How would you let someone from a different culture (Asian, likely Japanese) know that they are doing something rude without putting them on the spot in their workplace? I'm a client paying for my take-out at a small authentic restaurant and quite pregnant. The female asian clerk is laying it on ...

I live in a three bedroom apartment with three of my former colleagues. Two of us have a room of their own, while I share my room with P(his initial name). P is also the most outspoken and social amongst us and we usually have a good chat now and then. But most of the time his behaviour is really...

I recently accepted receipt of some flowers for a neighbour who wasn’t home. We don’t know the neighbour at all (even to say hi on the street). The flowers are clearly for a death in their family. The delivery person said they had put a card through their door explaining that we have the flowers...

Background: My siblings are used to spending money without a care in the world and it has leaked into the games we play. When we play games they always want to bet. When I ask them if we can just play for fun I am met with a lot of peer pressure and criticism. I just want to have fun and not make...

I have a job where I frequently meet new clients. Sometimes this is good, but often, it can be quite difficult. I'll meet people who I have nothing in common with. So we'll explore a few topics - sports, weather, family life or whatever - basically just small talk. Basically, if I find no inter...

I know there is a similiar question but this one is not answering mine. So sorry for that. I'm 27. And here is few words for introduction... This insecurity isn't in my confidence at all. Quite the contrary I'd never had a problem to get the girl (in perfunctory(?) way). It's really hard for me ...

I'm a client paying for my take-out at a small authentic restaurant and quite pregnant. The female asian clerk is laying it on thick with "Are you sure there is just one in there?", "When are you due?" (hint: not that soon!), and more. I'm assuming she may not be native to the culture because she...

Here's the link to the question: How to respond if your colleague is rude to you? The moderator put the question on hold pretty quickly stating that it is not related to interpersonal skills. I feel that he has been over-strict with the rules and has killed this question from any discussion. Wh...

So, just yesterday iOS 12 came out for Apple devices. All of my family (including me) use Apple devices faithfully. My dad has used a Mac since they were first commercially available for the public. iOS 12 has some serious parental control upgrades that will allow my parents to have complete co...

Okay, so here's the situation: I'm a 16 and / or male, and there's this girl I like in my physics class (11th grade, not sure if 16 or 17), she's new to the high school, moved from cali to wa over the summer and does not seem to have many friends yet. We sit in the same table groups, the only rea...

I have an acquaintance whom has a PhD in Child Psychology. So on a regular basis, he is having to deal with mental disorders in children and the broken families they come from. In a recent Facebook post, he said something to the effect that were he a parent, he would never forget about his chil...
