Stereotyping. We all do it. I for example tend to think, that all clippers are substantially more crazy than regular folks. Hmm... I'm not even sure this is stereotyping actually. It's more of a fact, I reckon!

Define "regular folks"
Everyone has a different stereotype for "normal"
I know and admit that I am eccentric.
