Thank You notes
Now I have always been a fan of keeping the peace, and this whole boo hoo we didn't get thank you notes thing is sad!!! What was your motive? Did you give her the crib to get recognition (to make yourself feel good?). Or did you do it because you wanted to? Are you or any of your co-workers parents? An infant and a job keeps a woman ...

Thank you rules
The coworker might simply believe she's already thanked everyone - from Emily Post: ''Who needs a note? All gifts should be acknowledged with a note, unless the goodies were opened in front of the giver—then you have the chance to thank them in person.'' If she thanked everyone in person, she probably thinks she's ...

OR we can make our own!
Proctor and Gambel-- Would it be so hard to accept the study here and find an alternate for the plastic in the beads you use? Is it possible that you have links/deals with a other corporations which profit from plastics manufacturing or oil use and you don't want to consider the alternatives for your profits' sake? How about the European ...

Hear, Hear
Next time this happens to any of us, we should raise our hands to the bottle toting waiter, smile, and say, ''One moment. May I speak with your manager, please?'' If one person in every city does this, surely the world will be a better place?

Re: I don't know that the two of you are that far apart.
irvingchang... I have seen you post intelligently. I have seen you make decent arguments for your opinions. So why is it that on this thread you have only popped in to make random inulting remarks?

Grow a Pair, Dude
Without seeming crude, the male worker in a female led environmental organization office needs to consider his OWN identity. If you believe in the cause and the idea of that organization, then do NOT leave that office. Rather, get in touch with your identity as a man. First, consider that God made Man. God granted man many powers and abilities ...

Re: enough with complaints about the theaters!
Freddie: We live in a community. That community contains other people. Sometimes those people do things that annoy us. But we have to live with them, because other people give life meaning. I mean Jesus on the fucking cross, if I have to hear one more over privileged loser complain about what a travesty it is to hear another stranger whisper, ...

A Man's Rant: Spandex and Public viewing
After going to the gym nearly everyday over the past couple weeks, I am compelled to rant on a matter of public decorum which is visually distracting but seems to escape all public mention. WEARING SPANDEX CLOTHING IN PUBLIC WITH NOTHING OVER IT IS IMMODEST, PROVOCATIVE, AND at the very least PUBLICLY OBTUSE and at worst PUBLICLY SALACIOUS. ...

Not that there’s anything wrong with that
Oh, thank you great and wonderful Explainer. I had thought this whole gay men (or in the case of Craig, non-gay who performs gay acts) etiquette in public restrooms was a subject for the Explainer, and here you are. And it was so informative. All this time I thought a lot of tap dancers use the restroom the same time I did. I also thought ...
