I pulled someone else's girlfriend and then 'slept' with another girl in the host's bed! Luckily no one seemed to mind too much :-s Howabout you?

cuz i think i am
i dont hate or even dislike homosexuals, but i do believe homosexuality is unnatural, not because they like the same sex, i think homosexual thoughts can be natural, but the intercourse itself is not meant to be that way. Our organs clearly show that sex is for creating and they fit together in a way that makes it obvious man and woman are to be together. I just dont see how gayness is seen as appropriate and things like pedophilia are not. i'm not a pedofile nor do i condone that either im just saying. I dont understand where this country draws its lines.

I dislike one of my inlaws primarily because she has walked in on me in the bathroom more than twice..
I would be at a fellow inlaws place and the toilet door would be closed and she (no lock) would open it and I would call out loudly. "Theres someone in here." So instead of going..oh sorry...and shutting door and walking away like a normal person she just kinda hangs outside the door. So i have to go over there and shut the door in her face. She couldn't see anything cos of the angles but now I have a problem with her. Frankly I am concerned about going to the toilet when shes around. Am I being nasty? I think shes creepy.

What are some pet peeves? I guess maybe I'm just annoyed and feel like venting, so here goes:

When people don't answer the question at hand- they focus on a completely different aspect instead of responding to what the original question was.
When people lick their fingers to seperate pages, count money, whatever. That's so unsanitary and disgusting.
People who say "HAH?" all loud instead of just saying "what" or "huh" in a normal tone of voice.
When people don't wait until the teller (that'd be me) or cashier or whomever is ready for them, and just come right up like it's their right to. Wait your turn, because we need to put sensitive paperwork for the person before you away before you can see it, just like we'll give you the courtesy of doing before we wait on the next person.
People who give thumbs down on OPINIONS (ie favorite tv show) on yahoo answers.
When peoply argue a point just to be contrary, not because they really believe it, they just want to disagree with you.

I dont get it. This is like the 3rd or 4th incident where you have some crazy white kid either shooting people up or planning on shooting people up. But you dont have anyone in here talking about "oh, white people need morals. white people need to get their act together. that marilyn manson and ozzy osbourne are corrupting the kids!" but when a black kid robs somebody or shoves someone at school the news media is all over hip hop and how its such a bad influence and its question after question on here about "why dont black people have any morals and why dont black people do this and that and why arent black people educated." At least when a black person shoots somebody they do it for a reason, retaliation or something! They dont just grab a gun and start shooting random people because they had a bad day! And I am not saying its right but its funny how whenever a white person shoots a bunch of people its just HIM but when a black person does a crime its BLACK PEOPLE in GENERAL.

The default avatar on Yahoo! Answers is an outline of a male's head?
I mean, not all of us are men.
I'm not a man! for example.
I've seen a lot of people who don't have a picture or anything, so the little gray outline just shows up.
But their names say "Miss" or something that says they are girls, but at first I think they're guys..

Our group has candies/snacks in our area all the time. We noticed that one guy from the other team come in and take a candy almost everyday. Should we confront him in person and tell him to stop? Should we send him a email? What would be the best way to resolve this problem without offending him?

I found out from a few co-workers that those back-stabbers who are being very nice to my face and saying all kinds of untrue and mean things to them. I am afraid these rumors are going to get to the owners. What should I do?

I don't get it. Just saying your first names isn't giving out any personal information. A million people can have your first name. The person you are talking to could probably know a bunch of people with your name or no people with your name.

Also, just giving out your state isn't bad either. I live in Virginia. I don't find that giving out too much information about myself.

I think some people go way overboard with the "don't give out personal infoooooo!" thing..

Everyone in my school asks everyone they see for there myspace, nexopis, and my space. If someone in my school finds out my email, they email me asking me to add them on my space. I tell them I don't have it, they ask why, and I say i'm not allowed on it. They lol, and walk, and never talk to me again. I thought I was a loner cause my hairs too long cause the popular group says they'd let me in if I cut it. And even they ask for my facebook, nexopia, and myspace. So what is it? My hair, or my mom won't let me on my space? Or both? Do you think it's geeky to not have myspace?

I don't know how to tell these people that I am not interested in their parties, social gatherings. I have friends of my own that I feel comfortable around and that I hang out with. They think that my life revolves around them. If I a not interested they think I am being a *****, or think that I am better, or they turn the situation around saying that I am no good for their group. They find it offensive. I don't know what to do or say. We just don't share the same interests. It's been a long time and there is still conflict between me and these people. Even when I say that I am here for my education, they say that I am anti social and they end up spreading rumors about me. How can I say that they are not my crowd in a nice way. How can I distract them. I'd like it if all of us got along, but we are just different.

It's been a year since we talked. At that time, her mother was dying from cancer and she was pretty upset about it.

1. Should I ask her about her mother?
2. If her's mother's passed on, what should I say?

I find when communicating with people they tend to not listen to the topic but more about something irrelevent?

ie: I was talking about how stupid my morning was with the fire alarm going off and all the little mishaps that happened becasue of it, and the people who were "listening" start lectureing me on how important fire alarms are. Where did I ever say or indicate that fire alarms aren't important?

I'm on my schools varsity tennis team and I beat my friend whos on the boys team in a practice set, and hes such a sore loser! I was picking up balls outside the court and I heard him tell his friends he was tired so he let me win. Do you think he really let me win or is he just being a jerk?

I keep a 12-pack in the refrigerator for myself. I keep thinking that maybe common decency will win out over petty theft. So far, from the current 12-pack, three have been stolen. The buck-fifty isn't the issue, it's the fact that I cannot even trust my own coworkers, some of whom have MBAs, which is proof that common crooks exist at all levels of education. I'm not the only one who experiences this. Other people in my office lose food to thievery. You'll probably say to put a note on them to identify them as mine, and I have tried that, but to no avail. They still vanish. Maybe it's a fantasy, but rather than try to protect my Cokes from theft, I would rather see the office become a safe haven, devoid of criminal behavior and above reproach. Am I asking too much? Should I lock down my Cokes the way I do my cubicle every night?

Last night at the post office, I gave the guy 45 cents for a stamp (that's 41 cents) and I asked for my change after he closed his register.

Then he went back in and gave me the 4 cents. Hey, its the principle.....Mailmen get gratuity now?

He said "You can put them in your piggy bank"

I said "Yeah" with a serious look.

Am I taking it personally?

I recently changed my hair, and people at work who are normally RUDE to me (because they are of a HIGHER um let's just say hiarchy), were surprisingly quite pleasant... Can your appearance really change people's behavior toward you?
