She calls me and asks me for a favor (fix something, lift something,etc.) and then offers coffee or a glass of tea as a reward. All this is during the work day while her husband is at work. I made the mistake of doing it a few times and now I need to stop it. She is very attractive and I think she is flirting a lot, or maybe since I'm 20 years older than her, she is just not aware of it. Help!

I'm just courious what others think about the spelling police and the belittle people. Why do YOU think they are out there? Lets see how many belittle people come out of the woodwork from this question.

belittle: make seem less significant: to reduce or dismiss the importance or quality of somebody or something.

I live in apartment and my upstairs neighbors are sooooooo loud. I know living in apartment comes with some noise.. but this is seriously ridiculous! There are two ladies above me, both very very very heavy, and they stomp around the apartment at all hours of the day. I have a infant who needs to sleep, and these huge women have woke her up on many occasions. I'm not really sure how to resolve this issue due to the fact the reason they are so loud is because the are so heavy, but I'm sick of headahes the give me and that my child hardly gets a full nap when they are home. What should I do?

Is that completely wrong, should I find something else to wear.

I had twins and am still not to my original size and very few of my nice clothes fit.

I took a part-time position as a customer service rep working nights. It is for a small company therefore, there are only two of us working in the evening. Both of us night people were given a key for the building. My boyfriend also works there, however, he works there during the day in the warehouse however, he works full-time. My co-worker has previously expressed his desire to advance to a supervisory position but, he seems to be acting like it minus the title. When we are leaving for the night, my boyfriend comes to pick me up, well my Co-worker will not leave until he makes sure we are walking out the door. A week ago, I was shutting down my computer and my Boyfriend was standing there waiting for me to shut down and the co-worker is standing at the light switch telling us to hurry up. He then turned the light off on us and then turned it back on. My boyfriend said out loud don't we have a key to lock up, and I replied yes. He's done several other similar things in the past.

This is inevitable when I eat cupcakes. People call me a pig for this, even do it's very difficult to avoid doing so, and cleaning my face with a napkin is too tough! I really need advice. Thanks!

Last week my neighbor woke up to a naked man in her house that wouldn't leave. She called the cops and he turned out to be a drunken neighbor of ours that had confused the homes. What do we do now when we see him around the neighborhood?

i have found rather very very obscene Indian Blog and questions & answer forums and decided to discontinue my membership from them. Keep it up Yahoo. Everything here is respectable in Yahoo.

They make it seem as if they would have never done what you did or have never done what you did. It is so annoying like they think they are above you.

My god. Someone ralphed in the stairwell in my apartment complex and it hasn't been cleaned up for a couple of days. I've never smelled anything so gross! It's a good thing my stomach was empty or I would have lost my lunch. Sour milk is a close second to this.

You know the one: She stands and recounts highlights of her life and weekend and morning, and laughs a lot as she recounts it. -- Even as it is pulling you down to earth and making you want to scream.

How do your handle her? We're at work. I only know her from work. I don't consider her a friend. How can you make her go away?

Cos i really like wearing speedos swimming trunks (the bikini type) when going swimming in public pools. Im not trying to sedduce anyone but worried others might think that i am. and for your opinion, do those speedo swimming trnks make guys look gay? I love wearing them cos i just really feel comfortable wearing it, it feels so natural and light. And i feel proud of my body so im comfrtable in them. Im 20, and i have a body of a model. and women compliment me for my skin tone. But do you think i offend other people's senses when i wear them? i've never heard of any unpleasnt comments while wearing them but im worried people might be talkng behind my back. and i dnt want to appear impolite or ianappropriate to others. tnx

Some times I could screen with fustration. I have been at my current job now for over 7 months and I feel like I no how to do my job pretty well now. However my work colleague who I work with acts although she is my boss. OK she has been here for a whole year longer than me, but does that give her the right to give me tasks to do? If she were to ask me to do a favour for her, I would happily do it, but I have a problem with being told what to do. Now that our real boss is on holiday- she sees this as an even bigger opportunity.

Am I being silly?

In my neighborhood people routinely throw their garbage right down on the sidewalk and walk away. Even if there's a trash can within view! It makes me really crazy; I often pick up garbage and litter that isn't mine and throw it away because it bothers me so much. How could you say something to the person from the point of view of trying to kindly educate them as opposed to making them mad? I'm sure not all of them are jerks, but I don't want an ugly confrontation, just a better way to deal with it.
