Worst insult

Lets face it, since I'm white the racial names have no effect on my mood except to maybe make me hungry. Seriously, calling me a cracker or white bread rolls right off my back. What I hate is when somebody says "I had you pegged the second I met you. I knew you were such and such, this way or that." (Of course that not an exact quote, you're supposed to fill in different traits for 'such and such' and 'this way or that').

First of all, to be that transparent to somebody I just meet scares me. "Hello, nice to meet you" is all they need to know my personality and what I'm likely to do in a crowded setting? How outwardly projective of me. I know all you asses who caught that redundacy are fuming right now, to which I laugh. Redundancy has a way of pissing people off that I've never quite understood. I had (have) a friend it did it on purpose to annoy his mom.
" Look mom, there goes a police cop."
"Thats redundant."
"Repetitively redundant?"
So anyways to counteract these apparent super observants one must create a false sense of mystery to avoid being instantly pegged. Unless of course they peg you as someone you creates false senses of mystery, then you should run in fear. And I guess if you are naturally mysterious I guess you have to act predictably. So if you're predictable wear a cape. If you're mysterious for the love of God quit wearing that cape, and shave that thin curly mustache (to stop the stroking while thinking of something devious), and get contacts to replace that monacle (seriously, who wears a monacle these days). Apparently I find Mr. Peanut to be one mysterious, evil nut. (legume?)

Second of all, these quality peggers will not let you forget that they pegged you right of the bat. Constantly reminding you of your transparency to the world and lack of a unique defining quality. How easily you can be pigeon-holed into a certain group. I wonder where that term originated? Hmm.. that was not a question. I will not edit that though. Has anyone seen a pigeon hole?
But quality peggers are annoying because nobody likes a braggard. Unless of course they're bragging about something you did as a team. Then you can sit back and take the reflective awe while people inwardly hate the person doing the bragging.

And thats all I have to say about that.
Good day to you.
