*gently because I know you're only saying it in jest.

Not too gentle I hope :P

Yeah I'm done saying random now. I think I got my point across quite eloquently!

@baglady, much appreciated.

Well then I'm going to hazard a guess that you're 35+ thats the only way you wouldn't have heard all these attention seeking twats. I already said I wasn't going to say that word anymore, but it's just one of those things that grinds my gears..

By the way, you're better off not knowing what the **** I'm talking about!

Lazer Smart

People who label themselves as "random" are usually the least "random" people by their own definition. They're the people at parties wearing the lamp shade on their heads - "Look at me im so random".

Some replies to this thread shows just how rampant this stupid self view is.

bealbocht

I'm 35+, and wondering is this some kind of , what used to be "non-conformist".

It was/is a safe bet that, the people who consider themselves non conformist, wear the same clothes as all their friends, and have the same opinions as their friends, and, have low opinions of people who dont agree with them, which given time, is a acutally a form of "consertiveism", granted not in a Tory right wing way.. but just as bad when they get going..

or is the OP just talking about stupit people who do stupit things to get noticed.

Naos

Spot on Lazer and Beal, spot on.

'Random' people irritate me due to their 'in-your-face-i'm-really-happy-and-living-life-to-the-full' attitude, when in reality they are probably the less comfortable in their own skin than others and feel the need to be 'out there' in order to cover up these insecurities.

I never thought I was random,but people kept saying I was.

I have a wild imagination, I am never bored and I feel sorry for people with begrudging posts about people who enjoy being a certain way.They are the people so uncomfortable in their own skin they have to criticise others.

At most you sounds spontaneous... or wild and wacky... thats not random...

The people who you called uncomfortable in their own skins are the people who are happy in their own skins... I agree totally with their comments about the idiots out there who intentionally go and seek attention by saying... look at me im totally random.. and do stupid things like eating bread with washing up liquid...

We are not giving out about spontaneous, wild or wacky or anything of the sort.. those fun loving people are great... its the people who are attention seekers and are assh0les as a result that are the problem...

So I suppose Smelly Cat was just a fictional song then? Well how would I know the words 'Hoss? How would I know the words?

FICTIONAL!

But I had to get my polarity joke in there.

Wait do metal pins in your leg count as a metal endoskeleton? Cos then it's true!

If there's one thing that annoys me about people it's that they try so hard to be 'different' so they created this thing where they do silly things and call it 'random'. It absolutely does my head in, fair enough you want to do something silly but do you need to keep labelling yourself as 'random'? Some people will probably think I'm just being ridiculous, but it annoys the fcuking sh!te out of me!!

So for my sanity.. Does anyone else find this annoying?

hahaha:D hate these people!

They aren't even random ,it's predictable that they will do it ,really boring. like who can't do that.I love randomness though.I love the mighty boosh and I love some people for being so endearing at doing random things(then you know they are not in it for attention).I think everybody has moments of randomness and it is a word used way to often to express individuality ,when it is not.

Randomness is a lack of order, purpose, cause, or predictability

If someone is always "random" they in turn make themselves predictable and in turn is not random any more.But i still love randomness.But it being used for the sake of being random and not funny or amusing is boring and annoying.

How can something with a lack of purpose or cause be used for the sake of anything, funny or otherwise?

This thread has a lack of purpose or cause and it is turning out like all of the other "random " threads in AH which can be amusing.

I am a flake. People percieve me as randomn.
It isn't an act, the insides of my head just work differently than most others.

Crumble Froo

it's funny, i see that most in teenagers, i suppose still kinda trying to figure out who they are, and well... it can get annoying. funny, at that age, i was a bit of an oddball, trying desperately to be 'normal' and not fitting in at all.. figured it out later just to be me, and people could take me or leave me, but watching some of the kids that do the whole 'random' thing, and it's like they're trying to fit in by doing the complete opposite of me... and kinda failing at it too...

When will you robots learn that not everything can be explained by dictionaries and neural net processors, learning computers?
