don't you just find it INCREDIBLY rude when other co-workers go out to get lunch and don't offer to pick you up anything, when you always offer to get lunch for everyone when you go?

k first off let me tell u that im black and i like this guy who happens to be white, race isnt an issue for me but i think it should be something that u guys are BOTH ok with. secondly I dont know this guy personally at all i saw him and i liked him immediatly.. im planning on approching him by introducing myself. Im new to the school so i guess it wont be all weird to him.. anyways heres what im going to say.

Hi whats your name?
my name is kesha
im new to the school
k, chilling with me at lunch (im telling him instead of asking him because it doesnt give him the option of saying no, usually works)
have u ever dated a black girl?
do you want to? (date a black girl)
can i be ur first?

im answering according to how i think he would respond, im like 99% certain hes never dated a black girl even though his friends are mostly black, im also pretty sure that he would be willing to date a black girl, but im not so sure if he would want to just jump into a relationship

My friend from college(were both girls) asks me if i want to go to Vegas, she says oh me and my friends are going and we needed one last person to fill the room spot, wanna go?
I feel really insulted, like shes just asking me to fill a room spot. of course i said no,

Then before that i was sending around one of those quiz things on myspace.
One question was "say something about the person who sent this to you"

She writes well "Some say me and Linda (me)have a werid type of friendship"

I think shes trying to tell me were not friends,, for someone i have hung out with every weekend for 2 years, got her a great job, i feel insulted.

im thinking of cutting her off

I was talking to some dudes from work, they offered me a cigarette, and I told them I don't smoke. Then they invited me out for a drink, and I told them I don't drink. Then they said I'm so boring.

I'm boring for not wanting to destroy my brain cells and lung and overall health?

Seriously what do you girls do? Every time my girl goes to the rest room, I have to wait for 10-20 minutes. She tells me that there's a huge line and girls have to "wait for their turn" but whenever I pass through the entrance of the ladies' room, it's really not THAT crowded (same goes with my Mom, my sister and my friends).

I do love my girl and I really don't mind waiting for her whenever she goes to the restroom. The thing is, I just want to know what girls do inside that room.

If I want to give maximum insult, do I give 'em one finger or two? Are there different situations in which one might be more appropriate to the other?

I keep getting e-mails that say things like " this is disturbing you must read" or "this will make you think". I don't know about you but my life is disturbing enough without some joker trying to make it more so. Plus, if I want to think about something I'd go back to school.

I was just laughing at something I read on Yahoo! Answers and this guy (I'm in a computer lab in my dorm) turned around and said "something's funny?" Smiling, I replied "obviously."

Am I a jerk? It was an accident!

A 13-year-old student with whom a middle school teacher is accused of fleeing to create a romantic life in the boy's native Mexico may be required to stay there.
Peterson was turned over to the FBI early Saturday. The boy was turned over to relatives in Mexicali because he was an illegal immigrant in the United States and was not allowed to return.

Now that she caught me stalking her? (my mother isn't home right now) but when she comes home my teenage neighbor well tell her i was looking in her window?

I thought all judges in US courts were addressed as "Your Honor". I have seen TV Court people addressing a male judge as "Sir".
So, if that is correct do you address a women judge as "Madame" in court? This does not sound correct to me.

He likes me to go braless or wear push up bras and low cut tops, short skirts, shorts. See through tops. I do it on occassion. It makes me very horny, but I feel a little bit insecure about it. But I like the attention. So does he.

The company announced that they would remove the word Christmas from their promotion because they don't want to offend anyone. I like the word Christmas as it was used for over 2000 years. Because of that I would not buy from them this year. May be they should say...We remove the word Christmas to favor other customers and hope we make more money. Will be interested to see if they make more or less money. (Note: it seems to be stupid to say not to offend anyone when they are offending someone already)

Me and my b/f (we are both very friendly people) can't stand it when you pass someone whether it be on the street or in the hall way at work...etc and they put their head down or totally look the other way when passing you....or you can tell that they are trying really really hard not to look at you. We always say hello to people and never avoid anyone. I mean we don't go out of our way but just normal friendly "good morning" "hello" whatever. There are people at my work that I have worked with for years that still won't say hello or look me in the eye when we pass (I'm sure they are like this with other people). Do you think they have a mental problem of some sort?

Can someone, ANYONE please explain to me how it is that a husband can watch his wife work her tail off and sit around and watch tv? How is it that he cannot get up and ask if she needs help? How is it that the folding chairs used for entertaining over the weekend sit by the basement door and cannot be taken downstairs by the husband, but the wife must lug them downstairs?

Don't get me wrong. I do not at all believe that I am a weak, helpless, little woman. But how a guy can watch his wife exhaust herself and then have the nerve to say, "Is everything ok?"

I am tired of having to point things out. "Can you please help me with this? Can I please get some help with that?" Saturday we entertained two other couples and I did the bulk of the work while my husband snoozed on the couch. And then I did the bulk of cleaning up?

Why do I have to continually point this out? Why can't you men see and observe with your very own eyes?

I am speechless.
