Everyone interprets respect differently. Everyone has different examples of respect or disrespect. Personally, respect is treating people and their things the way you would want you and your things to be treated. When people take my things or touch my stuff without asking, it bothers me.
A couple months ago, I was picking up some garbage from around the house because it was garbage night. After I made my way around the house, I walked out the door with the white, apple scented garbage bag in my right hand to make my way to the big forest green garbage cans marked with my home address, 331 Earl Ave. Finally when I reached the garbage cans that sit under the lean to that is attached to our garage, I lifted the lid and glanced down inside. When I saw the tie blanket that I made sitting at the bottom of the garbage can, I grew angry.
I made the blanket myself as a gift. One side of the blanket had footballs all over it and the other side was black, made out of fleece so it was really soft and warm. I had no idea who had thrown it in there and I was beyond angry. So, I called my mom on her work phone because it was about eleven in the morning. I told her that I found the blanket in there and asked her about it, and if she knew why it was there. She told me that she had no idea why it was in the garbage. I knew my boyfriend, Chris, didn’t throw it out because I made it for him for Christmas last year. My sister is never home and that left my mom’s boyfriend, Kevin. It’s in his personality for him to do something like that because of incidents that have occurred in the past. He would eat my leftovers in the fridge or something that I had planned for my lunch the next day and he didn’t even care. I just assumed it was him.
Being the outgoing person that I am, I texted Kevin as soon as I could. I asked him why he threw my blanket in the garbage and why he thought that it was okay. I also told him that I thought that was disrespectful. I texted, “I don’t do that to you,

    When I was younger, around three or four, I liked to play tricks on my mother when we went shopping at the mall. But, one day the trick did not go over so well. That was the day I decided to hide behind the clothing racks in Macy’s. This was something I usually did, but this time my mother did not see me trying to hide in the first place. Because of this, she thought someone had come around and kidnapped me when she was not looking. She then began to panic. Though I was too young to understand that doing this stunt was a bad idea to begin with, I was only enough to know how much trouble I would be in when she found me. So, I continued to hide. That plan was not well thought out either, because when I finally emerged…

    I want to start by saying you should stayed around to see what he wanted to do about his car even though I feel as though it came with the nature of the situation. You have to understand that other people value their things and you should value them as well.

I DOUBT that. However, its possible. I feel like you should reach out if your embarrassment really has died down and you can laugh at the situation when brought up. (He'll bring it…

    I was sitting at the Warren high school football game Friday evening, when I started listening to my mom and sisters conversation. My sister Tonya just showed up at the game and my mom said to her “Hey how have you been?” Tonya said, “I have been great, but really busy helping Richard build a cage for our new pets.” My mom was unaware that she got new pets so she said, “Oh, what new pets?” My sister said, “We just got two baby squirrels!” At this point my mother was completely shocked, and didn’t know what to say. It was silent for a brief second, and then my mom said, “What do you feed them.” My sister said, “They eat nuts, fruit, veggies, seeds, and corn.” My mom said, “Wow, that’s funny! Did you find them at the farm?” This is when my uncle Jim popped his head in the conversation and said, “A squirrel is just a rat with good public relations.” After a little bit of laughter my sister answered, “Yes, we found them at the farm. Richard and his uncle cut down a tree and they were living in it. He felt bad, so he caught them, and brought them home for me. Oreo still hasn’t seen them!” Oreo is their pet black pug. My mom said “Oh, just wait till he finds them, he will go crazy! I thought Richard was going to make him a hunting dog.” My sister said, “Wow, what a hunting dog! He isn’t very smart, you know?” My mom argued, “He is very smart!” Then she said, “When you get the chance you should send me a picture of the new pets.” My sister said, “OK, I will.” Then she asked, “Can you think of any good names?” My mom said, “Yeah, you could name them Biscuit and gravy, Chip and Dale, or Rocky and Bullwinkle.” My sister said, “Yes! Those are very creative names.” My uncle popped his head in again and said, “Enough squirrel talk! Watch the game!” My mom and sister, at the same time said, “OK!” After that everyone got quiet for a second, and then the talking started again. At this point I was tired of listening, so I started watching the…

    We had just gotten back from a very disappointing game. I don’t remember what the score was but we got lose pretty bad. So there are a number of us chilling around the park talking afterwards and we all decided that we needed to get some weed and go hangout somewhere and try and forget about the beating we had just gotten in the game earlier that night. We all chipped in and one of the guys made a weed run. When he got back we decided that it wasn’t a good idea to stick around the park and smoke so we were trying to figure out someplace to go and chill. Then Dave chimes in that his family had just moved from their home a couple weeks earlier and the place was still empty and he still had his key. It sounded like a pretty good place to go to the rest of us so we jumped in our cars and headed on over to Dave’s old house. We pull up to the place and Dave jumps out goes and unlocks the door for us. We all get inside and start playen some music and smoking and haven a good ‘ol time. So we’re all having a pretty good time until after a while Dave, the guy whose place it was, starts throwing bottles around and trashing the place. My friends and I saw this and knew something was up so we all decided to split. After we left it wasn’t to late yet so some of us take a little joyride around town before we head home. Well, when we got back to school the following Monday we thought it was going to be just another day at school but later in the morning the cops show up. One by one all of us who had been at the party end up getting called down to the front office and are questioned by the cops. 5 guys ended up getting arrested that day (I wasn’t one of them). It turns out that the house we went to that night wasn’t actually Dave’s. His Family had just been renting the house and had been evicted from it a couple weeks earlier. The cops tracked us down because they got fingerprints from the house and a couple of the guys already had a record with the cops and they…

    I ran down to have my breakfast. It was ten past seven. Only five minutes to go. So, I took a few sips of milk. Then, I took my school bag from the chair. In a rush, I clumsily knocked down the glass of milk. Shatters of broken glass and milk were all over the carpet. My mum ran from the kitchen to see what had happened. She was so furious with me that she started lecturing me on my clumsiness. I had no time to clean up the mess, so I apologized and immediately went to front door to put on my shoes. Suddenly, I remembered that I left my lunch pack in the kitchen. Running back to kitchen, I almost cried when I heard the bus hooting outside.…

    Everything seemed to be going fine, until one day. See I showed up to the apartment like I had been for a month to baby-sit the kids, while the wife left to do her errands and Joe was supposed to be sleeping, which gave me a chance to work on my homework. See Joe looked asleep when I went to put the youngest in to his crib, which happened to be in his parents’ room. While working on my homework, Joe called me from the bedroom, so I thought that maybe the baby was awake and that is why Joe was calling me. When I noticed that the baby was still asleep, I asked Joe why he called me to the room if the baby was not awake.…
