Stereotypes.
A brief one.
Ever experienced a well known stereotype being played out or hilariously subverted in real life?

You're resilient, I'll give you that.

I once saw an old man (proper old, like 80 or something) rollerblading throughteh town centre. That was pretty cool.

being a hillbilly
my friend wanted to go shopping in the city and so we did, I didn't plan on buying anything, we went into a store, I saw a keychain I liked and promptly dropped it when I noticed the price tag said $65, I whispered in horror "OH MY GOD" and my friend sort of shrugged.
So of course, the sales person suggested we visit the clearance rack on the second floor. My friend was completely embarrassed. Whoops.

It's not what it says it is. Bert or not.
Have I done something in particular to warrant so much attention from you recently?

When I first arrived in China
I was teaching in a university, and was to begin with the only foreigner there. A month later, a guy from New York turned up; I was so glad to meet another western person that I made the classic mistake of acting all pally before I'd even sussed him out. He turned out to be ridiculously cheap, like some absurd Jewish stereotype: he used to hang around the canteen waiting for someone to buy him lunch; he asked some students (mostly children of peasant farmers etc) to help him buy a cellphone; they took him to a mobilephone shop, helped him pick one out and then he said "So are you guys going to help me pay for it?"; he once invited a student locked out of his dormitory (doors closed at 11) to stay at his apartment, then didn't offer him any food while he filled his own face; when we went to a bar, he didn't take enough money. He wore a woman's jacket during the winter.

God, I hated him. Schmuck.
