Giver me....I give all the time and never take back...I'd give someone I know my last £1 if they asked for it.

Maybe thats why Im used as a doormat and have the words "WELCOME" printed on my back...hey,hang on a minute...maybe I should start being really b****y and then maybe I'll get rid of the footprints off my back... no.gif I can't do it... sad.gif

Bit of both, depends on the situation.

It makes my heart feel so much better to be a giver... I will always be this way...

lol...I did...but even that was in an intellectual way huh.gif I was reminded of a scene in one of Asimov's books, where the main character...um...let's just say he was given a happy tongue.gif The circumstances being that the main female character (although she wasn't really a main character...more like the lead supporting character...but anyway, I digress), wanted to finally "give", because she'd spent her whole life just taking.

Methinks, sometimes, that I think too deeply huh.gif

Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway...back to day time, family broadcasting tongue.gif I'm not really able to answer without a bit more elaboration on what kind of situation you're talking about huh.gif For the most part though, I think I meet people in the middle...although I am quickly turning into he doormatt in work.

To date, I have never turned down someone who asked if I could swap shifts with them, or work their shift on top of my own tongue.gif I've also never asked anyone to take my shifts (I feel that would be inconveniencing them)...I'm gearing up for the point when I'll finally say "no, piss off."

Hey now, that's not fair tongue.gif I'm a very nice person...I'm just bitingly sarcastic tongue.gif

Ah...Dot has learned. I shall not answer this quiz. I almost gave away vital information in the last poll. But oh no, not again ph34r.gif

I think I am a bit of both, although people have always said that I am a giver. Which is probably why I have a tendency to let people walk all over me, and crap like that. I really need to get a backbone darnit.

And don't worry about the brain suckers Dot, they don't work here. I know because I am one of them...I mean....oh crap! whistling2.gif

Well, I would never walk over you... in fact, I'd probably toss myself onto a puddle so you wouldn't get your feet icky.

You're a sweet woman, and those of us here that actually have some brains, and humanity wouldn't want you to be any other way. grin2.gif

Being a man, I'm capable of having a dirty thought just looking at the wall... but I didn't when I read the subject title... at least not until you said something. tongue.gif

BTW, I'm very much a giver- but I not to the point where I don't get anything back now and then- I just like to treat women in my life nice. original.gif
Neo2005

Do not be swayed by this alien poll! They are doing it! They are studying you all! Fools!

The space lobsters wil eat you! Just participating in this poll makes you a giver for you are giving vital information!!

absinthegreen329
Which ones am I to watch out for Moe? The ones who go Bloop, or Blo-op?

My sister is a taker...all she does is take. I don't think she has ever had to work for anything in her entire life. But then again, she is tall, blonde, and has very blue eyes...lucky her.

If I sound a tad bitter, I am. (Not because of her appearance, but because things come so easily to her.)
The Cheat

i like being nice to people. and i hate taking anything i didnt earn
FLY SPITTA
I can't lie sometimes I give, but sometimes I take. So I suppose a little bit of both. That's what I voted for.

cool.gif im a giver ,i give and i never get any thing back crying.gif
Wonder Woman
Mostly I give to others, but if they are offering, I will take. It's always good to get something back now and then. I'm the type of person who will give more when I am offered more by others. If others don't give to me, I generally will stop giving to them quite quickly.
