Are you the approachable type?

Example, like you happen to be on the line of something. And some passer by ask you a question. Yes, like you start thinking that of all the people, why is it that it's you who's being asked. LOL.
And I get that all the time. How about you... do you also have experience on this one?

Most of the time I don't mind. I can stay on tract most o the time and just point the way to someone else to help them. At home I will just ask them to wait until I get to a stopping place. In the bathroom is a different matter, once in there, unless hte house is burning or blood is running who ever needs me can just wait.
Everyone has to set some limits.

No, I don't think I look approachable. Many people are have said that their initial impression on me was snob. They thought I was snob and would not talk to anyone just like that. Well as they knew me they said they were wrong. Well, I would prefer to be the approachable so now I am trying to smile more.

I am often mistaken as a snob, too. Ahaha. Ahh.. the pleasures of the first impressions.

Maybe it's how we tend to look kind and nice. There are people who look intimidating but turn out to be the nicest people around.
When a stranger approaches me, just as long as he or she doesn't look suspicious, I help out to the best that I can (to some extent).
I don't know if people see me as approachable but I have also heard negative first-impression comments.

Well, it seldom happen to me but I will be happy to answer them whenever asked to. But when at work, I am not that approachable. They find me strict and snobby at times. Maybe beacuse I do not want to be disturb on anything not on my job description that is why I am not entertaining those nonsense questions.

True. It will always feel good whenever we could be of help to others. =)

I would never have thought of myself as the approachable type but it happens all the time. I will be in a supermarket and these old people will come up and just start talking to me and I don't know why. I just don't get it.

No I'm really not the approachable type. When people look at me they think I look like a mean person and I'm really not. I'm a quiet person and if someone does approach me well I just answer what ever they're asking me.

Very rare but yes it happens to me .But whenever anybody ask me some question I normally like to give them reply if I know that otherwise just say sorry. But when I am in hurry and want to reach somewhere urgently and then somebody approah me then I try to avoid them or just say sorry and goes from there.

Yeah, I have and always experienced being asked by a stranger, I don't know what brings others to us such questions but i always think its just a coincidence.

People always had a negative impression on me. They tend to get intimidated when they try to approach me. I am actually a silent person but I am not a mean one. Anyone could approach me anytime.
