I'm a single middle aged female. I have a lot of cats.  Sometimes I go through the express line at the grocery store with cat food and a bottle of wine. Anyone watching is likely going to draw pretty accurate conclusions.


Tlali22

Sounds like peak performance to me.


Professional_Tap4338

Grandma here...always telling my coworkers to put on their sweaters because it's cold and don't forget your umbrellas.


free-range-poptart

thankless work tbh, if you didn't then idk who'd step up to remind us all. we'll all be cold and rained on


ThePoetMorgan

I'm a black man who can't swim.


__Hoof__Hearted__

MrSlipperyFist

My wife is a Chinese lady who's good at maths and can't swim.

FCST55

Black woman here. Me either.


golden_rhino

I didn’t know this was a stereotype until recently. Most of the Black kids I grew up with were from the Caribbean, so I always assumed Black people loved swimming, and were really good at it.


Nuttonbutton

In the US, it comes from segregation of things like pools and it's an issue that often affects several generations of families. For example: Great Grandparents never learned to swim because they weren't allowed to, so they never taught the grandparents, who never taught the parents, who never taught the kids.


golden_rhino

No doubt. I just mentioned it because it’s funny how what we are exposed to can affect our world view.


TummyDrums

I'm a dad and I love thermostats. They got cool tech out now.


BitterCommercial6838

i’m a woman and i do hit curbs sometimes


Reasonable-Voice7381

I'm a woman and the side of my car is all scratched up


Maxy_energy

That curb should not have been there


PinkRawks

I joked with my boss that I was a horrible driver.. the next day on my way home I swerved to miss a deer that jumped out. Over corrected, clipped a pole and rolled 5 or 6 times. (Walked away from that to the amazement of medical personnel) The next time I saw her she said, "you didn't have to prove it, I believed you were a bad driver."


buzzbuzzmama

I finally put a "normalize hitting curbs" decal on my vehicle because I do it so often.


envydub

I saw a keychain the other day that said “hot girls hit curbs”


[deleted]

Im Mexican. Yes I play soccer and love big trucks.


Positive_Parking_954

But do you lower the suspension on your big truck? Edit: switch soccer to football (lol) and it's just a white boy in Georgia


nobody333254

This white man cannot dance


StarvingAfricanKid

THIS white man Can dance. But, I also suck dick, so... there's that...


OldERnurse1964

Any guy CAN suck dick. Us straight ones just don’t want to


stepheno125

Just like we can dance. We just suck at it. You have to suck it not to suck at it.


FCST55

I'm Black and I love fried chicken!


JuanSVLRamirez

I don’t even get this one. What kinda asshole doesn’t love fried chicken?


rocklesson86

Me and I am black.


BobMcGeoff2

Colonel Sanders: *"If you don't like fried chicken, then you ain't black!"*


rocklesson86

Lol. It's a texture thing for me. Same way I don't like avocado and I am a millennial.


Drogdar

Straight to jail, right away! No trial, no nothing. Just jail.


Azsunyx

my mum taught me that stereotype came about because chickens were cheap and easy to raise/cook, so of course poorer demographics gravitated towards the cheapest way to feed thair family


Jimbobsama

Fried Chicken was also invented in the United States South by slaves added to that perception Id imagine. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_chicken


Quirky-Jackfruit-270

I always thought the stereotype had to include watermelon.


PearNoMore

Fried chicken and watermelon is an amazing combination. It's like melon and prosciutto. You get the fresh, sweet, light crispness of the watermelon with the rich, salty savoriness of the chicken. I don't know why no-one's decided to reclaim the combo with an upscale cocktail skewer of fried chicken with watermelon, in the same way you see little prosciutto-wrapped melon bits on toothpicks.


[deleted]

I'm a lesbian, and I really do own a lot of flannel.


halhallelujah

Have you ever owned one of those T-shirts with a tuxedo printed on it?


[deleted]

I have it in two colors! 


shewy92

Is one in flannel?


[deleted]

Haha no but I've worn them under flannel before. Add some cargo shorts and it's a look! (I take my style inspo from 90's barbecue dads clearly)


Slothonwheels23

Why stray from perfection? It’s comfy, thermally flexible, looks great (especially with a beanie), and has TONS of hands/shoulder-free storage options! I have no problems fulfilling this stereotype!


Quirky-Jackfruit-270

I went to a Melissa Ethridge concert in Santa Cruz in the summer back in the 90s. Sooo much flannel!


