to put down the F@&#ing phone and drive? I don't care what you say, multitasking causes the majority of accidents on the road and I don't want to die just because you couldn't shut up for 5 minutes on your way to the kwik-E-mart for a diet Coke.

I went to a concert last night and I was standing up dancing and singing along and the people behind me started giving me a hard time for standing. Over half the audience was standing. She told me to sit down and I said no. Her boyfriend told me if I didn't sit down he would sit me down. I told him if he touched me I would have him arrested. I went and got security and they let them stay there but told them not to talk to me or touch me. They were fine the rest of the concert. I think it was soo rude of them. Most people stand up and dance at concerts. It was Keith Urban, not the orchastra. Also do you think security should have kicked them out for threating me?

Not being racist but still wondering. When does a person become just an American or are only Caucasians considered Americans? My point is there are African, Native, and Mexican-American just to name a few. Native-Americans were here before the county began, Most African-American have been here for multiple generations. However in both examples they are something before American. Doesn’t that hyphenated American just further divide the nation?

i don't know who he is, but i think he's a sophomore, and im a senior. I always see him staring at me in the halls. It freaks me out. I want to say "take a pic it lasts longer", but i don't want to be as stupid and rude as he is. He's one of those weird popular kids, i typically keep to myself, but i don't stick out like a sore thumb. So what do i do to get this kid to stop staring at me. It makes me really uncomfortable.

As I was paying for gas this morning at the corner convenience store, I noticed that they had a new tip jar on the counter. I think that this has gotten way out of control. Business owners encourage this, because they see it as a way to guilt the customer into supplementing their employees' salaries. It's not so bad when it involves some kind of service outside of just ringing up purchases, but it gets under my skin to be expected to tip just for the service of someone taking my money. The sandwich shop where I sometimes eat lunch is a good example. If you drop a tip in the jar, you get your sandwich cut in half, and offered a plate. Skip the tip jar once, and the next time, you get handed a wrapped sandwich, and no offer of a plate. I would like to hear both sides. I'm not close-minded.

Would you criticize them?

I have an acquaintance who is a stay-at-home dad. The other day, I was at the grocery store with him. He struck up a conversation with an older woman in line behind him in which this fact was brought up. She said that he should be a man and take care of his family the way a man should.

One of my co-workers smells so bad my mgrs had to put her in a separate office because people complained. He never even told her why. She eminates this combination of BO and fish smell. I think someone should tell her so she can fix the problem but I don't know how to do so without hurting her feelings. I would want someone to tell me, wouldn't you?

I have a friend getting married in a couple of weeks. She has two weddings, one Hindu wedding on Friday night and then a Non-denominational wedding on Satuday. Both weddings provide dinner. The one Saturday provides alcohol, and dancing. I was married a few months ago and they purchased a gift for me that cost $270. I am sure their second wedding is very expensive. Their first if apparently simple. They are doing to appease the grooms parents.

I want to explain something about myself. I am a very confident person AND I believe that every man and woman should be. If something as small as a screen name can get you upset, how about viewing people in public settings. Too fine. Well I am a fine person inside and out. 4U is simply shows that I am hitched. My screen name bothers some so badly that they actually do not answer my questions but just attack the screen name. Well the screen name stays. It is me and shows the world that I love me.

Why is the first question I ask on here immediately answered by someone who can't help but be rude to me? It was a completely innocent question, and now I just cant help but feel wary of using this site. When will people learn to grow up?

Calling all my fellow spekkies...I would like to ask, if there was completely safe and very cheap laser eye surgery, or perfectly comfortable contact lenses (I'm sure both will be along pretty soon), would you leave the old jam-jars behind without a regret?

I'm 40 yrs old and never worn a bra. I am not large enough to need one and I make a point of never showing cleavage, wearing thick shirts, dark clothes and I layer with a jacket over lighter garments at work. I work at a private school and in my first week my boss showed me a type written page saying she copied it from the dress code in the employee manual listing a bra as a necessary item of clothing. I assured her that was NOT the dress code in the manual as I had a copy of my own and no mention of a bra was in it. I told her that I had never worn one and had no in mention of starting. (Respectfully but firmly). A year passed and no mention was made of the bra issue. Recently she reported me to HR telling them I was "over exposed" and the bra issue has once again reared its head. Is this harassment? Keep in mind that this boss also wrote me up once for having an unopened banana on my desk even though there is no rule against food. And makes staff ask permission to use the restroom
