People and perceptions

[GOD]

One thing I've always noticed is how people react depending on how you present yourself.

I can think of occasions when I've worn my old but comfortable clothes and gone into a shop and the people that work there think you’re something they should scrape off their shoes... And then you go in shops in a sharp suit... and it changes.

I had this even in my bank, when some prissy low level accounts clerk asked me why I had so much money in my cheque account and nothing in my savings account.. and then proceeded to give me an almost lecture on the benefits of investing into a savings account. (And I know she just saw me wearing jeans and an old white T-Shirt).... LMAO.

Interestingly, also even where you're out and about it makes a difference. If you're at even the pub having lunch, if you're with a woman then the girls serving are all friendly and chatty. But when you’re with the guys, or even just a mate... they don't say much at all. Sure, they might think you're on the pull... but it’s really noticeable. I even had occasion last weekend in the same situation, bar girl that is pretty as anything normally has a face like a mask of depression (Even when you talk to her).. Then I turn up with a woman and she's as friendly as a puppy dog. Weird really.

Anyway, people are interesting.. and I like analysing them.

Quoting G-o-d...again:

Pull your chair right up here next to me.

I love them!

...and sometimes it is the more that things differ, the more they stay the same.

I think you would be the right person for this, organise a film or tv documentary on people's perceptions...disguise yourself as a lower socio economic vs wealthier person....film the reactions

Then, male vs female in a same situation eg a pub, on your own etc...

The possibilities are endless, realising of course similar things have been done...eg "My 13 days as a colored woman"....but specifically for people's perceptions, the difference ...the variances...some really interesting reality tv! Or even a book.

Your people that you have just been talking about, the clerk and the waitress, I would have found out all about them, why they think/act like that....sometimes it isn't the obvious, what you think it is either. Sometimes it is very basic stuff, and sometimes quite complex.

Gimme five minutes with them, I can find out heaps of stuff.

Lol.. I smiled at the clerk and said to her; well actually... that money sitting in my cheque account is what I need to clear off my current monthly credit card. Then the penny dropped with her and she realised that while that cheque account balance looked big... I didn't think it was.

The worst people in society for being class orientated are the middle managers, the wannabes. I learned this as a kid working in a petrol station, often or not the rich lawyers would do their own windscreen and pump their own tires. Ordinary blue collar types also would be the same. But those "fu**ers" that had jobs as shop floor supervisor would make you wash their window and pump their tyres... I learned a lot about people working in a gas station, I must have had at least 10,000 5 minute conversations with total strangers in that time.

Although once, I did mention to person while I was filling up their car about what a nice day it was and if they were on holiday.. when he mentioned "Actually I'm going to a funeral" ...that’s when I looked through the vehicles window and sure enough there was a big coffin... sheeze.. I should have noticed it was a hearse. Then there was the time I served a woman and her partner got out the passenger’s side... talk about a cross dresser.. I was speechless, just what do you say in those situations...lol
