Wherein I Admit I'm a Creepy Cashier

[redleg]

just from my key ring one can easily discern that:

i work with/own AR15 pattern rifles
i don't drive
i drink often
my blood type is O POS

from my wallet you could easily discern:

i don't drive
i can legally carry concealed weapons in at least one state
i have been to Korea recently

now the one guesstimate from both key right and whats visible in wallet is incorrect. but its what people assume. (lack of car keys and you can't see my drivers licence.)

from that bit of guessing and often from my haircut one can easily guess where i currently work.

My current keyring setup wouldn't tell much:
I have a Chrysler/Jeep (depending on which side of the key you see; one side has the Chrysler logo, the other says Jeep)
My car is probably old (rubber band around the keyless entry to keep the buttons from falling off)
I have two house keys/probably live in an apartment (exterior door, interior door)

Not sure what they'd make of the blue carabiner holding my keys together at the moment.

With my normal setup, one might get the following:
My name has an M in it somewhere
I shop at Michaels a lot

Without being allowed to dig through my wallet, they might get the following:
I once lived in Utah
I have an iPod
I like to shop on Amazon.com
Which bank I keep my money at
I really like Michaels
I don't have a cell phone
I like the color red

Those last two are incorrect (I just happen to have a prepaid phone card in my wallet in case of emergency, and red was the only color my tri-fold wallet came in; I prefer wallet simplicity). I usually flip it open quickly to the card slot, so not much else is visible. One would have to have a quick eye to spot the phone card or my iPod's little cheat sheet that I keep in there. There's really a ton more to glean if one were able to rifle through the thing.

I can't do the key/wallet thing but I can tell what sport people played in high school. Freaked a lady out by telling her she played field hockey at a private girls school and she graduated a little more than 10 years before.

All I can do is take 4 single digit numbers and have them equal 24.

Ah, see, my comments about what people would glean from my wallet would be if they actually went through the thing.

Now, if my backpack went missing, and people went through it, they would probably learn/guess one or more of the following (some erroneously so):

I don't like to get wet when it rains.
I drink bottled beer, but don't like it getting warm.
I get headaches often.
I like playing cards a lot.
I take notes on things.
I drink wine.
I wear glasses.
Where I work.

Okay....tell me, what sport(s) did I play in high school? And no, this is not a trick question, as I did participate in athletics in all 3 of my high schools.

Or do you actually have to see the person to do this? If so, I am sure there are plenty of pictures of me lying about in here somewhere....

[Teefies2]

Yeah, we get in trouble over rates.... although, because I can't be promoted and am looking for greener pastors, I can safely not care if I get written up because I will just bring everyone down with me.

Having worked in churches for over 15 years, I would like to see some "greener pastors" too

Your middle name is Ralph, as in puke, your birth date's March 12th, you're 5'9 and a half, you weigh 130 pounds and your social security number is 049380913.

And now I really wanna watch Breakfast Club. Thanks, Irv.

[NateTheChops]

That, my friend, is what you call a very good cold reading.

It's why I never look at my client when I'm reading their cards. Just in case they think I'm pulling a Simon Baker act.

I actually have to see the person to do it but I will do my best **goes off to find pictures of Jester**

I don't know what that is. But believe you me I look at them. I don't have to look at them much by the time they sit down, I've checked them out long before then.

[NateTheChops]

Simon Baker is the guy in The Mentalist. Great show, but it's essentially about a guy who used to use his observational skills to perform a fradulent psychic act. Now he's a specialist to the police force. It's basically Psych meets Castle.

Allow me to help. I think that's a good cross-section of pictures of me in my life. And all within the last few years.

[SuperRTL]

@Jester My guess is track and field. Possibly soccer but I'd be willing to bet you were a runner/jumper. Maybe one of the lower weight divisions of wrestling but I'll stick with track and field.

Kogarashi, I've got the same thing going with my key and wallet set-up!

My current keyring setup wouldn't tell much:

I drive a car, but you can't tell the make from the key
A house/apartment key
And three other keys that I don't know if people can guess that one is the mailbox, one is the fuel cap on my car, and one for the laundry room (that's never locked anyway).
That I like Eeyore
I went to NMSU
I went to to the Gathering in 2009
And a keyring that is made from a piece of Irish wood that I got at the Giant's Causeway (but only about 6 other people know that's what it is)

Without being allowed to dig through my wallet, they might get the following:

There's really a ton more to glean if one were able to rifle through the thing.

I am licensed to drive in New Mexico
I have a Visa/debit card
I shop at Sam's and High Country Gardens
I can check out books at the library (if you know what the ABQ/BernCo Library System cards look like)
