My cousin is visiting this country for a week. My aunt and her daughter who have not been very friendly to me for ages arranged to bring him to my house around 2 o'clock for a chat. They arrived at 5 o'clock and were gone within 20 minutes!
I don't blame my cousin as he was not driving but I am very dissapointed. They just said they got delayed earlier but still needed to rush home early. They did not even have a drink. What would you think of this?

I asked a question about my weight and got replies like "stop eating shamu." I was just blown away by the rudeness I saw.

I had been on a music discussion board. Me and another guy were arguing against a bunch of others on some trivial point. The argument got quite heated and insults started flying (mostly against the guy I had sided with). We eventually won the argument. He said "I'm sure you're white but you're now an honorary n****r". This gave me the impression that my friend was black. There were metaphorical howls of protest at this "insult" (lots of scolding in capital letters) but I remain convinced that it was intended as a compliment and I gratefully accepted it as such. Comments or opinions please?

I've always been curious what others think about this, if you are on a date with someone and you are picking up the check and notice that the waitress/waiter overcharged you on something would you call it to their attention to be corrected in front of your date? Does this make you look cheap on the date? Or, if you were the date how do you think you would respond, verbally or mentally? Thank you for your time.

I've noticed that more people spell it wrong than right and it's a real pet peeve of mine. If the word is a contraction (shortened version of two words), it needs an apostrophe. I know doctors and lawyers that misuse this

Firstly, I would like to thank you for opening this and taking time out of your schedule to bother with little old me. I really appreciate it.

Now on with the question! My boyfriend recently went to Australia and brought me a beautiful flower necklace back for me! He gave it to me recently when we went out on a date to the movies.

Now I was wondering what the ettiquette for this situation would be. Am I supposed to give him a return gift? And if so, what should I get him?

Once more, thank you for your time and I am looking forward to all of your responses.

Thank you,

♥ Alley ♥

I can't standing eating with my dad, every time he's done, he has to start sucking his teeth!! It drives me mad!! I just gave up trying to get used to it, so I always eat in a different room. But I'm serious, sometimes I'm in my room and I can hear him doing it all the way in the living room!! I just want to go down there and scream in his face "Ahhh". I wouldn't do that though, lol, I respect him. But jeez, here's an idea, brush your teeth. I just want to know if there's anyone who has to put up with this kind of situation, what do you do?

When I ask a simple and tasteful question? I don't take offense at this...I am just curious what people think.

They are a retired couple who are really into their lawn-and it's nice. But I am a single woman who works 12 hour night shifts. Also this year I went on vacation in May and had pnuemonia in June (doubt they knew I was sick). So my yard got kind of shaggy for a while. I'm getting it back into shape now but I noticed they quit speaking to me now. At first I thought they didn't see me wave or I was too far away but yesterday the man was ten feet away and I called "Hi!" but he didn't even look up.
Does a raggedy lawn justify the cold shoulder?

I notice a lot of restrooms, especially ones at eating establishments, have absolutely no hot water. All the employee must wash hands notices are posted everywhere and then the water is freezing cold. Why are there so many restrooms with no hot water?

I'm missing the joke here. There are a lot of questions with "whatever" in it. Why and what does it mean?

I can't understand what he is saying, but I am too polite to tell him I can't understand him because of his accent. I know he's asking me a question, but I don't want to say yes to anything that I don't understand. Please answer quickly, I think he is getting impatient with me.

When you are in a public restroom (or at a party, or anything of the sort,) and you are wearing a belt, is "bad" to buckle your belt when you are out of the stall? Should you always buckle your belt before you leave? Give any exceptions you can think of at the moment, too, please.

P.S - This obviously doesn't apply to urinal use, that is of another question.
