Tell me what, I'll tell you who you are

What's the first thing you look at when you go in someone's place for the first time?

[BeBMan]

If there's beer in the fridge....nah, seriously, I dunno - I doubt I look always for anything special first.

[Pekka]

If they're a girl, possible sex toys like a dildo or sexy theme costumes.

If a guy, their fridge for possible things to eat/drink and their DVD collection.

[Fake Boris]

I usually wouldn't look in the fridge if I go somewhere for the first time.

Honestly, I look at the person's books/library. And her ass if she's a chick.

[Eli]

Books. If there are any.

[Pekka]

You guys are just fooling yourselves. If you look the books, as in you're supposed to figure out what the person is like from that.. that's just crap. Most of the times, the books can be there because the parents bought them, relatives and whatnot, and the person didn't want to throw them away. Or some classics, because he heard 'they are classics'.

I'd rather look at the DVD collection, because people buy their own DVDs and throw the crappy ones out. THat's the true soul of the person. And CDs.. what kind of music they are into and stuff like that. Maybe if they order a magazine, what magazine is that etc.. food, what they eat, what they have on their walls, what kind of shoes they have, you quickly notice if the person is any kind of professional, no nice shoes? No nice profession. Also no class. One pair of shoes? Spends his money in the peeping tom show.

I look at the entertainment system, what kind of TV, what kind of consoles, what kind of computer.. it's always a good topic, plus I can spot idiots if they have like the PS3, I know they are Sony nuthuggers and prolly not very bright.

CHeck out the bathroom, is it clean, how is the toilet, is that one clean, what kind of products they use..

[Spec]

Nothing.

Seriously....

Well, maybe a place to sit...

Spec.

[Meticulous Man]

Books. If there are any.

[Fake Boris]

It's usually easy to see why the books are there...

Besides, I didn't say "look at the books to know who the person is". I said "tell me what you look at so that we know who you are".

[Cort Haus]

Bloody hell Pekka, give 'em a chance.

Maybe they keep their shoes in a cupboard in the bedroom, not spread out in the living room.

[Pekka]

You said you'd tell me who I am. Still waiting.

I think Pekka has answered your question quite thoroughly.

Personally, I like to see what the view through their window is like.

Why would I ruin in a second the quest of your life?

Cort Haus, oh that's true. My friends mostly live in crap areas, so I never really bother, but that's what I do when I enter a new office. Check out the view... yeahh...
