What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

" ((Candidate who Lost)) ((Previous Election Year))" bumper stickers after it has been a few years.

It feels needlessly divisive.

Although I saw a "Bob Dole '96" in the wild recently, and I kind of grudgingly admire that level of procrastination.

Rolex. Up to you to interpret what this means.

MAGA shit, thin blue line, black US flag, etc...

In case a civil war actually happens, it's good to know the enemy.

All of that plus any "Punisher" logo on clothing or vehicles.
- Especially that punisher skull motif with the Trump hair. That takes the cringe to a new level.
- I'm about to get a LGBT punisher logo for my car. 🤣
- dont forget thier lifted giant trucks, that are 1-3feet off the ground. we get it you bought a giant truck to look "masculine" and your wife is a soccer mom and a karen.
100%. I've recently added the "Grunt Style" tshirts to my red flag catalog.
Add "Gulf of America" shirts to the list
What’s wrong with a black US flag? It’s a discrete way to display the flag no?
- It’s not really a us flag once you change it.
- It supposedly means that "no quarter will be given".
- I'm Canadian, they use a black flag up here too. I don't know or care about proper flag usage, I just know if I see a black Canadian flag on someone's car or clothing that they:
  hate the left
  own a gun
  want "freedom"
  don't care about the environment
  possibly racist?
- It's against flag code and is considered not a proper flag.
- Ugh. I hate it when people downvote others for asking legitimate questions. I didn’t know it had a special meaning either, so thanks for taking one for the team. 🤷‍♂️

Cybertruck drivers.

ETA: Regular Tesla drivers I give the benefit of the doubt to, because they might have bought their car before they realized Musk is a Nazi dickhead man-child. But cybertruck drivers basically knew and didn't care (or still fanboi'd over him).

I saw a cybertruck the other day with a "Bought it before we knew Elon was crazy" bumper sticker on it. I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt, since I myself was pro-Elon once upon a time, but c'mon. I know not everyone stays plugged into the news cycle, but you didn't know until after you bought the cybertruck?
- A certain little moustache was generally popular and harmless before Hitler came along, but after the war it forever became the Hitler moustache and shaving one's face in that style nowadays invites the comparison whether or not one means it that way.
- wait, but the cybertruck was way after he went full nazi.
In the UK you can see what year most cars were bought based on the license plate. I absolutely give Tesla owners the benefit of the doubt if it was bought before this year - although Musk showed something of his true personality in 2018.
But the other day I saw a dude driving a Tesla Y with a '25 plate and I absolutely judged him for buying a car fronted by an actual nazi.
- He showed his personality when he accused a rescue worker of being a pedophile while trying to rescue children trapped in a cave.
  They told Musk to fuck off when he was insisting that his "submarine" can save the day.
  All the money in the world and no brains.
ive seen many teslar drivers bought thier regular tesla cars/suvs after musk went full nazi, like 1-2 years after he bought xitter. they know better, but they are very super-ignorant demographic, apparently alot of them in my area when i look into whos drivers, its asians, im asian.(its like a hybrid of ignorant but still aware of the news of the current events and still purchasing said item/services because it previously had brand recognition thats all they cared about, at the same time low info on the politicla spectrum)

For me, it’s a “thin blue line” sticker. I immediately think the person is racist.

On two occasions I made a louder-than-necessary comment to my kids to stay away from those people (MAGA hats too) while they were within earshot and then listed reasons why. Got some dirty looks, but no one ever approached me. Because they're a bunch of feckless cowards.
Same if they wear a MAGA hat, have a MAGA bumper sticker, or fly a Trump flag.
Or a Punisher sticker.
I see that sticker and I think is this an actual human capable of empathy?
I can let that one slide if it's on their car. They could be just trying to get out of tickets.
What, just because they're making it clear it's not "protect & serve", but instead "us vs. them"?
It's The Coward's Swastika ". Pretty much anyone who flies it is racist and a bootlicker. They're just afraid to fly the Nazi or Confederate flag...
i seen so many of them on suvs in a blue area, even on the uniforms of tradespeople who does maitenance for grocery stories, dont want to see it , we already know/.

