I am a rgular at an upscale local dining establishment, the owner in the midst of a friend and other regular clientele, said some very offensive comments regarding a "tab" from the PAST, and I do mean past, several months ago this incident took place, but needless to say this owner I feel illustrated no class or respect what would you do, speak your mind or say forget about and plant my interests at another place and take it as a lesson learned or what? how do I handle this?

if someone you just met asked you to come with them on a ride to the store, and when you got there, they handed you $76,000.00 and then just left, walked right out of the parking lot. . .and you never saw them again?

My MIL is throwing me a baby shower, but hasn't consulted me on anything. She has invited people I don't even know and didn't even inform me of who was invited/coming...I learned from other people. She didn't even tell me what time the shower is for. I feel like he shower has become about celebrating her becoming a grandmother rather than me becoming a Mom. It's alot of her friends I have never even met. Do you think this was wrong of her or am I over reacting? Also, besides the baby shower thing she keeps showing up at our new house with her hyperactive dog and letting her in and she drools on everything, terrorizes my cat, and poops in our grass and then we have to clean it up. Isn't this rude? Should I say something or let it go? I just feel it's rude to bring your animal into someone's house without asking and especially if they are going to make a mess. I want her to know how I feel about this stuff but I know she should be offended and I don't want things to be akward.

Lot's of times when I walk into a store with my boyfriend, it seems that people just have to stare at us. I am not usually a person that is easily annoyed, but when people just constantly stare at us, and have absolutely nothing to say, it annoys me so much. There was an employee in one store, hiding behind the merchandise, just watching us as we put things in the buggy. So I kindly walked over to him and asked him what the problem was, and he quickly starts stuttering, and acting as if he doesn't know what I am talking about. So we move on, and he seems to make himself appear in every section of the store that we go in. This of course is not the only situation, that has occured but it was the most recent one. Now this guy was possibly staring at us because he thought we would steal, but a lot of times I am wondering if this is a cultural thing where people find it ok to stare at people.

I have been signing emails and letters with just my initials both in messages to friends and professional associates. Is this OK, or are initials too informal for certain occasions?

Would it be disrespectful, for a guy to drive into a store parking on a hot summer day shirtless. He parks the car or truck puts a shirt on, and then goes in to the store to buy whatever he needs.

Next he walks out of the store and to his truck or car. He gets to his truck or car, and takes his shirt off. After he does that, he drives out of the store parking lot as normal.

It may sound like a pointless question, but I've seen guys do it before. (most guys hate sweating in a shirt) I wonder if it is rude to do it or not. Just wondering.

I strongly think that we need an adult section,, its because yahoo doesnt have strong enough censorship of questions or answer,,, and sometimes even the smallest thing about sex is being cancelled,,,, there should be an adult section,seriously because ppl ask crazy questions, me included,, i just realised this when someone pointed it out that not everyone is an adult here,,,,,,

I have sold and purchased several things on ebay and have always been very fortunate with everyone I have dealt with. Recently two items I sold were paid for quickly and I left possitive feedback and always post items the day they sell or the following morning so received items in good time. When I did not get feedback I emailed to check all was ok.

One person has acknowledged receipt of the item and indicated they are pleased with it via e-mail explaining they had been away, yet still she has not left any feedback!?

The other person has not responded atall.

Neither seem to regularly use ebay but both have left feedback for people in the past.

Its frustrating when people just dont bother - has anyone else had this problem? Maybe I should wait until I get feedback before leaving it for others but I'm happy to let people know I acknowledge and appreciate their efforts.

I made a mistake at work the other day. I missed the fact that there were 10 files attached to an email rather than just the 4 I saw. It is going to cause problems, but my boss might never have found out. I told her what I did and explained what problems it could cause, but I did not apologize for making the mistake in the first place. I've been at this job for less than 90 days and I'm worried that I may not have handled the situation well.

Please don’t judge, but I do drugs sometimes, but have been cutting down a lot on the times I do, so now it’s probably one night out a month.

My boyfriend and I had planned a very rare day for just the two of us, but he then decided to throw a party for a friends birthday the night before. I said that was fine, but I would stay home because I didn’t want to take anything as the next day was v important to me. This party was for a non close friend, and only 7 people came. In my mind it was just an excuse to get off our heads, which is why I didn’t want to go. He said if I wasn’t bothered to travel to his for the party then he wouldn’t see me the next day. So I went, and altho I’d said I didn’t want to take anything, my bf started guilt tripping me saying things like “I can’t FORCE you to have fun” and just making me feel rubbish for not wanting to. So I did. I wanted to go to bed at 3am, but he coaxed me into staying up until 6am. Then I had to go to bed.

plans? I invited my friends daughter on an outing (she's 9), and my friend said yes, thanks. This was a week before we were going. Two days before we were meant to go, I checked with her about it, and she said "oh, no she's not going now sorry, I made plans for her to go to my mom's house to sleepover". Is this rude, and would I have the right to say something? Last time this happened, she was messing me around for nearly a week before I got a straight answer out of her. Also, I'd left the day free last week to go, and turned down other invites because I thought I had plans, do you think I should speak up now?

MY boyfriend and I were on our way home from a weekend in Cornwall and had decided that we would meet up with a couple friend of ours on the way home. They were out having a meal and we were going to join them for a drink. I fell asleep in the car and when I woke up it was 9pm and we still hadn’t reached our friends. I asked my boyfriend if we could leave it, as by the time we got there, had a drink and got home it’d be past midnight, that I was really tired and had work in the morning and needed to iron some clothes. He just went off on a rant and shouted at me, no we couldn’t cancel the plans. I said it would be OK cos they were out together, and would understand that we’d got caught in traffic. He just ignored me and glared at me and said “we’re going. End of”.

When we got there, he jumped out of the car and slammed the door, I followed him into the restaurant and when we got to the door I said “please don’t be in a mood...
