Two Types of People

[KJS]

I am a big fan of 'Two Types of People' lists.

For example, "There are two types of people, people who jaywalk and people who don't jaywalk."

A list like that, IMO, gives some insight into a person's characteristics [rule breaker v. rule follower]. Then when you meet someone, you can ask them if they jaywalk and see if there answer matches yours, thus giving you some quick insight into the type of person they are.

The guideline I follow is that the types have to be mutually exclusive. Everyone should fit into one or the other and only that one. Things like "People who like baseball and people who like football" are bad, some people like neither or both.

Also, it works best when you can find people from each side who would defend their position, thus revealing more about themself.

Best to explain by example:

There are two types of people...

...People who will use someone else's toothbrush and people who won't.

...People who pee in the shower and people who don't

Anyone have their own?

People who go through others' medicine cabinets and people who don't.

I have never understood sneaking through someones' private things like that.

people who will masturabate when crashing at a friends house and people who wont.

Dude, that's the main reason to crash at a friend's house, so you can masturbate somewhere different.

Yeah, that's always struck me as borderline depraved.

I've had people over before and walked out of the room and come back and found them opening and closing drawers and cabinets, looking inside. That blows my mind. I would never do something so incredibly rude...and not just rude, but something that seems halfway toward stealing.

A guy did that one time and found bullets in a drawer, then started to give me a lecture on how wrong it was to be a gun owner. I mean, WTF? Who the hell does someone think he is to go rooting around uninvited in your stuff and then have the nerve to criticize what he finds?

There certainly are two types of people...

Masturbaters and liers.
