How do people's appearances affect the way you view / treat them?

[Socci]

This is probably a difficult question to answer objectively but I'm interested.

For example - would you be likely to have sympathy with someone / cut someone slack if they were obviously pregnant?

Do people's age / clothes / weight have a bearing on how you treat them or views you may form about them either consciously or subconsciously?

Joash, do you often tell people your poo-related stories though?

good for your friend expat. Hope all goes well for her ... bit drastic though. I'm too much of a coward .

have also had some really nasty comments about psoriasis made to me, its not always noticeabl on my face but when it is im really self conscious i was working in a pub and a customer actually asked my what the f**k was up with my face and i shouldnt be allowed out as it put him off his drink! then he complained to the manager! funny though a few weeks later when i was out wearing a figure hugging top it wasnt my face he was looking at! he didnt even realise i was the same person!

only once they've got to know me .

Off out with a couple of guys from college at the end of april. Got a couple of friends coming down from yorkshire as well. I've warned the guys that they're in for a shock ... they think I'm reasonably well behaved .

The only person I have ever wanted to ask to leave my restaurant was a chap who looked awful and scruffy and brought a dog with him.

Turned out he was a Swiss billionaire who owned all the properties around us in Tuscany!

i am very judegmental in peoples appearances! but I do hide it well too.

why do people think you're a cleaner? that's seems far out to me. the whole 'you are where you live' thing escapes me.

The richest people here wear the muddiest wellies to the pub

me too - expat - me too

collision - didn't you get a tip them

bill gates used to go around malls - when he was rich but before his face was so recongisable - dressed like a scrub and see how he got treated. then out them all.

:o

I went to M&Ts for years though and never got invited anywhere - I put it down to not seeming like I needed to be invited anywhere - you know, self-sufficient, got plenty of friends, not short of playdates etc. Are you sure you don't give off that same vibe?

me too - expat - me too

collision - didn't you get a tip then

ooopps

oprah winfrey was not allowed into the hermes shop in paris.

but my minging bikini wax customer was a different story! i did think she was a dirty slapper! and i think you would have all judged her on her appearance!!

oh no - I deliberately go out of my way to be friendly - not pushy - just to wind them up because I can see how uncomfrotable they are.

And as I've said, the number of people that I've got to know well over the past decade or so that have admitted how they felt when they first met me is unbeleivable.

oh boak, nul! she was truly minging.

wot's this about a bikini wax customer ... have I missed something?

well as long as someone isn't obviously stinking drunk or high i can't say i really care. i've got close, true friends from all walks of life, all sizes, whatever. i'm a gobby freak so it's good having lots of folks around.

oh god, joash, i hope you haven't eaten, nul's customer is truly barfilicious

you missed the minging work stories joash!! im a beautician and i had a customer come in for a wax she hadnt washed and stunk of fish!! and had clearly had a shag the night before as the evidence was crusted onto her thighs!!

as expat said i hope you werent eating :o

then she wanted to have her minging feet seen to.

bet the bloke had sucked her toes. mmmmm.

yeah me too. I can be lots of different things at different times, but admit to being one of the obnoxious drunks (about once a year) that you'd probably hate.

i would have much respect for anyone that would not have judged that woman!!!!!