If I see a bumper sticker that mentions jesus, I definitely assume that car is driven by the least christ-like person imaginable, and give them space.

Don’t drive near people who are not afraid to die
"Jesus take the wheel"
I've read the gospels, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a driving licence.
Jesus died for their sins though so it's ok.

I’m amazed nobody has mentioned a confederate flag (or confederate anything) yet. My first assumption would be that they’re racist and proud of it.

At this point that falls in line with MAGA gear to me, which lots of people have mentioned
- Good point. At the risk of making it sound cool, I’ll say that confederate flags are the OG MAGA gear.
- You'd be surprised at the number of Democrats in the South with them.
It's particularly jarring when people have them in Canada.

Blue line American Flag sticker/apparel, especially if it's set inside the Punisher logo.

Cops most of all, tells me they’re not only an asshole but an asshole who doesn’t even know what Frank Castle is all about despite rocking the logo
- For real. I'm willing to bet most don't even know it's from the Punisher, they just like it because it's a skull, or because they saw the word "Punisher" on the sales tag and thought that was cool.

One of those big trucks but they are immaculate, clean, scuff free. So not used for they are meant for: working.

Now they are just taking up space and being dangerous to the public just to try and help prop up someone's ego.

I call those brodozers, and I hate those drivers. I've damned near gotten hit by them so many times cuz they can't see shit over their hood
- I love that my dinky hatchback has more get up and go then they do, they get so fucking offended when you zoom off from a light next to them.
Had a lot of those come through when I worked at Lowe's. Many were indeed working trucks, but they were towing monster loads, not throwing shit in the back.
Yeah I see them parked at my office and always think - someone drove that enormous truck here, then went up the elevator to their office job. What the fuck?
I apologize for the misandry but also we have a saying down here - the bigger the truck, the smaller the cock. If you don't need a work truck for your work, you ought not get a work truck, it's stupid expensive and gas guzzling. I judge you.
We have a few of those here in the Netherlands and it's so ridiculous it's almost sad. These big American trucks really aren't fit for Dutch roads. They're too large for the roads, they don't fit in any parking lot, and they look ridiculous next to any normal car. I could sort of understand that a farmer would have them, but even then it can't be that useful because it must be a hassle any time the truck needs to pass through a city or village.
- Yeah I should have said: I'm from the Netherlands as well. And my gripes are only valid here I think. The roads here are NOT made for these monster sized units. Parking one of them means you are half way parked on the curb, meaning pedestrians and wheel chairs can no longer pass.
  I've seen cases where these "parked units" block the flow of traffic and even trams!! #useless
"Parking lot princesses"
City trucks
Do you judge people driving clean, scuff free vans as well or only truck drivers?
I use my truck for work but other than having a roof rack you probably wouldn't be able to tell it's a work truck from the outside. When it gets dirty, I wash it, and when it gets dents or scratches I fix them. I don't want it to look like a beater.
- A 4x4 truck with its big wheels and high ground clearance are features that allow the truck to move off-road. These features have the unfortunate side effect of making them dangerous to other road users, and very uneconomical / environmentally unfriendly. They also take up a lot of space.
  Work vans and most cars are capable of driving on a building site or track.
- Yeah Sorry, I should have said I'm not American. I'm Dutch. I've been to the USA and these things "fit" better in a car-centric society. At least there is room.
  But even there I still question it's usefulness, you cannot see right in front of you. You'd miss wheelchairs, children, etc. And van's can usually carry more the the flatbed of a truck.

MAGA hat

Cigarette smokers. Mostly because I hate the smell and smokers have their sense of smell damaged so much they don't notice. And sometimes when it sticks to their clothing I just can't be around them at all.

Worked with a guy that was a heavy smoker. When the first winter came around I didn't have a good spot to put my jacket. He had a 2 hook cubicle-wall-hang style coat hook. He moved it between our cubicles so I could use it too. I used it once. My jacket reeked at the end of the day.
I also dislike the smell, but I'm a lot more sympathetic to tobacco use than I used to be because stimulants help to correct low executive function and these people are probably managing their disability the only way they know how.
- dude holy shit. that actually explains so much about the smokers in my life. they never got the kind of help they needed because when they needed help people just thought they were lazy/stupid. i bet thats where a lot of their negative self talk stems from too. thanks for the new perspective.

