How Do You Respond To Being Copied?

[vulcan42]

Do you see it as a compliment or does it annoy you? I found it funny this morning, I used my leaf blower to clear the snow from my paths. Although I'd never seen it done before after about twenty minutes three other neighbours were doing the same.

[naomi24]

No, it doesn't annoy me at all.  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, vulcan.  ;o)

Would you Adam and Eve it?  I had to go and de-ice my van this morning.  Before I could blink there were several of my neighbours heading out to work de-icing their cars. Defnitely no coincidence

If it's not done mockingly then I'd say it's the sincerest form of flattery.

I'm just surprised thay so many neighbours have leaf blowers!

[vulcan42]

naomi, your answer reminded me of a previous neighbour who loved to use large words to impress but invariably used the wrong one. He once said to me "Imitation is the sincerest form of philately".

As a teen, I used to get annoyed when friends copied what I wore but Mum used to say "imitation is the highest form of flattery."  I tried to believe her!

[naomi24]

Haaaa!  He certainly put his stamp on that one, Vulcan.  :o))

[naomi24]

Moorea, I had a friend who did that and it annoyed me too at the time.

Vulcan the time to worry is when your neighbours start talking rubbish

[youngmafbog]

Vulcan will be ok so long as you dont move in next door then

[davebro3]

Unsurprisingly I don't think anyone has ever copied me!

[Canary42]

It's very good of your neighbours to clear the snow from your paths.

[Canary42]

I got used to being copied very early on in life - 5 minutes after I popped out into this world, my brother copied me 😀  😀  😀

maybe they don't like too much noise but once one person's doing it...

[Smowball]

I would say that the only reason anyone copies anything is because they think it's a good idea?
