Vejam que curioso (em inglês):

Don't be “that guy”

If you’ve attended more than three or four model contests, you’ve run into “that guy.” He’s at every contest, local, regional, and national. He’s in the United States and has peers in Europe and Asia. He’s international. Here he is in his five incarnations.

1. The guy with body odor. I swear, every contest I go to there’s one guy who smells really bad. It's like he hasn't showered for a week, or he's just finished installing a new roof on his house and came directly to the contest. Either way, he’s gross and offensive. Take a shower. Use some Axe, liberally. Don’t be that guy.

2. The know-it-all. Several years ago I was talking with friends in the contest room and was introduced to a man who I knew as a respected expert in his field. As my friends continued chatting, the guy pulled me aside, pointed to a model on a nearby table, and started critiquing it. Keep in mind, I’d never met this man before and here he was showing off how much he knew. I'm sure he was correct in his analysis, but it was not the right time. What if it had been my model? At least he was a real-life know-it-all, but still. The other kind of know-it-all is the one who walks around dispensing his knowledge with random quips, stories, and anecdotes. He’s more likely to speak at you rather than with you. Don’t be that guy.

3. The loud talker. Everyone knows the loud talker. He's not unique to scale modeling. You can hear him from across the convention hall. Often he's on his cell phone. A 2011 study found that 72 percent of the time he’s a know-it-all as well, which makes him doubly toxic. Please, use your inside voice. Don’t be that guy.

4. The cheapskate. This one comes from a friend who occasionally works as a vendor at contests. No matter how low he prices the kits on his table there's always someone who asks for a bigger discount. Look, we all seek out a good price, but if you find a $45 kit priced at $20, jump on the bargain and be happy. The vendors need to make a few dollars, too. Don’t be that guy.

5. The complainer. This guy finds his groove as soon as the date of the convention is announced. He's immediately on the forums berating the organizers for having it too late in the summer. Or he doesn't like the location. Or the venue. Or the expense. Or the parking lot. Or the food. Or the lighting in the contest room. You get the idea. Putting on a convention is hard work. I can assure you the organizers have done everything they can with the resources they have to make the show a great experience for you. Give them some slack and try to sympathize a little. Don't be that guy.

Enjoy the show!

Aqui em BH tem um cara que simplesmente a-d-o-r-a mostrar o último kit que ele fez e contar todos os detalhes do kit, da montagem, das tintas, da dificuldade, e por fim dizer que foi o melhor kit (ou mais trabalhoso) que ele ja montou. Mas, ele não espera a oportunidade, ele te pega no laço: "vem cá pra eu lhe mostrar".

Ele vem chegando e o pessoal vai saindo de fininho...

Tem desse tipo por aí também?

Hum, quem será?

Não entendi pooorrraaaa nenhuma ! E se responder em italiano ?!

Veja, existe um programa que roda na internet chamado "Google Translate" (http://translate.google.com.br/), ele é muito útil para esses casos:

Veja uma tradução (macarrônica e com adaptações) com o Google Translate:

"Não ser "o cara"

Se você já participou de mais de três ou quatro concursos de modelo, você deve ter topado com "aquele cara." Ele está em cada concurso, local, regional e nacional. Ele está nos Estados Unidos e tem seus pares na Europa e na Ásia. Ele é internacional. Aqui está ele em suas cinco encarnações.

1. O cara com o odor corporal. Juro, cada concurso que eu vá para lá de um cara que cheira muito mal. É como se ele não tomasse banho por uma semana, ou ele acabou de instalar um novo telhado em sua casa e veio diretamente para o concurso. De qualquer maneira, ele é nojento e ofensivo. Tome um banho. Use algum Axe (desodorante), liberalmente. Não seja esse cara.

2. O sabe-tudo. Vários anos atrás eu estava conversando com amigos na sala do concurso e fui apresentado a um homem que eu sabia como um respeitado especialista em seu campo. Enquanto meus amigos continuaram conversando, o cara me puxou de lado, apontou para um modelo em uma mesa próxima, e começou a critica-lo. Tenha em mente que eu nunca conheci esse homem antes, e aqui ele estava mostrando o quanto ele sabia. Tenho certeza de que ele estava correto em sua análise, mas não era o momento certo. que se tivesse sido meu modelo? Pelo menos ele era realmente um sabe-tudo, mas ainda assim. O outro tipo de sabe-tudo é o único que anda dispensando seu conhecimento com gracejos aleatórios, histórias e anedotas. Ele é mais provável para falar para você e não com você. Não seja esse cara.

3. O alto-falante. Todo mundo conhece o alto-falante. Ele não é exclusivo para modelagem escala. Você pode ouvi-lo do outro lado do salão de convenções. Muitas vezes ele está em seu telefone celular. Um estudo de 2011 descobriu que 72 por cento do tempo que ele é um sabe-tudo também, o que o torna duplamente tóxico. Por favor, use a sua voz interior. Não seja esse cara.

4. O pão-duro. Esta vem de um amigo que trabalha ocasionalmente como um vendedor em concursos. Não importa quão baixo ele coloque os preços dos kits em sua mesa, há sempre alguém que pede um desconto maior. Olha, todos nós buscamos um bom preço, mas se você encontrar um kit de 45 dólares ao preço de R $ 20, feche o negócio e seja feliz. Os vendedores precisam fazer alguns dólares também. Não seja esse cara.

5. O reclamante. Esse cara encontra seu ritmo assim como a data da convenção é anunciado. Ele entra imediatamente nos fóruns repreendendo os organizadores por fazê-lo tarde demais no verão. Ou ele não gosta do local. Ou das instalações. Ou da despesa. Ou do estacionamento. Ou da comida. Ou da iluminação na sala do concurso. Você entendeu a idéia. Fazer uma convenção é um trabalho árduo. Posso assegurar-lhe que os organizadores fizeram tudo o que pode ser feito com os recursos que tem, para fazer do show uma grande experiência para você. Dê-lhes um pouco de folga e tentar simpatizar um pouco. Não seja esse cara.

Aproveite o show!"
