Every morning when Peter arrives at the office where he works he says "hello Mary" to the receptionist and she in turn says "don't even bother Peter". Peter never knows what she is talking about. He is not interested in her. He doesn't wan a date. He's just saying hello. He thinks her odd.
Peter is not the type of man to be judgmental. He does not think more highly of himself than others. But he does label people. For example, Mary.
Mary: Beautiful but odd. Does not like being said 'Hi' to. Likes cats. Hates me.
This is the categorical rubric that Peter uses for most people.
Or another example, Rob from accounting.
Rob: Loud. Funny to some people. Lives with Mother and Father. Potential villain.
Why villain? well, that's just how Peter's mind works. When he was small, a child, he loved comic books and the plot lines of good versus evil. Since then he has not been able to shake the idea that there are villains out there. And in turn heros as well. Maybe not super heros, but just heros.
Peter Pajowski, just a normal guy. Just the guy who works in cubicle 4B and who wears very common clothes.
