I mean, none of us can know the future one way or the other.
Hence I usually don't have my characters act like shitheads to someone unprovoked until I have a basic grasp of their RP and who they are OOC. If you do that stuff to strangers godmodding can happen, hurt feelings OOC, etc. That's a risk some people are willing to take which is great, but it's not my cup of tea.
