So, I’m driving down the street today when all of a sudden this guy comes barreling out of a side street making a left turn onto the main street that I was on.  Since I’m trying to avoid calling people douche bag , I briefly honked my horn to let him know I was approaching.  He then flipped me off!  Being the bigger person, I didn’t return his greeting.  I will however, rip him to shreds here.

If you read Malcom Gladwell’s “Blink”, you’ll be familiar with his concept of “thin slicing.” It’s essentially the snap decisions that we make about people with the limited information that we have. 

Here is what I know factually about him from our brief encounter: he has New Hampshire plates, a mullet and no manners.

**  

Here’s my thin slicing: 

• He completed no more than 10 years of school
• During that time he was voted "Most Likely To Sleep with His Cousin"
• His mullet must weigh his head down in a way that makes it difficult to watch for oncoming cars on busy streets
• He was probably in a rush to get to Keno

** This wasn't the actual mullet sporter, just a close proximation that I found at Distractible.org
