Hey Pandas, What Was Your ‘Popular’ Moment?
i was named employee of the year which surprised me as i was just doing my job. a year later i became the office pariah because i called out the corrupt dealing of my superiors. the negative treatment towards me didn't really affect me because i was comfortable for calling out their behavior and tactics. it also really ticked off my superiors because the district attorney treated me with respect and called on my opinions over the next several years on issues regarding how the department could be improved. (i was an officer of the court for the district attorney.) so, yes - i was popular for a positive reason but it think it was my willingness to call out the bad behavior that made me "popular"...maybe not with the bosses but definitely with the office worker beesHey Pandas, What Was Your ‘Popular’ Moment?
In second grade, we were allowed to bring in our favorite stuffed animal for one day at the end of the school year. I brought in a giant stuffed ape and everyone LOVED it. I was popular for exactly one day and then the school year was over ;) (By the way, there is a poem by Shel Silverstein called "Gorilla" where a kid brings his pet gorilla into school and becomes very popular. I felt like I'd brought the poem to life!)Hey Pandas, What Was Your ‘Popular’ Moment?
Last day of term at school when not a lot of work gets done I took in my brother's brand new video of Home Alone for us to watch in class. The kids loved it I was so popular that day.Hey Pandas, What Was Your ‘Popular’ Moment?
I'm not popular, per se, but everyone knows me. I talk to many people, and it got out that I was gay, so people are homophobic, and ask me stupid questions. And it gets embarrassing, so I have a small group of friends, and now there is drama with them, and I end up fixing it, so I'm 'popular" again.

I discovered that humility and listening to people instead of being an arrogant smartass works wonders. I ended up representing a local political party at a rally and getting to give a speech to supporters. Normally I'd not have been allowed through the door due to racism.Hey Pandas, What Was Your ‘Popular’ Moment?
When I accidently commented on the wrong post. I deleted my answer because it did not make sense. Fellow Pandas kept upvoting me, assuming it was a joke!
