I have only limited experience in dealing with people in the entertainment industry in L.A., but based on that limited experience, the biggest turn-offs for me are narcissistic self-involvement, insincerity in praising others' work and shameless brown-nosing to those might be able to help your career. Yuck.

Someone should have had the courtesy to tell you the 'trend' died over 40 years ago. Short and spiky, that's where its at now.

rickshaw1,
you are talking about me, aren't you? and you mean that I am always wrong when you said "the wrong way", right?
Sorry, I couldn't resist the above response.
as for my turn-offs: arrogant people is number one.
And speaking of wait staff. I have to say, I've never waited, but I have worked as a bank teller. And since then, I have all the patience in the world when I see a service worker when it is busy but he/she is working. Likewise, I do a slow boil if I am kept waiting for even a few seconds if the service person is just goofing off. If you are just talking about last night's date and I come to your open register, you need to stop talking and wait on me. If you are talking business, you need to at least say "I'll be right with you"

I finally felt good when I beat that egomanical guy at the Heroclix tournament - the biggest upset of them all...everybody was very happy because he has been hassling everyone saying that he was going to be "the undefeated champion ever". He even refused to shake my hand...so alas poor sportsmanship. I lost many games more than winning..let's say my record is 10-100, at best. Everybody has been rooting for me to win...that felt good. Let's hope that I will be able to keep it going.

Way to go superboymddjr! I just hate those jerks at tournaments. We get them at the two locations here that old the HeroClix games and they just ruin it for everyone else. Their the same kind of people who think playing a team of Fire Lords is imaginative. My record is probably about the same as yours and I've all but given up going to the tourneys here because of the pricks. Just not worth the hassle.
