Ok, lets say, you had a problem, like in a relationship, friendship, family, etc. but the problem is not that big that you need to see a professional.You also, would not want to be going through formal counseling, more like, you are confused about something and don't know which direction to go? You also, kind of just need to vent but you dont really have people that you can talk to, or you dont feel comfortable telling your business to someone who you know, because of fear that they might judge you. So, you decide to ask advise. Do you think it is fair for the person who takes their time to listen to you, should at least charge you for their time? Lets say, like a dollar for a question? Or a dollar to hear you vent? This person does not necesarily need to be your friend, and does not need to be a counselor. But, do you think you would pay, if you did, would you pay it feeling grateful and thankful that this person took their time to listen to you, hear you vent?

A client of mine invited me to his wife's birthday party at their house this Saturday night. I know my client very well, as I have seen him on a daily basis for the past couple of years. Also, we have gone to many corporate events together, such as fishing trips and golf tournaments.

His wife is in her mid forties and all I know about her is that she runs marathons and works from home. I just met her for the first time last week when we all went jogging on a Sunday morning.

My client mentioned that it is just going to me a small event with 15-20 of their close friends. What would be an appropriate gift/card to bring to her birthday party?

I am a single mother, and my best friend is about as opposite as she can be from me. I'm making a toast at her wedding as the maid of honor in about a week, and was thinking of saying something like, "I remember when Rachel got home from the mission trip her and Jake both went on in January of 2006. She squealed about him for about an hour while I cleaned out my refridgerator, and I remember thinking, "This guy is the one. She's going to get married first! But hey, I had a child out of wedlock first, so I guess we're even." I'm thinking it's too tacky. What do you think? Any advice?

Okay so I was talking and my friend suddenly stuck her hand in my face and say ahh ahh ah. Kind of telling me to shut up. Then when im worried about something she's liek stop being so paranoid. Im thinking inside, why dont you STFU. She's nice. She would help me if i had trouble with holding something stuff like that but sometimes shes just plain annoying. She talks about stuff that doesnt make sense. For example, she sometimes would keep talking but then suddenly shes stops like she trying to get a point but dont have one. Do you think it's enough to not like this person or is it just me?

Today some guy called me and asked if I wanted to make a credit card because I was pre-approved. And I told him, no thanks. Then he kept saying..."why not?" and kept making a fuss out of it. I kept replying, "It's okay, I don't want a credit right now. I have no money to pay it off anyways." And he kept going on and on and how I should get one to build credit. And I can tell he was getting more rude and forceful. So I said, "who are you to tell me what I have to go?" and he said, "well, lets' see...i've worked here for about 4 years, I have a BA in literature, blah blah." And i asked him, "aren't I entitled to my own opinion whether I want one or not?" and he's like, "NO!" and i said, "that's so disrespectful because you don't care what I think, who would hire you to work?" and he's like.."you are pathetic for not wanting to build credit" then he told me to go to the medicine cabinet to drink up pills and get a shotgun while I'm at it. SO rude with harassment. what do you guys think?

I live in a fairly large apt complex. This happens all the time, this morning it went like this:

Man pulls up in car, stops, honks his horn (3 ~1 sec blasts). He waits a minute or two, he honks again. He repeats cycle 4 more times, blasts getting longer each time.

I greet him pleasantly, no emotion. I ask politely if he wouldn't mind calling whoever it was, or walking to the door, instead of honking.

To answer his questioning look. I note that using a horn that way is against state/city law, and complex policy. I also tell him that it's distracting, as I work from my home/office -- all very polite. He says no problem, parks, and walks into the complex.

Shortly after, they get in the car to go, but first, he honks his horn 5 long blasts -- a little pay-back, with his rude knob now cranked up to 11!

Is there a way to say: hey, that's disturbing, and against the rules, please stop -- that doesn't make them want to irk just me, 3x worse than before I asked them not to
