Do you automatically judge a certain age group?

Nemesis · 06-20-2008, 11:30 AM

For example, you are at a meet (car meet) and you start talking to a kid that's 18 and under. What are some things you assume until proven otherwise?

he/she is your former lover.

j/k george. I dk. Usually from experience, they are neutral in my mind until I hear them say something thats a blatant lie or definitely not possible. Usually I have found that more with people younger than me but I have caught some older people doing the same to impress.

I don't go strike up conversation with a kid under 18 at a car meet.
I'd look like an old fart trying to act "cool" and "hip".
That is how you young kids talk, right?
Slap me five, homeslice.

I be all like "Man, I love them highschool girls. I keep getting older and they stay the same age.....yeaaahh."

How original...

I'm actually on the other side of the rope; I'm a wee 19. about half the time I won't feel comfortable chatting with an adult (I'm not sure what the age cutoff is...let's say anyone with a family or a house) just because those presumptions are there. It seems like a barrier to overcome...one that's often not worth my time. You can't help but read a book by its cover, or age in this case. I would do the same. Getting around that "wall" is the interesting part...

I admit though that I want to be considered the "cool" neighbor in my neighborhood.
At Halloween, we give out candy to all kids, and cans of Coke/Pepsi products to the teens (and to the kids whose parents say it's ok).
They appreciate it, and they stay off ma lawn and don't touch my cars. So it's win/win.

Heck, I wouldn't mind inviting them over to play Rock Band with me, but again, I'd be afraid of them thinking I'm trying too hard. (or I'm some kind of creepy pervert)
Honestly, I just want someone to play video games with and I don't gots friends.

aww! I'll play with you Kim

I would have to bring one of my real guitars though, since you would destroy me at that game, and I would need to redeem myself somehow.

Nice. I have a friend from college who aspired to be the old man sitting on his porch in boxers and a stained wife-beater yelling at the kids to stay off his damn lawn.
