Why do people LIKE you?

Because I'm a hard worker, honest, and am willing to go the extra mile for a friend or coworker. I'm always joking around and try to keep people around me happy.

I'm friendly, loyal, prompt, kind, have an excellent work ethic, always have a smile on my face and I go out of my way to help people.
Karma is my friend.

[FACETIOUSNESS] OK, you two can just stay away from me now. I am already too busy to help you with.... [fill in with your new project]... and yes I am well aware of the old mantra that says if you want to get something done, you go to someone who is busy. Everyone else already figured that one out long before you slid up to my desk with your perpetual smile. You are just a tad too late. Sorry, but I know why you're always walking around the office with a smile on your face and it has nothing with actually doing the work. [/FACETIOUSNESS]

Because I do their work for them.
THIS.
 
I don't know that people like me. They could just be tolerating me because they need something out of me and I'm the expedient choice. And then when I've outlived my usefulness, off to the Soylent Green factory.
 
I'm genuine. I have a great sense of humor (especially if you get my dry sense of humor and deadpan delivery). I'm fairly well-read and I have a lot of interests so I can carry on a conversation about quite a few different subjects. Finally, my wife likes me because I have a nice @$$.
