Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Partly inspired by the PC madness this week:I was once walking down a narrow pavement when I saw a mother pushing a push-chair, coming towards me. The pavement was too narrow for us both, so I stepped aside, onto the road, to let her pass. As I did this, a Max Power stickered boy racer car screeched past within inches of my buttocks.
"Jesus Christ!" I exclaimed, only to be given the filthiest, icy glare from the mother, who tartly informed me she was a Christian and took offense to my blasphemy, helpfully adding that I could look forward to an eternity in the Lake of Fire before marching away.
Have you ever been insulted, penalised or mocked for an act of politeness or generosity?
