You’re that guy…
I’m starting a new series of blogs and I’m encouraging everybody to get in on the action! It’s called (wait for it…) “You’re that guy!”
That’s right campers! “You’re that guy” is about trying to box people into narrow minded stereo types. Here’s how it works: all you have to do is notice a trait, or common thread that vaguely links certain types of personalities or behaviours and then say “Oh, you’re that guy who has a bottle opener key ring…”
That’s it! So simple. You don’t have to make any value judgements, just pick it out and label it.
Here’s a couple to start us off:
- Oh, you’re that guy who wears skinny jeans…
- Oh, you’re that guy who spells the abbreviated ‘you are’ as ‘your’…
- Oh, you’re that guy who has an apple mac T-shirt…
See how fun it is! Give it a go!
I bet Pete’s got some good ones (eg. Oh, you’re that guy who dares me to pepper spray you…)
look forward to hearing from you.

You’re (I’m?) that guy who checks email every 15 minutes.

You’re that guy who blames us for stopping him and breath testing, when he’s had 9 schooners and decides to drive home.

well, I was trying to keep it ambiguous 3rd person… I like how Pete got singled for the funny last name, that one might apply to all 3 of us.

At the movies:
Oh, you’re the guy who pays $15 for popcorn and a coke…

Your that guys that promoted stereotypes…

The only reason I go to the movies these days is for the popcorn. I think we’ve been about 3 times in the past 2 years.

You’re the guy who drove past a driveway that I was standing in, and looked at a certain type of government vehicle, but didn’t notice me in the blue suit standing a few metres behind it.
October 11th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
True. But I didn’t know they let you out of the car yet…
October 11th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
I’m surprised they let me out of the building!

You’re that stay at home mum that fills my Facebook homepage with status updates, game bits and pieces, and all the rest…
October 12th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
That’s what the ‘hide’ function in Facebook is there for…
October 27th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
I would just like to say that I’m not that stay at home mum…