I really love how there's one conservative going through the comments and ascribing a solitary downvote to any mention of conservative values, like trucks, crosses, Cybertrucks (cause it's super specific) and the like.

Hey asshole. How does it feel to be part of a community that hates your fucking guts?

I feel you— but also what does this declaration of hate garner us? Is it anything beyond the base tribalistic fervor: “we are strong fear us”. It makes sense if we were in person— but I fear this is how we create silos.
If there are conservatives here, and we continually assault them directly then perhaps they’ll leave— and while personally I may feel that would make the discourse more favorable, they do not disappear; they leave and find a more homogeneous pasture. We shouldn’t isolate ourselves lest we contribute to make debate a toxic no man’s land.
- Don't tolerate those who promote intolerance.
- I generally want good things for all people. However, modern conservatives in my neck of the woods have grown increasingly vile over the course of my lifetime. I like the idea that they might feel isolated because the ideas they champion are backward and negative. And because they seemingly delight in causing harm to others, especially groups who have less power.
- Do not try to humanize those who are clearly evil and evil for the sake of evil because they are psychopaths who delight in the suffering of others.
  Do not humanize these fucking animals. They are not "conservatives"; they are fucking NAZIS.

Cybertruck owners. That is all.

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.
I am convinced most people aren't religious, or at least agnostic. If they truly were they'd not be living like they are and wouldn't give a shit about anything but their holy book. I call it being alibi-religious.
- I used to wear a cross every day, and i believed... until i realized everyone else around me were all hypocrites for one reason or another and no one actually practiced what they preached.

MAGA gear. A Tesla, esp a Cyberdump. A Calvin Pissing sticker. A Jesus shirt; crosses display faith but a shirt or hat says "this is my whole entire identity". Any Suburban, F150, Super Duty, or similarly oversized American SUV or pickup. I know you never haul anything and your groceries are all in the cab.

Woah now, Calvin can piss on anything.. Surely there is room for comedy there.
- The cartoonist never agreed to mechanizing so at best it's still stealing from the family of a beloved icon.
If you have a religion, shouldn't it be your entire identity?
- ...no? Why would it be?
- Please elaborate. This is fascinating.
- You are arguing that everyone who has a particular religion should be identical to each other?

Cybertrucks

Ugh, yes. Seriously, Elon aside, what kinda GIGA-DOUCHE does a person have to be, to see that thing and think "Wow! I must have one!"

Maga hat

I try not to judge people for what they're wearing or carrying, but sometimes it's difficult.

Just today, I saw a guy in all black, sunglasses, black cap, etc, standing waving a Don't Tread on Me flag.

Beside a Pride parade.

In Edinburgh, Scotland.

WTAF?

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.
- I mean, it was just this one guy (and even he was wearing black cargo shorts) - most people were fully summered up in their attires!
  Too much so, im fact, since it started pouring down at one point! 😁
"Don't tread on me because it's really hot and I'm all sweaty in this getup - you could slip on the grease and hurt yourself."

Yeah, I find that shit offensive. It should be a private matter. Just being comfortable allowing it to be seen, even if you aren't outgoing about it, tells me we aren't compatible. I'll still treat you with respect, but I know we are very different people.
Now, if you're the kind of asshole who will ring my doorbell about it, I will tell you to "get fucked," and close the door. The sheer arrogance is astounding.
Yeah i hate voting too.

I'm Brazilian and live in a hot coastal city, so I usually pay attention to people wearing hoodies at weird times of the day. Bonus points if they're wearing a hoodie and shorts (it usually mean that guy is concealing something in it, if the guy was actually cold they wouldn't be wearing shorts).

I also tend to be kinda annoyed at people with christian stickers on their cars.

