If you seen a boardsie in real life

Conservatory

I was sitting on the bus today on boards and it dawned on me.

What if somebody sitting behind me sees that I’m conservatory the person who thinks ghosting is funny or that his BMI is impeccable and whose immune system is robust and slapped me in the back of the head for something I said that I don’t even remember that offended them.

So I hid my phone a bit with my hand like a secret agent. You will never get me.

Have you ever came close to being found out. Would they beat you?

What have you done that you think might get you a slap in real life?

Would you judge somebody in real life from their boards account or give them a chance if they were in a job interview and you noticed from their printing cv font that they were that ahole who didn’t like the dress you put up in the fashion and appearance section.

What are your thoughts on all this.

To be honest I wouldn't know who Conservatory was.

I would only be surprised if I saw a username I recognised. And they have to post a lot for me to remember them: which probably means they never leave the house.

I don't care?

We have portable personal computers now that can also take phone calls.

I saw you Conservatory, and from that sniffle I could tell that your immune system is nowhere near as robust as you have been leading us to believe. You big liar.

I've seen a Boardsie on a dating app, does that count?

I think he's foxy AF, he's totally my type, but I don't think he uses the app anymore.

Tempted to tell him on here that I saw him on it, but well, that's getting into stalker territory an I don't want him thinking I'm a creep, even though I am.

He'd so get it though.

I understand at that point the only options are hari-kari or a fight to the death right?

Wait.
You see where this whole thread falls down is the premise that life on boards.ie isn’t real life.

I’m very real, I mean I clicked the box that says “I’m not a robot” and I selected all the photos with road signs. What do you guys want !

Not buying that any more, I’ve already sent them to four Nigerian princes and it’s done nothing but cost me money, aparantly transferring the $10million into my account is going to cost me quite a bit, but I’m hoping it will work out in the end.

Why would anyone be looking at whatever **** you're on when they're too busy looking at their own phone

The grass is always greener as they say. You are board sitting in your sitting room watching the match. You go outside. You see the fella across the road from you is watching the match on his Telly. Suddenly the match looks like something you want to watch.

It’s human nature

Some live under bridges apparently and are hairy bestial creatures. It is rumoured they only venture out in search of wifi.

This thread has reminded me that people I engage with on here are real.....

I don’t feel super about myself after this moment of clarity.....

Do we actually have our own driving sticker? I’ll be looking out for that now:D

James 007

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.

I walked into my best friends house and her dad addressed me by my boards name. I didn’t mind, her dads lovely.

I recognise a boardsie when I see one. They're 30ish, some are balding, with dark unkempt hair and a hipstery beard. They wear slogan or superhero t-shirts (yet have no 6 pack underneath) and they work in IT.

Fair enough the archtypical MALE boardsie.

Now all we need is the other "Bigbagof...." to state HER description for the archetypical FEMALE boardsie.

Boom_Bap

I seen a boardsie at a bus stop the weekend before last.


I've also met a few and been stalked by a few (the nice type of stalking).
I've worked with some and played football with some.


Grand bunch so yiz are.




I was also at a party one time when someone brought up the subject of boards and my missus loudly states that I'm an Admin on boards...the bleedin looks I got. I then corrected and said I was a mod.....the bleedin looks got more daggerish.

I then had to explain to the missus about the social faux pas that she landed me in and to never mention it ever again.

There's surely more male boardsies than female boardsies? Maybe 60:40.

Ok stereotypical female boardsie. She dresses alternatively and is overweight but describes herself as curvy.

I've never met a Boardsie in "the wild". I don't believe they exist - this site is really a multi-faceted Turing test.

Two of my best friends are boardsies

Beasty

There are probably getting on for fifty Boardsies who often refer to my by my username in real life! Hundreds more use my real name

Never met a Boardsie in 'real life', but the idea of it wouldn't bother me. Any Boardsie meetings in Cork coming up?

I have only praise for the Donegal boardsies who gave much needed practical help in the winter of snow when I was stranded in the mountains with no fuel.

Ireland and the world needs more like them...

At these times, boards.ie can be a lifeline

That is so lovely to hear.
Was Backwards Man one?

Ave Sodalis

I've met a few Boardsies when I was in college. Most of them were organised meet ups. A few were random moments of "hey, aren't you sup dude?" (as I was known back then). To which my usual reply was to act like a deer caught in headlights, stammer something that may either confirm or deny the fact, before slinking into the shadows, ne'er to be seen again...
