it back
c) show it to her and then send it back.

My sisters chipped in on it so its $30 a piece. Whot would you do in this situation??

Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches.

I was at Target with my husband, we picked up one item and were ready to check out. There was a lady with her child talking to another lady with her child. There was a cashier standing behind the ladies, waiting for one of them to be ready to check out. They ignored the cashier, as well as us. The cashier asked us if we were ready to check out. The lady snapped out of her conversation, turned around and said, "Me! I'm next!" Then looked our way and gave a fake "Sorry!" with a stupid smile. The cashier appologized, and told us we could check out at the photo center, which was nearby. My husband said, in a volume loud enough for everyone to hear, "You're not sorry, b*tch." And we went to the photo center to check out, the whole time, the lady and her friend stared at us like they wanted to jump us in the parking lot or something. She followed us outside, and started shouting at us. We just ignored her, got in our car and left. Why are people so crazy nowadays?

There has been a huge amount of debate lately regarding the rights of breastfeeding mothers and the fact that they should be allowed to breastfeed in public - what do you think? Should this be allowed or should mothers use private facilities?
