Who is the most f*cked up person you know that behaves 'normally'/unsuspecting?

jeanjolie · 09-07-2017 05:00PM #1

Junkies, drug addicts, homeless, or people with mental illnesses excluded seeing as a large amount of them cannot function normally even if superficially.

Was watching Crime & Investigation/YouTube documentaries and a lot of these serial killers, terrorists, mass murders are known to pretty much everyone in their circle as absolute assholes but otherwise, they function normally until they start killing people.

Doesn't even have to be someone who's committed murder as that's not as common in Ireland but someone who expresses the ideation of murder, terrorism, harming others, outlandish conspiracy theories, racism, sexism, etc.. To a high degree not just bigotry.

It's unlikely you'll know anyone that's posted!

If they're behaving normally, how are you meant to know?

Wanderer2010 · 09-07-2017 05:06PM

My cousins boss. He puts on the charm for all the clients, smiles and winks as nice as you like but under the mask he is a horrible bully who talks down to his staff, screams at them over the phone and basically demands they work all hours of the day. She has been reduced to tears on 3 occasions. I felt like going in there and ripping this c*unt apart, he wouldn't know how to cope with a man who stands up to him. Bullying in the workplace is such a crime that you actually should be able to report bullying bosses to the Gardaí.

Very common personality especially in hospitality, pubs, hotels etc.
Kind of a presidential candidate, all nice words and smiles to customers then round a corner and screaming abuse at staff.

Know a few like that with their families too...all perfect parent and spouse on FB and the like but behind the scenes you see the bruises, hear about the abuse, see the damage wrought on all those close to them as the years roll on...ugh... One of them in particular is the perfect candidate for this thread.

This guy I knew in college a bit, he was always a bit weird sitting there talking to himself. He told stories with ****ing relish about how he'd murdered animals, put his cat in the washing machine, cut his rabbits neck, etc. Loved telling those stories, never been so glad to never have to see someone since.

Gremlinertia · 09-07-2017 07:15PM

Yer man from the corrs?
I nearly fall into this category but mental illness apparently excludes me, winning!

razorblunt · 09-07-2017 08:57PM

Donald Trump at the minute, in a serious way, there'll be books written about him as soon as he's gone. That submissive handshake to Putin was the latest act.

Taylor Swift is another one, like an alien trying to act normal.

That's terrible, everyone knows cats are supposed to be drycleaned...

There was a young lad that lived near me that looked like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. I'd known him (to see) since he had been about ten. Then one day I read in the local paper that he had attacked a young woman. He had pulled down her trousers and tried to rape her but couldn't. He then beat her so severely that he permanently damaged either her eye or her ear, I forget which. He was only in his early twenties.

B.A._Baracus · 09-07-2017 11:38PM

Used to do a sport with a Scottish guy. Now he was cocky and a dick but otherwise seemingly normal.

Later got done for child porn on his computer.

there seems to be a recurring theme in a lot of these cases where a woman involved,be it the mother or partner,(or family as you say too) will aggressively deny the victim's story and side with their partner, the accused.

Worked with a guy who had no discernible personality whatsoever. He never spoke of his own experiences, just rehashed stuff from the telly or online articles that he read and tried to start conversation with that. He was also contradictory all the time. Whatever you said, you just knew he would disagree and say the opposite, though he would rarely be able to back it up. He did it just for the sake of doing it. He seems to wear people out very quickly. I've known him for a few years and quickly grew tired of him. Don't see him as much since I left that job but I see him out and about and its always with different people and he always seems to be someone who is clinging onto the group and wouldn't be missed if he wasn't there. I've heard from other people that work/worked at that place that he alienates pretty much everyone new there though he's in a more senior position so he's not going anywhere. The boss is aware of this but loves him because he asks no questions and does all the dirty work.

I wouldn't speculate on his exact mental health, though I have my ideas. I do know he has a massive drinking problem and he's a power-tripping workaholic. He isn't exactly normal, per se, but he's made a decent living for himself.

Knew a guy in uni, seemed perfectly fine if a bit persistent. Never really liked him but I can't claim I had vibes or 'knew' there was something off about him.

A few years ago he was sent down for a good few years, he'd raped and tried to kill a girl and left her with life changing injuries. It was an horrific crime. Loads of people claimed they 'knew' something was wrong about him after it happened, but oddly enough nobody said anything at the time.

I worked with David Bourke who killed his wife for a few years.

seemed quiet polite and unassuming only weirdness was he worked in a department with people in their 20s and he was older which was weird in a non manager capacity.

in fairness that is one woman's biased view based on her own experience with no real evidence. I am sure that there are far more female partners who would be totally unaware of abuse within their family. I certainly would never look at any members of my family and think " better keep a close eye on him, might be a peado".

I'm sure if you google those type of cases then the majority would fall into the woman supporting kids category.

I'm not gonna look myself cos it would warp my mind to read numerous cases of child abuse within a family but knock yourself out if you want to prove me wrong.

Despite lots of experience in life which tells me I am wrong i still cling to the belief that people are generally good, they will do the right thing, make the moral choice etc, even if only for the ones they love and not society in general.

In fairness, you can't do anything about people you get a bad vibe off until they actually do something.

Brendan O Donnell used to be around here a good bit as he had cousins in the area, seemed all right to talk to although you wouldn't cross him as he had a bit of a temper but nobody though he was capable of killing 3 people and was ready to kill more only he was caught in time.

I don't mean nobody did anything, just it was the usual 'I knew there was something off about him' after the event.

People just claiming they were so perceptive they saw something wrong with him, when the reality is there were plenty more far odder. If they were that struck by something him, they would surely have mentioned it to someone at the time.

Who is the most f*cked up person you know that behaves 'normally'/unsuspecting?
