I had this friend, and she said her mom, never allowed her to dunk things, such ac cookies in milk, crackers in soup, and so on. Why is this? Does it have anything to do with religion? I'm sorry, but something about that, bugs me.

A guy thinks he can out-drink you?

Especially when it comes to your favorite alcohol, one that you have years of experience with - and a particularly high tolerance for..? Do you just laugh at him? Do you try and humor him in the (highly unlikely) event that maybe he -could- outdrink you?

And why does Y!A want me to put this in LGBT?

Do you say something back right away? They usually catch me off guard so I am usually shocked at first, then don't think of what to say back until after they're gone- I hate that!!! How do you handle it???

I've just recently finished a competition and was packing up the event. we were suppose to end at 5 but we decided to pack up at 4 cos the turn out was bad. Sound systems were to be returned by 5.20 and was packed up and ready to go by 4.30. She insisted that we were to bring it back ASAP cos, that's very important and I just commented that "it was still early because that lady in-charge mentioned latest 5.20, so what's the rush?" and I was being called childish.

Just 2 questions here.
1) What's so childish about that? (Please answer truthfully, Don't need to worrry about me haunting you about this when I die, even if you're the only one who thinks I'm childish.)
2) What would have been the best way to react to this situation?

I don't mind people tellingme I'm attractive. In fact I think it is a compliment. However, the staring is seriously getting to me. I feel like I am being treated like a ststue. I dress very conservatively, but I am thinking about wearing less flattering colors. What should I do to stop the staring.

I've always heard it is not okay to leave a butter knife in the food dish with the food in the refrigerator. If this accidently happened, the food had to be thrown out. Is this true??

It seems that younger people NEVER use them (as if we don't need to know that they're about to turn in front of us) and older people never turn them OFF. Every day or so I seem to follow some old duffer for about ten miles on the freeway with their left blinker on!

and you are having a shower and they come in and leave a towel on the lid of the toilet, because it was in arm's reach of the shower, would you use it or would you ask for another one? Even tho the place looked spotless, I think it is unsavory to leave a towel on the toilet lid. I think if you invite someone to have a shower, you should give them a towel before they actually start taking off their clothes. But friends always say YOU HOP IN THE SHOWER AND I'LL GO AND GET YOU A TOWEL and they disappear and answer the phone or the door and take so long that you just get in the shower and then you hear them say HERE'S A TOWEL FOR YOU and when you get out......UGH!!! I just used my clothes to dry myself and wore a sarong they provided, to sleep in.. I wet the towel a bit to make them think I used it. Should I say something to them to help their next guest or am I being picky?

I am 27 and I wont dare step foot in a club. I dont like dealing with all the immaturity there. I will go to pubs and bars but some of my friends still insist on going to clubs. Am I right? We are too old for clubs or am I acting like an Old man too soon?

When there's an arranged meeting or party, is it best to be on time? or the so called "fashionably late"?

I am always either on time or early, and my friends are never on time and are normally late.

I don't know which is better?
Because when I go to a party early, I feel bad if the host is still preparing (mind you by early I mean 5-10 minutes).
But I don't want to be late as I feel it might ruin any plans or schedule the host may be trying to stick to.

When I went to Buckingham Palace to receive my award from Queen Elizabeth, I noticed a really foul odor and observed that The queen had a huge lump of fresh steaming dog excrement stuck to her shoe. I pointed this out to HM and said in an avuncular manner, "hey Betty you've got dog poo on your shoe"
The queen who was obviously quite drunk turned purple with rage and hurled a page boy at me before storming out. I fled from the palace pursued by a pack of corgis and my award was canceled. Was my statement to the Queen a violation of Protocol and if so how should you act when you realise the Queen has Poo on her shoe?

Hi, my daughter, who is five, invited her teacher to her birthday party orally. I never thought to even invite her teacher, she told me that her teacher said yes. I don't know if her teacher said yes to be nice not to hurt my daughter's feelings, or if she really wants to go. She actually has 2 teachers at school. I don't know if I should ignore this, or actually send an invitation to both of her teachers. Sorry, I know this might be kind of a wierd question, any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, =).

So my sister created a few business cards for the three of us (all sisters) a few years back, and apparently created an email address that didn't go on there. The handle is something like "smithsisters." To me the handle implies all 3 of us are in on this email account, that it's used or could be used for the business card deal, and that we should've been notified that she was creating an account handle like this.

She says she only sends stuff to herself and that this was the first time she'd sent anywhere else (she forwarded something to me today, which is how I found out about it). I believe her but I still think she should've asked us first, as it's like it's got our names on it as well. Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill or am I right to feel a bit irked?

Yeah, for $10 an hour. You get to work in the ER, chase different doctors around and document the stuff they tell you to write down. However, while you are being trained, you must put up with disrespect from the trainer, stress from other people who seem to think they are bigger than you etc. The trainers don't agree about specifics themselves so everytime you show up to get trained, you won't know what to expect. You get yelled at if you make a compliment to a staff member. You are asked if you are deaf, hard of hearing, mentally ill and everything else within these lines. You are stared at in a weird way, your mistakes are brought out to light right in front of everyone yet if it's something personal against you, they take you out the hall where all the family can hear. Is it worth keeping? Is it worth it for $10 an hour and experience? What would you do?

I've read and been taught that you should not place it on the table because it's rude to place a dirty napkin on a table with food so you should place it on your chair. But I've read lately that placing it on your chair is rude (you don't want to touch your mouth with a napkin that has been on the seat of a chair) and that you should place it folded to the left of your dinner plate. I have searched online and found both- which is true and under what circumstances?

It's so weird. You turn around and there's a person with their mouth gaped open, looking like their trying to catch flies, but they're yawning. It seems like I'm the only one who covers their mouth when they yawn... so, am I the weird one, or are people getting careless? (I know careless isn't the word, but I'm too tired to think of another word)

Spears grabbed all the naughty underwear she could find and headed to the dressing rooms. Store employees intervened and “told her they don’t allow people to try on underwear,” a source at the scene says. “She was really upset.”

Spears threw a hissy fit, and took dropped her panties and proceeded to try on a pair of boyshorts (with “Barely Legal’ stitched across the rear end

“The employees kept saying ‘Don’t change out here!’ She’s just like‘Well, I couldn’t take them in the fitting room!’
