Three reasons I am evil (or naughty by nature) –

It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both. ~ Nicollò Machiavelli

1) Ice falls to the floor in a deliciously provocative manner. I giggle; a colleague glances up at me while cleaning up the ice. “Oh, sorry,” I say with a grin. To which I am told – “I think that you are very evil, but you hide it. We only get glimpses of it at times.”

2) Male colleague asks me a question about the actions of woman. When asked why – I am told that he hoped that evil would recognize evil.

3) I have been told that I look like an angel in the light, but act like the devil in the dark.

Now – why can’t I be evil to him?
