If someone carries a gun and they have a normal low-threat job and live in a normal low-threat suburb: wow, that person lives in a fantasy world, and is just looking for an excuse to hurt someone. What an absolute loser.

Hm. Cop uniforms. I ~~accurately appraise~~ judge them to likely be problematic in all kinds of ways that might threaten my safety and certainly that of others
If they have a good opinion of me I know they're a poor judge of character.
Grunt style shirt
Always on a short or fat dude
I dunno why but short and fat (and consequentially insecure ) men love those shirts

Any kind of of bumper sticker collection on the trunk(boot) lid.
One sticker with a snarky or clever saying is fine, but I do instantly judge anyone with a collage as a tacky person with poor taste and no sense of boundaries.
It matters not if I tend to agree with the advertised messages, it’s just a huge red flag to me.

If someone has a good quality bicycle that they actually use: you got your shit together!
Hats. Fucking hat people think they are better than me just because they cover their head?!
I don’t think I’m better than you for wearing a hat, I’m bald and a sunburn on your scalp is a mother fucker, I think I’m better than you for other reasons entirely.

Someone normal looking wearing clothing that references a nerdy hobby/interest: this person is self-confident enough to not be afraid to admit to having a nerdy side.
If someone seems extremely socially awkward and is wearing that kind of clothing it's different. But if it's someone who looks like a soccer mom but she's wearing a Critical Role tee shirt, she's cool. Or if it's a guy who looks like a construction worker with an Anime character: nice one, dude.
There's a LOT of things. Those are mostly shallow and me being a bad person though. I really judge people when they have super Christian clothing with tiny pieces of random supposedly important Bible verses. Those "don't tread on me" stickers. Really tacky shit in general. I wear a really obnoxious Goku/Vegeta hoodie sometimes, to make sure that the shallowest people will avoid me. I'm a hypocrite lol
"Oh awesome, nice Tool shirt. What's your favorite track?"
Oh, I've never listened to them
