Are there certain areas in your life where you tend to act more bully-like?

If someone does something to my kids. If I witness someone else being "bullied". If my husband pisses me off.

I don't know about bullying, as in threatening and demeaning. In some things, I'm really attached to having my way, though.

I'm bossier with work-related stuff. In particular, when I'm dealing with bad behavior on a website. I wouldn't say it's bullying, though it's close.

I think only a few, that involves doing things I don't know how to do and I know they have to get done and there is no one else to do it. I get a bit aggresive and bully ish.

really never bully like at all

Any you guys call me Francis, I kill ya.

There are areas in which I can be headstrong and insistent, but I don't think I tend to go as far as bullying.

Some things, like unwarranted rudeness or poor service from retail store workers, but not face-to-face. I go home and slam them on Internet complaint sites. Or smokers because I absolutely despise secondhand smoke and am exposed to it all the time because I walk around outdoors a lot -- but again I don't confront them in a bullying manner; I just try to avoid them, and express my opinion on antismoking sites on the Web.

controlling money mainly. My wife has no clue how much money I make, where it goes, etc. She isn't even on the checking account. She also has no idea what company I work for or their phone number. All she knows is the city where I work. She also never has any cash at home. Doesn't need any since she never leaves the house unless I'm taking her somewhere. Her weapon is TV shopping with QVC. She spends over $200 a month on clothes and jewelry there.

As far as 'who' I would be a bully to it would only be my wife. To anyone in the outside world I feel like I am subservient to them, even poor people or homeless. Well, I really have no choice but to be a bully with my wife to combat her aggressive personality and feeling that the world revolves around her and no one else matters.

almost never. im not the "leaderly" type.

Religion, I guess, but not largely. I just ask hard questions sometimes, mention things. It's tough love, though.

And this friend of mine has some really annoying habits, like she eats like a large rodent and she says things out loud a lot, like if we're in the dollar store she will say, "Paper.. more paper.. scissors.. hats.. staples.. balloons... " So sometimes I bully her, but she needs it sometimes.

More adamant might be the word.....there are certain beliefs I have, I'm strong on....

Injustice, Prejudice , Bigoted,.....I usually attack these traits (publicly/ privately) and very easily get my point across. It all has to be with diplomacy and tact...and being a bit of a rebel.

This is assertive and very wise.

Only a few things like stupidity and those who are narrow minded.

Only at home, when family members won't co-operate. Even then, hardly ever.

I am not sure bully-like is the right way to put it. I just think I am right.

If someone threatens my son, or nephews, in highschool if someone picked a fight with me.
