Don't make up stories about yourself, especially if you live in a small town. People will find out the truth and then you just look like an idiot (not to mention a little less-than-sane).
[back stories:
#1: This kid who was a total bully to me in HS somehow got it going that he was the CEO/founder of some company that was comparable to Build-a-Bear and it was successful and he was loaded.....turns out..he sells phones at the Spring kiosk in the mall. How did everyone find out the truth? His wedding announcement in the newspaper. FAIL.
#2: This guy I was actually very good friends with for the bulk of HS emailed me randomly and told me he was a personal assistant in NYC and he was rolling in cash and he had his own "we'll organize your home and your life" kind of business.....Saw him walking out of our local furniture store with a company polo & nametag on last week....]

If someone offers you a piece of gum or a mint, take it.

Go light on the perfume. You may not be able to smell it anymore, but trust me, everyone else can.

YES! Great one. And more people are allergic to it than you may think. Please don't kill them (read: me)
Smokers-just because you douse yourself in cologne or smoke outside does not mean that I can't smell it on you 2 hours later and need to leave the room. No, not everyone enjoys that scent and yes, some people are allergic to it (read: me again).
Cologne or perfume does not make up for a shower. Deodorant is a good start, though.

Hello fellow multiple allergy sufferer!
My correct advice is always run spellcheck. Always. Even if no red lines show up.

Writing in all caps does not excuse you from knowing proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Many consider it to be quite rude and it is difficult to read.

Never, ever lie about your fraternal affiliations.

I have to ask...does this happen very often? It seems obvious that you wouldn't lie about your fraternal affiliations but, does it really happen that often? Do you mean, don't lie and say you belong to ABC when you actually belong to XYZ or do you mean if you aren't in any GLO, don't lie and say you pledged, initiated, crossed, etc.?
That is dumb when people do that. People will eventually find out you are a liar-just like TPA said about the guys in her town who lied about their cushy jobs. People eventually find out-ya' know?

I've heard so many stories about people who are not a member of any organization but say that they are affiliated.
I too do not see the point but ... to each his own ... ?

0.2 points out of a total of 25 on a lab report DOES NOT COUNT for anything. Do NOT ask your teacher/TA/professor to change your grade and give you 0.2 points back!

Yes, that just seems weird to me.
Advice: Learn to forgive. Stop holding a grudge. It only makes things worse.

For both men AND women!
Learn how to cook at least one dinner, from soup to nuts, better than anyone else.
Always have the ingredients to one meal or part of a meal (for a potluck) on hand.
Never, ever, allow a unibrow on your face!
Minty floss is your friend.

Is there anything we disagree on?

If you ever come to DC and travel on our Metro...
When you get on the escalators move to the far right to let people who want to move ahead do so...you always can spot out of towners by the ones who hold up the escalators.

This is actually a REALLY big deal in the Metro in Madrid, Spain. DO NOT be standing on the left side especially when you hear a train pull into the station. You will get mowed over.
