"Have your back"

**Mr Merde** · 10th June 2009, 15:53

I've been a member of this site for a while now and have seen people come and go.

The other thing I have seen is a lot of friendships seemingly flourish on this site.

So just a question for the general polulace

Is there anyone on this site you would trust enough to "have your back"

You military and ex military persons should understand how important a concept this is.

Bugger off, they're bikers. They wouldn't give it back.

Yup, there's two and and they probably know who they are

If I name them, everyone will start lining up in front of them...

**Mr Merde** · 10th June 2009, 16:02

Dont name them

I was just pointing out to another KBer the importance of this concept and how when people actually thought about it how small the list would be.

That ammount of trust is a rare thing

I dont trust ANYONE that much

**PirateJafa** · 10th June 2009, 16:17

I would trust Slyr with anything bar my KFC.

**Mully** · 10th June 2009, 16:23

Without a doubt.

**Gwinch** · 10th June 2009, 16:25

Absolutely, positively. They know who they are.

I'm actually more curious about what different people would associate with the term "have your back"... What does it actually entail?

There are plenty of people that I like and some I trust in one regard or the other - but I am really too paranoid to trust anyone in everything, all of the time and in all circumstances.

I am extremely fortunate to have already had a few kiwibikers "have my back" over the past few years. I have met some awesome friends, along with my partner through this site that I would also trust without thought.

**Genestho** · 10th June 2009, 16:52

I have made some good bonds and great friends on this site, I am honored to know them, and they know who they are!!!!!

EDIT: Actually on thinking about it, I think "have your back" and trust need to be seperated... they are a seperate issue.

Many people "have had my back" here, thank goodness!!!!!! (THANKYOU!!)

I trust no-one except myself, when it comes down to instinct, or making decisions in my personal life, trust is a fragile thing, too easily broken....and at the end of the day, everything comes down to you.

Yes, plenty

**ManDownUnder** · 10th June 2009, 17:12

Yes, very few but there's two on here I can honestly that about. They both know who they are

While I can't relate to the possible military interpretation (never having been there) for me it's a "yes" to "Will you help". It don't matter what time, what place, how deep, foul or fast flowing the shit is...
