Dear Baba Rumcake,
I’m at a bar and someone I’m talking to asks, “So, if I give you my number will you call me?”
I responded with a simple smile of flattery and a verbal “No.”
He thought I was rude for saying that and told me so. I resisted saying he was rude for asking such a loaded question.
So, which is ruder?
Tell the person no, you won’t call him. It might hurt their feelings, but they know where they stand.
Tell the person yes, you’ll call and then let them wait for a phone call which will never come, and eventually causes them to think you’re a jerk for making an empty promise.

Inconsiderate Walkers vs Conscientious Strollers
Dear Baba Rumcake,
What is the best way to deal with sidewalk hogs?
I don’t feel like I should be the one to walk in the grass (or mud), because I am walking by myself.
I need to know the most polite way to handle this problem, while not just letting people walk all over me.

Dear Baba Rumcake,
How can you tell when a girl is trying to sabotage a relationship even though she claims she loves you? She flirts with others. Do other guys ever experience this?

Hit The Snooze Button
Dear Baba Rumcake,
My apartment walls are paper thin and my neighbor sleeps through and/or hits the snooze button from the break of dawn and it’s really getting on my nerves. Sometimes I work throughout the night and need as much sleep as I can in the morning. Sometimes the alarm goes off for hours then randomly hits snooze off and on. I left an anonymous note before but it hasn’t stopped. I wonder if the neighbors on the other side are just as annoyed. Suggestions?
