That's what happened to me today. I went to the mental health clinic today, & the nurse INTENTIONALLY said something to piss me off, & when I got mad & walked out of her office, she called the crisis team. When I told her boss what happened, she gave a fake apology, just to prevent from losing her job, but I know her negative opinion about me being psycho still stands.

How sould someone respond if someone else calls them good looking? Is it rude to say thank you? Would that give them the impression that the person they are complimenting is conceited and agrees with the statement?

BTW, This is a hypothetical question.

Are you even supposed to tip? I remember before I started driving, I'd go with some relatives to pick up their cars or something and they would always tip.. but the other day I tried to tip and they didn't accept and told me I don't need to tip people who work on your car. Is that true? If not, then how much am I supposed to tip??

How much would you tip a person who brings your food to your table and cleans up after you when you are finished, gets everything you need while dinning BUT you have to go pay the cashier yourself, and refill your own drinks?

I'm returning to work after being on medical leave. There is a person high up in management who shows a very insincere and faked interest in the workers, and only when she is forced to stand within a few feet of them. She will put on the act when ridng in the elevator, but otherwise walks right past and ignores them. At some point she and I will be on the elevator and I am dreading her excited "so how ARE you??" when really she couldn't care less. I'd like to say something like "aren't you kind for asking!" and not disclose anything. Is that polite enough? What else should I say? Or maybe I should go into every disgusting medical detail. What do you think?

What is the best way of getting out of being invited to sales party? Especially if they invite you personally, and you do not want to go because you do not want to be pressured into buying something? Should you be honest and say, " I don't want to go bc I don't want to buy anything?", or just lie and say you are busy?

What if the person is a relative or in-law?

It never ends..AVON, Mary Kay, Cutco, Pampered Chef...etc etc............If I went to all of them and constantly bought just "to be nice" I would go broke.

I just went to my college orientation, and the counselors made up this rule that whenever they shout "Go!" everyone has to run, and whoever gets into a room last has to do a dare. Once I was last, and they said I had to sing I'm a little teapot lol in front of everyone. When I got up, there was like 40 strangers there and for some reason, my jaw just started shaking SO bad I couldn't talk. It was REALLY weird, it was like my face was shaking so badly I couldn't even smile. The counselors finally sang for me and said I didn't have to do it. I'm mortified when I think of it, I bet everyone thinks I'm a freak. Is there any way I can deal with this? I mean sometimes my hands shake when I'm nervous, but not like my face...it happens when I feel everyone's eyes on me (it happened like 3 times during orientation).

I have an old knee injury that flares up every now and then, and as a waitress, it happens alot. I recently called into work saying I could not work, and I got treated very rudely. I came in with a doctors not, and I got more rudeness. I went in today to get next weeks schedule, and to find out if there was anyway I could not work tomorrow as scheduled, and once again I got treated unfairly. All this rudeness is from one manager, and she's just the assistant manager. What actions should I take? Should I quit and get on welfare (HAHA)? Just call in tomorrow? Call corprate or talk to another manager?

Last night I've seen an old acquaintence of mine from high school and when I was talking to him he was looking away from me and started talking to his other friends right when I was right in the middle of talking to him, plus he was acting kind of snobby and full of himself towards me.

How do I politely ask people I work with (there are only 2) to wash their hands, especially after coughing or sneezing? I am a cancer survivor, but I have a poor immune system due to the chemo/surgery/radiation. I get sick very easily. I don't want to sound like a hypochondriac, though.

Someone stole our water pipes last night at my job; therefore, our whole building is going to be left without water until sometime next week. That means no restroom or anything. Should I still be working right now or should I leave work early?

My husband won't take me to the Olive Garden because he thinks its not kid friendly and that we would be annoying other people. However, I see many families go there to eat. What is your view?

She is a 55 yr. old Mexican lady and has a 16 yr. old son. We were going to help her son order his school clothes online so they would be cheaper, but she is so mean now! I was talking to her kid outside about the clothes and she yelled really badly from inside at him about not talking to people.
She said hello to me before, but now she won't speak to me.
I have to live here in this apartment for at least 6 more months and now it's just uncomfortable. What should I do??

Suppose a person is asking for serious personal advice, there are always some people who take a completely, uncaring negative point of view and hurt the questioner.

For instance, I read a question where a person was asking for serious advice because his son came crying home wounded with bruises. Most of the people immediately offered positive helpful advice, but two or three people responded very negatively with responses like "you are a fool to believe your son's tall stories", or like "nobody cries for such sissy incidents" or like "your son could be possibly making up the wounds himself" etc.

Why do Yahoo Answerers take pleasure in writing stuff like that? I agree that criticism can be helpful, and sometimes turn out to be true. But can't people express their criticism in a polite and respectful manner - something along the lines of "I don't want you to feel bad, but i think your son is at fault..." or like "No offense to you, but.....think about it"
