What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?
-
I must say this seems a bit shallow...
There is a saying in my country - I am not rich enough to buy cheap stuff.
This means that buying cheap stuff, which usually has poor quality, means you need to pay more to either buy new cheap stuff when it breaks or pay for repairs or maintenance. An expensive item would probably pay itself off and be cheaper in the long term simply due to better quality.
Surely you've heard of Vimes' "Boot Theory"?

Crosses.
99% chance it’s performative.
There's some verses in the Bible that tell you to be wary of those that come dressed clean and godly, that pray in public, and make a spectacle of their worship.
I forget exactly the words but it is basically that yeah, they're filthy and ungodly inside. -
T-shirts with wolves.
I judge them to be AWESOME
-
MAGA shit, thin blue line, black US flag, etc...
In case a civil war actually happens, it's good to know the enemy.
Add "Gulf of America" shirts to the list

The less they did the more they wear it. After getting out I've noticed an inverse correlation between how much somebody did during their military career and how much they want to talk about the fact that they were in.
The guys who didn't see shit are the ones who brag about having to kill a child suicide bomber or other shit they've made up. I wasn't in, but I've worked with and otherwise known plenty. The braggarts are full of shit.

Anyone who pays the ridiculous up charge so they can provide free advertising for any big brand. If you paid $50 bucks for a regular ass shirt with nothing but a Nike logo on it then you’re a fucking rube.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I agree with you for what it's worth, but sometimes it isn't the logo but the quality of the clothing. Nike shirt ain't that.

This is a german thing, but "Camp David" shirts are the first thing that come to mind. There is a good possibility the person wearing it is the most dense and arrogant person you'll ever meet.
Könnt ihr doch sicher bestätigen Germanbros, oder?
“Camp David” shirts
I had to google that. I have never seen one of these shirts before.

They are just labelling themselves accurately
[/big s - these days I just assume they got it at Goodwill/Value Village or something and thought it was a good price for a t-shit. Best reaction if it's a band you're into is dropping some good intro tracks - invite people in]
slow motion for all?

You see some fantastic outfits in Edinburgh. I think it's the inability of the locals to accept that sometimes it's hot. They don't really get the idea.
The best I ever saw was someone wearing shorts, white trainers, and a black bomber jacket. Very much giving off a vibe "it's bloody hot outside but I only own the one coat, so I'm wearing it"
I once saw a man in Tampa Florida riding a BMX bike wearing a full-ass parka, it was about 65 degrees F(18 C). Opposite reason, similar result.

Ford Ranger drivers, and to a lesser extent large dual-cab utes in general. Cashed up bogans to a man. They just have a reckless disregard for other road users and take up far too much space. They're all registered as 'commercial', so they're a tax dodge as well.
I used to drive an old red Ford Ranger 5-speed for a job and I loved it. Small truck compared to modern though. Shame it's got that rep in Oz.

I have never seen rich people wearing the fake rich brands you see having shops in the expensive parts of the city.
The funny thing is that there are non rich people that will go out of their way to look rich. Pure ostentation

That's true.
I have stories that I tell people I don't know well, and there are stories that only my sister, wife, and best friend have heard, and only once I had enough to drink.

I mean, a motorcycle is transportation. It can transport maybe you and one passenger (and some light cargo, I know), but it's more practical in a car-centric service economy than walking everywhere. They're also pretty fuel efficient for being so light, and fairly dangerous if people don't notice your tiny ass (which is an advantage of all the noise)
I have literally zero negative or positive opinions about Harleys as motorcycles, I don't own one or know anyone who does, I don't even have a motorcycle license so feel free to correct me if you have a differing opinion -- to me, they just are what some people enjoy. It's the... quality of the people who tend to enjoy them that gives me the ick. Like a bar that didn't quite fully kick the Nazis out. I know they aren't all Nazis, but there are still a disturbing number of Nazis. Or at the very least, American neo-nazis are not frequently depicted riding crotch rockets from overseas.
That's true, a motorcycle is transportation. And, I suppose if you just go for a ride around the city taking pleasure at annoying people with the sound of your loud pipes, it serves a "useful" function for you, in that it brings you pleasure.

Ok, well that's where I differ. Harleys are terrible motorcycles. They use engine technology from the 1960s while bikes from every other manufacturer use tech that's decades more advanced. The power to weight ratios of their bikes are absolutely terrible, and not just because they're cruisers, every other cruiser out there has a better power to weight ratio. Then, even worse is the price. The performance you get per dollar from a Harley is just awful.
With Harley you're paying for the brand name. You get a bike that in every measurable way is worse than a bike by virtually any other manufacturer, but because Harley has done such a good job of establishing a certain image, people will overpay for an underperforming bike as long as it has that brand name attached, and as long as it has the Harley sound and feel. (And that "sound and feel" is basically an engine that is going to shake the fillings out of your teeth because it's using ancient technology that every other manufacturer has ditched.)
The Nazi-adjacency is part of the mystique. They're the "outlaw motorcycle gang" brand, and a lot of the outlaw motorcycle gangs are not just violent, they're also racist, sexist, homophobic, and so-on. It's really the brand for dentists and lawyers who have boring office jobs but want to spend money to feel like they're badasses. They're not going to commit heinous crimes, but they can dress up like the people who do, and feel a bit of a thrill that maybe the people that see them on their bikes are going to be a bit afraid.

Oh dear Lord I'm literally wearing one of them!
Just bought a couple a few years back, coz they looked durable and comfy!
Is this a very general stereotype? I'm gonna have to leave them home when I'm visitingI'm sorry bro, no offense. At least in Germany it's somewhat a stereotype.

Edit: What do you judge them for?

One of those giant stickers meant to make it look like there’s a tied up woman in the back of their pickup.
At best, it’s advertising that they think abusing women is funny.
Eww, thats a thing????

Eww, thats a thing????
Sadly, yes. You’d think that somewhere along the line, someone would say “hey, maybe this isn’t a good idea”, but nope.

I like Pit Vipers, not gonna wear them in public (not my style) but they're cool.
In a prior job I worked in quality assurance, we didn't have dedicated safety people in site so QA handled that too.
We could not get people to wear PPE on their own on the regular, especially ear pro. We'd have people bucking rivets and I'd walk up and hand then ear plugs (I always carried spare boxes of disposables in my pockets.)
Anyway, Pit Viper started making Z87 rated glasses. I bought a pair, started wearing them, people dug them. I contacted Pit Viper and they gave me a discount code for the site. Pit Viper eye pro exploded on site. At about the same time blue tooth ear pro was taking off. So people were wearing all their PPE.My site manager didn't like the look or the Bluetooth ear muffs and told QA to tell people they couldn't wear them. I said, "Motherfucker, they're finally wearing their PPE and you want me to stop them because you think it looks unprofessional?! You wear white oakleys in public. No."
This is the same boss that wrote me up for bullying him twice. Anyways, the Pit Vipers reminded me of that.wrote last edited by [email protected]That's extra dope. Shit, I should look for safety-rated sunglasses that don't make people think I'm too homophobic to touch my own ass. They must exist, right?

I used to work retail and was helping a college aged guy pick out some new headphones. He was deciding between some Beats and some Bose headphones. I literally asked him "do you want something that sounds good or looks good" and was amazed he actually said "looks good". So I reluctantly sold him the Beats.
Heeeey my bose QC headphones lꝏk pretty gꝏd