Oh man, you'd hate the Midwest. Aside from the obvious reasons, there's a baffling culture of white dudes who only wear shorts and hoodies no matter the temp outside.
- Canadians do this too, and then like flip flops or slip ons with socks. It's a choice..
- someone doesn't appreciate comfort
- I'm one of those strange folks, but I'm not wearing a hoodie in the summer lol. For me, it's a compromise between sensory issues and running warm. I hate wearing long pants, and I don't really mind the cold on my legs, so I wear a hoodie to stay warm and shorts to be comfortable. I'm not putting on a show for anyone, but lots of kids in the midwest absolutely do it for attention.
- Eh, I wouldn't be concerned about something like that if I lived in the US, here tho having a hoodie and no pants is the telltale sign of some dude up to no good. Hell, the last time some dude tried stealing bikes from our apartment building and we caught him in the act he was actually wearing an orange hoodie and shorts lmao
I work in a bakery. Bakeries are hot as fuck, so I wear shorts. They also open early as fuck, so I’m frequently walking to work sometime between 3:45 and 5:15, when it’s almost always very chilly.
Sweatshirt and shorts is basically my uniform, plus I look annoyed and I’m out in the middle of the night and fully sober. I imagine I’d put off a vibe I’m not intending to for you, lol.
- Socks and slides because blisters aren't fun.
Hoodie and shorts is standard winter wear here in Queensland.
Congrats on being the first response in the top twenty or so comments to not reference politics or religion lol
oh wait you did in the second part, oh well you get a pass. this whole thread is "Wedding like conservatives" which, like, yeah i get it, I don't either, but it's really boring to read

A portable speaker. What public space are you going to pollute with your noise?

Me, connecting to the speaker and opening up pornhub: "it's showtime"
I use to feel that way before I moved to the city. Now it's just part of the ambiance
they work in private spaces too
- Too late, ya been judged!
"I've got a bathtub and an imagination; I'm staying indoors this summer. That way I can listen to music I like." - Bill Hicks.

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

Really really long fake nails. Less judgement and more confusion I suppose. How do you do normal everyday activities?? I'm baffled

my sister wears these and i guess all i can say to your question is “very carefully.” she gets ones with cool designs on them so i guess i understand the hype, would never personally wear em tho. cant even stand normal nail polish on my nails cuz i get the urge to peel them off immediately :(
it takes getting used to for sure. it affects how you type, prepare meals, rummage around in bags, put in contact lenses and/or remove eyelashes/etc. from your eyes, and yes, how you hold the TP when you wipe.
it's a hobby and/or fashion statement, and like many of those it has tradeoffs lol. for me long nails was a job requirement (adult entertainment) that turned into a hobby (i learned to do my own because it eliminated salon costs, then found I enjoyed it artistically)

A lifted truck or SUV

Bonus hate for intentionally loud mufflers. These people really don't care how their decisions affect others.
- The only exception to this would be for motorcycles. I get that they want to be heard so that some driver doesn't pull out right in front and cut them off, or attempt to change lanes right into them.
  It's a potentially life saving tactic.

A tesla

Always remember
the car, the coil or the autistic savant?

American flag. Instant dislike and avoidence.

Same thing for me in Canada.
You cannot seriously buy into all of the values that Canada, as a country, has demonstrated for the last several hundred years.
You have to be the biggest ignoramus in the world to ignore how many social problems Canada (as an entity) is responsible for and fails to address in a meaningful ongoing way.
- I mean, it can mean opposition to the US way, which is basically the old British Empire way. The polls bear this out, too - patriotism is correlated with voting left and tolerance in Canada.

MAGA hats, swastika tattoos

I threw away my Adidas hat immediately because it was red. Couldn't even bare people assuming what it said, fuck that side.

A ute with no mud on it. Either it's brand new, or they have no idea what the point of a ute is, so they bought an overpriced car which is worse for them than an average station wagon

Had to look up what a ute was, for any Americans it's a pickup truck. And I was going to say the exact same thing, judging people for having a spotless pickup.
- "utility truck"

Pop Figures

I judge them for shitty spending choices.

Why buy a piece of plastic that sits in the box, and that box sits on a shelf. Theres literally no point to them. You can walk into the mall, look at all the pop figures in each store, and you just had the same experience as you would have if they sat in your house.

