My sister in law had a baby shower a couple weeks ago and I just got my thank you. I realized when I read it it was my mother in laws writing. I find this pretty rude that she couldn't take the time to write everyone thank yous, her mom did it for her. She's 24 years old, pregnant with her first child and doesn't work. I see no reason she couldn't do it herself. What do you think?

I thought baaby , heeey babayyey and hey hunnni were men who don't even know you well , acting like they do , ARE PERVERTS! I agree.
But do you ladies have to fit > Hey how's it going , or how are you doing , or , hi what's up , into the same category as the first couple examples I used?
Don't woman already know the difference between some poodle and a gentleman? Ya ok if you like being howeld at and you figure it's all about growing up and it's a free country , have fun , live life to the fullest , and that it's about being a youth or whatever. I respect that opinion and the people who have that opinion.
But , lets be honest here. I'm not talking to those people & woman.
The people & woman I'm talking to are the ones who DO MIND being howeld at for moral reasons , opinion , respect , and or what ever els & not.
This is what I'm getting at okat. > A woman , told me , that a womens magazine says that 4 of 5 wom. get hit onBout 6 T's a day.of those 6 R5 just some good man saying hi?

Hi guys, I need an advice about how to peacefuly handle a neighbour problem. This guy living next to us has taken a habit to park his car in front of our house on daily basis even though, his driveway is empty and there is no one parked in front of his house.

Now, I am well aware that the street is a public space but a common decency tells me otherwise...I mean friends and family drop by all the time and they have no where to park (we already have two cars in our single-line driway).

My husband has approached him today about this and asked politely if he could kindly park in his space since we need ours. To which he replied "Is there anyone parked now???" Since the answer was no, he's still parked in front of our house...

Obviously, he's looking for a fight. Any suggestions how to handle this problem without making this worst than it is???
Please help! Thanks!!!

You know the type - the ones that interrupt a perfectly peaceful discussion with their vitriolic comments that really add nothing, and when confronted, they merely say something asinine like "I tell it like it is", or "I'm just angry *cue Avril Lavigne like grimace*".

How do you deal with it?

When listing donors in an annual report, do you list them by amount given or by pledged amount. In other words, if someone gave $1,000 this year and pledged to do it for four more years, do you list them in the $1,000 or $5,000 category. Please list your organization or institution with the answer. Thanks!

Every time I walk in a shop nowadays I'm accosted by sales assistants almost as soon as I enter the shop asking if I have found what I'm looking for - to which my usual response is either 'no, I wanted to find a shop where I wasn't annoyed by sales assistants' or 'how do I know? I haven't had a chance to look yet' followed by me turning straight around and walking out of the shop, frustrated, the whole experience ruining my shopping experience.

Most of the time they are working on commission, but why make it so obvious! The rest of the time it is just to make up a score for their mystery shopper survey.

When will company management realise that the worst thing you can do is interrupt a shopper (or even worse, a diner who has a mouthful of food!)?

I think I am. I asked a lighthearted question about Fudge chocolate bars and someone answered "What?????Who cares, do you care?" which I thought was rude and unnecessary. I've looked over the answerers profile and they appear to have answered other lighthearted questions without being rude, so why did they do it to me? But more importantly, why do I let it get to me?!?!? Take a deep breath Rachael.

I work a pool as an attendent where a I met a lady who I have house sat for while she was on vacation. She also had asked me if I would be intersted in looking after her elderly mother who was in a home, just so she could have company. Yesterday she came to the pool and let me know that her mom had passed away, so she would not be calling me about the job. We had a really nice and long conversation where she told me about her mom, the funeral, and I let her know how sorry I was for her loss. My question is, should I send a letter of condolence even though I have already talked with her? I would love to send her a letter with a donation made in her mother's name to a charity or something but I have no money (litterally). So please let me know what you think. Thanks

PS-I actually have got to know her a lot though seeing her and her kids for the last two summers so it's not like I just met her a couple times.

I want to do this for no particular reason.... I just want to do something crazy. Do I ask a friend? or go alone? or ask someone near there in a town if they want to join?

Often when I hear a recording of myself, i hear myself almost mumbling. I can't fully explain it, but it almost feels like my voice is only coming from the front of my mouth. I seem to skip over some syllables; I feel like I said it, but my mouth just mumbles it.

Does anyone know how I can correct this?

My sister is a notorious re-gifter. She gives gifts out that she has recieved but has not used or used once and doesn't want. I want to get her back because I think it is tacky! She was just mentioning this weekend that it was one of her friends birthdays and she has this sweater with the tags still on it! It drives me crazy! Lucky for me her birthday is on the 15th, time for some payback! I do think it is the thought that counts and not the money you spend, but I really don't think there is any thought in finding junk you didn't want and giving it to someone else. And what even makes me want to do this more is that she is a selfish brat and if you give her something that doesn't have a expensive name brand on it (Prada, Louis Vitton, etc.) she won't use it even though it is something she asked for.

What can I do to get her back? I am on a mission! I want to look like I bought it for her but I also want her to feel like , "I think this is a re-gift". Any Ideas?

My neighbor (who just happens to be the mayor of the very small town we live in) uses my yard as a shortcut several times a day. In the eary morning I like to sit in the yard and have my coffee (sometimes in my PJ's) and on several occasions he has startled me. If if was just every once in a while I do not think it would bother me, but he does all through out the day. We can even be having a family BBQ and here comes the mayor cutting through my yard. How would you handle the situation.

OK me and my boyfriend are going out to dinner tonight and everywhere we go to eat he seems to know people (well people seem to know him half the time he doesn't remember who they are) anyways I'm very picky about where we eat now because the last two places we had his exes as our servers talk about akward but the last few times we went to eat we had people that work there come sit next to us in the booth and start chatting with him. One we are on a date and so I find this very rude and 2 they never bother to introduce themselves to me and my boyfriend works alot so it's very important that we get this time for ourselves. anyways how can i explain to them that we are on a date and I think it's rude for them to invite themselves to join us?

My boyfriend is out of town until Sunday. I asked him if it would be OK if I went over to his apartment to swim while he is gone (I don't have a pool at my house.) He said, "Yeah - that's fine - you can do whatever you want". I already have the key to his apt.

My question is this:

Would it be OK if I invited a girlfriend over to swim with me, and made some margaritas (with our own booze, not his) to hang out? He has met her, and he likes her, but he didn't specifically say this was OK because I didn't think to ask, and he will be out of communication until he gets back.

We would, of course, clean up any mess we made.

Is this OK?

Every time I invite someone over to my home it is fair to say that 100% they will either call and cancel at the last moment or not even show up. This applies to friends AND family. Either I'm just an easy target or they're all just jerks who are inconsiderate. Out of everyone in my life I'm the one who makes time for everybody. I work full time, have a busy social life through my church, and I volunteer at various places. I like my life and what I do with it. I don't understand. My schedule is very busy(matter of fact this is my one day off ;)) How is that only I can make the time? I've considered not extending invites to anyone ever, if they want to spend time with me then they will have to arrange it themselves and ask me. Is this a good idea?
