this is my dog. I usually don't let people touch
her, but this time...
What. Does. This. Person
Think. They're. Doing! You run up to the

You do it but you ask for her help here and
there as well as asking to eat one too. She
agrees to share, and you two sit down to a
delicious lunchtime meal.
You nod and make one as fast as you can,
you have to be polite to the guest! You place
the plate on the table and your mouth waters
at the sight. You don'...

The meal is finished and you sit down to watch TV. But, you slip and fall on water that your sister spilled and you fall on the TV. It falls down and smashes against the floor.
You know that if anyone found out, you would be in serious trouble. You could call your parents, but they might be mad instead of sympathetic. What do you do?

anything that might spoil the fun.
You would go...except that this antagonist is
going to be there...
Go! And if she even dares...oh..I am going to

It turns out that the person isn't coming! You go to the party and have the time of your life! You guys feast on sweets, and pretty soon, there is only one candy left. This is your favorite kind. You want it, but you ate the most as well. You could have it if you wanted, but you know that would be unfair. What's your decision?

Eat it, but be sure to be polite and not grab it
out of their hands, which would be rude./ No,
first
off, it's not any good for you, second, you

It's fine...that one probably hasn't even tried

Eat it of course! It's MY favorite, plus, if they take it, won't it be wasted?
No one's stopping me, and it IS made for guests to eat...so...

You go home, tired, but happy. You get home, and have a great night of rest...well until your sister wakes you up by splashing your face with freezing cold water. But for good or ill, you are late for an appointment and if she had not waken you up, you would have missed it. So hurrying, you think about the situation, how does it make you feel?

That was NOT wanted, but it did work, and she did it in favor. So what is there to be unhappy about? (Other than the fact that you're freezing and your bed i...
I DON'T need her to do anything for me! I'm fully independent, and now it's her to blame that I am shivering and I get to sleep on a water bed tonight!
That was nice of her...and there's nothing wrong with being cold, I'll be fine in a second, and it worked, right?!

You eat breakfast, and head off to your doctor's appointment. When you get there, you wait for two whole hours, before they call you last name. Still sleepy, you shuffle into room 107, where Nurse Morgan meets you. She greets you and you sit down.
That's when you realize she called your name wrong.

What...Maybe I should tell her, I mean, it IS annoying. And it's not like it was on purpose.
It's alright. It doesn't hurt. What if I said, and it totally came out mean?
Sheesh. And I thought this was a proffesional office! Jeez, even a phony could at least get a NAME right.
