Strange, relatively harmless prejudices (though you could argue none are healthy)...which ones do you hold and what are the pathologies behind them?

It always annoys me when I see fat-faced little fuckers with their parents. I guess thinking that they are cursing their kids with shortened lives and possible ridicule. It's none of my business and I don't act on it with any comments but there it is.

Also, slovenly couples. Only the woman or only the man is not bad but a pair of shameless slobs luxuriating in their own filth in public and flaunting it in other people's faces somehow grates on me.

Any other examples?

my day job requires me to go to peoples homes..mostly the filthy rich.
myself being lower middleclass, maybe i am jealous, but i cant stand hi-class older snobby woman who pay $300 for a gold toliet paper roll, I go to these houses and some people, all they can talk about is what they own, how they decorate, how much they paid for this and that.
Then they complain about the stupidest things, and they are always the rudest customers. Hardest to please.

I understand here in america, there is alot of unfair bigotry against the rich..many customers I have had have been very nice...its those few High class snobs that make the stereotype for the rest of rich america.

They just make me so mad sometimes, again probably because I am jealous of their $$$

I have a hard time with southern accents. I'm in tech support and it is very difficult for me to hear a really thick southern accent and not prejudge that person.

Mark me down for all three of the above. I hate to admit it, but I feel some degree of dislike for all three at times.

Funny thing is, I know the southern guy on the other end is thinking "fucking Yankee snob!"

Whatcha gonna do?

I hate cops too

...the few cops I know all came from sheltered christian homes, and they think they are on a mission from god, they demonize everybody who isnt of their kind.

they laugh and brag about useing unnessesary force on other people..mostly minorities or hippies.

my fundy racist father was a cop for 8 years or so, I remember his buddies getting together and telling "war stories"...they were all laughing about punching and kicking a obnoxous black guy in the gut, when nobody else was looking. " To put him in his place"
Bragging about harrassing and abusing hippies.

Stealing things of value at car crash scenes,

laughing about "crispy critters" ( cop-talk for people who burn up inside cars)

They would gang up on unsuspecting hippies or whoever and play games with them.

What was the name of that funny movie,
" Highway Patrol"?
That movie is more true to life than people think

I'm trying really hard not to go there. I got into it with Ronin about a year ago, and I don't have the time or inclination to get into it with another cop. Ronin seems like one of the rare good ones though (at least I hope so )

I rememebr one story..( cops HATE bikers)
they thought was so funny.. This biker hit a wall going 70 miles an hour. When they picked him up, his bones were so broken he just stretched like Plastic Man... they thought that was the funniest thing ever.

Another story about a car crash, a decapitated head hit the windshield of a car behind the crash, tramatising the old woman who was driving...they just laughed in hysterics over that one

I've noticed.

Secular Elation

I've never met an Indian that I have gotten along with.

I'm not sure if that would be a prejudice, though.
