Has anyone else noticed that people no longer take responsibility for their own actions, but on the flip side they are almost always ready to be their brothers keepers? For example, They are willing to sue someone for something like burning their crotch because they placed hot coffee between their legs while driving, and are willing to tell their neighbor they do not know how to parent. Is this just a USA thing?

I've been wanting a Sardo Tight Rack for years as I play between 10-30 games a day. I recently started looking again at what is available and I haven't exactly been able to find out the difference between the M-2000, M-3000 and M-5000 except that the M-2000 is quite a bit more than the newer models. Does anyone out there know the practical differences in using the models and why the older model would be nearly 3 times as much?

Can you explain the difference in the models and the amount of wear, difficulty of use?

Thanks so much!

I need some good solid advice for what to do in this situation as it keeps happening to me at this technical, non customer service job.

We have SOP’s (Standard Operating Proceedure – basically directions), we are told to follow the SOP's and in fact make 'mistakes' that the managers bring to our attention if we do not follow these SOP's.

Tonight, I had a situation where I followed an SOP and as soon as I was done I was told by the 'lead', who functions as my supervisor so they only have to have one manager, "You cannot just blindly follow SOP's! You should ask!". I was told this because about a year ago, before I was here, an email came to this person saying to deviate from the SOP. I would not have gotten this email, and the SOP was never updated, there was also no way to know now to follow it. I have been told by managers that I must follow the SOP's, and I have been told by co-workers it is always best to follow SOPs as you cannot get into trouble for it.

So, I cannot follow them without asking, I cannot not follow them, it is not feasable to ask about 300 times a shift if it is ok to do what the SOP says to do.

This happens at least once a week with this person, and I have been at the job less than 3 months. I am basically in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation and I am not sure, after 15+ years in the corporate world how to handle this particular situation. So - what would you do, aside from finding a better job, in this situation?

I need some advice on how to handle this person when they being talking to me like I am a particularly stupid child who has to have a reminder note to breathe because that is how they speak to me every time this happens and then they get upset because I naturally mirror people (trust me, it is not a good instinct in this case!)

That you do not see Tony Blair and Robin Leach together?

(In much the same way you do not see Ross Perot and Frank Purdue together)

The verdict was death by hanging.

Has anyone else noticed that there are a lot of bitter and angry people on Yahoo! Answers that feel the need to attack people out of the blue with no provocation for answers they have given?

I noticed while being forced to watch this commercial (I was too lazy to find the remote) that all the people they replace are a bit thick about the waist, and they replace them with these thin supermodel types. Girls with small waists, guys that look built.

Is it just me, or do you see a not so subliminal message there?

Such as how to I 'make' them love me more or how do I 'make' them have sex with someone else.

To me it seems if they aren't doing what you want now, 'making' them do it is pretty silly, as it wastes both of your time.
