Hey I like Goths... I sorta get into the Goth thing myself!
Chess: I am a very avid chess player...I also smoke out. And listen to classical music.
Chess? My husband LOVES Chess! Smoke out? Where da Bud At? Classical? K3wL!
I hate this: To be a gamer, you have to like Zelda. I can't STAND Zelda... (Time to be grilled...) Personally, I prefer Tekken and Dynasty Warriors to anything. (that I have played)

I can't think of any stereotypes about me which annoy me. As for stereotypes in general, the worst that I can think of is the Terminator Meme. The idea which is (seemingly) that any AI will begin working on ways to either exterminate or enslave humanity mere nanoseconds after it's birth... I hate that one with a passion.

stereotypes can actually be pretty cool. for example if think about a certain one and it fits you in all points. for example the college student who shares an appartement with a few other ones, in the evening they sit in the kitchen which is pretty much fucked up and dirty, and smoke pot and drink beer. the bong is usually stored in this little cabinet under the sink right next to a rarely used mr. clean bottle. there are overflowing trash cans and next to them there´s a crapy little Casio radio playing a Kid Loco CD. the refrigerator is empty besides a dried up piece of cheddar chese and a bottle of Heinz ketchup in a plastic squeeze bottle.

and on and on and on...

cliches rule!

Thistype of comment. And yes, I did call him on it too, he just didn't bother to respond.

Otherwise, I'm equally irritated by all kinds of stereotypes. Especially the notion that "Star Trek makes you smarter". Does that count?

I hate it when people look at me like some kind of twisted predator.

Gays are pedophiles

Atheists are evil

Pagans/wiccans worship satan

That gays are limp-wristed queens

That people who are different are going to come to school with an automatic weapon

Lawyers are evil

Ministers sons/daughters are all perfect little angels

The list goes on

Oh and by the way... I am a starwars/babylon 5 fan

I do play chess

I do play dungeons and dragons into the late hours with friends(I dont call myself the DM for nothing)

Ever tried it? Staying at home with the kids is anything but boring. My wife's job is harder than mine.

Actually, the boring was to the staying home, not the kids. I honestly do not want kids.

Nawlins??? Where's that?

New Orleans.

Anyway, one of the stereotypes that really bugs me is the "Women are incapable comprehending science or being scientists." I hope they remember that the next time they need an X-ray.

Staying at home isn't that boring! You need to follow what my wife and I have done, and pad your house with absolutely perverse amounts of technology.

You just can't get bored with anything that goes 'beep'.

Had I the money...

Then again, I do have a PS2, Cube and Saturn hooked up to the TV. Plus the nearly 200 DVDs.... But, I get bored very easily. That and when I really do get into a game, I have a tendency to forget about food.

so what? if you sit infront of the screen you dont burn that many calories, so why worry about eating if you can train you finger muscles on the joypad?

Yeah, but after you've been sitting there for six hours and you try to get up, but your butt and legs are asleep.... now that is painful.

They cut you off, tailgate you, they don't put signals on, they blow their horns at people that have the right of way, disregard pedestrians' right of way, go 30 miles over the speed limit on highways all the while weaving in and out of traffic, and fly down suburban streets in order to get to a red light. Just stupid, stupid stuff. Larry from The Simpsons best summed it up when he raced to get pass a traffic light changing from yellow to red by saying, "Whew! I made it! Now if I only had somewhere to go..." Now I'm not saying all or even most drivers are like this, but you do see a few screwballs pulling shit like this every day. My father said when he was younger, no one drove like that. If only the traffic laws would be enforced here...lol.

Man, you just summed up driving in New York. It's insane! Ever been on the LIE during rush hour? Locked up as far as the eye can see, it is...

Sterotypes that get on my nerves:

That because I have a foregin accent they should SPEAK LOUDER (mostly a Texan trait). What the hell is up with this?

Since Im gay I should be Liberal, feminine and have all female or gay friends...and worse sterotypes I wont even go into.

Because Im blond I have more fun. Well...that at least is true

I didn't think so...infact, I had less fun...but then again, only when it goes with your skin tone...

Well Im natural

But its the attitude you cart around under that mop of blonde hair that makes you fun!

That Retail workers exist to be shat upon, and that we deserve to have a shitty job.
Everything previously said about geeks and sci-fi fans. I carry at least one book every where I go. I will stay up all night online or gaming given half a chance. I literally walk down the street while reading most of the time. I also throw around boxes of paper and furniture at work for fun every chance I get, am a member of the Army Reserve, fence, and beat the shit out of people with foam weapons for the hell of it. If any of you need a video game that is more physically active, may I recommend Dance Dance Revolution? That game is disgustingly addictive if it appeals to you at all.
I actually find myself getting in trouble just because people are looking to be offended or pissed off, and will jump on the smallest action or inaction to accuse me of whatever "ism" happens to have gotten stuck up their ass along with their head.
