My dad asked me fly down south to spend Christmas with him and his family. For the past couple of years I've made up excuses but this year I'm running out! The real reason is, I can't stand being around my step brothers and sister. They treated me and my brother very badly when we were children/teenagers, so as soon as we were old enough to move away from home, both my brother and I shot through as quick as we could.

I had Christmas with them about 5 years ago, but being around them dug up too many bad memories, also my step brothers and sister huddled up together in their usual clique and I felt like an alien that had just landed on their roof.

Dad is really keen for me to come and he would be very disappointed if I did not. But I really dont think I could stand seeing my step siblings again.

Would someone help me choose some polite words to refuse?

Thanks.

I work with an Indian lady (not native american, but originally from India) she is constantly telling me and other co-workers about how good her culture is, and how messed up the American culture is. She has no respect for my family because I was raised by a single parent....she criticizes that, and says families like that are always messed up. How can I shut her down without being disrepectful to my co-worker....Intelligent and educated answers only. I probably could tell her to go back to India, or why is she here- but that would be childish

I am sitting in the library at university and someone next to me is typing and is irritating the hell out of me. Sometimes typing doesn't annoy me but sniffling or the constant sound of one snorting in their snot just aggravates me. It must be the way she is typing or something. And why can't she just get a friggen tissue? Has anyone ever had this problem before?

Recently my Uncle sent out invitations to a surprise 65th birthday party he is organizing for my Aunt. The invitation included the menu from the restaurant where the party is being held and requested that the guests send 20 pounds each with their RSVP to cover the cost of their meal. We live in Canada and thought this was the tackiest thing we'd ever heard of - our feeling was that if you're going to invite people to a party that you should pay for everything......We wondered if this is something that is considered normal and socially acceptable in the UK or if it's really as tacky as we think it is and if my Aunt is going to be totally humiliated when she finds out what he has done. Could you Brits tell me your opinion on this one?

I work at an EXTREMELY fashionable clothing store, and I mean EXTREMELY fashionable. I am faced with a rather DISGUSTING problem at work that has caused me CONSIDERABLE STRIFE with my supervisor and clientele.

Namely, we have had at least four recent "Alli" related accidents in our stores, including two different ladies who DEMANDED to use our restrooms, even though they are not for the public. You may be aware that the fat blocker Alli has a side effect that causes those who exceed their fat quotient to have EXTREMELY URGENT AND SEVERE DIARRHEA When I said no to the one today, she SCREAMED at me and told me that she was on Alli, had a cheeseburger for lunch, told me to SHUT UP, barreled past me and ran for the bathroom.

Two recent accidents have happened in the dressing rooms as well, and some of our merchandise has been ruined as a result. My boss SCREAMED at us today and told us the next time there is an "ALLI-OOPS" in the store, someone is getting fired, looking at me!

I created a baby registry mostly so my mom would know what to get, since we don't live in the same state. A few friends have asked if I'm having a shower & I've told them I'm not. I feel awkward mentioning that I have a registry because I don't want to come across as rude or presumptious, like i'm expecting a gift. Should I mention it, maybe in an email, or send them the link to it?

I'm hosting a backyard BBQ and I will have a volleyball net up in my backyard for the occasion. Besides providing plenty of food, booze, and the volleyball game, are there any other good ways I can make sure my guests will be entertained? Or do you think the volleyball net is enough of a diversion?
