Mmm-kay. I promise to try and make the best judgement call in context of any given situation. Hey, guess what - I already do it - like - all the time. That's pretty much how a brain works...

Sure. This one time someone approached me on the sidewalk in an unfamiliar neighborhood and wanted to be my friend. Then the person repeatedly prompted me to confirm our friendship, while explaining that there are a lot of shady characters around the area. Understandably I told them what they wanted to hear, then quickly got the f*** outta there... As I was leaving I think I heard them mutter something about "lagit people".

If you say so. Sounds more like the draw-back of paranoia, combined with some questionable social skills, if you ask me...
