52	'''Some tropes I have observed in real life:'''
53
54	* AllLowercaseLetters - I know people who do this in their emails.
55	* {{Arcadia}} - When I was a McGill student, I found an Arcadia in the middle of downtown Montreal, in the form of the McGill campus and the music building steps. Odd, I know.
56	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking - I saw a comment on a forum that said, "Stealing, lying, and wearing socks with sandals are all downright wrong."
57	* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter - Although I haven't actually seen this trope firsthand, I read a magazine article about this trope. A teenage girl had many problems, including drug problems, but decided to clean up her life when she had a baby.
58	* BeautifulDreamer - A friend of mine posted a picture on Facebook of her boyfriend sleeping, and commented that it was cute.
59	* BigFriendlyDog - I've known some.
60	* BigFun - I'm sure we've all known a few of these good people.
61	* BigShutUp - My mom does this.
62	* CatsAreMean - Actually, I'm a cat owner and cat lover, and most of the cats I've met have been wonderful creatures. But one time, there was an evil black cat in my yard. Most cats I find outside run away when I come towards them, but this black one hissed at me whenever I went near it, and looked like it was about to attack. I had to chase it away with an umbrella.
63	* DeusExMachina - One time, I had to bring a big heavy contrabass clarinet from the music store to school. I had no idea how I'd bring it there. Suddenly, my teacher appeared in the store and offered to drive me to school with the instrument.
64	* DontExplainTheJoke
65	* {{Gasshole}} - Unfortunately, I've had to sit next to one in long rehearsals. It was not pleasant at all.
66	* GettingCrapPastTheRadar - I found a package of rolls in a store. Twice on the package, there was the phrase "master bakers."
67	* IAmTheNoun - A friend of mine once declared, "I am Bulgarian music!"
68	* INeedAFreakingDrink
69	* InsufferableGenius - I've known a few, unfortunately.
70	* IntelligibleUnintelligible - I get this effect from a guy in my class. The class is in French, and I can usually understand it, but this one classmate talks so fast I can't understand him. Much of the rest of the class, being native French speakers, can always understand him.
71	* InVinoVeritas
72	* MarySue - I know someone who [[strike:seems to be]] is one.
73	* MassiveNumberedSiblings - I know a girl who has five sisters.
74	* MathematiciansAnswer - A conductor told me I was playing out of tune. I said "Am I sharp or flat?" and he said "yes."
75	* OrwellianEditor - A moderator on a forum I'm a member of was like this. Thankfully, she hasn't been around the forum in a while.
76	* PermaStubble
77	* RichInDollarsPoorInSense - I know of someone that this trope describes well.
78	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter - I've owned some.
79	* RougeAnglesOfSatin - One of the more annoying tropes that I've seen in real life, my particular pet peeves being "lose" spelled as "loose," "defiantly" used when "definitely" is meant, "flare" instead of "flair," and "peak" instead of "peek."
80	* ShlubbAndKlumpEnglish - A writer for a local paper here uses this kind of language, often using malapropisms.
81	* SmallNameBigEgo - I've encountered composers who are like this. Not all composers are like this, though.
82	* SleepCute - I've seen a photo of two of my friends that could qualify as this.
83	* TinMan - I had a teacher who claimed he had no heart, but I have evidence to the contrary.
84	* TomDickMyNameIsHarry - My father does this.
