Why are younger millennials so lazy with not working hard enough?
I remember back in my day, I used to be told what to do and slacking at work was never allowed. Now a day at jobs, especially fast food places and customer service places, it’s acceptable for younger millennials who are 19 or 20 to have fun, use social media on their phones during work time, and ok for them to be lazy with no supervision. Why is this ok with discipline fading?
5 AnswersPolls & Surveys15 hours agoWhy do diarrhea abdominal cramps feel so uncomfortable?
I think having diarrhea with abdominal cramps is the most unpleasant and uncomfortable feeling I ever experience in life. I will sit on a toilet too long and it feels like when I am constipated or try to poop, it feels like a sharp pain like I want to be left alone and not sure how to get rid of it. It’s just so bad of a feeling that it especially gets worse if someone pounds on the door when I am in the bathroom and tells me to hurry up that I feel like I am going to die . Why does this feel so uncomfortable? It’s like if I have an enema, that will really make me poop and be unpleasant.
3 AnswersPolls & Surveys15 hours agoDo you feel like you wasted all these years of time on Yahoo! Answers when you found out about Yahoo! Answers shutting down?
I think it was a waste of 16 years using Yahoo! Answers and Yahoo won’t even give users a reward, payment, or some kind of benefit prize for being an active participate on Yahoo! Answers. Why can’t they at least do this? If they can’t, do you feel like you wasted time and all these years on Yahoo! Answers?
7 AnswersYahoo Answers15 hours agoDo you think people should be allowed to text while at work?
Nowadays, I see people (especially these young kids!) text a lot and even when they are at work or are a cashier, in fast food places, and stores, they are allowed to have their cell and text even when they wait on a customer! When there is nothing to do and when it is slow, they text, talk on the phone, and play on their phone! Why is this allowed?
Do you think companies should ban all cell phones and discipline their employees more? Should they take away their phone? I know if I was the boss, I would take away their phone and hold on to it before their shift because cell phones are a distraction and I don’t pay employees to text while on the clock! They should be doing something productive and work related. Do you agree?
3 AnswersPolls & Surveys4 years agoHas any girl ever asked you to take a picture with you in it?
This may be rare but if you are at a bar or a club, would some random girl ever treat you like a player and ask you to be in a picture with her even if they don’t know you? Like they may want to show their friends that they are with some hot random guy or something and might take your picture for their phone. How common is this?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating4 years agoWhy do people treat me like I have special needs?
I do have Aspergers which is a form of autism but I am not retarded. Every time I go to events or help volunteer for special needs people, the staff there who I volunteer with treat me like I am one of the special needs people and it really insults me. For instance, a volunteer person would say to me: “You don’t have to lift all those things. Please be careful.” Or she would say something like: “Are you sure you are capable of doing that?” And I would say: “What do you mean?” Then she would say something like: “I think you better let one of the staff do that.” She would treat me completely like I am disabled and stupid and it drives me crazy!
Why do people treat me like I am severely disabled? Is this rude of them? How can I show people I am a normal human being?
1 AnswerSpecial Education4 years agoIs it creepy to find out where your date lives?
If I met a girl for the first time and if I walked her home after the date and saw where she lived, will it be creepy to go over to her place, ring her buzzer, and ask her if she wants to do something? Especially if she won’t answer your texts or get back to you. If I know where she lives and just wanted to visit her and say that I was walking down her street and stopped by and visit her, will this be weird behavior and would she think I am stalking her? Or would she be flattered I came to visit her because I know where she lives after I walked her home and remembered her house!
2 AnswersSingles & Dating4 years agoIs it creepy to walk my date home?
Let’s say if I meet a girl for the first time in person and she lived in my neighborhood and if I asked if she wanted me to walk her home, would she think I am a stalker or would she think I am sweet? I am supposed to meet a girl this weekend for the first time and she lives in my area. However, we don’t really know each other. I want to walk her home since she will be walking to the bar with me.
Will she think that is a nice thing to do or would she think of me as a stalker if I ask if she wants me to walk her home and if I asked what street she lives on?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating4 years agoWhy would someone deactivate their Facebook?
I know someone who deactivated their Facebook because she had said someone was stalking her. If that’s the case, why doesn’t she just block them? Is deactivating their Facebook more severe and the way to do things than blocking that person?
1 AnswerFacebook4 years agoIs talking to a married woman a good reason for her husband to press charges?
I met this one woman from a friend. She is already married. Lately, I have been sending her a lot of messages and I told her she could call me and e-mail me. I even asked for her number and e-mail. My friend told me her husband was really aggravated and said I was being inappropriate. In fact, I heard he actually called the police on me and wanted to press charges on me because I was annoying her. However, she did not tell me to stop contacting her. I sent her probably like 10 messages in a week when she didn’t respond. I told her she can text me or e-mail me whenever and I kept asking for her number. She deactivated her Facebook instead of blocking me. Why would she do that instead of just blocking me if she didn’t want to talk?
Am I going to get in trouble if they press charges against me? Is this harassment? I got a missed phone call from a police number today so I am worried they may be looking for me. If someone presses charges for something like this, will I get arrested? What will happen?
Also, her husband told my friend that I seem like a stalker and I don’t want to be accused. How can I solve this problem? If the police were really looking for me and if it was that important, wouldn’t they leave me a message or leave me a letter in my apartment if they were there? How would I know? How long would it take for the police to track me down and do they take these complaints seriously? I wouldn’t know what to do if someone complained to the police on me.
3 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships4 years agoWhy do girls ignore my question when I ask for their number?
