Programmers Appearance (Poll)

[BodwadUK]

We had a dumb blonde come in the office the other day and she said to my fellow programmer.

"You cant be a programmer, I thought all programmers have beards and wear sandles"

So I am starting an investigation here on VBForums.

And before anyone asks, Yes I would have offered to aid in her attempt to have babies if she had asked me

[kfcSmitty]

I'm clean shaven and I hate wearing sandals.

I do, however, wear glasses and am single. <--- That is the other definition of a programmer

[namrekka]

And you said: "I thought all dumb blonds use tipp-ex ....."

I think you've been hanging around NoteMe too much, it is spelled like so: sandal

I wear sandles.. but only at home in the yard, or at the beach.
not to work.. not allowed.

no beard.. but some times I go for a few days without shaving

That would mean another generation of stupid blondes

[damasterjo]

i would were sandles if i had them... I weed-eat the yard bare-foot, does that count?

[zuperman]

I wear sandles, few days without shaving... I am the ultimate Geek...

[techgnome]

Sandals - yes... except between the months of Nov - March when it gets cold and snows. But then I also get to wear t-shirts and shorts when ever too - we have no real dress code here other that basic decency applies (IE no birthday suits or thongs on the guys.)
Beard - from time to time.... sometimes I go months w/o shaving and sport the beard... sometimes I go clean shaven.

Tell your "programming friend" that he is an idiot. That was her sayin she would bone him...

[wossname]

wossname in a nutshell:

1. turns up to work in jeans and a t-shirt.
2. does bit shifting in his head.
3. knows far too much trivia about Futurama to be healthy.
4. knows far too much trivia about HHGG to be healthy.
5. had a 2 hour discussion at work today about the relative merits of binary serialization versus XML.
6. scarcely spends more than 2 minutes between getting out of bed and starting first spoonful of cornflakes.
7. not interested in nighclubs at all.
10. makes lists in octal.

I hear that. Amen.

[Shaggy Hiker]

You should also ask how many are shaving. Ocean doesn't have a beard, but she doesn't have a beard for the same reason I have one: Neither one of us shaves.

I'm bearded, but the dress code prevents sandals. I'd also hurt myself if I wore them, so they are right out.

[eSPiYa]

How bout wearing SADDLE, do anyone wear a SADDLE here?

[damasterjo]

wossname you look like a guy i know named vincent, are you him?

[eSPiYa]

Why? Who is this Vincent?

[Merri]

I occasionally wear sandals, but I can't grow a beard. I'm a hobbit. I shave, because otherwise I'd look like those teens who do tuning to their cars and desperately try to grow a moustache. And it isn't much of a pain to shave once or twice a week. I don't even wear glasses because my eyesight/vision is probably better than anyone else's on this forum.

I'd take you up on that eyesight challenge, though I'm getting older.

[Merri]

How to test? Make a black pixel on white background and then go guessing when can see/can't see it?



(Btw, if we go any further in this, we know we're geeks.)

[wossname]

wossname you look like a guy i know named vincent, are you him?

No I am not Vincent. But he is lucky if he looks like me. I'm gorgeous.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Better yet, I have a partially color blind boss, and a totally color blind employee. I make very colorful forms with many colorful buttons, and gleefully chuckle as they discuss which buttons are the same, and which are different.

Ocean does shave she just wont show me where!!!









She is very sensitive about her legs and armpits

You just have to ask nice.

[illebille]

I wear sandals with high heels ; does that count ?

[BodwadUK]

Yes they do but I am now scared of you because the only reason a women would wear such hideous Sandals would be as an effective weapon against men like me

[illebille]

they sure are effective as a weapon ; already killed 3 colleagues today