Granted, I also can’t stand their art style, but you just described every piece of decorative art. The only requirement of art is for someone to say it is.
- Unique art is a statement. Pop figures and the like are deliberately uniformly derivative ripoffs of something else that is actually art.
  So to liken it to food, real art is a delicious meal, and Pops are the digested remains of what once was a delicious meal, homogenized in to the always familiar shit, ready for the brainless flies to buzz around.

Beats headphones.

"Oh yeah those look cool. Did you want something that sounds good though?"

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.
- Hah, I appreciate the honesty though 😂
- Sometimes the headphones are just a public statement of "Don't talk to me please.", and the music is just secondary. In that case, the looks may win.
- Heeeey my bose QC headphones lꝏk pretty gꝏd ‼️
I asked for Beats back when i was a teen for my birthday. They were fairly new still and everyone thought it was so cool i had a pair. Eventually they got old and I replaced them with Audiotechnica headphones that were a fraction of the price and holy shit I never knew how poor the sound quality of Beats were before that moment lol.

A MAGA hat. I judge them for MAGA.

I no longer wear red clothes because I don't want to be lumped in with maga assholes.

Crucifix.

Being Religious.

Truth. I'm sorry that I'm only allowed one up-vote.

Anything clearly expensive = fucking idiot

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.
- There's a difference between quality and a Gucci bag made in the same factory as a 50 dollar bag the exact same way, though. Or anything like precious metals and jewels.
- Surely you've heard of Vimes' "Boot Theory"?
I have never seen rich people wearing the fake rich brands you see having shops in the expensive parts of the city.
- Yeah, expensive shit that looks just like normal shit is a real phenomenon, it's not only in Succession. Although that's also dumb.
  Prada is for people dumb enough to buy Prada.
- The funny thing is that there are non rich people that will go out of their way to look rich. Pure ostentation

Globally? American flag

MAGA gear or by association those stupid shirts, hats, and stickers that say “F your feelings” or “we the people have had enough” etc. most people I work and live around that’s there basic fashion and culture.

I haven't seen "we the people have had enough" before, but I feel it's pretty close to being co-opted by the left.
- I saw it as a sticker on a truck, old English font for "we the people" and then handwritten font underneath saying "have had enough". Only saw one, instant cringe.

Pants. Conformist cowards.

smart glasses with built in cameras, and for the same reason teslas

old Tesla's yes. New Teslas are HORRIBLE people
- In the UK our car number plates actually tell you when the car was first registered - the third and fourth digits are either the year or the year +50. Normally I object to this, since it was only introduced as the result of pressure from British Leyland to try and sell more cars, but it serves as a handy way of instantly categorising anyone with a, say, '23 or newer cuntmobile.

Brand clothing plastered with logos of the brand.

I immediately know you're vacuous and live your life for the image you have for others instead of focusing on yourself.

Same, sort of. For me it varies, some is supposed to be a status symbol and that I find lame.
But some are signals about a person; Bass Pro, fisherman; Backwoods, down to smoke; Burton, snowboarder; Venture, skateboarder; etc. These I see more as a band shirt, like "hey I like that thing/band too, wanna hang out?" These I actually like, they can be informative.
And some are just free shirts from work itself, vendors to your work, events, etc. Maybe they just got off and are still in "uniform" (if you can call a company t-shirt a uniform lmao), maybe their job sells a lot of Kawasaki and they sent shirts to the dealership they work at, this falls more into the informative category and indicate possible hobbies. Same with the event shirts, it's more about a memory of the event, it indicates possible hobbies like running or biking, and hell a free shirt is a free shirt.
Hell even the status symbol shirts, I guess do the same thing in signaling something about a person, but imo it signals that
you're vacuous and live your life for the image you have for others instead of focusing on yourself.
My wife's Filipino and that's just their style, like they're stuck in the 80s.

III percent sticker on a car or a shirt with that logo. It might as well be a swastika and they are so open about it. I'm so fucking sick of Nazis.

Harley Davidson clothing: they're very insecure.

