"Stereotyping"

Doesn't sterotyping irritate you?

My aunty came around today and because I was wearing baggy trowsers she says, "Ooh so you are one of those stupid moshers now". The rest of my family (Who still live on coincil estates where they were brought up, my mum was the only 1 who moved away) are all townies.

She gave me a total lecture about how I am a misfit and look stupid wearing baggys and hoody and how we 'all have skateboads and spraypaint walls'

This isnt the only prejedgement I have undergone in my life. Because I aren't particularly tall (Im about 5'6) people assume I am not going to fight back. This guy as school who is the cockiest son of a 8itch you will ever meet decided that because I am better than him at football, he would threaten me. I floored him and gave him a black eye. I have however been given black eyes and bust lips by people who assume I wont fight back.

Also because I am pretty big, always have been (Done weights and rugby since I can remember) My teachers assume I will be disruptive. The fact I used to have a skinhead didnt help, but they accused me of been the trouble causer when infact I got some of the best grades in the year in the exams.

One thing I cannot stand is stereotyping people for the way they look or act. I've said my piece now and am happy. Thanks for listening.

I only ever where combat/khaki or whatever they're called, mainly because I can't stand tight trousers.

So whenever a relative comes round it's " Oh aye where yer chain? "... I then explain to them for five minutes how I do not fit into any category then they talk about when I was a baby and used to be cute.

Mooses and mounties!

Damn Kannunts, why are they so enthusiastic about people coming on holiday to Canada for? it's not like they have anything woth seeing there.

Damn canada

It doesnt let you win them any more i dont think, I just tried and it said its only available to U.S and Canadian residents. Bah.

Cool! *goes to website with gluttonous look in eye*

FREE!

It is 1 per person. But you can win each day.

I won everyday for like... a few weeks. I think they realised they were giving them away to the same person after a while and them stopping letting me win is thier kind way of calling me a greedy git.

Hmm.

*opens draw stashed with Jelly Belly free samples*
