True  Glad I show up to work in trainers, jeans and a tshirt Speaking of work.... just had an 'interesting' discussion with a dev who seems to think files I have edited can make a difference when I check files in even if it's not included or anything I even work on.....which obviously makes me responsible for breaking the build  _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Some of you may think I fit in well with this statistic, but I wear a suit to work. I don't do it because I think I'm superior, it's just that most of the people I work alongside wear suits, so I don't want to look like the scruffy bugger I am! Peter. _________________A Mac user

Also, some people prefer to wear a suit simply so they don't have to try and figure out what to wear every morning   _________________The Official "Saucy Minx" This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.

I actually have three jobs at the moment, so I do wear a suit for two of them. Trust me, I do not laze around at home in my best suit! Peter. _________________A Mac user

Well, it's not as crazy as it sounds: I have a full time job, have a separate weekend job and then work from home during the evenings. Peter. _________________A Mac user

Oh, I'm not knocking your work ethic - we all have to do what we have to do.

The weakness of the pound is working to my advantage, however, since I actually get paid for my full-time job in Euros Peter. _________________A Mac user

As long as you don't act as such, make time for other people, hold doors open, make small talk, etc, then I think you're OK  But what suit do you wear!? Seriously, last time I went suit shopping I went to four different shops and tried on around twenty different suits, non of which I was particularly happy with, all within the £0-£150 barrier! When I work in the summer, I'll have to wear a suit  But I'll stand out by wearing a bow tie, I'm the geek in the corner

I definitely don't act superior! I'm the first to encourage my team to have a few hours on the games consoles. People wonder why we struggle meeting deadlines Peter. _________________A Mac user

What, Why?! Assuming you mean awkward pointless drivel, then I f*ckin hate small talk  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

Small talk is boring and awkward.
I would usually prefer silence to small talk.