Harley Davidson: „Pay tomorrows prices for yesterday’s technology!“
- Wanna know the difference between a Harley and a lawn mower?
  The lawn mower has a reason to sound like that.
- Want to look like a bad-ass tough guy [please don't look into this], without having to actually do anything other than buy merch and possibly buy an overpriced motorcycle? Just buy Harley Davison gear, and we promise people won't actually be laughing at you.
I would go so far as to say anything Harley Davidson related, even their motorcycles. They are over priced and under performing compared to literally every thing else.
- Yeah, I was on the fence about that. If someone has just a motorcycle and none of the gear, I might give them a pass, based on which motorcycle and how they have it set up.
Pretty much 'anything' clothing. I guess if it's a clothing brand of good quality and there is no choice except to wear it with the logo they stick on it might be an exception, but anything outside of that is basically paying to belong to some club with basically no membership requirements except spending money.
- Really good quality clothing doesn't have prominent logos.

Lifted trucks are sus, especially if they have balls hanging on the back.

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.

curious about the rangers...why do you hate them?
- I don't. Just the dickheads driving them. It's beyond me why they choose that particular vehicle, but there's definitely a pattern.
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.

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 = the weird but friendly Boomer neighbour that turns full racist after three beers.
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 visiting
- I'm sorry bro, no offense. At least in Germany it's somewhat a stereotype.
“Camp David” shirts
I had to google that. I have never seen one of these shirts before.

Cybersecurity people with iphones. Not strictly judging them but it is a grim reminder that even the "professionals" barely understand the technological privacy dystopia we live in.

Perhaps they do, just don't have enough energy to care about it in private life anymore and just go for convenience like the majority.
- Perhaps
I work in IT and I harshly judge anyone else in IT who willingly chooses an iPhone.
When I started with my current company they gave me my choice of iPhone as a company phone (basically last year's model at no cost, or I could pay a bit and get the latest model).... when I asked if Android was an option I was told "oh, no... Android is open source, so it isn't secure". If I didn't need the paycheck I would have quit right then. I just stared at my boss and didn't know what to say. I mean, I knew what I wanted to say, but I also didn't want to tell my new boss that he's a dumbass.
So now I carry 2 phones and last year I broke my Android phone and had to use the iPhone as my daily driver for a couple of months. I figured I'd come to appreciate the iPhone but no, there was almost no redeeming qualities.

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.

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.
Seems like you'd be a fan of Macklemore.

Rolex. Evincing pathological narcissism or psychopathy.

Not all of us ars like that, you know.
Awfully judgemental of you to think poorly of us folk who just happen to like precision, appreciate good engineering or maybe have a small penis and require lavish symbols of wealth and status to prove we'e a more valuable human being than you in symbolic caps lock.
My rolex justifies my existence and represents how worthy of everything i am and anyone who disagrees is a jealous underling rolexless peasant demon.
We're just better people because we purchased an overpriced obsolete piece of 19th century technology and put it on our wrists.
This time measuring device i display on myself will show my toxic paternal figures and all those peera that disapproved of me that i am not a small child that's starved for validation, but a big man who is extremely confident.
Also, since i have a rolex, I'm more entitled to all ypur money than you are. Give me your money. You'll just squander it.
Note to self: buy a 3 dollar casio digital watch and write 'rolex' on it with a sharpie. Next time someone with a real one is spotted, compliment their taste, try to force things in common and call them my hero. Request autograph when they leave.

Hm. Cop uniforms. I ~~accurately appraise~~ judge them to likely be problematic in all kinds of ways that might threaten my safety and certainly that of others

If someone carries a gun and they have a normal low-threat job and live in a normal low-threat suburb: wow, that person lives in a fantasy world, and is just looking for an excuse to hurt someone. What an absolute loser.

It's not judgement so much as a red flag, but those sunglasses that are like a solid cylinder wrapping around your head. They're popular with manosphere dudebros, which is unfortunate because I actually kind of like them.

Lifted pickups that I know cost more than a modest house. It's the same as buying a sports car, except you're also posing as a humble working man simultaneously.

Pit Viper glasses. Gas station boner pills to wear on your face.
- Nah, they're cool. Anyone that tells the manosphere to fuck all the way off is cool by me.

