    What would you do?

    If somebody you know wants to make you look stupid. What will you do?
    If somebody you dont know wants to make you look stupid. What will you do?


    Should you let them know, that you know what they are doing! Or should you say nothing and keep smiling in thier face.

    Since you know...NEVER keep smiling and say nothing!

    You have the "power." to confront..or reverse the humiliation!

    I guess it depends on what they were doing. I might ignore it or have a snappy comeback. Or... you know, the LOOK.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    I usually just give a deadpan look. Sometimes I laugh in their faces, depends on what they're doing.

    No one can make you look stupid without your participation.

    Put Ipecac in their drink right before they go on stage.... Naaahhh! Just kidding. Kill them with kindness. Even though watching a girl projectile vomit all over herself on stage is too funny.

    ^^^ Yekhefah got it once again. Best Advice.

    Also what does it matter what others are doing lei? Why concern yourself with it? You give other people too much credit over your life.

    The first way of avoiding a trap is knowing of its existance. You then either avoid the situation, difuse the situation, or turn the situation around so that the trap catches them instead.

    To decide what metod to use, one must consider the outcome they desire, resources at hand and their willingness to take action.

    Personally if you can avoid the situation without substantial cost, do so. If the cost that action is too high you must decide the cost you would rather pay. In the end it is how you feel about yourself, that matters.

    I once had a person try to remove me from my position... he failed on multiple grounds:

    1 He completly understimated my determination to keep my job.
    2 Even though he took over some of my roles when I was away he never took over the full job. I ensured I was only away on days that were going to be light. Sometimes this meant working 4 to 5 extra hours in the days leading up to my day off. He did not realize our boss knew this, and that it was very important to him as well. My role was important enough that I often came in sick, and one time half blind from pink eye. If I was not there on a heavy day, shit would hit the fan, and big shots from both companies would be raising hell. So if I was out on a light day, my boss did not mind and was aware of this fact.
    3 He never once realized I am the duck paddling on the pond. I look placid, but my feet (on in this case brain)are moving at 100 mph... Multitasking was the only way to get my job done. He had no chance, as the best way to defeat him was to take all his requests and just add them to what I already did. I already did it in one form or another anyway. I still left on time, on light days.

    -I'm sure that I could go on and on, but there really is no need.

    The only fallout was that 1 he was fought constantly on every minor detail. If they got it wrong, I skined them. Previously I let them off lightly. 2 After about 2 months he quit and I ended up doing both our jobs. It was hard, but the overtime was great.

    Also, Yek is quite right, that's why I say avoid it if you can.
