Users on Quora site were asked about their opinion about people who treat restaurant staff badly. Most of the respondents said they pay close attention to how other people interact with waiters.

Even the top executives of big companies say you can learn a lot about someone based on the way he/she treats waiters, hotel maids and security guards. Ron Shaich, CEO of Panera Bread, says he once rejected someone for a job partly because she was nice to him but rude to someone cleaning the tables nearby.
2. Your handwriting style

Countless studies indicate that the way someone writes and the shape and size of their handwriting can tell many things about the person. One research conducted by the National Pen Company revealed that persons with small handwriting tend to be shy, highly detailed, studious and curious while people with large handwriting tend to be outgoing and like to be the center of attention.
More pressure on the pen when writing shows that the person takes things seriously while light-handed writers are typically empathetic and more sensitive.
3. The colours you choose to wear

Eyes are the mirror of the soul. They can tell a lot about you, what youre thinking and feeling, even if you are either loyal or insincere. You may hide your deepest feelings in places no one would find, but by looking you at the eyes, they might have a glimpse of their hidden feelings.
According to studies, people with blue eyes are less agreeable and more likely to be alcoholics than people with darker eyes. A lack of steady eye contact would reveal a lack of self-control and weak will.
8. Phone-checking habit

As for what it might mean if youre constantly refreshing your email or Facebook feed, one study found you may be less emotionally stable and trying to boost your mood.

Its common sense. How early or late you show up for an appointment or a meeting will instantly form an impression, either negative or positive, about your personality. Being late for an important appointment means you are creating peoples a negative impression about who you are while being early for an appointment means you are considerate and respectful about other peoples time and are both mentally organized and self-motivated.
10. Your handshake

A strong and confident character are indicated in a strong handshake. Such people are more likely to be extroverted (but not always), expressive, hard to hide their emotions and less likely to be calm.
On the other hand, people with weak handshakes have judged the lack of confidence and tend to want the easy way out of a challenge. Offering a handshake could indicate you are a friendly person instead of standoffish.
These judgement at the first encounter, or so-called first impressions, are often hard to be changed. Thats why you might want to have certain stable qualities like honesty, kindness and intelligence, as they do appear in your overall appearance.
Though sometimes appearance can be deceive, paying attention to these things may even help you evaluate if you will want to pursue an intimate relationship with this person or not. Of course, further exploration is needed in giving you a clearer vision to give you a clearer vision.
