So I saw this guy today. He his gray hair was shaved all around his head, and the first few buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned to reveal a necklace caressing his chest. The necklace was gold and attached was a pendant in the shape of a martini. The gold goblet held a gold toothpick impaling a green olive, or maybe a grape.

I forgot where I was going with this.

Are you drunk, my good sir?

[Ninja Duck]

No, my point was that I was immediately able to judge his as some aging playboy wannabe, even though I know nothing about him, not even his name. I just didn't feel like typing that so I pretended to forget what I was doing. Are there experiences that other people have had with seeing complete strangers and making up life stories for them?

[Bond]

I think when people read my posts, they immediately assume I'm a spammer. Of course, that'd be judging as well, so...

[Heccubus]

I work at a deli counter and pretty much judge everyone that walks up. Every time I see a middle aged white man with a younger, asian woman with him (and it happens a lot more than you'd likely think) my instant assumption is that she is some kind of love bride that he ordered online or something. Either that, or mid-life crisis.

When I can see a guy's boxers peeking out from over his shorts, I know that guy's a poser.

Oh god. Working the deli counter, you meet with all types, no? I can sympathize. I had the same problem. I instantly became suspicious of every middle aged white guy who came up, because I knew I was going to get yelled at for something (out of my control/inconsequential to anyone else). Nine out of ten times I was correct, sadly. I sure hope I'm not like that when I'm older. I don't try to attack people who are handling my food and just doing their job, hopefully hitting age 45 doesn't flip some sort of 'jackass' switch.

everyone stereotypes to a certain degree, whether blatantly or lightly. everyone thinks im a ghettoed-out thug that is obsessed with snoop dogg

Perhaps they're just following Woody Allen's lead...

Every time I see a person with a cigarette, I've pretty much been conditioned to automatically think "bad person" and stay as far away from them as I can.

I smoke.

That’s funny. I automatically think (if they are smoking right outside the main entrance; which they usually do) that they are asshole and am comforted with the idea that they have an increased chance of getting mouth, throat and lung cancer.

Boy, then you'd have a fun outting with Heccubus, I reckon...

I judge people by the way they type. I mean, the occasional typo is one thing; I can deal with those without slapping some sort of personality to that person. But completely stupid spelling errors (I'm talking, words that my 4th grade brother knows how to spell, not weird words like pneumonia); deliberate spelling errors (because bad spelling is sooo kewl); horrible grammar; also content, and overall tone produced by word choice and punctuation; or even someone that types like a grammar prude like me. But I don't mean that if someone doesn't type like they're writing a master's thesis, I don't like them - I just accidentally automatically assume that a person that does this, this, and this typing habit is a *this* kind of person. Am I as weird and alone on this as I think I am?

[Deepsycher]

When I am typing I sometimes make mistakes I can't help.
I don't like those who use too much of shortened words. In gameplay at the end some usually say "gg" standing for good game and I really find that annoying so I try not to look at the messages. I don't like the word "cool" in the way it is used. I got use to it some years ago.

Also it is you should never judge people by the book.
That happened to me almost everytime I meet a "professional" on judging people.

No, you're not. I'm a bit of a grammar stickler, myself, and when I come across horribly-punctuated posts, I automatically assume the person who posted it is lazy and immature.
