I probably shouldn’t write about what I think about when I have nothing to think about but this prompt is too fun to pass up.  I hope this doesn’t come across as being too mean. I think about people; more specifically their appearance, and on occasion what they’re thinking or doing. This habit began when I was in high school. My older sister and I both dabbled in sign language for a while. My sister went on to major in deaf studies and I took a few years in college so I can sign to some degree (I am very good at “listening” which can be dangerous because my facial cues make deaf people think I understand way more than I really do).  My sister and I would practice signing all the time. Especially in public because it is so funny to see how people respond when they see people signing. Our practicing generally consisted of picking a person as a subject and then analyzing them (the great part of signing our comments was that we could be in close proximity to our subject and they would never know). This was great fun so we continued to do it and might I add got pretty good at it.

My theory is that people dress up to impress others (this seems to be more true in California than here (until I went to the university mall, I had never seen someone in camouflage at a mall)).when they go outside so reviewing their style choice is not at all wrong because they set themselves up for it. And I’ll add that I don’t place any final judgments on one’s character based on their choice of habit.
