Is there a difference between being socially oblivious versus being socially awkward? If so, then what?

Where's the exercise thread? I'm pretty sure we had one.

Thanks!
I've been watching Al Jazeera this evening and there's a lot of news about Saudi women wanting to drive and some clips of women with niqab (face veil) driving. I was wondering, if they drive with niqab, would it cut off their peripheral vision? I'm not talking about a burqa which would definitely obscure vision but I mean, when everything but the eyes are covered. Would that effect driving?

Plenty of people in this country drive wearing a niqab, and it's perfectly legal. Here is a published paper on the subject:

Why do Americans wear those overly long quick tight white vests? It always seems Mexicans in America are wearing them.

It is nearly impossible to get an appliance in something that isn't white, black, or stainless steel. However, I know for a fact that there are people who have these fridges or crock pots or any other appliance and they're coloured differently. How does that get done? I imagine you can't paint these appliances, so how does that work and is it costly?
It's nearly impossible now. That wasn't true 15-20 years ago. Back then a number of other colors were common, like brown, tan, green. So you may have been seeing some older appliances. Now, some high end appliances have the option of attaching your own custom facing panels to them, so you can make them look just like your kitchen cabinets. Otherwise, you're stuck with the manufactures color choice, or to paint them. And I wouldn't recommend painting them, unless it's an old thing that looks like hell, and you're just trying to cover up that fact. If you do decide to go that route, get spray paint made for a car, and get directions like painting a car. That is, you'll have to sand down the original finish enough for the new paint to stick. It's a lot of work for little return. I wouldn't bother.
Go to Sears.com and pick what appliance you want. Start refining your search based on color you want as the first criteria the narrow it down from there. For those not in America/without Sears... move to America where we have Sears.
It's still mostly like Cut said, but you can get lucky and get far out colors sometimes.