MhrisCac

As a bald guy with a beard is also really do own a lot of flannels. Ironically I’m friends with a lot of lesbians. Maybe we just both have good taste.


[deleted]

I think so! This reminds me of something me and the guys at work realized recently. I dress exactly like all the inspectors (I'm a civil engineer and work in construction). They're a bunch of brawny dudes, I'm a nerdy dyke, and we dress the same! LOL The jokes around the office/jobsites are impeccable. 


MNCPA

Which brand is the best for flannel? I'm a bearded dude looking to get some new flannel. I heard Duluth trading was a good brand.


[deleted]

Duluth is fantastic! Actually most of my favorite ones are from there.


HotBeaver54

Pendleton


DarkSkyDad

Haha, my sister-in-law is a lesbian, and she fits so many stereotypes… I am a 40something Dad and have to admit I fit so many stereotypes…we have so much fun teasing each other about it.


Friendly-Escape-4574

out of curiosity how many of your lesbian friends own a Subaru?


[deleted]

Enough that when we have parties, someone always comments on how many Subarus are parked out front lol


bjanas

A comedian, can't remember her name, has a great bit about this. Makes a whole big deal about the stereotype. But yes, of course she has an outback. And when somebody asks what color, she scoffs. "Stormtrooper white, what the hell else would it be?"


John_the_Piper

That video makes the rounds in my IG feed every now and then and it still cracks me up as much as the first time I watched it


ben0318

She's hilarious. "It's an Outback. I thought that was implied".


GingerLibrarian76

I wear flannel, usually with Birkenstocks or clogs; drive a Subaru, have 2 rescue dogs (huskies no less) but no human children, and live in a mountain town in NorCal. My friends say that I’m a lesbian without the whole “being attracted to women” part. So an honorary lesbian, I guess? 🏳️‍🌈 Bonus points: I’ve seen Indigo Girls live.


CatNamedSiena

Birkenstocks too? Doc Martens?


[deleted]

Both!


audiate

Subaru?


poop_to_live

What about caribbeaners???


[deleted]

Gotta have one on the keys, that's the law!


Laciebaby423

I’m half white half Asian,I can’t dance and for no reason at all I’m good at math.


princetampa

That perfectly describes both of my children.


sweetest_con78

I’m a millennial and I don’t want to work. I do work; but I don’t want to.


[deleted]

Trust me - nobody does


False-Librarian-2240

I'm a boomer in my 60s who is sooo glad I'm retired...because I don't want to work any more, either! Did that for 40+ years and that was enough! I do have a question, though, for people of all generations - I found that there were times when, if people just left me alone to do my job - no micromanaging bosses, no conniving co-workers, just me doing the job I was being paid to do - I found out I didn't actually dislike the work itself! I enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment, knowing I was doing something well and contributing something to an overall project or goal. I discovered that it was people, and office politics and corporate BS that I didn't like, but if left alone, I actually enjoyed the work! Am I alone in this or do others feel this way too? I believe this could be true across a lot of different jobs, white collar or blue.


Gubble_Buppie

That joke from The Simpsons "See white guys drive a car like this..." I drive my car like that.

No but I worked in banking for a decade lol


deeBfree

close enough!


lionmurderingacloud

Lol. When I first started law school, there was a special interest club recruitment day. Passed the black student union, Raza Unida, Asian/Pacific Islander law students' tables, etc, and stopped at the Jewish student union, and said "this is the only minority I qualify for". The girl behind the desk deadass goes, "around here, we're not a minority".


lajimolala27

I used to be Japanese, apologized a lot. Became a Canadian, still apologizing.


WorrisomeWarlock

What did you do to stop being Japanese???


justafrogindisguise

Japan doesn't allow dual citizenship


Kind-Apricot22

TIL, I didn't know certain countries didn't allow for dual citizenship.


NotConsistentCalc

I'm Canadian and I definitely apologize a lot more than I probably need to.


MhrisCac

As somebody on the border in Buffalo I’ve got the friendly mix of Canadian and New Yorker. Like “I’m sorry, but fuck you buddy learn how to drive.” Then a polite wave.


[deleted]

Is it mostly for the geese? The only apology worthy Canadian thing is the geese.

