Alien behaviour

    There's a guy in work that, every day, pops into the tea station, fills a plastic cup of water with boiling water and gulps it back.

    Another time, at a work lunch, a guy ordered the calamari, when it arrived he threw the slice of lemon straight in his mouth and chewed away on it.

    These two just remind me of what an alien, who was trying to fit in and got it slightly wrong, would do.

    Have you noticed other 'people' doing things slightly off that fit the above description?

    I'd have more chance of finding common ground with an alien than a middle aged Irish/English woman.

    Spawn of Satan, they are.

    Calamari is alien to us common 5/8s.

    Holding hands to exchange long protein strands is a definite sign.

    Well. There once was a wee man called Señor Fancy Pants. The other day Señor Fancy Pants brought me to a drive thru McDonalds. I had a caramel sundae. He had chips. He told me to take one of his chips and dip it into my caramel sundae. So I did.

    It's. Bleedin'. Delish.

    This isn't about boring things.

    Anyway, I warm up really quickly when walking and it's not unknown for me to walk home in the freezing cold in a T-shirt.

    Get some strange looks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    All of my t-shirts have shrunk and now when I wear them people shout at me cos they think I'm wearing a tank-top, but I like my t-shirts and I won't stop wearing them.

    If the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body, and the right side of your brain controls the left side of your body, then left-handed people must be the only ones in their right minds

    Please tell me that's not a euphemism.

    Recently, I was leaving work on my bike when I noticed somebody walking up the driveway to one of the other factories. It was raining and windy, and this lad was wearing a t-shirt, even though he was carrying a jacket.

    I was freezing!

    Boiling water(slightly cooled) is excellent for people with digestive problems, when I was preggie could not take meds and dr told me to take cooled boiled water every day

    There's this free vending machine thing at work that serves you little cups of whatever you want tea, coffee, juice, water etc. Anyway, one option is hot water for some reason, and it's a very common request when I do the drinks round.

    Aye, with the water charges coming in, you'll find that on the rise. People will be bringing in a bar of soap and having a quick wash at the desk.

    I know these 'people' who send their 4-year-old to an education camp, for a number of hours, five days out of every seven.

    Bizarre.

    A guy I work with pulls his pants down to take a pee at the urinal. He stands there with his trousers round his knees and his big hairy arse out for all to see. He's in his late 30s, is married with kids, and seems to be a perfectly functional member of society. Apart from this completely bizarre bathroom ritual.
