We all judge or assess each other. It's human nature. To me first impressions are the ones that are
the hardest the un-do. I can't stand when someone pretends to be something they aren't. The sticker
thing, while subtle, is an indicator to me of a personality trait. Could it be that the component
was removed and they just liked the sticker? Sure but that's not my first impression. After a few
minutes of conversation I can usually figure out whether or not the first impression was correct.
You act like I stop and stew over this stuff. It's more of a passing thought and not something that
keeps me up at night. It makes me grin when I see it. That's about it. Kind of like a girl I once
saw climbing Ayres Rock in Australia in a short skirt and heals. She may have been a very nice
person but I definately questioned her judgement and smiled at the line of guys following up the
chain behind her........................................ I have to admit..... I almost turned around
and went back up.
