Me: *sitting in a psychology class*
Stranger in my course: *sits next to me*
Teacher: *begins class by droning on about how certain facts about our lives are always visible*
Teacher: *drones on for a little bit longer about things everyone watching Sherlock already knows*
Teacher: And now your task is to look at the person next to you and tell them one fact they didn't tell you verbally.
Stranger: *looks at me* Ahem... I have no idea what to do. You start.
Me: *looking at him*
Me: You're left-handed. You smoke. You would like to have a tattoo but can't decide if you really should go through with that idea. You probably worry about what your girlfriend will say.

Stranger: ..... How?
Me: Well, everything is lying on the left side of you, which is typical for a left-handed person and annoys me a little bit because your things keep pushing my things, which are lying on my right side, all over the place. I'm right-handed, by the way. I thought I smelled a little bit of cigarette smoke when you sat down next to me but I wasn't sure at first. The yellow stains on your fingers made it obvious, though. Your screensaver of your phone is the drawing of a tattoo. I saw it briefly when you checked the time shortly after arriving here. But the background of your phone is a photograph of your girlfriend hugging you, which I saw as you checked your messages. And I'm guessing that she isn't too fond of tattoos because of your wistful look at the drawing. Might be wrong but it's my best guess.

Stranger: .... um... yeah. Correct.
Me: You should tell her how important that tattoo would be. Most girls I know like blokes with tats, they think it's sexy.
Stranger: .... um... yeah. Good idea.
