So many crazies on FB.

RonanP77 · 31-03-2015 5:15pm #1

I'm constantly seeing stuff my mates/family/acquaintances on Facebook share about how crazy they are. They'll tag their friends as being crazy too. These are very normal and in some cases fairly boring people. There's nothing crazy about them at all.

Two things from this,

1. When did being crazy/different become so trendy?

2. If everyone is crazy, does that not make crazy normal?

Two people I work with a very fond of telling people how crazy they are, I see it with one of them as covering up issues or insecurities they have. The other one announced to me a few minutes after meeting for the first time that they were "mad" I asked how and he looked confused, I asked what he had done that makes him so mad, crazy and different. The answer I got was "I'm just maaad"

I'm normal, probably a bit boring at times (as evidenced by this thread) and have no desire to be seen as crazy.

Are these the same people that are employed as " Full-time Mad Bastards" ?

Half of them are, the other half are "full time mummies."

Anyone who self discribes themselves as mad bastards are usually just annoying w'antards.

anncoates · 31-03-2015 5:29pm

I've a lot of that on my feed too.

"Here's me and the friends I've had since I was ten, in the bar we've been going to since we were 16, drinking the same pints we always get. And it's Saturday. We're mad!"

"Here's me pulling a ker-azy face in a photo, just putting it up on FB for all to see, #lol #crazy #IDGAF. I mean I spent an hour on my make-up and took ten pictures before I landed on the right balance between 'pulling a face' and 'still looking prettier than I do in the flesh' but please think I'm crazy and spontaneous"

I am going to put a sign up at work.

You don't have to be crazy to work here. In fact if you are crazy piss off. Work somewhere else.

Every so often I do a cull on Facebook and put the noisiest ***** on ignore. Problem solved.

The amount of girls i know that have that exact persona on FB but are as boring as **** in real life.Its usually the quiet ones that turn out the craziest on a night out or whatever.

OneArt · 31-03-2015 5:41pm

If they were truly mad they'd be TEFL teachers.

darkpagandeath · 31-03-2015 5:48pm

Don't you know it's hip to be Kooky and geeky now. You know showing how individual you are by telling people what film/music you like that other people made. Telling everyone you don't follow trends while having YT, Twitter, blog.

I once heard a presenter describe the Top 20 as " really random" even though it counted down from 20 directly based on the amount of singles that were sold.

What I find more and more irritating is randomers using gaming language/phrases, I'm a gamer we invented the language over time.

Oh no my friend, you haven't seen kooky "individualistic" w@nkers until you've used ello. Every user on there thinks they are the zenith of creativity when I'd wager the majority of them are coffee shop workers by day and frustrated "artists" by night....some random bios...

2. If everyone is crazy, does that not make crazy normal?

I'm sure you weren't intending to start a political discussion, but I've been saying this for years. Designating everybody as having some kind of psychological issue which needs to be changed has resulted in "normal" comprising the extreme minority of people. In other words, the only people who are considered "normal" by the establishment's standards are in fact unbelievable weirdos altogether.

Thankfully I had the good sense to never open an account with Muppetbook. So I've spared myself from such annoyances.

They're so mad they've even time to stop the madness for a quick photo so they can prove to every just how spontaneous and mad they are.

You can get voluntary redundancy from full time mad bastard.

I used to be one myself. I then applied for the University of Life, but they turned me down.
