Weirdos

    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.

    What's the point of being 'normal'

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

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    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?

    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.

    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!!
