| I'm astounded when anyone pays attention to me. I've learned the lesson that it puts them off if I'm grateful and over enthusiastic, so I try and stay detached if anyone is interested in me. Yep, me too, exactly so. Which is the problem. We show interest - they get intimidated, scared, or something... |

| I guess it's a matter of place and level of alcohol. 1. In a comics book store "You have the latest XYZ?" "Not yet, but if you like that you might enjoy ABC." 2. In a café "Oh I just got the latest issue of XYZ!" "Yeah, I don't know much about comics but good for y... |

Yes, not so often nowadays, and I wouldn't say it is/was a problem, but yes.

No, if everybody except you is getting drunk you're the weird one.

| Just something to keep in mind - if you are going to report on it or make decisions based on your results. No I'm not. You said you had a “hunch”. You could also call this your “hypothesis”. The results will only prove (or disprove) your hypothesis as far as your universe. I guess Hypothesis could ... |

That is a fair claim. How should I do it, you think?

And to be clear, I don't really seek for discussions. I think it's OK whatever your believes are, as long as you're a decent person.
I used to call myself an atheist, but I prefer the term agnostic now.

Ok, fair, this has been discussed before.
I don't travel to all sub forums, because I just don't have the time.
If it's a question that is against the rules, please mods feel free to delete it!
Anyways, temp1234, why didn't you vote?

| I've had the exact oposite experience. I drink at least half a litre of milk with my lunch, so I tend to bring my own, I am also a bit picky with what kind of milk to drink. But I've been told several times that I should just have some of the milk supplied by the workplace. FWIW, I think you're in t... |

| It was OK for me in my youth, but it's been getting worse over the years. Bad breath, perfumes, artificial smells like in some chewing gums and energy drinks. I believe it's a major reason why I started smoking, not that I'd advice anyone to do the same. It's kinda funny, I don't have a (big) issue ... |

EG a teamleader asked me to take all the bilge pumps inside and when I did he had to explain that he meant all the bilge pumps that weren't in use . It happened quite often... |

You also said that people who don't mind PMs should put that in their signatures.
