personality traits

Had some friends over not too long ago...we sprawled out on the couch and floor, talking, laughing. I had a pretty good time...it was nice. Realized something the next morning: when the girl got up to leave, she picked up the throw pillows she had been using, put them back where they came from, and straightened the floor rug she had been lying on. When the guy got up to leave, he...

...got up and left.

It's kind of an interesting game to play in your head when you are hanging out with friends at someone's house...watch to see who straightens cushions when they get up, and who leaves the couch rumpled, blankets unfolded, pillows lying about. You can learn a lot about people just by watching their unconscious actions when they are in a casual group. Who takes their glasses out the sink? Who leaves things lying about? Who offers to bring something back from the kitchen for others, and who just goes out, gets what they want, and comes back? Which ones relax and kick back, which ones sit carefully and take care not to mess anything up? Which ones help themselves, which ones ask before taking anything from the fridge?

I love people watching...
