There was a time when everyone was addressed by Miss, Mrs., Ms or Mr. as a matter of courtesy. Now, the only times news media use titles is after the person is dead and can no longer appreciate the courtesy.

The lone exception is teachers, who are still Miss or Mrs., but instead of Miss Fisher or Mrs. Brown, they're Miss Anne or Mrs. Martha.

what would be be and why? I would like to to have the skill to use a sling shot or pellet gun why cos we have two kids that have been playing out the back all day with a kazoo and have been blowing it like mad all day, they have been asked to stop (not by me) and their response was f**k off (lovely kids all of about 6!) I'd like to sit on my balcony with the sling shot and aim soggy bits of tissue at them (well I would like to aim something else but you know what trouble I'd get in!), and splat them on the side of the face!!!!!

Our new school year is about to start, and I'm hoping to get this right this year!
How are parents supposed to address kid's teacher in elementary school? In Kindergarten, it was Mr/Ms/Mrs all round, parents & teachers addressed each other formally.

In the last year, the teacher introduced herself to parents as Ms. Smith at back-to-school night. I always addressed her as Ms. Smith,but she used parents first names in emails/in person!
It is not a big deal, I guess. But, I'd like the addressing to be "equal",so I don't feel like a kid in class when helping out in the new room this year, she calling me 'Carol', and me addressing her 'Mrs. Wong'.... In fact, I just dont' want to call my kid's teachers by their first name...

Any social cues to look out for, other than directly asking how do I address you?
If the teacher was on the older side & grandma-ish then I could understand it perhaps, but not when they are about my age!

What does anyone have to say that is so important that they need to gab on the phone while going 70mph? It should be illegal. They are accidents waiting to happen

Well the other day I went to an amusement park, and me and my friend went on the ferris wheel. While we were waiting in line there was a group of people in front of us. And not trying to be mean they were sort of trailer trashy looking. But anyway when we got on the got on the seats that were before ours. So while the ferris wheel was moving, at certain points we were level with eachother right next to each other.

Well every time they would line up with us they were taking pictures of us!! And very obviously! I felt really creeped out! me and my friend just ended up ducking the entire ride so they couldnt take our picture...

I heard/read some people reffering to this a legal punishment?? I am very shocked and I just think this is abuse. there is plenty of other way of dealing with children, leading by example, time out, taking toys away...

Can you guys tell me your opinions on this, I am just being curious to what people think?

Points off if you answer this question with "absolutely".

These people at a little church gathering think I'm an uptight germophone.. Because of a few instances. 1) A woman's child was double-dipping carrots in ranch dressing (But licking all of the ranch off and repeatedly dipping) Altho I realize in this instance I should have left it there and gotten myself some different dressing. 2). A fly lands on a birthday cake and I remove the frosting from the section where it landed.

So was I acting like a germophobe or are those justified?

Mom is the guilt trip queen. She guilt trips me about not comign to visit her often, and my plans to move four states away. (1) she always put men before my brother and I (2) no showed at my wedding she says because her new husband instigated a fight with her and convinced her not to go (3) I finally forgave her and am civil and invited her to my husband's military retirement ceremony which also invloves me (sort of a second chance thing to bond) She sent us a gift 4 months before saying in case you couldn't make it... Guess what she made an excuse and didn't. (4) She started a war with her brother's/ sisters built a privacy fence between her house and theirs pissed them off then left the house to rot which was the home I grew up in. (5) expects me to call the home she shacked up in with her husband instead of my wedding my home. I am tired, going to school and working full time. Does she need to pull her head out of her *** or what? They have not once visited us.

Question Details: The girlfriend is walking down the street with her boyfriend, and her hard, leather handbag hits a woman (who is crouched down on the sidewalk, admiring a little poodle) in the side. The girlfriend doesn't apologize and just walks on with her boyfriend, but overhears the woman swearing quietly at her. The girlfriend rolls her eyes and speaks bad of the woman to her boyfriend.
Boyfriend says: You should have apologized
Girl friend says: Why? It's her fault anyways. She was crouched down in the middle of the sidewalk. So it's her fault. Why should I have apologized?

In this situation, how could the boyfriend persuade the girlfriend into realizing and accepting the fact that she should have apologized without actually pissing his girlfriend off and making her feel bad?

Ten points to the best answer!!!
