Brown-nosing: C/D?

Is this one of those traits like tidying my bedroom that I thought was repulsive when I was 15 but now I'm 23 I have to realise that it's the only way I'm ever going to live in reasonable conditions?

I really love your threads, Dom. I always have.

Brown-nosing your landlord and/or real estate agent's a bit much, Dom.

I can't hate you for stealing my joke, Scott, because everything about you sparkles of brilliance.

I just bought a mattress pad yesterday. It's like I died and actually got a good night's sleep.

Maybe you're actually dead, though.

The pizza looks fairly intact. The other photos do seem to indicate death.

omg I threw out my mattress pad just last weekend which proves the theory that mattress pads are a zero sum game.

I always thought brown-nosing was one of those things that only other people do.

― Hurting (Hurting), Thursday, 28 April 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

I think I'm a sloppy seconds brown-noser - I won't initiate the plumb-bobbing, but I'll supervise and assist, and maybe come in for long relief, if need be. I can't be sincerely obsequious on my own w/out rolling my eyes and smirking, tho. Or saying something like, "Yeah, but you're a real dick, too!" So much for dreams of being a CEO!

I dislike brownnosers. Like I said - if you admire or respect someone, just be yourself and never try and show that. Otherwise you seem a bit pathetic, you know? No one digs a fan boy, but everyone likes a laid pack, nice guy or girl.

If you admire or respect someone and then have to try and not show it, it's not really being yourself is it?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 28 April 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

I do this all the time! But not really by forcing it or anything, I just seem to really respect and admire loads of people. Or possibly I am lucky, and encounter people worthy of respect and admiration unusually often?

i thought brown-nosing was something like picking your nose...

― nathalie in a bar under the sea (stevie nixed), Friday, 29 April 2005 06:16 (twenty years ago)

Look you simply have to brown-nose the right people, according to YOU, it's as simple as that. Why wouldn't you want to in the first place?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 29 April 2005 06:19 (twenty years ago)

Well, "brown-nosing" *could* include picking someone *else's* nose for them....

(God, why did I just post that?) (Oh well.)

― Goodbye Indian Summer (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 29 April 2005 06:29 (twenty years ago)

Um, maybe if you picked the other person's nose with your ass???

MY GOD THE VISUALS
