Glutton for Punishment Test
My results:
Your score = 15
You are definitely not a glutton for punishment. In fact, you inflict punishment for behavior that you clearly deem unacceptable. While it is great that you do not allow anyone to manipulate you, perhaps you may be a little premature in your explosive reactions. Wasting your energy on volatile revenge for someone who barely respects you is senseless. It is commendable that you refuse to tolerate anyone attempting to take advantage of you; being strong in character is admirable. However, it is an entirely other issue to long for vengeance. The whole idea is not to waste your time with the type of people who will walk all over you…but the truth is -you are indeed wasting time by plotting how to walk all over them!
My excuse: Ummm... I'm a Scorpio? he he...
Well, fools shouldn't be allowed to get away with things. I remember one time at work someone asked for assitance with doing a task while they were sent to do another. In my mind I'm thinking, "Why don't you do it yourself?" so I told them I'd do it but in my mind I said, "After I'm done with my stuff".
It turns out, when I was finished doing her task, she signed out! I felt like I shoulda killed her! How dare she! Plus, she seems wimpy like she is so helpless she can't do anything herself. Well, next time she asks me to do something, I'll tell her "no, I'm too busy". Naturally, the work we do keeps us extremely busy anyways, there is little time for other stuff.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who experienced this. I was going to help her b/c she was new!
