Are you uncomfortable discussing what your salary is? Do you think its rude to ask people what their salary is?

Nope.

Do you think its rude to ask people what their salary is?

Yup.

Its wierd I mean I would never cause, clearly its rude and none of your business but why is this such a touchy subject?? What really is the big secret as to whether your earning 50 or a 100??
 
To me, it's a personal thing. It would be like someone asking, "Hey gymtime, how's the herpes?" Anyone other than your accountant who asks you how much money you make is asking for one reason, to compare your salary to theirs. There's no reason for anyone to know that and if they ask, they're just sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong.

AMEN TO THAT!
 
It's only rude if the person you ask is making a little or a lot... it is kind of none of your business to ask... well, not none of YOUR ... I ment YOUR as in the person asking... oh well, I'm on crack today... :)

You wouldn't know sarcasm if it fell out of the sky, landed on your face, and started to wiggle!!

So... I was wondering... how much money do you make a year??? :D :D

With the pic's I've seen of your double wide, it doesn't look like you're doing too bad. :)

Maybe and yes.

I'm uncomfortable depending on who the person is. Family/friends I don't mind. Complete strangers or people at work I really do mind. Fortunately, no one at work has asked me about that, because I'm sure they'd be very pissed to know that I make more than all of them... bwahaha.

Is it rude? If it's none of your business, it sure is rude.

It's the pride of the trailer park my friend. I was thinking of putting a sofa out front, but I don't want to come off like a showoff to the neighbor folk.

Simple: We live in a culture where status is ultimately dictated by your monetary value. So it's kind of like asking some dude if he wants to compare penises with you (without the gay undertones).
 
in high school it was where you are going to college and what your parents do for a living. in college it was, what is your major. after that, it's where you live, what you do, and how much you make. see a pattern.

That's what everyone thinks. :rolleyes:

gymtime - Fuck 'em. If they really wanted, they could save up the $2 for a couch like yours, just like you did when you were working as an outhouse cleaner. You worked hard for that couch... be proud!

I hate discussing salary, I'll never tell any of my friends what I make again. I don't make an outrageous amount of money, but I make alot more than most of my friends. It was such a disadvantage when all my friends knew what I made coming out of college. I could never say "I can't afford it" without them talking shit, and if the bill at the restaurant for a big group came up short, they all looked to me.

I don't know if it's rude to ask, but I think it's smart not to tell.
 
just lie like everyone else does:D

oh yea, did I mention that yesterday I benched 550...but only for 8 reps so I'm not bragging
 
Immediate family only
Mom, Dad, Wife/Husband, Sister, Brother.....that's it IMO

No inlaws, friends no matter how close or especially co-workers
 
This is so funny. Picture this conversation:

"I cheated on my wife, and that's what caused us to get a divorce. I was banging the babysitter."

"Well, my kid just failed 5th grade, he's going to have to repeat it".

"It hasn't been a problem since I got out of rehab".

"How much do I make? You;re so rude. it;s none of your business. it;s in poor taste".
