From: The autist formerly known as on 2 Jan 2006 19:20 Like all tests it is simplistic and makes assumptions, it may have its value in certain situations but with ever shifting norms that has to be accounted for somewhere, whatever I do not think it is for sophisticates liek us, or phistsophicates either for that matter :) -- ?T L'autisme c'est moi "Space folds, and folded space bends, and bent folded space contracts and expands unevenly in every way unconcievable except to someone who does not believe in the laws of mathematics" "Terry Jones" <terryjones(a)beeb.net> wrote in message news:ikejr1hmi8l10d79ebglvf09gf0hv865rv(a)4ax.com... > On Mon, 2 Jan 2006 14:19:58 +0000, Bubbleghost <BG(a)ex.directory.ok> > wrote: > > >Yo, I got a 7 = normal! > > I haven't done the test, but unless it uses forced timing, it wouldn't > be very realistic - It's the same reason why many of us prefer > newsgroups and email, where you can take your own time to analyse the > message and prepare your own response - I suspect that we're > considerably more socially aware in retrospect than in real time. > > Terry >

The only one I first came up with a shocking NO > was curling up asleep behind a chair in someone else's house. That's a bit how I did it but I also tried to remember all the rules I remembered. I also go by what others have tended to do. Others did in fact go through a stack of my magic cards once when I had left the room and I had not given permission. This is like stealing. Looking for a name on an envelop in a droor happens in detective movies all the time and they don't get caught. It is something I think some people might do in an embarassing situation of not knowing someone's name. I do suppose using a generic "Madam" is an easy out from really needing to snoop but perhaps the name was needed for other reasons?

Therefore it's rude to turn up and get out your own food. I guess eating in front of people a snack might be considered a little rude and that it might be better to eat out of sight just before dinner (that way one isn't "pigging out" at dinner). There are also "right amounts" to eat no matter how hungry one is. ie: dollops of all the butter or too much gravy etc may get someone mean looks. This happened to me when I first lived outside my home. > The guy wanting to borrow the comb had been out of work for some time, > right?

Yah, but I didn't think a woman would get upset just to "check" visually. If someone craned their head and started playing with the diaper looking for a pin, it would be a bit much and the woman would probably have him arrested. I should have put C or D for that one perhaps. > Not too sure about asking to have someone else's food on the airplane > either. My impression was that the food was untouched. Wasting is more criminal to me when there are hungry people in other parts of the world. If the food were half eaten, that would be a little disgusting. (ie: what people refer to as "goobers" on the food or small minute amounts of saliva (meant only to be shared amongst lovers)) > -- > Bubbleghost
