Lately, I have found opportunists of all forms rub me the wrong way.
By all forms I mean...the wealthy mogul or politician who will eat babies to further himself in life, to the oh so lovely "sweetheart" who rewards with cookies and cake for yet another pay check or "small favor", so she can sit on her behind, not lift one finger and leech off every sucker around.
The list can go on and on, but I think you get the point.
Is there anyone you consider an "opportunist"? How do you feel about this person and what affect do they have/had on you?

Baby, nice answer, but I think you misunderstood. I am speaking of people who look to advance at the expense of others, etc.

They are users. They only deal with you if there is something that they can get out of it. I learned to keep my distance from opportunists. This is what an opportunist looks like:
1. The gossip who wants to destroy your relationships because of jealosy.
2. The co-worker who will find a way to discredit your career to exalt themselves.
3. People who are interested in how much money you make. Why?
4. These people don't respect boundaries. They don't understand that you are busy. They try to use guilt to manipulate if you say you are not comfortable with something.
I have had to sort of break up with these people, which made me the enemy, in their eyes. Actually, I was being safe. I know I did the right thing.

Will take whatever he or she can gain personally. For example money, belongings, status, or other valuable things in the world. These people have no principles for others only benefit themselves.
