At the end of the day, everyone is responsible for their own happiness and well-being.

When someone you know is expecting a baby, don't make negative comments about names they're considering.

Don't threaten to quit a job unless to you mean it

Don't comment on people's weight

Don't ask someone if they're sick or say they look bad (they might be fine and this will make them feel bad.)

Don't try out your jokes on cashiers and restaurant waitstaff.

Disagree. This pay thing was hammered in to keep people down and allow for racist, sexist unequal pay schemes. Maybe you mean conversations about compensation should be handled with tact, and people are entitled to privacy. But there is no shame in voluntarily participating in these conversations.

I totally agree! Think about it, who does it benefit if u don’t talk about pay with your coworkers?

Be kind and don't take yourself too seriously. Also, you do you--try not to get bogged in what others think.

DISAGREE!!! It’s private.

Do your grooming and hygiene, adjusting of undergarments, scratching of genitals, in private.

Outside of your immediate family no one really cares about your or your problems, proceed accordingly.

Or does it? Are they actually keeping track and you very much do have to pay them back in some way?

This. In US and Western World they keep count and you have to pay back. Back in a day, we didn't because we were all poor and taking someone's money or giving someone money, didn't make a difference. We all still stayed poor. I have lived in both worlds and see how they both makes sense in their respective worlds.

Huh? This is a bizarre comment and doesn't make sense. Friends here treat each other and don't payback or keep track other than roughly taking turns. No idea what you're referring to.

Probably a new thread. If my friends and I treat each other, I do the right thing and participate.

But I hate this. Let’s split the bill every time. I do keep mental track and if I slack it bugs me, and if they slack it bugs me. It’s *not hard at all* to split in some shape or form. Even the hardest split I’ve ever been a part of was do-able (NYC cash only huge huge huge group, bunch of people who didn’t really know each other—but we managed it!)

Blown away by the number of posters in this thread who claim altruism is the reason they leave their carts all over the place. That’s some next-level b.s..
