What snap judgements do you make about people?

Snap judgement? And knowing there is probably no basis?

Southern accents = less intelligent and redneck.

I think so too and I am glad chicks do it. It’s a sign that they probably just rolled out bed, just finishing up a lesbian orgy, and they are running to the store to get more supplies and they probably want me to come back to their place and be the only guy in their lesbian orgy.

Guys that wear all black = are sad little creatures who cry when they masturbate and then cry themselves to sleep afterward.

I think they are self-centered, selfish, assholes who are thinking to themselves, “Look at me being so awesome reading in public. I bet everyone around me thinks i’m this super smart genius, like I know I am, and they are probably jealous of me.”

No, you fucking whore-bag you are just sitting there taking up valuable space. Valuable space I could be using so that I can sit in that spot and stare at the chick with the giant titties over there. Stop being selfish.

Positive snap judgements:

If I find out someone is in an interracial relationship that is NOT White woman, black man, or asian woman, white man (in my experience BY FAR the most common interracial relationship), I tend to think highly of them. White or Asian men especially impress me if they are with black women, and extra points for them if the black woman is darker and has un-relaxed hair and broad features instead of the Beyonce type of look (light skin, fakeish hair, delicate features, fairly white looking).

I think that what I am doing is giving these people credit for going against the norm, because it is much easier in American society to date and marry strictly within your race.

I am mixed and my father was white and my mother was black, and I had a pretty traumatic childhood where I was constantly forced to think about race (my own and others) so this is a part of me that I am not proud of but can’t deny it is there.

Negative snap judgements:

-I assume all republican voters are more likely than not, retarded. There are conservatives I can respect for their political intellect (they are still wrong IMO but a respectable wrong), but the republican “base” is a vast swath of the dumbest members of our country, IMO.

-No matter how long I have known someone, if I find out they have lived, or currently live, in a place where they don’t bother to lock their doors, I lose almost all respect for them. I know not everyone is from a crap neighborhood like I am, but I cannot fathom not even taking basic precautions to protect your family and loved ones. You have to be so mind-bogglingly naive to trust “the world” to not harm you to leave your house unlocked, I can’t consider these people full adults.

For a while I lived in a very small town where not only did people leave their houses unlocked, but also their cars, and they left the keys in the ignition. Was that so the keys would be easy to find? Or to make it easier for a neighbor to borrow the car if they needed it? I don’t know, but it was just too weird for me and I had to move away. I don’t want to come out of the bank and see my own car parked across the street at the diner.

Where I grew up, we didn’t even own a house key, and my parents left the car keys in the ignition when not in use. It was so prevalent, that I never even thought about it being dangerous- it was just what you did. Now that I’m grown, I’d never do that- I don’t even leave the door unlocked when I am home, but I live in a big bad city. But back then and there, it was just what everyone did.

When I see someone post on the Dope, I make a snap judgment that they are above average.

People who talk too loudly or too much I tend to judge as ignorant and back away from.

People who brag, give unsolicited advice, are name droppers or abuse animals.

If you’re a guy wearing a pork pie hat, you’re almost certainly a twat.

I’m prepared to meet an exception, but I haven’t yet.

Twickster’s Law Anyone driving a Hummer is an asshole. The end.
Anyone who advertises in their work ads or personal life that they are Christian, they are in fact Douchebags that cannot be trusted. Ever.
Morbidly Obese People have poor impulse control. runs away
If you have named your child after some Day Time, Night time, Reality TV show character - people, you are a fucking moron and your children will more than likely be fucking morons. Naming your child Optimus Prime, however, is cool.

If you scrapbook or go away for ‘scrapping’ weekends’, you need serious help. No one fucking cares about your goddamn obsession that you are paying $100 a book + for. NO ONE.

If you only listen on one kind of music and proclaim the ‘other’ kinds of music are all crap, you need to be detained in a cell and forced to listen to the other kinds of music until you ‘get’ it.

Teabaggers are proud of their sub intelligence.

Most of my snap judgments occur while driving, for better or worse. Most times they act like a spider sense and push me to stay clear of “bad” drivers.

My husband and I call them “douchehats.” They go well with the “doucheglasses” (white-framed sunglasses).

When I hear people say that they’re atheist, I think they are trying to make people think they are smarter than everybody else, and are going to treat me like I’m stupid. Because most of those people I’ve met in real life have been that way. I’m sure I’ve met plenty atheists who aren’t that way, but they just never said anything about being atheists. You know, like most people don’t look for many opportunities to declare they’re Baptist, either.

No less true now than when I first posted it umpty-ump years ago.

There are two kinds of people in this world:
Those who classify people into two types.
Those who do not.

I am in the latter group.

If you dislike animals, if you have a dog but won’t let it inside or if you’re inordinately worried about doggie germs, we’re probably not going to be best friends.

When I read threads like this on the dope, it makes me feel that there are a lot of folks who are not as bright and liberal minded as they imagined.

Backwards baseball cap: idiot.

Pants on the ground: idiot.

Car stereo bass crumbling nearby buildings: attention whore idiot.

Rear view mirror flipped to night during daytime: idiot.

Tag renewal sticker placed anywhere other than properly designated spot: idiot.

Handicapped permit hanging from mirror while driving, expressly ignoring instructions on the permit not to do this: idiot.

Slammed & modded rice-rocket: ignorant douchebag.

Christian symbol on car: self-important, hypocrite idiot.

Goth kids/adults: losers.

Skateboarders: pothead losers waiting to commit crimes when no one is watching.

Pageant moms: child abusing douchenozzles.

Hispanics at Home Depot and QuickTrip: illegal alien.

Piercings on face: complete loser, enormous idiot.

Bluetooth earpiece: self-important douchenozzle with a 4th grade education trying to look important and intelligent.

Cigarette smoker: selfish, arrogant asshole; complete idiot.

Cigar smoker: even worse.

Looks like I despise about 68% of the country. I thought it was higher!

I don’t understand this one. I’m a photographer and make scrapbooks for the guys on our local minor league hockey team. I don’t own a scrapbook of my own; I give them away. I like the idea of the guys having something to look back on later in life, these kids aren’t going to make the Big Show. I don’t go on scrapping weekends.

My snap judgments:

Negative: people who mistreat wait staff, sales clerks and other service people. I do not like you and cannot imagine any circumstance where we could be friends.

Positive: people who open doors for strangers, or pick up litter off the street and put it in a trash can.

lumbering down the street in a megaton, jacked-up, flashy chrome and lights, deep rumbling motor 4x4 truck.

I was able to read his bumper-sticker as we slowed and stopped for a red light…

“Yes, I am compensating for my small penis”

This is both hilarious and, in a really sad way, so very true.
