Facial Abnormalities

fakearms123 · 05-09-2008 11:55am #1

I hope this isn't just me but I find myself staring at a person's facial abnormality when talking to him/her. And it doesn't have to be something very severe or very noticable, just like a mole, boil, spot, wart, etc on someones face tends to draw my attention when talking to them up close.
Please tell me I'm not the only one. Always seems to remind me of Austin Powers, "moley moley moley"!

I remember when I was on the bus the other day there was this old women who sat beside me with huge warts all over her face and the thickest white moustache i have ever seen! Lets just say it was difficult not to stare. I notice that a lot of eldery women have this, i mean did they have those warts all their lives or did it just magically appear when they hit 65 and got their pension?

Also I remember this girl from the Gaeltacht who had what looked like a rice krispie on her eyelid, we never mentioned it but everyone seemed to concentrate on it while talking to her. I know that there is exceptions such as Robert DeNiro and Christian Bale who seem to pull it off.

That's rude, you should really stop.

Rayven199 · 05-09-2008 11:58am

I do the same! Cant help it! The rice crispie one seems to be common enough!

I had a friend in school who looked like she had a burnt rice crispie on her chin, when talking to her that was what i focused on, couldnt help myself!

Kinda funny though

Lol! I think I'm reasonably normal in that dept...

Anyhoo, that post wasn't intended to be taken seriously, I do it all the time myself...well actually I TRY not to do it, so then I'm trying to look anywhere except at the "offending item" and then it becomes pretty obvious that I'm trying not to stare, so they KNOW...:eek:

And if I do look at the person, my eyes will wander to the said "offending item" anyhoo, SO THEY KNOW. :eek: So really....it's a no-win situation.

You should satisfy your curiosity by poking the offending abnormality. A reasonable person will understand and you can both carry on with your lives.

why would you touch it?! thats just nasty, and with no results!. my recommendation; go upto them with a stanley knife and just say; "okay, this has been bothering me for a while, itl only take two seconds"

Maybe it's caused by some idiot turning on the Hydron Collider?

I have quite a few moles. They are not raised though. I have a line of them that runs from my ear, down my jaw, to my chin. The don't really stand out and are currently hidden by my beard anyways.

In school ( seconday ) in first year one of the year bullies used to take great joy in poking fun at them and me in general. Various humourous names were thrown about. I left it go at the time, i had some trouble in primary school and promised various people i would behave in my new school with these new people.

Anyways, after about 4 months of trying to be nice and biting my tongue the guy eventually made the mistake of jabbing his finger into my face.

So i nutted him square in the nose, resulting in a small facial abnormality for him.

In short, don't touch.

There used to be a girl who came into my workplace all the time who was completely crosseyed.I mean her eyes used to meet in the middle.
The issue wasnt whether or not to stare it was what to look at when you were talking to her.Eventually we decided to concentrate on the tip of her nose and that seemed to do the trick.

Oh no! There's a guy at my local cinema who does that, and I always end up getting served by him! I didn't realise he was cross eyed at first, so I thought he was being really rude one day when he asked "how can I help you?" and he appeared to be looking at the person behind me. I was like, "I'm right HERE!" Ooops.

Thus rendering you cross-eyed also. Good man, expressing solidarity and all that!

I had a small bump under my nose due to blood clotting, it was not very noticable but I got it removed a few years ago, very simple procedure, they just burnt it off, took a total of 2 minutes and then its gone for life. I dont understand why people dont just do that

Cause they save a fortune in foam-latex at Halloween over the course of their lifetime...

chin_grin · 05-09-2008 12:21pm

I do that all the time. It's fun talking to a boss-eyed person. Is he looking over here, is he looking directly at me. Can he see two versions of reality split down the middle. Oh, I don't know!

Can't help it. Tis human nature to be curious. Not polite.

What's wrong with Christian Bale's face??

Apart from being abnormally perfect?

Ok, I'm a dude and I wholeheartedly agree with this post! Bale da man. Not afraid to admit that. Even if he does like beating his mother and sister as a result of their imperfect facial abnormalities.

Well the fact that my own moles would be under the skin, not raised and breaking it, would mean a more invasive and expensive procedure.

Also, some small facial scaring and i am just too pretty for that.

Besides, i don't care about them one way or another, ladies seem to think they give me character or something.

It's just people touching me without my consent the gets my goat. :pac:

He has a small growth near his eye on the bridge if his nose, but i agree with his perfection, that hunky Christian Bale can gargle my balls any day

I don't understand why anyone would focus on such a tiny imperfection.
I like the differences that make a person an individual.
Moles, scars etc are hot on sexy people.

Anyone remember seeing the vid of this guy getting p!ssed off about people commenting on his posts with just "moley moley moley"?

http://www.youtube.com/user/RayTheFox

Seems to have taken the vid down. Aw.

(PS: I'm not a subscriber, he's a pain in the ar$e)!

There is a guy who drinks occasionally in my local and he thinks he is Nick f*cking Cave or something. Thing is, he has a big mole on his cheek the size of an old 1 punt coin. Terrible looking thing altogether. Don't understand why he hasn't had the damn thing removed tbh.

Dun laoire · 05-09-2008 1:14pm

When the aul secretary got a new delf it was a bastard not to look. Big fukin things like a bloody horse for christ sake and she spitting and everything when she talked.

pookie82 · 05-09-2008 1:36pm

Ya i only noticed that during the last movie but it pales in oblivion when compared to his otherwise godlike appearance.

pablomakaveli · 05-09-2008 1:54pm

iv a massive black eye at the moment. i had to go into work yesterday and it was annoying having everyone ask what had happened:(

however it was funny when i went to serve the customers and seeing their reactions especially as i was so polite to them which shocked them more.:D

fakearms123 · 05-09-2008 2:17pm

whats the name of the lead singer of Motorhead? just remembered seeing a photo of him in a magazine, the size of those warts!

fakearms123 · 20-07-2010 12:59pm

I think I should revive this topic, i dont know why it got so little feedback from people, was it not interesting?

It's rude to treat people with afflictions differently. You should have just stared at her tits like you would any normal girl.

You'd think a fella with fake arms would be more accepting of flaws.

well i guess im lucky that I dont have arms on my face cause then it would fit into the topic of facial abnormalities.. :cool:

I wouldn't mind having a mole. Anything to distract people from the fact that I'm ugly.

Terry · 20-07-2010 7:35pm

Not to sound condescending, but you get over this as you get older.

Ha.
I've a cut at the top of my forehead and the middle of my fingers are also cut. It looks like I was in a fight too.
What actually happened was I was scraping old tile adhesive off a wall (and scraped my hands off the rough wall), then I stood up and hit my head off the corner of a shelf.
This is why I no longer work in the tiling trade. I'm far too clumsy.

Are you female?
If so, I'd probably do you.

There used to be this crosseyed guy working in the chipper beside the nightclub in a village near my home town. It was impossible to get served in there, because every time he asked you 'were you alright' you thought he was asking the person next to you.

Everybody just roared at him and hoped for the best.
