People look at me strange

atkin

I am white Irish age 57 look normal.I wonder why do some people usually men look at me strange.
The only explanation is that I wear a black hat when its wet.I use a bicycle so I do not like to get my head wet.What is wrong with wearing a hat ??
I wonder can I put this down to discrimination.

You're looking at them too if you know that they're looking at you.

So it balances out.

This thread is most certainly useless without pictures. How can we possibly tell you why you look strange if we don't know what you look like?

I'm willing to bet it's the flesh colored crossbar on the bicycle that really shouldn't be there!

(though more likely it's because you call a balaclava a "hat"!)

Try wearing clothes as well as the hat

A man wearing a balaclava riding his bike would attract a lot of attention

It's because your strange looking.

Maybe it's the chain danging from your nose and not the hat that draws the attention .

What kind of hat do you wear? My dad wears a black hat. Coupled with his work suit he looks gangsta.

In the old days (when most of you were in short pants) there was an area in London to see them.

My father has always worn a fedora for as long as I can remember, he is hitting 70 this year, people look at him strange but I think he looks cool. Nevermind them.

I don't think it's always paranoia, well OP could be paranoid but that doesn't mean it's not happening. And OP how do you know you look "normal" you might look like the back of a minibus under a certain light.

EDIT: didn't see the picture! no reason for anybody to look at you strange OP, You're not ugly. I mean you're not that young so you shouldn't really care. What I will say though is if you were a colour you'd be a grey, kinda bland

sfwcork

You look like you just murdered someone

Next time they look at you strange, whip out your Jolly Roger and see if they like that.

No need to thank me for such sound advice.:;)
