Recognize the Cadgers at work

Encountered a Cadger? Not yet? Well, you may, someday. So before you do, learn how they could approach you and ask you to do them undue favors.

Here's what I learned about them;

  1. Unpredictable: They are completely irrational in their behaviors. You can't predict them easily on what they are gonna do with you in next moment. 
  2. Selfish: They approach you ONLY when they want you to do something for them. However, if you need their help, they won't even recognize you.
  3. Irresponsible: They expect you to do something as if it was your responsibility by default. And if you are willing to help, they want you to do it end-to- end.
  4. Ungrateful: They always seek FREE support and are extremely ungrateful for whatever you do for them, they will consider it less in any case.
  5. Unfair: They would follow any means to get their need fulfilled. They could go negative as well regardless of how good you behave.
  6. Annoying: They would chase you until your blood pressure goes up and you react. Once you respond, they will misinterpret your reaction, assuming themselves innocent.
  7. Trouble-maker: They would put you in trouble, in a way you never expect. You respect the relationship with them and they misuse it to the level, beyond limits.

The list is long but the above are common signs of such people, you may find at work, in the neighborhood or in any other circle.

What to do?

Recognize them and better avoid. If you engage with them, they surely will waste your time and energy, more than your expectations.

The above is not applicable to genuine needy people, as they have different situation and signs.

Share your thoughts and experiences, to benefit others. I have experienced it with such a "GREAT" individual recently with whom I have worked earlier and am wondering if he has guts to read between lines. Your comments will be highly welcomed!

It sounds like a Cadger is a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
