Weirdo warning signs

somefeen

What little things do people look out for to know that someones going to turn out to be a weirdo?

For me its

1. Doesn't like tea/coffee
2. Thinks most people are pricks

If someone displays either of those characteristics I'm instantly wary of them.

cruais

General rocking back and forth, chanting in an unknown language. ..

DoYouEvenLift

Is fat and/or smelly.

- when they look on the floor when you/they speak
- yes, when they don't drink tea!
- when they smile at you (and without blinking )every time they catch your line of sight
- when they don't like cinema popcorn :P

those awful academics who speak fluent Japanese/ancient Greek/hieroglyphics etc and studied quantum physics just for the craic, any man or woman who gets someone else to change the wheel on their car because they "never had to do it before and wouldn't know what to do". People who have written their own book just to say they did and have a blog where they put all that happens them and their family on a daily basis.

these type of people are hiding away from reality and are not to be trusted:pac:

Whatever happened to Teddy anyway?

I also have a deep mistrust of people who don't know all the words to 'Hold On' by Wilson Philips

Staring constantly at you, with dead eyes, in conversation.

I know this fella...infamous weirdo round my area.. and his eyeballs never move when you're talking to him or he's talking to you.
It's chilling.
He also has murdery looking teeth.

Soccer bores, i.e. people who assume that everyone in the entire world shares their obsession.

Applies to some other sports also but soccer bores are the worst.

A girl asked me not too long ago if I was "totes emotes". I'm 28, I shouldn't be spoken to in such a manner. Btw she was 26. What's wrong with people these days??

It sounds like he's on crack.. The teeth, the pool ball eyes, definitely on something anyway.

The opposite, not being able to hold even the slightest eye contact, is also a major warning sign.

Nekarsulm

Wearing tweed hats, made from a patchwork of different tweeds. Will often sport an array of badges /pins in their jacket lapel. Will usually engage you in a conversation about religion or the morals of young ones. ...

i dont like tea/coffee....and most people ARE pricks.

Annasopra

I think people who think its weird not to like or coffee are weirdos.

KungPao

Weirdos are way more interesting than the normals.

Nothing to be afraid of...unless they like to cut people up.

Give me "a character" any day, over a 'Conor O' Something Irish' who works in an office, has a pretty enough wife (but you probably wouldn't...), a couple of kids and a reasonable car.

I think people who think its weird for people to think its weird that people don't like coffee are weird.

I've a friend like that, he stayed with me and the ex and I thought he was going to try it on with her, then after an afternoon of him staring at me I thought he was going to try it on with me :eek:
He did very well with women though

Hypnotist?

People who call the guards when your 12 yr old labrador wanders into their garden.
Neighbours who stop talking to you because you're friendly with owner of said 12 yr old dog.

ardle1

Anyone who confuses 'FaceBook' status with their 'actual life live as we speak what you had for breakfast status'.

Da Jimmy

It's in their eyes! You just know, can't explain it.

AngryHippie

The ould weirdos are great craic !

Its still a good idea to have a deadbolt fitted and know some basic ass-whoopin moves though, just in case you encounter one of the bad weirdos.

Number two is true. Knowing it means I am never disappointed with people.


For me, its people who tell ya their life story within minutes of meeting them. Those people tend to be c,unts.

sharkfox

I think it's scientifically proven that people with their locks shaved above their ears are weird... Especially if it goes along with a mullet

I cuddle a teddy every night my husband agrees with you.

I've ticked at least 4 things on this thread

Ah a bit weird is a great thing. I find it a very attractive trait actually. It's when people go from weird to total headcases you need to worry.

Although if I met someone with no friends at all I would find that very odd.

And unless there are major financial restraints or they have to care for a parent or something, anyone over the age of 30 still living at home, especially if they've never lived anywhere else independently, is also a bit strange.
