Anyway, I was reading Men's Health magazine (you gotta read this magazine if you're as into male fitness as I am) and I came across a list titled "40 Unwritten Rules to Live By." A lot of the rules were dumb or boring or lame but I thought I'd share a few choice rules with you:
7. Pointedly praising something unusual a person owns or has done will make you appear far smarter in his eyes than a 10-minute discourse on world events.
15. Easy on the mayo!
16. Be careful about publicly discussing your hobbies, as most hobbies strike people as somewhat pathetic: most notably, collecting stamps, coins, or anything else, bird-watching, bowling, rockhounding, spelunking, table tennis, poetry, dog shows, chat rooms, polka music, yoga, herpetology, marathon running, and religion. The only hobbies you can safely own up to when among people you need to impress are fly-fishing and golf.
18. Never wear clothing that your coworkers avoid—the bow tie, the suspenders, the green suit. While you might think you're expressing your individuality, your colleagues will perceive it as a rejection of their group culture; you'll become a person who probably can't be trusted.
19. Do not bring lunch to work.
40. The person who sincerely says to you, "I want to get to know you better," is a person you don't want to know at all.
Did anyone notice I discovered the italic option this post?
