2. You look absolutely feral when caught off guard by flash photography.

3. Your behavior is unpredictable, and you could become unexpectedly aggressive at any moment.

4. You are a mostly solitary creature, but sometimes you band together with gender-specific social groups, because it’s the only way you’ll survive.

5. Your appearance in stark daylight is alarming, and prompts calls to public safety.

7. People get upset when you come into a restaurant with your family, because your mere presence is a disturbance and they think they’re going to have to fumigate the place once you leave.

9. Those whiskers are getting pretty long.

10. And you very obviously don’t shave your legs, but nobody really expects that from you anyway. To be honest, everything is looking a little hairy and untamed.
