I have been chatting to a few friends and they have noticed that what ever one of my friends gets or do, the other friend sees and hear of the ideas and then she will try to get the same things or try to get the same things as her.My friend seems not to care, but the thing is, why dont the people that copy get off their bottoms and get information for themselves rather than waiting for a friend to get the things first.

I know a guy who has copied alot of what other friends and relatives do. He does it to get attention. He started smoking because friends did! He drank and got drunk because he saw other people do it! This guy can't think for himself so he copies people! He also has no life and lives at home! Now that is terrible and he never listens when he has given advice,either! He is hopeless! Very hopeless!

I think the same that some people do it just to get attention,or some kind of a reaction.I feel sorry for people that have to wait for other people to do things and then do the same as them.I also feel sorry for the person that they are also trying to copy all the time.

I have copied other work but then I have always believed that if something works use it. Coping is also the highest form of flattery.

happens all the time at work
if it's a good idea, they get the credit.
if it's a bad one, I get the blame
that's why I started my own shop.
if I ever get employed again, I will keep ideas to myself
I usually just go with part time or temp, so not much time to talk with co worker
sometimes ideas are just fluid, anyone can end up with same idea unintentionally
sometimes it's a personality, means they are dishonest
if they copy cat you and call it their ideas, then they can lie and call it truth
if you get my drift. I've met this kind of people and I avoid them since I don't like being surrounded by liars, cheaters etc
