I don't have time for fun! It's my final project for my social psychology class. I'm going to present each photo and have the class guess, show the compiled guesses from here, and then reveal the actual answer.

Sleep debt is usually paid in full after a day or two.
FUN ALL THE THINGS.
I don't have sleep debt, I have burnout. I'm tired of fucking GOING all the time. Especially for other people. I just want to relax.
The idea of a clean house and ONE FUCKING DAY AT HOME where nobody demands anything of me and I don't have any deadlines or anywhere I have to be is all I want.

As a rule, some people will have a problem with this.

I don't, either, but I no longer trust my car enough to drive it 45 minutes outside of town, and I don't have the time to take a day or two off anyway.

What IS there one can't do? Tons of sunshine, pretty animals to contemplate and pet, some plants you can EAT. And there's that pretty girl in the oasis waving at me you know?

S'OK, as long as it doesn't get too long for me to dig the answers out on Sunday. :)
Sunday is SO FAR AWAY :cry:

I might do it before then if I don't have more pressing homework. I love that this is something I get to do for "homework" though. :lol:
Well, all aside what i commented you, its interesting how some very subtle details of elections of appearance, and even in some cases consequences in appearance derived from a lifestyle, give hints as to what someone is and/or does... a type of non-verbal and very subtle communication.
I'm sure all of us have two things about us: things that people recurrently think that we are/do that we aren't, and things that people can infer correctly just from small things like posture, clothing, body complexion, etc, etc

Thank you for playing!
Poor, poor number 6. People wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but....
It explains the V neck and the chain. :lol:
Everybody has way better jobs than I guessed, which says something about the job market I've become habituated to.
Except 6. Porn store clerk and supermarket grunt slopping the hungry Honey Boo Boos are pretty similar. Giving myself half a point. :lulz:

I will mention those options to him, in case he hasn't thought of them.
I got 2 right. :lulz:
I got one right, but it was an unfair advantage because I know him.
I presented it today, they loved it. :)
Awesome. :D
I also recused myself for knowing someone. Interesting work!

I feel like I should explain my decision to name them all teachers (two were right, by the way).
I saw the first photo and I thought TEACHER. Then teacher was in my head. So I saw the second and third and I thought TEACHERS. As I scrolled down rather than making the leap of thought to create a profession for them, I found myself rationalizing what kinds of teachers they could be.

Hmmm I can see doing that. And the odds are, if you make one broad guess at 15 people, a couple will be accurate.
I didn't use yours for that reason, but if you'd been more specific about what kind of teachers I might have.
Poor porno store clerk.
Are you showing them the answers we gave, too?

Yes! The slideshow went image, ask them to guess, show them your guesses, show them the image again with the actual occupation. It was fun.

The students.
I also shared your guesses with most of the subjects, they enjoyed that quite a lot.
