Since I'm a white male police officer I must be a fascist, racist, meat head. I'm tall I must be mean or stupid. I like d&d,comics, etc. Ergo I must be a dateless, awkward, druid.

Really irritating especially that last one.

I enjoy science... people think I am going to experiment on them.
I got two degrees in psychology. Common questions:

1. Do you know what I'm thinking?

2. Should I tell you about my feelings/dreams/strange sexual urges?

Then I have to explain I'm an applied and experimental psychologist, so I get:

3. Are you going to experiment on me?

4. Are you conditioning me to behave how you want?

Of course, the answer to both those questions is, "Yes. Yes I am." But I can't tell them that without ruining the experiment/conditioning!

Lol...

here is what you should answer:
1. Yes, and don't worry, I won't tell him / her (opposite gender to the speaker) about it ;)

2. Yes, and again, I won't tell them about that... except the knives, they may need to buy some sedatives first.

3. Pshhh... never... now eat this cucumber that I promise isn't laced with hallucinogenic mushroom juice.

4. I would never do such a thing, don't take my word on it though, just have this chocolate and I think you will see how trustworthy I am.

No more problem....

Here's a strange forgone conclusion that I run into every day of my life.

You like movies that win Oscars.
You hate every movie that wont win an Oscar.

There's another one that goes along with that
Every movie you recommend is boring.

You have a Received Pronunciation Accent.
Ergo you must be middle or upper class and Tory.

You wear mostly black.
Ergo you must be a Goth.

Your a student who appears to have a little money.
Ergo you must be selling Drugs. - TWICE that happened.

Oh man, you have not even seen the worst of it. I knew a guy who had a gorgeous girlfriend, top-of-the range car, nice house, clothes, the lot... He'd got it all by working his way up from a bottom-end call-centre job. One time he pulled up in his car to pick up his girl, and some guy came up to him and (completely without irony) asked if he could score him a gram... Then got mad when my friend explained that he wasn't, in fact, a drug dealer.

The guy actually insisted that he must be, because nobody has that much money :|

I wish I'd gone and worked with him when I had the chance >>

Chess....

My prejudice against chess has nothing to do with the fact i'm not very good at it :p

But what winds me up is when people say it's a game of "military" strategy. I mean, yes it's "strategic" in the broadest of terms, like how it's strategic to launch a concert in the summer holidays to maximise ticket sales. But it's not military strategy, end of story.

22 men running after a ball and when they get to it, they kick it. I rather watch a men hitting his head against the wall for 90 minutes.

No prejudices, sorry. Just had to take that off my mind>>

Wretched Football fans. (American Football, that is) I can't even venture into society on rivalry week. Because I just GOTTA prefer one over the other. Seriously they don't seem to comprehend that I don't care about which team wins. Last week was rivalry week. We have two Universities that are only separated by 44 minutes of interstate, so it's a pretty big rivalry because it's fans are contained everywhere within.

There are certain cars that, in my eyes, tell me that some people just don't care about the car itself, only the image the car carries.
Perfect example: The Prius. That is all.
Another example: Any of the super-mini cars that are trying to sell. I understand England had an epidemic of itty-bitty one-person Gee-Whiz cars not too long ago. At the same time, I remember the Smart Car was selling quite a bit in the US, and it's the same damn deal.

I have a prejudice against anyone who has even the faintest whiff of douchebag. I know it's a very broad term by now, but it's just an entire clique that I cannot stand. Wear your hat backwards for no reason whatsoever? Actually physically pop up your collar? Listen to meaningless rap-hop? Play NOTHING but generic brown-and-gray FPSs and Madden while reviling virtually everything else? These are signs of douchiness, and you can kindly suck a big bitter pickle. Do you walk down the hall, playing your shitty meaningless rap-hop out of the shitty speaker on the shitty phone you bought because your shitty friends bought it too? I hope you choke on the pickle.

Hipsters. There's something about them that I can't quite place my finger on that I don't like about them. Actually, in that vein of thought...

Apple users. HATE. THEM. If I see someone with a macbook that they're genuinely, defensively proud of, my opinion of them goes down a little. If you have so much as an iPod, chances are good that we aren't going to be good friends.

People who care a lot about celebrity news. I don't give a flying crapcake who had a wedding, who adopted a baby, who got drunk, and who's gone through the revolving door of drug rehab this week. If it's a really good actor/musician that dies somehow, I'll pay attention. If it's someone REALLY good, I'll even mourn them for a minute. When George Carlin died, you'd best believe I felt it. When Michael Jackson died, I cared only because nobody would shut the hell up.
If you're getting excited because some mediocre-flavor-of-the-week pop star decided to have a girl/boyfriend, you need shots.

So, yeah, those are my prejudices. I think I've met examples of all of the above that turned out to be great people, but I've met enough people that fit the prejudicial bill well enough for me to carry on with my pre-judging.

"You are skinny and you look young, you get drunk fast" Not unless I want to.

"You're an actor, so you must be kinda fruity" You smack other guys buttocks everytime you score a goal and you call me fruity?

"Well, I once saw you dressed in drag, with a high-pitched voice, playing as a woman" So, you want to do the same character everytime? I had the opportunity to play as a really ugly woman, and I took it, just like that time I had the opportunity to play as a womanizer and I took it too.

"You like Nirvana, that makes you-" Actually I'm digging Black Sabbath now.
"Well then, you're a metal he-" Holy shit, The Beatles are the best band ever!
"Then you must be-" Have you listened to this!? I'ts Emir Kusturica & No Smoking Orchestra, best band of all time.
"What? I... well then you're definetly-" Did you know that Keith Emerson composed Iron Man season one theme music? and that, his first album with The Nice kicks ass? here have a listen-
"I give up" WAIT, YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO THIS ROY HARPER ALBUM!

one prejudice i absolutely hate is when i'm talking to a person older than myself (i'm 18, so it's not hard to find a person older) and i offer my opinion, they dismiss it on the grounds that i'm young and thus have on idea what i'm talking about.
or that because i'm gay, i'm going to rape evey male that i see. i really really hate that one.
and finally the fact that i enjoy when i make people laugh i'm obviously an attention seeking wanker.

Sounds more like stereotyping than prejudice to me. Also, if your friends are quick to judge you wrongly then maybe you should consider getting more accepting friends.

I must agree to chess not being military strategy. Commanding troops on a battlefield would be much more complicated with many unpredictable variables, uneven sides, and large amounts of uncertainty.
