Would You??

[Jean-Baptiste]

I would assume that I was favored with nonpromotion and maintaining my current level of responsibility. I would ignore the idea of promotion being a statement or estimate of value.

Would you reject a "promotion" that meant you were to be placed in a hazardous situation at considerably increased pay?

[RobinHood3000]

Probably; if I wanted to risk my life for large sums of money, I'd have become a daredevil.

Same question -- it's an intriguing one.

[Hyacinth Girl]

Risking my life isn't exactly my style, and if I died before enjoying the extra money, what would have been the point?

If you knew your actions were going to disappoint someone you loved/admired/respected, would you try to cover it up, gambling that it might never be found out, and live with the fear of discovery, or would you come clean and get the shame over right away?

[Jean-Baptiste]

Get it over right away. I have made a very scientific study of this sort of situation, first covering up, which was a a very disappointing way to live, then coming clean before right away. I say get it all out in the open and build whatever sort of relationship you're going for on solid ground.

Would you buy a product that you don't necessarily want, just because the commercial for it was exceptionally clever or funny? I know this is basically a question of suseptibility to marketing, but let's pretend there's more to it than that.

[Virgil]

No, and no one does. The point of comercials being funny or clever is so that when you need their product you will remember their company.

OK, same Q

[Hyacinth Girl]

No, but I am definitely going to buy the product with the witty ads versus the alternative if it's something I want/need. (I'm thinking the iDon't ads as a case in point)

Along similar lines: would you give money to a homeless person/panhandler who has a funny sign rather than the usual "will work for food", "stranded and hungry" , "god bless, anything helps", "homeless vet" variety?

[Pendragon]

I'll give to a panhandler depending on the person's demeanor, regardless of their sign. If they are truly in need and appreciate what ever I hand them (I'll start with a one dollar bill), then they may be surprised to find that I'll give them more. But if their reaction to that one dollar bill is basically "Wow! That's really reaching deep, big spender!" I figure that's all they need. They are out to get what they can get.

Next person's analysis.

[Madhuri]

I would not, if I see that the person has fine legs, hands, and air in his/her lungs and appears perfectly healthy. I would like to believe that the person wants everything for free (here we dont have people carrying such signs), and is looking for an easy way out. But if that is not the case, and they apparently look needy, then I would ( I can only go by their looks, as I would not have anyother way to determine if they are in need or not).

I have seen that people stand with their injured kids (either bleeding or having anyother ailment) and ask for money, which they never spend on the kids treatment, as if after a few weeks you pass again from that area, they are still standing with the injured babies, eventhough they can get free treatment from hospitals, they just take it as a means of earning living.

In a supermarket have you ever been tempted to slip a small little thing into your bag??

When I was about thirteen I did (a candybar) and forever feel ashamed of it. I would never do that again.

same Q

[TEND]

I actually did that, than I felt bad and as my mom was paying I slipped it back onto the shelf, I think I must have been 8 or 9.

Same Q.

[mono]

In a supermarket have you ever been tempted to slip a small little thing into your bag??

In my less financially-stable days, yes, but I never did, not only fearing the potential consequences, but it merely felt wrong, too.

To the person below me: what would you consider your best feature and worst feature (whether physical or psychological)?

[Jean-Baptiste]

I'm told that I'm critical, but I remain undecided as to whether that's a point for, or against me. So perhaps that's my best and worst feature. I do make a great effort to avoid being picky.

same question.

[AimusSage]

Physical: I don't have a worst feature, I'm the best all around
Psychological: I'm somewhat narcissistic.

Ok, now for the somewhat more serious answer: I think my worst physical feature is my jaw, and my best feature are my eyes. But I don't really attach much value to all of that, I'm happy with my jawline as I am with my eyes. It's a silly thing to be concerned about appearance.
Psychologically, my worst feature is that I can be very cocky sometimes, being somewhat demeaning to other people. I can even annoy myself with it. But it helps being aware of it, so I can prevent it. My best feature would be my awareness of what other people feel and think, I'm a pretty decent mind reader, so to speak.

Okay, Same Question, I think it's a funny question.
what would you consider your best feature and worst feature (whether physical or psychological)?

[Pendragon]

I'm told that I have a soothing voice, and that I always seem to know what to say. News to me, since I don't see it that way, at least the second part! I have a good sense of humor, usually.

That's all folks!
Next person, please.

[mono]

Physical: not to sound narcissistic, but others have told me I have beautiful eyes; in terms of worst - probably my kneecaps. As random as it sounds, due to my slender figure, they appear to protrude.
Psychological: my best feature (from others' reports, though I beg to differ) - the not-the-best and not-the-worst ability to think analytically and holistically. My worst - scattered moodswings.

To the person below me: if you could take a photograph of one person/place/thing before permanently separating from it, what would you photograph?
