How common is playing footsie ( such as in an office or library cubicle) between people?
XXXXXXXXXXXX I'm sure it happens all the time, starts off as an accident. This gives the shy one a little courage to do it again and often. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
What's the weirdest thing a stranger has said to you?
I was walking out of CVS and I was spinning a mop and I dropped it and this really old creepy guy said "You must find the center of gravity" and it scared me cuz he just came outta nowhere lmao
Is Spring Boot overkill for a web-based library app with CA 10 data tables?
No, the number of tables you have or the amount of data in them isn’t an important factor in deciding whether to use Spring Boot or not. Spring Boot could be great for a web app that has no tables and exists only to allow realtime chat between strangers or people with some authentication mechanism not involving a database, for instance, or only to display some data from one single table.The main thing worth considering is probably how are you going to deploy your app? You’ll probably want to use either a service that lets you deploy a Spring app “out the box” or else set up not only a “normal” server like Apache HTTP server or Nginx, but also set it up to reverse proxy to Spring.This is not very hard, but may end up not being trivially easy either, and will consume more hardware resources that if you just use PHP — which is usually very easy to set up. Although, having said that, while an “extra” server and Java gives you some extra overhead, for large numbers of users it’s possible that it may end up being more efficient than PHP.I worked for a number of years in a job where I was deploying Java web apps, and prior to that, C++ web apps. So I thought Spring Boot, with an embedded server, would be easy to deploy “live”. I thought I knew how to do it. Turns out, when you don’t have the support of an sysadmin team that are doing the real work, and you bring websockets and SSL into the mix, and you don’t actually understand web servers very well at all, it can really drive you a bit nuts. Took me days to figure out how to do it properly! If I had wanted to do it improperly (insecurely and going against recommended guidelines), that I got working almost straight away.The web sockets were the killer though, and CSRF took a little bit of figuring out. If you’re not using web sockets and you use a service like Heroku, or even if you don’t, it should be fairly straightforward.
What would you do or think or feel if a random male stranger walked up to you and said "You are really beautiful. I just wanted to tell you that. Goodbye." and walked away?
This EXACT thing happened to me. Last year. While I was buying coffee from my college cafeteria.A little back story. I go to an all girls' engineering college, however we share our campus with two other institutions, both of which are co-educational. Hence, the presence of boys on campus.So back to story, I was buying coffee for myself while my friends were waiting for me a little distance away. As I looked up, I saw this dashing (yeah!) guy walking up straight towards the canteen from a distance. He looked suspiciously headed towards me and was smiling all the while he walked up. He came right upto me, said "I think you are beautiful!" in this most amazing voice, smiled a killer smile, stood there for a sec and went back the exact same way. It all happened so fast that I couldn't register it properly. I was only beginning to half smile, when all my friends had already rushed up to me. They asked me what the guy said, and I told them.Their first reaction was that it might obviously have been a bet or a dare. I was still thinking slow, while their minds were running at double the usual. So two of them instantly went the way the guy had gone, to trace his gang and check if our speculations were true.They returned to report that the guy was sitting alone outside his library .After deliberating a little more, we seemed to be going nowhere and the conversation moved to another topic, leaving me secretly smug and wishful. I had just received a wonderful compliment from a pleasant (seemingly harmless) stranger, who didn't ask for anything in return and that had left me feeling warm and happy.That's where I thought I left it.But my friends had other plans. They did not intend to let me forget the incidence that easily and every time I passed the guy on campus, or he passed me, they ended up singing James Blunt's "You're beautiful" at the top of their voices. This went on for almost two weeks, and needless to say was embarrassing as hell.So what I did was tell my friends what had just happened. What I thought is pretty irrelevant as my friends were already thinking for me by then. And what I felt was warm happiness at having been complimented, followed by extreme embarrassment for the following 15 days :)
Do excessive tattoos render a woman unfit to be a parent?
I have a friend... she has a bunch of tattoos and piercings and she recently lost custody of her kids (with tattoos and piercings being one of the reasons), other than that she is not a bad mother... Now the other day, she tried to get a job as a librarian and was rejected for the same reason. She is all upset and depressed now... But I think if people dont even trust you with used books and outdated magazines why would they trust you with kids? Duh! What is your opinion?

Shoes off in public - the big debate (and why it's NOT just an ASIAN thing)?
This is actually a pretty interesting question. I agree with you, it's not just Asians that take their shoes off. I'm Black and I take my shoes off a lot. When I'm in the library, I like to take my shoes off and cross my legs, have one foot tucked under my bottom, or have my bare feet up on a chair. Only once have I had a comment about that, and it was one time when I had my bare feet up on a chair seat. A female security guard came up to me and told me to "put your shoes back on, honey". I don't know why she said it, my feet were really clean and soft and did not smell at all! I must admit that people do make too much of a big deal about people taking off their shoes. As long as they don't smell, bare feet should be taken out off shoes and aired out. I don't really take off my shoes at school, because I don't want to get unwanted attention and comments, but in a nice place like a library or bookstore, my feet cannot stay in my shoes! I don't know why, but being barefoot is just way more comfortable. And people should not make such a big deal about it!
For the girls: play footsie?
When I was in college, I had to study long hours in the library, and because my legs would get all cramped I would stretch my legs and put them on the chair across of me on the same table, but one day, I was so into my physics that I just stretch my leg and there by grazing this guy who had been sitting across of me in the crotch area. He made it worst by thinking that I had done it on purpose and grabbed my ankle to press it harder against him. After turning red from head to toe and shrieking, he realized that I had not done it on purpose and we both just went our own way in opposite directions. =P
