The other day I asked if I could come over to talk and he did there was people there and that if I couldn't say it in front of people then it really didn't matter. I sent him a long text and he told me that it's him and he has the ****** up attitude and he'll never forget me. I haven't responded or spoke to him in three days. He liked my Facebook status. Today is his bitrthday. A girl was involved to but he swears they weren't together but I think he's lying. It's always like this and he always comes back.

What do u think is fair?

i was just wondering how many of u think its fair to give a thumbs down for a personal opinion? i mean, in some cases when the answer is rude or descrimitave or anything like this, but for example, i was given two thumbs down for a question that asked basically if labs were good dogs... my answer was that they are loyal, intelligent and good with children.i get 2 thumbs down for this?? meh... im not offended, but i just think it is a little strange!! anyone got any stories about their experiences with being shunted for their opinions? i mean, this is yahoo answers... ppl ask, ppl answer with their opinion... i will mention that i do give people thumbs downs for their answers if it is deserved. eg: "ur dog is a f***ing mutt. it should be put down" to this, i give a thumbs down....
any opinions?

What do you say to rude people who use "I'm just telling the truth" as a defense?

Analyse if it is the truth or not?The truth is a very valuable thing to embrace.It delivers our reality. Sometimes when people are given the truth about themselves they can not face it and prefer to remain in denial and cling to being right even if they are wrong.Truth is not a competition it is simply clarity of facts.The best thing you can do is actually think clearly about all the facts of the matter.Drop emotional involvement and simply deal with the reality of the situation. If the person does in fact have a good point and they were just guilty of not sugar coating it for you, then they did you a favour.eg; If someone tells you an important thing about yourself that is annoying then why would you not want to know that? Once you do know, you are in a good position to change that thing about yourself and become more socially acceptable. The person did you a favour? right?When somebody tells you in the heat of the moment of debate …“I am only speaking the truth” , then the very best thing you can do is pause for thought, back off from emotional reaction and simply say… “ OK, I will think about this and get back to you”By doing this you claim the high ground in terms of doing the right thing.You demonstrate self control and also intelligence. Integrity is much more important than simply being right.You can be right by admitting you were wrong. This is the greatest victory…. for yourself.If after thinking about the situation you fully realise that in fact the statement the person made is not the truth then ….You now know this person is a little confusedYou could let them know you thought about it and explain why you now know they were incorrect. (unemotionally)This way you are in touch with reality, the truth and stay integral.I hope this helpsBasil SimonMusical life coachOfficial life coach

Grounded for 6 months...is this fair?!?!?!?!?

So I was joking around and said something kinda rude to my Mom accidently...I didn't mean anything by it, and I apologized a million times. Yet, my Dad still grounded me for 6 months, no fun what so ever, no getting my temps until I'm ungrounded in April, (I'm 16 1/2, and haven't gotten them yet because my dad keeps "forgetting" to take me, by then I'll be almost 17.) Do you think this is fair for just goofing around?? I mean, it wasn't like I waited to apologize, either...as soon as I said it, I realized that was kinda rude and apologized on the spot. My Mom thinks maybe two weeks grounding, and has tried to talk my Dad into it, but he's stuck to 6 months. Anyone else think this is unfair? I mean, I need some sort of punishment ... but 6 months?!?!?! Thanks.

Do you think that it's fair for teachers to eat in front of students?

So I have this teacher who always eats in front of her students. She'd eat anything really:poptarts, granola bars, chinese food, ice cream, etc. It's so unfair to us. We have to sit in her class for that block of time and just watch her eat . I think she does this in every period she teaches. She has other times to snack, like in her classroom before school, passing period, plan time, lunch, and after school. I don't see the need to be rude amd eat in front of your students. What do you think?

Are Americans rude?

Compared to whom? I’ve travelled the world a fair amount. Parisians have a reputation of being rude. But I’ve found that if I attempt to speak in French they warm up. Londoners seem pleasant to fellow countrymen, seem to tolerate Americans, but I’ve seen them be very rude to other foreigners. I haven’t found Americans to be more rude to them.The Irish seem to love Americans. Next to them, Americans might seem rude.I used to live in New York. Rude people exist there, and they have a reputation for being rude. But I’ve found that they are often rude to strangers, because they are afraid that they are asking for money. Once they find out that you only want directions, they actually go out of their way to help you.When I moved to NC, the people really seemed nice, and most were. I soon realized there were more jerks per capital than in NYC. But with so many people in the city, the probability of running into one was so much higher.Im orriginally from Minnesota. The phrase “Minnesota Nice” is a common one.

Is it fair I got fired for this?

So I've been serving at a family owned restaurant for almost two years now. I absolutely LOVED my job and always wanted to work and was willing to pick up shifts. I payed my dues hosting and have been serving the past year. I got along great with everyone and never had any complaints.
That being said, two days ago I was working at night and a fellow co-worker had a table with three young teenage girls who left her about 30 cents on a 20 something bill (all three girls had separate checks and paid in change and dollar bills) anyway, I was very annoyed with this as it has happened to me and other servers fairly often and I wanted to say something. I stopped by the table and said "As servers we don't make alot hourly and rely soley on tips, so if you don't have enough money to tip out your server, you shouldn't go out to eat." I also said I wasn't trying to be rude, just letting them know. They then told my manager at the time (she is a cook and was just recently promoted to dining room manager) anyway she didn't make it a big deal and we all laughed it off in the kitchen.
The next morning I wake up to a phone call from my server manager telling me I'm basically fired instead of just being written up or maybe reprimanded somehow. I've tried to get ahold of my boss/the owner and he won't return my calls/texts. I'm pretty sure it's because he knows that this really isn't a fireable offense, but he recently hired a new server and wanted to open a spot for her.

So my question is, after being a loyal employee for almost two years, and this being my first offense, should I really have been let go over this? Looking back obviously I shouldn't have said anything, but let me know what you think.

Is it not rude when you ask somebody a question and you get the answer "Google it first"?

Q: Is it not rude when you ask somebody a question and you get the answer "Google it first"?Depending on the question, “Google it first” might be a fair response, and it would not be rude. Recognizing that some questions are as easily answered that way, as they are putting it in front of a bunch of people, wasting those people’s time unnecessarily.Where there is no opinion to be contributed, where there is no question or contention involved in the answer, it makes no sense to impose on other people’s time. It makes no sense to have them doing the googling on the questioner’s behalf.Maybe an example is best:Q: What is the volume of water in the oceans?There is no opinion involved.There is no contention regarding the answer. There aren’t multiple opinions. No fuzzy areas needing clearing up.To ask that question of others on the internet, which indicates the internet is also available to seek the answer, would be wasteful of other people’s time. Inconsiderate. Some would use the word “rude”.If someone asked that question, then answering “Google it first” is a fair, and not rude response.….But like I said. It depends on the question.
