Hmm...doesn't seem like Michael (from The Office) would point at women that way even though he can be very sexist. I think he'd call them 'chick' or 'babe' or something belittling like that instead.
Yeah.

my favorite is saying nothing, forcing others to spill their guts

i use a car antenna. it's great. you can point at people, smack it on the table, or just wave it around in the air to make that little whistle noise.

Anyway, pointing is for wusses now.

It depends, if you're pointing at their boobs then perhaps it's intimidating.

it's more just pointing in their faces, you know, to get a reaction or an answer. then, you can press you finger on the meeting table, in a sort of 'bullet' point action, like 1-2-3! it basically shows you're deadly serious. i've been to some presentation workshops and not many folk can carry that shit off with as much aplomb as others.

I like to sit there and make like I'm paying attention in meetings.
I'm really not.
I think that McDonald's ad where the bloke says terracotta is about right for me in meetings.

I take my shoe off and pound it on the table like Kruschev.
Now THAT makes people take notice.

Most meetings are full of cunts.

in the filipino culture, you never point at people with your fingers because that is basically putting them on the same level as dogs. So filipinos point with their lips.

I walked into a closet once..
I had to use the toilet and thought it was the door to leave the conference room... It was in front of about 15 people...

hahaha zombie.
i'd say pointing a finger AT someone would be a bit intimidating to a person. even more so if there was a booger on the end of it.
i usually don't point in meetings. i slap people in their face when i want to get my point across.
*slaps intern in face

It's funny, whenever I go to Japan for more than a week or so I unlearn pointing (a cultural no-no there) and do the whole hand gesture thing...when I get back to the states and see everyone pointing it feels aggressive. There's a reason politicians generally don't point in public speeches - unless they do it on purpose...

pointing is only appropriate if accompanied with "pull my finger"

laser-pointers in the eyes is the way forward to grab someones attention in a meeting.