Big lifted truck with spacers, no tow hitch, and a perfect unlined bed. Why the fuck do you have a big shiny truck and flake on your promise to help your friend move because you don't want to scratch your precious unlined bed. I've had more luck asking a rando with a squarebody Chevy and made an even better better friend.

If someone has a good quality bicycle that they actually use: you got your shit together!

Intentionally sagging pants.

Arc'teryx (hardshell) jackets.

If you're walking around downtown you don't need it. If you actually needed it you wouldn't be wearing your expensive gear downtown.

Agree to some extent, but a counterpoint; some of us who do need them spend a lot of time doing the adventure things and less time making money, so not enough means or care to have nice normal or urban clothes on top of the expensive adventure kit.
So for sure, a bunch of Arcteryx clad status symbol signaling happening down at the local brewery, but don't judge too harshly. Some of us just came down from the mountains long enough to have a pint.
- Fair point, but I think I could separate those out pretty easily ;)

If they have a good opinion of me I know they're a poor judge of character.

Someone normal looking wearing clothing that references a nerdy hobby/interest: this person is self-confident enough to not be afraid to admit to having a nerdy side.

If someone seems extremely socially awkward and is wearing that kind of clothing it's different. But if it's someone who looks like a soccer mom but she's wearing a Critical Role tee shirt, she's cool. Or if it's a guy who looks like a construction worker with an Anime character: nice one, dude.

Any kind of of bumper sticker collection on the trunk(boot) lid.

One sticker with a snarky or clever saying is fine, but I do instantly judge anyone with a collage as a tacky person with poor taste and no sense of boundaries.

It matters not if I tend to agree with the advertised messages, it’s just a huge red flag to me.

I also think a collage of bumper stickers looks tacky. I wouldn't condemn it in such strong terms as you used, however.
what do you think about purses/bags with them?

I also have 2 frog bumper stickers and no other ones
- Bags are very different to me than cars for some reason. They are more personal, perhaps, as one can usually see the person and the busy bag together.
  Thinking about it, perhaps I see bumper stickers as impersonal and maybe even agressive (probably passive-aggressive even). A cute frog or two is vastly different to me than a collage of political sayings and it hardly matters if I happen to agree with the particular statements.
  Maybe it’s a matter of taste or perhaps I feel disdain because it looks like political activity but is actually utterly worthless at changing minds?

There's a LOT of things. Those are mostly shallow and me being a bad person though. I really judge people when they have super Christian clothing with tiny pieces of random supposedly important Bible verses. Those "don't tread on me" stickers. Really tacky shit in general. I wear a really obnoxious Goku/Vegeta hoodie sometimes, to make sure that the shallowest people will avoid me. I'm a hypocrite lol

The brand “hood rich”

Every scum bag I’ve known drapes themselves in hood rich.

A fedora with safari flaps in the back.

Saw one of these out in the wild yesterday; wasn't sure if it was meant to be ironic, but assuming it was.

Basically the only thing that really bothers me is a lack of epistemological humility, people pretending their views are objectively true.

Hats. Fucking hat people think they are better than me just because they cover their head?!

Wanted to cover your head anyway, just for a laugh? We already have a tool for that: it's called HAIR.
THEY HAVE PLAYED US FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS
I don’t think I’m better than you for wearing a hat, I’m bald and a sunburn on your scalp is a mother fucker, I think I’m better than you for other reasons entirely.

A cross necklace

One who wants others to think they believe

A vest over a button up

One who aspires and has not yet achieved

An oversized suit and padded heel shoes

One who is orange

I had a one-night-stand on a cruise once that was fun but almost ruined when he took off his shirt and there was a cross necklace on his chest. Missionary was basically my vampire ass trying not to get burned by the cross.

Had a guy profess his love for crypto on the last flight sitting behind me. He kept rambling about staying connected on discord and getting a heads up before bagholders. If you talk about investment strategies in public spaces and think crypto is hot and you still fly coach then fuck you and curse your family line back to the stone ages.

