If the guest bath is right there and unoccupied. I assume they know each other. She didn't object when he asked permission. That must have "implied" it was ok? He could eat it there tidily. After eating, people are tired and she said he could come inside. I'm assuming it's a rest, not a full out lay down and snooze. Curling up behind a large chair is strange. Not shocking per se or really "eccentric". (unless he's puts on a clown wig while doing it?) I know people who do that or sit on the carpet in front of the sofa but yes, this was strange.

The "cross expression" part isn't in italics, so you're not supposed to rate that.

That's funny, considering that some posters find my behavior in this group autistic.

Not really, I get very annoyed with people at these aisles but have since learned to say nothing - to be truthful my wife told me off. > > It's strange to overreact like that.

Now that is gross! It should all have been planned and organised before even leaving the house with a contingency for a problem. > >> Story No. 3 B,B > Sandwiches probably have meat with sodium nitrite which is harmful to > small animals and pigeons eat seeds.

That is just not acceptable - going through peoples stuff without their permission. > > She is his senior so Ms. DeWitt or Madam would be more proper. Madam in the circumstances should be acceptable, however she addressed him by his first name so it is fair to assume that she wished to be addressed in the same manner. But once again it depends how he originally introduced himself. > >> Story No. 5 A,A > Skipping breakfast is normal. Yup, happens all the time. > > She's hungry and it's wasting food. Why not?

He could but its just a bit weird to do this in front of everyone. > > Rude to delay dinner for someone else when the point of dinner is to > eat together right? The point of dinner is to consume a meal, the point of a dinner invitation is to share the experince with other people. > >> Story No. 7 A,A > She's only not touching the forbidden food right?

Yes this is strange as he only asked for space to eat his lunch. She did not give him permission to crash out. Going by this logic and his freedom of the house why didn't he just find a bedroom and crash out? > > Curling up behind a large chair is strange. Not shocking per se or > really "eccentric". (unless he's puts on a clown wig while doing it?) > I know people who do that or sit on the carpet in front of the sofa > but yes, this was strange. Yes weird indeed! Incidentaly I got an 11 which told me I didn't seem to have any problems but that a professional would have to diagnose me - go figure!!!!!!! C |
