You have nieces and nephews, ages 4-12, who you see maybe 3 or 4 times a year. They never refer to you as “aunt” or “uncle”, they always use your first name only. How much does this bother you?

  • Not in the least. I wouldn’t even cross my mind to correct them.
  • Not at all, although I would notice it and not say anything.
  • I would prefer they use aunt/uncle/similar but I would not bring it up.
  • I might mention it in a joking manner.
  • I would ask them to use aunt/uncle/similar when speaking to me.
  • I would ask their parent(s) to instruct them to use aunt/uncle/similar.
  • I would absolutely insist that they use aunt/uncle/similar.
  • It depends, and I may or may not be troubled to elaborate in the polls discussion thread.
  • Other / something else / We’re so sorry, Uncle Albert.

You’re at a baseball game. You catch a foul ball, fair and square. It went right into your glove.
  • I keep it.
  • I hand it to someone I know (child, spouse, friend, another relative, etc.).
  • I hand it to some random kid.
  • I toss it back onto the field.
  • Something else.

You’re at a baseball game. You catch a home run ball that is historic for some reason (player’s first career HR, record-breaking HR, World Series game-winning walk off HR, etc.), fair and square. It went right into your glove.
  • I keep it, to keep it.
  • I hand it to someone I know (child, spouse, friend, another relative, etc.).
  • I hand it to some random kid.
  • I toss it back onto the field.
  • I immediately hand it over to the team official who comes to retrieve it and expect nothing in return.
  • I hand it over to the team official who comes to retrieve it but I expect to receive some modest token of recognition from the team/player (team memorabilia, autographed merch, etc.).
  • I keep it and ransom it to the team/player for all I can get out of them.
  • I keep it and auction it to the highest bidder.
  • Depends on the specific reason it’s “historic.”
  • Something else.

  • Coffee
  • Fruit
  • Ice cream
  • Meat
  • Pasta
  • Pastries (includes cake, pie, etc.)

  • Soft drinks, including the sugary ones
  • Tobacco (I know it’s not a food, can’t you just play along? Damn!)
  • Other / I cannot choose / Just eat it (eat it), eat it (eat it), get yourself an egg and beat it
  • Thank you so much for asking, W.H.O. Genie, but I will politely decline your generous offer
