I'm not a master in reading people. Still after 2 or 3 meetings, I can make out to a certain extent the personality or the level of intelligence of the person.
But something which I can never ever understand are guys who try to flirt for timepass. I mean..I find so funny that even after so many quizzical looks , or even curses muttered under the girl's breath..they don't find it humiliating at all.
And the worst thing is that you have to meet such people day in and day out in the office.
The other day I met this guy in the elevator. He said " Hi , whats your name" . When I answered him, he just said " ok" and looked the other side. I kept looking at him , waiting for him to continue. But he just kept looking everywhere except at me. I felt that this was so ridiculous , and I asked him why did he ask my name. He replied " Just like that". Interesting hobby , isn't it. I was just stumped and he walked out of the elevator.
There is another guy who gives a wide grin whenever he sees me. I had tried showing lots of weird looking expressions, ranging from anger to disgust at him. But he refuses to be discouraged. May be I end up looking like smiling to him. God knows. Or I'm just a poor actor.
But one thing I can never comprehend is the absolute lack of shame in these people. Given a chance I would definitely like to know how they feel when I stare back angrily ...
