If there is one thing that I really, really dislike it is a "kiss-up". The kind of person/people who tell someone what they want to hear, stroke their ego, just generally make a fool of themselves. "You are the smartest person I know" "Wow, you do that better than anyone else" "You could never make a mistake" Makes me want to gag...
No one is perfect and by kissing-up that is basically what someone is telling them. Ridiculous! If someone has to stroke your ego that much then maybe they, and you, need help. Does it really benefit anyone to tell them they are wonderful and spectacular and you admire them oh so much? No!
So knock off the excessive compliments and treat people normally, the world will be a better place for it.
