I have a family member that I have continually tried to set boundaries with yet she continues to run all over them and is being a bad influence on my kids. I can't keep my children from being around her, so how can I get her to respect my wishes without losing my cool?

A friend recently mentioned an article they had read, suggesting it to be tacky to use a gift card at a restaurant you select for an evening out amongst friends? The article suggested the card should be used to lower the overall tab prior to dividing the check. Anyone familiar with the piece or have thoughts on whether using it on one's own tab is ill-mannered?

I have an interview, and the woman said they expect "professional business attire!" She was kinda rude, so I didn't ask her what that meant. Plus, she might think I'm dumb, but no one's ever said that to me before!! Help!!

I live in a condo, I own it, I am on the top floor, below me are a fairly nice couple who just got married. Our floor plan is exactly the same. In the morning their alarm goes off and they hit snooze every 10 min for 2 hours until one of them gets up. Then the other one's alarm goes off and stays on loud for like 30 minutes until she gets up. Help!!! I work full-time just not the the same hours they do. How should I approach the this, just talk with them? And how do I position it it in a nice way? Thanks in advance!!!

I'm sorry I think it is funny, my friend is a receptionist and whenever she hangs up with someone she says "buh bye" and her boss told her to try to stop it. She says she is trying but it just naturally is difficult to LOL.

What do you guys think?

he did it on purpose, WOULD YOU have done the same thing?

today at work i asked this guy ,iam acquintances as well as cowrkers with to help me out with these rolls of silverware i was carrying , i had no energy so thats why i asked him for help, he grabbed all the silverware but when he grabbed the silverware i felt his hands touching my private area and by that i mean my vagina..i dont know if he noticed he had touched me there while trying to grab silverware but it kind of tickled but it was weird, i saw him looking down when grabbing the silverware soo its not like he wasnt paying attention..so i think he did do it on purpose..boys do you think he did it on purpose

i felt his hands two times down there then he grabbed the silverware

he told my friend he thinks i'm attractive at work one day, and when he was drunk one night we went out, he kept trying to grind on me ..he complimented my make up the other day

I have a coworker who doesn't have a higher than average workload, yet she insists on forwarding me every email she receives so that I can print them out for her. She pushes off menial tasks that should not be a problem. It is unfair to me [the receptionist] to have to pick up other employees workload because they are simply too lazy to do so. How can I politely tell them to do their own work?

Last Friday me and my coworker split the money to buy chicken, chips, and bread. Both of us where going to eat the rest today for lunch. To our surprise it was all gone today. The yard man ate it all and he even invited his friend (our coworker too) to eat it with him. Quoting "There is no problem you can eat it too!"
I was taught not to fight for food, but I was also taught to respect even the soda of the other person. I never grab my coworkers soda or anything and If I do I make sure to give it to them next time.
I want to know what do you think of people like that? Who grab things w/o permission and things that aren't theirs.
I don't want to fight with him but I will put "My food"

I have a co-worker who constantly talks about her cats, her (alleged) weight loss, menstrual cycle, ex-husband, etc. She will say aloud whatever pops in her head. She is a nice sweet friendly woman but she never shuts up. NEVER

My husbands has two first cousins, one from his mother's side that is getting married this weekend and one from his father's side that just passed away. My husband is in the wedding, and the rehearsal dinner is the same night as the funeral. Which should we go to? Also, consider the wedding cousin is never around, and my husband was a fill in of sorts for the wedding. My husband has also been in more than his share of weddings, so he doesn't neccesarily need to "rehearse". I'm leaning more toward the funeral, but I've also never been in this situation before.

I know this is a strange question, but it's a strange situation. I have very long, thick hair. I often get compliments on it. That is no problem. The problem is that some people (my co-workers and even some customers or total strangers!) seem to feel it is OK to say, "Oh, your hair is so pretty." and then grab a handful of it! Occasionally a co-worker or acquaintance will come up behind me and start braiding it without my permission.

How do I handle this? I consider it the same as if they were touching me without my permission, but apparently other people seem to think that hair doesn't count as a body part. I don't want to make a scene, but I really don't like it. Usually I just move far enough away they have to let go or risk pulling my hair. But I hate being so passive!

How can I politely but firmly tell these people to get their hands off my hair?

He always has different reasons, but the most common is that I used to share that house with my ex-fiance (with whom I have a kid with) and he isn't comfortable. What do you think? We have been dating for 6 months.

How do you let them know you're fed up with their attitude without offending them?
One of my work colleagues saps my positive energy with his continual complaints, it's a beautiful day and he's moaning about it being nearly winter time.
Tomorrow it'll be something else!!
He's the kind of bloke who would find something wrong with paradise! I can't think how his 'missus' puts up with him, really I can't. Shall I just tell him outright, ***** you're a miserable malcontent, get over yourself? or shall I just continue to put up with him??

Today at work we celebrated a co-workers birthday with having free lunch from a local BBQ restaurant (his choice). Well, no one informed me that lunch was there and I couldn't smell it because I have some sinus/allergy problems that make my sniffer malfunction every now and then (and, yes, my co-workers know this). The only reason I found out lunch was there was a co-worker had just happened to come up and ask if I'd gotten any food from the back. When I went to get my lunch, the birthday co-worker was sitting a the table with three other co-workers and they were all having a little conversation going. When I got my food and was leaving, I waited for a pause in the conversation to say "Happy Birthday" before walking out. I got silence. I know I said "Happy Birthday" loud enough because I tend to be a very cheerful person when it comes to such celebrations. But I didn't even get a smile. And honestly, I found it quite rude.

Could they be doing this on purpose?
