[Gladiator X]

So, I was just reading bubba's thread and it got me to thinkin' about something similar that's happened to me in the last week.

Three differant people have told me I'm intimidating.

My old boss told me that my new boss is intimidated by me. She felt the same way when she took over my dept. a few years back too.

I brought this up to a co-worker and he was all "This is news to you? Dude half the people at work are scared of you".

This was kinda pissin' me off so I brought this up to some of my bros when I was out last night and they were all in agreement too. Except for my one pal but he just likes to beat people up so he doesn't count.
Apparently, most of my friends have thought this alll along.

WTF? I always thought people just liked me and respected my opinions and it turns out they're all just a bunch of pussies afraid I'm gonna go postal on them!

You guys all know me fairly well so I leave it up to you.

I am so annoyed by this I just wanna smash something! Happy fuckin' Friday!

Are you tall and quiet maybe? Sometimes people interpret that as standoffish or intimidating. Honestly I don't know how you conduct yourself IRL but on the boards you seem fine.

[Hermit_Sage]

you're asking us?

you like to go around and tell us you are a Norse God, and you what think we'd find you rather meekish?

Maybe if you had machinegun hands. Or rocket-fingers, or something equally as deadly. But aside from the long-hair deal, you look like a normal dude to me.

Dost thou speaketh in the ways of the gods of norse whenst thou doest converseth in life most real? If so, then verily, thy erratic speech patterns mayeth invoketh fears most irrational in the hearts of thine companions.

Mayhap?

But then again, I wouldn't expect the Lord of Bitch-Stabbin' to be scared of shit.

well did you let on to them that you were really a norse god, that could explain 99% of why they find you intimidating.

I didst think they thought it was funny, not scary.

No. Most people in real life I tell I'm a werewolf and that's why I have to call in to work the three days of the full moon every month.

Hammer envy, clearly.

oh really? then I see no reason why people would be intimidated by you.

Perhaps tis time the Son of Odin didst start wearing looser pants.
