First impressions.

From the first glance, i immediately assume all these things about them and though sometimes my assumptions are correct, there are times when i've being proved wrong. It's kind of like, -BAM- stereotype broken. For example, if you were to see this gangster looking guy. You'd expect him to be all hardcore, with his pants low, smoking, swearing etc. But then instead of these things you see him playing with little kittens or helping an elderly woman across the street.
I was coming home from tutoring and i was at sutherland station. I was waiting for my mum to pick me up and i saw this man. Creepy looking, smoking, drinking. Looks like the type that would start a fight with the next person or try and rob you or something. I started edging further and further away from him. But then, this car pulled up next to him. A woman came out and there was an adorable little girl in the car. The little girl got out and the man picked her up and hugged her. They started playing with each other while the woman stood there and watched them while smiling.
It was cute.
Yes, i was wrong to have judged him as some creepy guy but i think we all judge people like these. We immediately become scared of them and though we may be right sometimes, there are times like these when those creepy guy stereotypes are broken.
And maybe that lady that likes to annoy everyone on the train by starting a conversation is actually very lonely or maybe that old man who likes to wink and smile creepily at people isn't actually a pedophile after all, but for now. I'm still going to judge them and assume that lady is a bit too weird and the old man is just a pedo.