I would talk to some girls from an online dating site and when I message them with my number and ask for their number, they don’t comment back. They respond to the message but they change the topic and avoid the question. Here is an example. I would say something like: “Here is my number…..(with giving number) You can text me anytime. Can you send me your number?” Then the only answer I would get is: “Hey good to hear from you. So what do you like doing in your free time? I been working a lot lately.” Her saying that is going off topic and avoiding the question then I would say: “Hey, did you not get my message about the number? Can we text?” Then she wouldn’t say anything or respond.
Why is it girls do that?!! I mean, all she had to say was: “I actually rather talk more online first.” She totally didn’t comment back on the question about her number or answer and I got no number. Why is that?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating4 years agoWhy do people ask me questions at a store when I don’t work there?
I went to Giant Eagle today just to shop and some random customer had asked me a question about where to find peanut butter. She had asked me what aisle she can find peanut butter in. I told her that I don’t work here then she said: “Yeah I know but I thought you would know. I see you shop here all the time and you usually know the store.” Then she had asked me if I could help her lift something so I wanted to be nice and say yes so I helped her and I felt like I was an employee who worked there. I even said to her: “I am just curious, why not just ask an employee who works here for help instead of a complete stranger?” Then she didn’t answer and just laughed.
Why is it people ask me for help when I am not an employee or ask me a question? Do you find this annoying? Does this happen to you where some customer asks you a question when you don’t work at the store? It’s like they want to have a random conversation! Would it be rude of me to refuse to answer and not help someone lift either? It’s not like they can fire me because I don’t work at the store!
8 AnswersEtiquette4 years agoWhat will happen if I called an emergency number when it wasn’t an emergency?
Let’s say I called up the doctor’s office and I got the answering machine because the office was closed. However, the machine would give an emergency number to call the doctor who is on call that you can page for an emergency. What would happen if I called the emergency number when it wasn’t an emergency and if I was being silly trying to bug the doctor and goof off with personal talk or if I called that emergency number when it really wasn’t an emergency but if I had something to ask? Would I get in big trouble by this? Is this pretty serious just like calling 9-11 and making false calls with playing a prank like the boy who cried wolf?
Or if it was a mistake calling the emergency number, would this go against me?
6 AnswersLaw & Ethics4 years agoWhat does the phrase: “cracking down on something” mean?
I heard the manager say something like: “We are really going to start cracking down the rule on cell phone usage.” What does that phrase cracking down mean? When you crack down on something, what does that mean?
11 AnswersWords & Wordplay4 years agoWhy don’t I ever get change in $1.00 bills in coffee shops?
I noticed in coffee shops, the barista usually gives me change of a $5.00 instead of actual 1’s. If something costs $4.02 and if I give a $10.00, I feel like I am being ripped off because I get a $5.00 back with coins instead of getting actual change in $1.00 bills!
Why don’t they give me change in $1.00 bills instead and give me 5 1’s instead of a 5? Most likely I would need change sooner or later and most places try to keep their ones!
2 AnswersPolls & Surveys4 years agoWhy are girls cussing on Valentines Day?
I went to a party for Valentines Day last year and these girls I met there were very low class, kept cussing like a sailor, and showing disrespect. Why can’t girls use proper manners when they go to a party at a bar? Especially on Valentines Day?! Whatever happened to class? What gives these women a right to swear?
1 AnswerValentine's Day4 years agoWhat should I do if a girl takes a naked picture of me while I am sleeping?
This girl I am dating slept over my place and I found out when I was sleeping she took a naked picture of me and showed her friends from her phone and she is spreading it around to embarrass me! She even put it up on Facebook or hacked in my Facebook account and I can’t delete it because she changed my password. How do I solve this? It is all over the Internet and it is ruining my reputation! Now everywhere I go, people make fun of me including people she knows. Is this illegal for her to do that?
5 AnswersSingles & Dating4 years agoHow likely is it that a guy will pretend to be a girl?
I am on a dating website and I am worried that a guy may be using a girl’s profile to pretend it’s really a girl I am talking to. How do I know if it is really a girl I am talking to? What are my chances? For instance, a girl could be giving me her number and all this time it could be the guy texting me from her phone and having her boyfriend message me instead of her! How likely is it that it’s really the girl and not her boyfriend texting me from her phone?
It's like the movie: "Disconnect" I don't know if I am really talking to a girl because anything could happen and people could pretend to be different people to play a prank! Especially if that person would ask me to send them a picture of myself and that person won’t really be a girl that is interested but pretends to be a girl and is really a guy to show her friends who dumb I am and ugly.
3 AnswersSingles & Dating4 years agoHow will my dentist know I have an ulcer instead of gum injury?
Lately, I noticed my gum inside my top mouth has been hurting and every time I chew, it hurts. I am supposed to go to the dentist tomorrow and get that checked. I heard it may be a sign of a mouth ulcer. How will the dentist be able to tell if I have an ulcer or not? If I do have an ulcer, are they easy to cure? I am hoping the case is I just chewed on something hard and have an injury to the gum where my gum was sensitive.
How do you treat mouth ulcers?
3 AnswersDental4 years agoWhy do people need to have shots?
Let’s say if you were a kid growing up and you never once were vaccinated and never had any shots, what would happen? I have asked people this question and they said that you can get really sick and have a weak immune system or even die. Is this true? What will happen if you didn’t have any shots at all when growing up?
Also, how do you know if you have had all your shots? When you reach the age of 30, does this mean that you rarely get shots if you are a grown up and you don’t get shots as much as when you were a kid? Why do infants and kids get shots more than adults? I mean, adults it is more like a tetanus shot every 10 years, a flu shot once a year, and a hepatitis shot once every 8 years or so but it really depends. My question is why aren’t shots needed as much for adults but if you are a kid, you need more shots? I remember when I was a child, every doctor visit I will have to get a shot and I was always crying and scared!
