How hard is it to say thank you?

megamatt @megamatt (14291) • United States 16 Dec 10

niara25 Unfortunately, we live in a very selfish society. This saddens me. Gratitude is almost nonexistent. People often say thank you in a manner that you were obligated to them in the first place. In our society, those words have lost meaning to most. They just toss...

are you afraid of plane rides?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 16 May 10

I am. The prospect of riding one brings in all sorts of bad images in my mind,of accidents, of dying and leaving my loved ones. I am really scared of traveling especially by plane since you're way up there and when something goes...

niara25 You are so right. That's the attitude I take. I pray before getting on a plane. Then I get on and go to sleep. Your death will happen anywhere when it's your time. I try not to dwell on things like that and go on. I'm not particularly fond of air travel, but...

niara25 It's the same way with me. I work very hard, but it's not enough they (management) say. However, another young man comes in gets more hours and does no work. Management has its picks and chooses. I'm not one of them.

Texting and Driving

ShelleD @ShelleD (30) • United States 1 Apr 10

Just a few months ago, my state has made it a mandatory law to ban texting while driving. While I love technology, I am for this new law. It's hard enough to drive and operate a vehicle defensively without adding the risk factor...

niara25 Yes, common sense would dictate that you focus on driving. Because common sense is dead in our society, laws like this have to be created to protect the rest of us from those selfish bast--ds who believe their wants are most important. I was almost hit by an...

niara25 Most of these people don't want money for the bus or train. They just want money, period. I don't give them money. I have offered to pay their fare by putting a fare card on the bus or train for them. I keep my fare cards. When they decline, you know they are...

niara25 Thank you for saying this. It is my firm believe that customer service begins with the customer. Behavior plays a big part. Customers or consumers have a misplaced sense of entitlement which causes damage on so many levels. The only thing they are entitled to...

Would you wait in line for an hour and half or longer for a free meal?

ladym33 @ladym33 (10979) • United States 9 Feb 10

niara25 There isn't a Denny's in my immediate area. I couldn't fathom waiting that long for anything. My patience for waiting isn't that great. An hour for breakfast? I would either go somewhere else and pay or cook at home if I have to have a free breakfast.

niara25 My handwriting isn't the greatest. However, when I use a gel pen, it looks better to me. The diameter of the pen also makes a difference. The size of the barrel of the pen determine how you hold it, thus affecting penmanship.

Doctor will be indicted

Chrissy @Java09 (3075) • United States 8 Jan 10

niara25 The doctor should lose his license simply because he administered a drug to Michael Jackson that should not have been used outside a hospital in a non-surgical procedure. He was poisoned by the drug. It is unfortunate that Mr. Jackson died, celebrity status...

niara25 I don't text. Verizon sends texts that eat up the money I put on the prepaid phone for minutes. I didn't open them but was still charged. This is why I am no longer a customer of Verizon. I'm back with T-Mobile prepaid.
