Weirdos

Wheety

What everyday scenario marks out a weirdo to you?

For me it's when someone sits on that single seat on Dublin Bus, the one in the wheelchair area, when the bus is busy and every one else is standing.

Bonus weirdo points if they're facing the window. I don't mean just looking out the window but actually sitting in that direction with their back to everyone else.

I had never given it much thought but I actually fully agree with your first post.

Weirdos by Wheety. I misread this as Wheetos and I got needlessly excited. Damn you weird Wheety.

I sign of a weirdo to me is someone who is fascinated with where people sit on a bus.

I tend to feel that anyone that supports any of the political parties are a bit odd, although FF supporters really stand out.

When you say " bonus weirdo points" , is it possible to cash them in or is this something in your imagination?

Stop focusing on who I find weird and start posting some of your own :mad:

As you get older, you appreciate the "weirdos" more. The people who go against the crowd and do their own thing.

That's who we should all aspire to be. Conforming to the crowd or going along with things for fear of standing out, is boring. Doing something you don't like because you don't want to be laughed at? That's weird.

Well said CoH.

Anyone that uses a bus at all, is weird to me.

You know when you're walking along and you see someone in the distance who you either haven't seen in ages, or you used to work with or whatever, the natural order is to go "Ah be Jaysus look who it is" and then proceed to do a long catchup chat which you spend most of the time trying to awkwardly but tactfully extricate yourself from.....


Yeah, I can't be doing with that. Cross the road, eyes on the phone, *whistling*

When there are loads of empty double seats on a bus and someone sits beside you then they're obviously a weirdo.

My 19 year old German housemate who wants to spend a month in a Buddhist temple in Tasmania meditating in silence to and i qoute "find his spirituality" when I asked if he would like to come travelling through Asia with a group of us in January.

I found that incredibly weird for someone so young. Fine if you want to do it later in life after some turmoil or stresses but at 19.... really!!

Lately, a strange car pulled into a remote forest walk that only I frequent, thus blocking my exit, and my immediate response was to turn in and sprint headlong through the plantation of pines, bent over at ninety degrees, burst through a tangle of briars on the edge of the woods, negotiate a barbed wire fence at speed, jump over a wide drain, clamber up and then down a high bank to arrive out on the road, covered from head to toe in dead branches and leaves, only for my neighbour to come upon me in his new car, out looking for a lost sheep. :cool:

Another thing for my neighbours to add to the lengthening list of 'Dear God, but that one is weird'...

People that walk straight at you and then look at you like you are in their way.

YOU are in MY way!!!

Do the awkward shuffle like a normal person, weirdo!!!

If they did then it follows that they wouldn't be weird.
Maybe I'm over thinking it....

I agree with you to a point.....and that point is masturbating on public transport

Yes, but they haven't done it yet, and so they're still a weirdo.


Also, those cnuts who you find staring at you as you are walking past them, or on public transport, or a cafe etc.

Spiritual vampires! No doubt they think they're "people watching". They need a kick to the neck.

Or people that hold doors for you when you're 20 feet away making you walk faster. You inconvenienced me, not helped me!!

So... so... much anger directed at strangers. Perfectly normal not weird at all. ; )

You're one of these people, aren't you.

A wierdo is a rather odd and awkward lady at work who tries it on with quite a few of the lads at work and does it in exactly the same way. She comes over sits on their desk and drapes her arm over their monitor and asks what they did over the weekend and if they went anywhere did they do it alone, with friends or a girlfriend. A very sad individual.

Yeah there was a story on the radio about a girl who was the only person downstairs, an old man gets on sits down next to her and starts sniffing her hair. She said it was the longest journey from that point on.

Being a weirdo is so much more fun & less stressful, than trying to be what society or the town wants me to be. I have tried to hide away my weirdoness for years but it doesn't make a different people are still talking behind by back. So while they are busy talking & laughing I have decided I am much happier and more comfortable being my weirdo self, so out shes coming and out to stay.

I am a weirdo & becoming every proud of it:D! Long live the weirdos!

That’s me alright. Dunno why but I always do it. I think people in work found it kind of endearing first. Now they think I’m just nuts.

I also can’t walk through a door in front of a woman. If there was a f**king starving grizzly bear coming for me and a woman and we needed to get though a door to be safe, I’d stop and hold the door for her. Again, it’s not always universally appreciated.
