Kind of a grey area here where touching another persons property may be the correct response...or is it?

My uncle is being ordained as a Catholic Bishop in September, and not having been raised Catholic myself, I have no idea what an appropriate gift is.

...then regretted it the next day and seriously thought about stopping payment on your check?

I was at this fund-raiser last night, and wrote a check for $500 because everyone else was giving money and I felt pressure and now I regret it and want to stop payment on my check.

But yet I will be embarrassed if they report to everyone that I stopped payment on my check. It's like I can't win!

Has this ever happened to you? What did you do? What would you do if you were in this situation?

confront the person in a diplomatic way..."i heard what you had said about me...and it is false.."...will the talk just STOP...if you confront in a nice way?????..Of course the girl will deny it or ask where did you hear that from...and you politely say.."I'd rather not say...but i did hear it from a good source"...will the crap STOP???!!! ( i DO FEEL it is jealousy)...which there is no need for that...

When you shop at a store, no matter what kind, what do you expect from the cashier? What does a cashier do or don't do that angers you? Why? And do you complain? To those of you that do or have complained, do you do so to cause the cashier to lose their job?

I'm not asking for what you would "think," I'm asking for what you "do"

Me, I would just normally look away and pretend I didn't see that person staring at me or if there's a wall nearby, I would just hide myself behind that wall. Anways, what would you do? Would you go up and talk to that person?

Ok recently i discovered I am kind of a nudist -kind of as in i like being naked just not around people i dont know- ive talked to my best friend about my decision to go naked now around my house and he thinks that this is a great idea cause he sees i enjoy it and it makes me happier, but he doesnt want me to be naked when hes over hanging with me. That may sound like not a big deal but to me it is.I asked him if i could go naked and he said no. I asked if i could just wear boxers and he said no. I asked if i could go shirtless and he said no. I think its ok for guys to not be fully clothed all the time. In the locker room we change and sometimes shower, at the pool were shirtless/ haf naked, and if were outside and its hot alot of times we take are shirt off. My friend says that we have reasons during those times tho but i dont see how that makes a difference, your still seeing a guy not fully clothed. He says its uncomfortable for him to see a guy naked anytime and its even

In the line at Target today this lady asked me if I was having a girl and rubbed my stomach. She didnt even ask if it was ok or anything. She looked like she was pretty far up there in age, so I didnt want to be disrespectful and let her have it. I just said yes and let the man behind me go before me.Anyway, is this acceptable? I dont think it is obviously,but has it ever been?

Maybe I come off as a cheapskate but i live about 30 min out of town and when I have to catch a taxi home, I often ask around to where people are going if they want to share.
Is this rude?
Surely I could be doing them a favour as well as myself.
I have gotten home before on 10 dollars instead of 40.
But people being people, often look at me like I'm asking them for a lift home in their car or something.

Do americans not do this? Ive seen a couple of things where they cringe at drinking straight from the tap. i practically live off tap water.
is it not safe to drink there? where else do you get water from? buying bottled water must cost a fortune.
i normally just turn the tap on and drink from the stream of water if i cant find a cup. would you not normally do that?

but why do some women like to use the husband's whole name - like a woman married to a guy called Edward Arnold calling herself Mrs. Edward Arnold as though she has no identity of her own. It seems weird to me.

My friend works at a hospital and she has access to local anastecis. We have been talking about her bringing it home and then giving me a local needle then cutting off the mole. I don't have health insurance and the doctor said he would charge me $1300 for the procedure. Its on my back and its getting bigger and starting to bother me when i sit down.

My friend has no problem pulling the mole and taking a razor blade to it. I consulted my doctor about it. He said it isn't cancerous but should most defintely be removed by a professional. He also said if I do it anyway, which he strongly advises not to, then I shopuld go and see him for a follow up to make sure it does not get infected. i think he just wanted my money. He charges $80 for a non-insurance visit. Most other doctors in my area do the same.

So whats your opinion? Am I nuts?

a 50th anniversary "party?" I am a man, and I am extremely used to going barefoot - I have gone barefoot in my home as well as in public places (the classroom, libraries, restaurants, bars, theatres, museums, etc.) for the last 10 years, and I would say I have not worn footwear for over 99% of the last decade. Bottom line is, I am ALWAYS uncomfortable wearing closed-toe footwear. As I said, business casual is allowed, if not encouraged at this function. Only the couple celebrating and their immediate family will probably be dressed fully formally. As for the ladies, I know that many, perhaps the majority, will be wearing "dressy" open-toe footwear, and some will be wearing "dressy" flip-flops. I will be in business casual, and I told my parents I had intended on wearing my "dressy" (brown leather, on sale for 30$, NOT plastic/rubber) flops. They completely lost it, and yelled at me that I was selfish and without consideration of the feelings of others. I was taken aback by this
