Dear VOR,
If my neglectful, awful neighbors ask me to snow blow their driveway, what do I say? I do not want to do it. They had plenty of warning and could hire a plow. Should I hire the plow for them and pay or snow blow or pretend I don't understand what they are saying when they ask me? Should I just say "FF"?

Snow weary person

FFS, hell NO!
Unless that awful neighbor, is over 90 years old? The hell with that!

Let them pay for their own snow removal.

Okay, just a guess.
Just for fun.
They are older than me but they aren't 90! Hell no will become my mantra!

Dear VOR,
I have a dilemma. I don't know where my money is going. I work a good job and make a decent wage. I buy lunch when I'm at work and I usually stop and pick up dinner on the way home because I'm too exhausted to cook. Today when I went to get my third cup of Starbucks I realized I didn't have any money on me. What is happening?
Lost and broke

How much would a plow owner charge? Charge them half, cash up front.
Maybe $50 is reasonable.

Dear VOR,
My BFF watches trash tv and just told me she wants to watch porn. Should I drop her as a friend? I thought she had better values than that!

Don't be silly. Just go watch with her, and when the mood is right, start to kiss her. See how she reacts. That's what normal people do.
(Are you a guy or a gal? Either way is fine. )

I have a coworker who is sweet and kind to my face but talks behind my back. She's a vicious gossip wearing a nice person costume. Unfortunately, I have to work closely with her.

I've got one of those as well.

This one is envious. I've worked enough with her to know - she is absolutely livid when someone has or does something positive that she cannot. Me, I'm happy for others when they succeed, when they're happy... I'm glad I'm not her.
I had one of those too. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME it happens you must confront her. Do the confused head tilt and sk why she ould say whatever it is she said. When she denies it, shrug and walk away. It will keep happening but with less frequency. Most people who do this bank on their victim being afraid of confrontation.
Remember, head tilt, ask why, shrug at her denial, walk away. HASW.
Or, you can pull her aside and tell her that the next time there's a knife in your back, she may find a gun in her front. But only do this if you want to be committed and fired.

Do you think her co-workers have figured out yet what she is? They should all be aware that as soon as a person like this tires of their current target, they will target someone else, then someone else, then someone else.
No one is safe from these jerks.
What should you do? Maybe comment to other co-workers along the lines of "I wonder who she will target next."

The problem is, she really is a nice person... in some ways. Her gossip and jealousy are her bad points, but she has good points as well. She has most people (the ones she isn't jealous of) fooled.
She isn't totally evil. But it is very uncomfortable working around her, always trying not to say too much about myself that I don't want spread around. **sigh**
I pretty much remain pleasant as always and keep to myself.

I can definitely relate EXCEPT for the fact that I don't know for sure who it is, and we're a small department.
I have 2 suspects, both outwardly "nice" and well-liked.
And I agree 100% that it is motivated by jealousy.
