I have once he was a young guy and had that whole wanna be gangster look going, from the car he drove to the clothes he wore, then after we started talking I realized what an *** I was he was one of the nicest most polite intelligent young men I ever met.
It made me realize as I aged I started to treat the younger generation as I had been treated. Really opened my eyes that day.
Reminds me of what people tell me after they get to know me. I'm 26 6'4 240 pound with 00 stretched ears and I guess a "rocker" look, but people think I'm crazy when they first meet me because of the way I look. Then they realize I'm not a crazy and just a big softy lol. Most people that meet me don't know I have to wear my shirt and tie to work as a regional project manager throughout the week.
A week after I moved into my new house my 63 year old neighbor wouldn't even talk to me or say hi. Now after we have talked and got to know each other we are great pals and he even invites the wife and me over for dinner all the time.
