When was the last time you misjudged someone?

You assumed that they were broke but they were loaded or, you assumed that they were loaded and they were broke and at what point did you you realize your mistake -
I think this happens often because of the way people dress or what they drive.
Sometimes I think that animals are smarter than humans, animals would never allow the dumbest one to lead the pack

Everyday I’m sure. Try not to do it sometimes it’s easy make assumptions.
You mean like Vanilla:
Do you know what happens when you "assume"?
This guy is a multi-millionaire!
That is one of the unfortunate people who make me say " But for the grace of God there go I".
I count my blessings every single day. I grew up in a poor community. I worked 60 hour weeks for 25 years to raise my family.
I learned very young that if I had a sound mind I could achieve anything.
I don't work that hard anymore. My kids are now 30, 29, 27,26.
Now I am collecting coins. It's time to have some fun.
Ever since Zuckerberg mainstreamed the hoodie look you can’t judge a book by its cover.
At the same time, don't discount profiling (your spidey sense) and sense a danger that, if ignored, could be tragic.
This guy is a local in our community. He suffers from mental illness. Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder. He's a Vietnam vet. He chooses to live like this. Like I said; he's a multi-millionaire. He has more money then you and me put together. But the money means nothing with mental illness.
The moral of the story. You don't always know a book by it's cover.
I think my wife misjudged me based on my appearance on our first date. September will be 30 years!!!
Congratulations on 30 years, I'm definitely punching above my weight too. My wife and I will be celebrating 22 years in June.
I'm not going to use names although this is a true story and I know the people involved. A certain person stopped one day and asked a farmer who had a piece of property for sale, how much he was asking. The farmer took one look at this man and said it doesn't matter, because you couldn't afford it. The man turned around and left. What the the farmer didn't realize was the man happened to be a certain country music star who doesn't necessarily dress the part. I don't know what he paid, but the country musician ended up buying a piece of property a few miles north around the town I grew up in.

There is a distinct difference between 'judging' and 'evaluating'.... I will, when necessary, judge a person on their behavior.... However, I evaluate those I interact with as (and if) I get to know them better. Judgement is based on evidence, and that may take time - though not always. Cheers, RickO
I learned a great lesson early on in my life. During the summers in high school I worked maintenance at a school, painting classrooms, cleaning desks, waxing floors etc. I guy would come in driving a beat up old El Camino with the back loaded with old computers, wiring etc. He always wore shorts, tee shirt, baseball cap and flipflops. I assumed he was some random guy working to replace or repairing computers. Evidently the man I would guess in his late 30's had sold his company to Cisco or EMC for a few hundred million dollars and with school budget cuts was volunteering to upgrade all the schools computers himself as his kids went there. He was in the school everyday during the summer working by himself. The old adage "never judge a book by its cover" definitely fit this scenario to a tee. Thirty years later I still remember this vividly.
Please keep topics on "coins".
