    Out of curiosity, CCR, how many male coworkers do random, nice things for you at work?

    I am a Sexist, Egotistical, Lying Hypocritical Bigot.

    So I have a few faults.

    Is that any reason to kill me?

    Do your co-workers like you or tolerate you?
    I think that I am well liked. Ive never had any problems with coworkers. Im a very laid back guy.

    Are you a smart@ss?
    No I am not, but I can be sometimes. Especially when playing around with friends.

    If yes, do you know when to turn it off/on?
    Yes

    Do people find it easy to confide in you?
    Yes, they do.

    Does it matter to you whether or not people actually like you?
    Nope.

    At my first work, pretty much. At my last workplace, no.

    In general, I am indifferent towards other people and for some reason, a lot of pepole have a problem with that. I mean, I don't care if someone doesn't want to know about my musical taste or what I do at home. Unfortunately, there are people who can't grasp this concept about others not caring about their lives.

    Do I care? As long as they don't openly show their feelings, no I don't.

    1. My co-workers love me, except for this one idiot that I worked graveyard hours with back then.. He's an @$$....

    2. Based on my answer on #1.... nah.

    3. I was never a smart@ss.

    4. Yes, sometimes over stuff that I really don't want to hear about.

    5. Sadly, yes, it bugs me otherwise.

    I don't work directly with any guys, so I wouldn't expect gestures of that magnitude from them. The coworkers I mentioned before all work/ed in my immediate department (literally within 20 feet of me or less). But of the guys I am acquainted with here, all of them engage in friendly conversation, offer handshakes in passing, etc. If any of them dislike me, they do a great job of disguising it.

    I know what you're trying to get at, and to a certain extent I'm sure that's a factor (when is it not?) but for the most part, I'd say I'm treated the same across both genders. Not sure if it makes a difference, but all the female coworkers I mentioned before are in the 45-60 year old range, and they are not the least bit physically attractive even for their ages. I would hope their motives aren't sexual in nature lol :eek:

    Do your co-workers like you or tolerate you?
    I only have three other co-workers. One is my boss, one is the secretary, and the other has essentially the same job title as me (except that she's been here longer). I consider myself pretty well liked. The secretary and I get along great. We are all women.

    Are you a smart@ss?
    Very much so.

    If yes, do you know when to turn it off/on?
    Most of the time. I'm sure I can go a bit too far on occasion.

    Do people find it easy to confide in you?
    Generally. I often wonder why people tell me the things that they do.

    Does it matter to you whether or not people actually like you?
    It does matter to me. I have known very few people who didn't find me likeable, and when that was the case, it typically stemmed from some sort of misunderstanding. I'm not saying that everyone likes me, but if someone doesn't like me, I would hope that it's for a good reason. If it's not, then I probably want little to do with that person to begin with.

    Follow the golden rule!

    "Oh yeah I would totally go out with him if I were a woman or gay, that Kurt looks like a cuddler, I like to be held"




    name that episode...



    To answer the question, most people hate me or at least tolerate me.

    I think of myself as a nice guy who loves to make fun of anything and everything.

    Yeah, I wasn't trying to insinuate that you weren't a nice a guy or that you weren't genuinly well liked, I just thought it kind of funny (knowing you and what you look like) seeing that all your examples were of women. Similar to macalu, my wife has seen pics of our games and she has voiced her own opinion of your relative hotness. So of course I told her that I dunk on you pretty much every game. I think she knew it was bull**** but didn't say anything, which is one of the reasons I love her. :)

    I think people generally like me because I'm very nice and non-argumentative. I'm trying to find a balance - I want my opinions heard and i want to be able to voice my thoughts (especially political and spiritual) but most of the time I'm too worried that people won't like me.

    i get along with management pretty well--with the exception of one of the managers

    am i a smartass? i guess i would say i am

    i can turn it off and on pretty easily

    people do find it easy to talk to me and confide in me, i've had a few people do so in the past.


    there are a few people at work who dislike me, and i do not like them mainly because they are either a)childish or b) do not want to be held accountable for anything they do ....but the majority of the office place dislikes the 3 people at work that I do not like for the same reasons. (one of them is the manager that i dont get along with)

    the most part the rest of the office gets along with me i am sure there are a few people who dont like me but dont say it to my face, not a big deal for me, but i would say estimate that at least 80% of the office gets along with me.

    can't say I'd care..

    Are you a smart@ss?
    oh.. here and there..

    If yes, do you know when to turn it off/on?
    of course..

    Do people find it easy to confide in you?
    just one person I can think of.. she's currently on a 'weed run'..

    Does it matter to you whether or not people actually like you?
    depends on what people you're referring to..
