I was in McDonalds yesterday for a Mocha Frappe.  Got to tell you, McDonalds has done very well with their new coffee bar.  Better than average coffee at a good price and a nice selection at that.  Plus those new frappes are crack.  I highly suggest checking it out.

But as soon as I entered I saw a kid, probably about 20 or 21 years old that just made me cringe.  The guy was in line playing a PSP.  Nothing wrong with that, though I do get irritated with those kinds of people who are too involved in their device, be in gaming, cellphone, ipod, etc. that they become oblivious to the rest of the world and forget to move forward with the line.  This guy was decked out in just a little too much gaming clothing and accessories.  He had a baseball cap with a NES controllers all over it, and "Old School" NES t-shirt, and..... wrist bands.  One again had the NES controller on it, while another had a 1-up mushroom on it.

Simply put, he looked like a jackass.  

To make matters worse this guy looked like the classic stereotypical gamer.  Skinny, thick glasses, beard that just wouldn't grow in right.  I just wanted to slap the silly bastard and yell, "all things in moderation you douchebag!"  I suppose he deserves a little credit for getting out of his parents' basement right?

I'm not against people showing who they are, but why go out of your way to look like a walking billboard for the gamer stereotype?  I'm sure a lot of people won't agree with me, but if you're not able to dress yourself in a way that suggests you're in your right state of mind I'd rather you not identify yourself with something that is also a part of who I am.
