I think it's me. seriously I'll be at a bar or whatever just standing there and someone near me will just start walking backwards(usually while talking to someone) and I see it coming. I'll just hold out my hand and try to get the attention of whom ever I am with to show them the BS that is about to happen. and sure enough, WAMMY! right into me.

You should tape some thumb tacks onto your shirt so they poke themselves.. maybe that'll teach em!

Not just you it happens to me all the time. Usually somebody with a shopping cart though. Just happened on the weekend as a matter of fact. Woman stops and backs up 3 steps right into me, panics and shoves back forward and creamed some kid with the cart. Kid's mother was pissed and I thought there was going to be a brawl right there in Wal Mart (and you know how rare that happens).

chances of conflict go up 1 Billion % if either party is wearing clothing with an alcohol or tobacco company on it.

What if it is only alcohol or tobacco stains?
Would explain a lot.

Cars that have headlight timers. You know, the option that doesn't allow the headlights to be turned on during daylight hours, like when it's foggy or raining. Yea those headlight timers really grind my gears.

Because they understand the substantial difference between sociopath and psychopath. Hey they both start with s and end in path so must be the same thing right?

Oh god I have done that! Or more accurately, tried to do that. That noise, dear lord, that noise.

I believe the statistic is 1 in 25 are sociopaths. Know 100 people? Four of them are sociopaths. Even in Canada!

The statistics for psycopaths are a little murky though, anywhere from 1 in 75 to 1 in 200. Unlike mainstream TV, most psycopaths aren't necessarily violent.

This is also using the criminal definition of psycopathy, not the clinical definition, which overlaps greatly with sociopathy.

There are times that I would strongly believe on here the stats for both are far greater than the norm!

There are quite a few engineers on here, and engineers tend to be introverted. Which falls under the antisocial aspects of sociopathy. I wouldn't be surprised if many are borderline sociopathic. I probably am :P