Cigarettes

It's ok, I judge myself too. Continue to judge and boo us, it may give some the extra push to finally quit
- I used to smoke, so I’m extra judgey.

College students with sports cars: I assume they’ll be in debt forever.

Or they're spoiled brats.

A classic Casio wristwatch.

Gentlemen, terrorist, or the best engineer you’ve ever met.

Well, I'm not the first, not third, but don't really intend to become second
- Not with that attitude! Come on, believe in yourself, you can do it!

Negatively: Almost any clothing with more than a couple words of text.

Clothing with a prominent brand.

Clothing with right-wing political connotations.

Dyed blonde hair or hair dyed brown/black that should, obviously, be gray.

Tramp stamps. Japanese writing tattoos on non-Japanese. Face tattoos. Neck tattoos. Tattoos of pop culture themes.

Expensive cars. Dodge pickup-trucks. Harley Davidson motorcycles. Dodge Chargers. Teslas.

Police officers.

Positively: Normal clothing. Well-dressed but obviously not expensive clothing. ‘Funky’ style clothing. Clothing that would just look stupid on me.

Wildly dyed hair. Subtlety dyed hair that isn’t covering something up.

Tattoos that are, at least, fairly unique.

Glasses. (I don’t know, I’m prejudiced for people with glasses.)

Old women.

I could probably come up with a lot more. We’re all prejudiced in some way. It’s the things that we’re prejudiced about and how attached we are to those prejudices that define us.

Crocs

I love my crocs, people who hate on me for them can fuck off hahaha
I fucking hated crocs when they came out.
And then I went on a canoe vacation in Sweden and now I swear by them 😂
One of my closest friends is a nurse (now general practice but did years in hospital A&E) and she wore crocs all the time. Changed my response to them completely.
They're so stupid looking, but so unfortunately comfortable. I wear a pair indoors all the time, but not to leave the house.
- Forgiven
- I don't understand how they are not sweaty as fuck? They are made of plastic, yes?

"cause" stickers

Shut the fuck up. Live your life in an ethical way, we do not need to see a sticker asserting what every decent person already knows is right

I find people who broadcast their ethical positions rarely live by them. Being ethical is a series of decisions on how you act, not what you tell people.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for a cause is let other people know it exists.
- A sticker akin to those family stick figures might just hurt a cause because you're immediately turning it in to a token statement people can easily mock.
  If you wnat a cause to prosper, talk to people about it. Don't familiarize them with the most easily ignored and mocked version of it before they even know what it's about.
- This is such a small way of looking at things.
  The best thing you can do is live according to your ethics and values. By setting an example.
  Putting a sticker on says hey... you behave this way.
Celebs shilling environment while flying on a private jet
I saw a ribbon sticker that said "support ribbon stickers" on a car here.

"Oh awesome, nice Tool shirt. What's your favorite track?"

Oh, I've never listened to them

seeeeeeeeeeeethe

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?
Waste not, want not.

Back the Blue

White shoes or white pants.

What about white undies?
- Giggity.

Harry Potter merch

Grunt style shirt

Always on a short or fat dude

I dunno why but short and fat (and consequentially insecure ) men love those shirts

What is a "grunt style shirt"?
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.
- 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.
- 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.

Police uniform.

Snapchat.

toeshoes. oof.

T-shirts with wolves.

I judge them to be AWESOME

Crocs

An onlyfans => ur a hoe

An onlyfans subscription => ur a sad idiot

Supreme shirt/simmillar => congratulations u could have stapled $50 cash to ur shirt

a baby on board sticker => congratulations u wanna tell everyone u fucked at least once

They want emergency responders to go back and look for a small body in the event of a crash.

Linux

Because fuck linux

This is unpopular opinion content sir
Care to expand upon that?
- Yeah I can, but every time I do I get comment stalked for days by linux fanatics

I'm 50 and still skate, gonna were what ever the hell I like. Please feel free to judge away.
- Feel free to do whatever you want man, im not gonna stop you. They asked and i answered just for fun, i just think this way but you're never gonna see me bother anyone neither in real life or online for their choices. It's just that this comes to my mind when i see it. Have a nice day
