This guy i dated from another state, he was nice when we dated which was a year and half ago, he was online one day and mentioned he would be in my town for work, i said let me know when youll be coming. He didnt let me know just called 3 months later leaving a message saying hes in town. I was at work, when i called he wasnt too friendly, he said he was at the hotel and that his friend is having a party in brooklyn-which is far from me, i said thats pretty far- he didnt offer a ride,,I just said well how long will you be here? He said 4 more days, i said well maybe Saturday is good he said yea ill call you, he sounded a little annoyed. He never called and i left a message for him each day he was here-he never called me back.
Did i do something wrong? I felt he may try and use me at the hotel, i didnt like the sound of it..
Whos wrong here?

It really bugs me. It's very distracting. I don't know if it's a nervous tick, a side effect from a drug, or just his personality but it's like being on a boat back and forth, back and forth. Ughhhh. How can I deal with this?

I just started working with a new company about 3 months ago. While I really like the company and my new job, my direct supervisor is incredibly annoying. He is pretty much your classic definition of dork. I get the impression that he doesn't have a lot of friends, and because I am only a few months younger than he is, he tries way too hard to "bond" with me. He's invited my husband and I over to his house for dinner (he's married as well). He's constantly prying into my personal life, asking me how I spent my weekend or evenings. It's his way of trying to forge a relationship with me, but I don't feel comfortable getting into the specifics of my personal life with him. When I tell him that my weekend was "fine", he presses the issue with more questions (i.e. "what did you do?") I want to be nice to him, since he's my boss, but I would much rather keep things professional. He means no harm by this, but I keep getting more and more annoyed with him. Any advice?

She asks inane questions, spends time discussing her childhood, and forces me to hug her after a chat about her personal issues and how they affect her treatment of people at work.

I have a hard time tolerating this at work, I really don't want to go to lunch with her. The only time we did go to lunch she tried to delve into my personal life and got upset when I politely steered the conversation away. I have been putting her off for about a month because I have been sick but she is getting extremely insistent.

How do I tell her no? Can I?

Also, she never asks the male member of our department to go to lunch or have these chats.

I get really annoyed with people who mumble! I often wish I could say to them, "Either speak up or don't speak at all!"

Is it OK for lovers if they hug, kiss, caress in public places. Yesterday, in a corridor of Mall I saw a boy kissing her g/f and his hands were everywhere in her body, he even pressed boobs. At that time, that corridor was not full of people, but still there were occasional by passer like me. I was thinking they can do this thing in some private place instead in full public glare. May be I am jealous for not having such guts to declare I am having Gal.

What do you think?

我很讨厌一个人。她以为自己很了不起。我应该怎么做？


I hate this person. She thinks that she is the vice-chairperson of the class and boast about. When it comes to duties such as cleaning the whiteboard, emptying the wastepaper basket, she never does that. She still has the cheek to say that she did her duty already, when in actual fact, my friend had to help her. When it comes to academic, she looked down on us, as if she is the class princess. What can I do?

Sometimes guys love to stare at girls breasts and azz... do they ever notice thatwhile doing that there's something bulging beneath their pants?

Now, tell me the truth, guys! If I stare at your crotch, do you feel highly offended?

went to a moderately priced restaurant that he suggested, at the front door he said, I don't have a penny on me. I was so upset at myself for not knowing this guy that someone introduced me to, and I was placed in an unusual situation. I had money on me, but should I have walked out or charged a meal and then just slip out to teach him a lesson?

HE asked me out, and he suggested the place, and no money? What would you have done?

What are the reasons why people never marry?

Is it because of mental health, health issues, wanting to be a spinster, or bachelor to complete freedom...........

Many people have told me that in the past. I'm depressed & crying right now. I'm @ home. But when I go to school, soon as I get around people, my eyes tear up. Lately, I've been avoiding going to class because I don't want anyone thinking I'm asking for attention or making a big scene. I'm in summer school in college right now, & I think I might have to just drop out. It's too much pressure for me.

The red dress if floor length, spaghetti straps, with a slit to the knee, and has floral appliques with slight beading. It's gorgeus. I don't know the bride at all, but it'll be a huge reception, at a country club.

I'm not talking about not replacing the word with something better. I don't want kids spouting the word all over the place, and I'm not asking to start using the f-word everywhere. What I'm wondering about is what covering up the word with "bleep" or in writing, **** does. Doesn't **** mean the exact same thing as the actual word? Even if you've never heard the word before, you can use context clues to figure out what it means. Parents can't stand to hear swearing in front of children, but 'bleep' is ok? What exactly is the difference?

Shouldn't we be censoring the meaning and context of the word, not the syllables and letters? If a kid doesn't realize that what goes in the place of the bleep is bad, they aren't going to notice if the real word is there, either. If anything, bleeps just draw attention to the subject. Does no one else think it's weird we're censoring letters instead of meaning? It's ok to talk about ****ing, as long as you don't say the word ****. It's ridiculous

My husband insists that most guys leave the toilet seat up. If guys should be courteous to ladies by putting the seat down then ladies should be courteous and leave the seat up for guys.

What are your thoughts on this?

Is it OK to say something to a selfish moron at the supermarket who wheels their trolley (um, maybe cart in the U.S.?) into the 10 items or less lane when they CLEARLY have WAY more than 10 items?

I'm not talking about people who have 12 or 15 items here, I'm talking about the obviously numerically illiterate who wheel on in with the full trolley with the weekly shop & expect that no one will care!

And if the cashier doesn't say anything & just starts blindly scanning can I say something to him/her along the lines of "Oh I see there are TWO people here today who can't count"?

It drives me insane! I hate the supermarket enough without having to wait 20 minutes to buy a carton of milk & a packet of gum because other people are all about themselves!

Ok team, a friend called an hour ago and left a message, instead of listening to the message I called her back. I begin the usual line of questions like, what up?
She replied, did you listen to your message?
I said no and she wasn't happy.

I believe with friends you can go either way (listen or call back)and for professional issues you should listen to messages first.

What do you think???
What's the correct ettiquette?
Would it be the same for a friend or client?

*Ugh* Today I had to deal with some random rude idiots, and I won't go into detail, but they angered me to the point that I wanted to physically retaliate against them. I hadn't felt that offended in a while, and I was so shocked, that I wanted to skip the cordials and go straight to punching them in the face... So my question is how do you, personally, handle random strangers you don't know who anger you to the point that you want to physically hurt them?... I swear I'm not emo, but sometimes these situations are really frustrate me and make me wonder why some people are allowed to breathe the same air as me.