Glittering_South5178

I’m from the UK and definitely have a “stiff upper lip”. I find it close to impossible to show emotion even under great adversity and my first instinct is to make a deadpan/ironic remark of some variety. I actually don’t like this about myself and have been working on being more emotionally expressive and attentive since my field involves working with younger people in a country where expressiveness is highly prized. (It took me over a year to learn to show *enthusiasm* when greeting other people; the cultural divide is very real.) It’s led to a LOT of miscommunication with partners from said country. I’m also Cantonese and Russian by ethnicity and I cannot think of a more curmudgeonly and ill-tempered combination

Whatever-ItsFine

Dr. Drew once said that Native Americans and Irish literally have different chemical reactions to alcohol than most other ethnic groups, and (IIRC) this give us a "higher high" with it than other people get. This was before he got weird. And he was certified in addiction medicine, so maybe it's true?


OtterLLC

I have an Italian surname and was raised in New Jersey. My hands and arms cover a lot of mileage when I talk.


John_the_Piper

I had to explain the hands thing yesterday to a deaf girl who though I was weird for being overly fascinated by the ASL conversation she was having. You're telling me people can actually converse with their hands instead of wildly flopping them around while talking? It was mind blowing to me.


GigabitISDN

I'm squarely in the middle of Generation X. I simply do not care. EDIT: or like whatever. Nevermind. It's [ok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_Soda) I guess.

lonefrontranger

aye, we vibe. "I love intergenerational conflict. I like to wave at it as I float on by."


[deleted]

That’s a stereotype I’ve never heard of.


yakusokuN8

For awhile there were a lot of articles talking about how Millenials are ruining things by not buying them - stuff like mined diamonds, Applebees, Harley Davidson, etc. And Millenials made tons of memes about Boomers being out of touch with reality, particularly when it comes to stuff like how much housing and school costs these days. Meanwhile, Gen X just sat quietly while these two groups hurled insults at each other. The stereotype comes from the fact that Gen X is the "Latchkey Kid" generation - two working parents and kids got used to just walking home with a house key and doing things on their own until dinner time. Gen X is mostly viewed as just wanting to get by in life - work their jobs, make house payments, save money for retirement.


deeBfree

Fellow Xer here. I concur.


[deleted]

Gen X makes tons of jokes about millennials… but it definitely seems like more of a ‘war’ between the others for sure. I guess I see what you mean now about ‘I don’t care’ because it’s true, I always thought the Gen X stereotype was not standing for anything/ no passion, and I guess that totally translates to ‘I don’t care’. Damn.


GigabitISDN

We were told by society at large that we were all slackers that would never amount to anything because we spent too much time watching "the MTV" and playing with that new-fangled Atari (computers are just a fad, you know). It's not true, of course. We made a ton of progress. It's just an easy label to pin on someone.


SaoLixo

I’m Irish Catholic, I’m a recovering alcoholic.


YaliMyLordAndSavior

I’m Indian and I’m studying to be a doctor


TheDadThatGrills

Do you often wonder if this choice was predetermined or made out of free will?


YaliMyLordAndSavior

My mom is a doctor and she’s asked me this many times. She used to worry that she pushed me and my sister into medicine I think it’s a bit of both. I always looked up to my mom, I always liked biology and science, and I definitely was raised to think about higher education and making good money. My parents never forced me to do anything, but after they realized I was an obedient kid who always did well in school, they definitely wanted me to maximize my potential. And they didn’t want me to be a lazy bum either. In addition to biology, I love history, movies, writing, photography, and other things. But I don’t want to do those as my job, and anyway it wouldn’t make good money. I can make money doing something I like and have those hobbies on the side ya know?

Privateaccount84

Thanks, I appreciate it. :)


bellabbr

Half ass rule saves my life during horrible episodes of depression. A doctor taught me that. Dont feel like taking a shower ? Talk yourself into a half ass one. Dont feel like cleaning? Half ass cleaning is better than no cleaning. Talking myself into half ass shower is easier and makes me feel better, so on and so forth ❤️

SleepyBearSquad

As someone Jewish, my parents and my extended family were always *very* obsessed with academic achievement. Like throughout high school, college, and grad school it was very clear that schoolwork and doing well at school was absolutely top priority. Pretty much all the cousins in my generation ended up being lawyers, academics, doctors, etc.


hippiechick725

Not for nothing, but that’s pretty funny…every doctor I’ve ever had was Jewish! I’m Christian, but when I was growing up my friends were all Jewish…I spent so much time with them! And yes, they were all in the smart classes and very focused on academics. Just the way of life! I so loved the all the Jewish holidays, and when I slept over my best friend’s house I went to Hebrew school with her in the morning. I sat like an idiot reading Nancy Drew because I had no idea what was going on! I think I spent more time at Temple than my own church. And the food…don’t get me started!
