Are you "Random"?

    If there's one thing that annoys me about people it's that they try so hard to be 'different' so they created this thing where they do silly things and call it 'random'. It absolutely does my head in, fair enough you want to do something silly but do you need to keep labelling yourself as 'random'? Some people will probably think I'm just being ridiculous, but it annoys the fcuking sh!te out of me!!

    So for my sanity.. Does anyone else find this annoying?

    Just randomly swing your fists in his face. That will sort the fúcker out.

    i don't consider myself like most people i know so i would think im pretty random but i know exactly the point your making, if someone just ran off down the street and took their clothes off and jumped into the river i'd call that pretty random, something i wouldn't do unless on hallucigenics

    someone needs a chillpill ;)

    can't afford a damn dictionary in this recession we are having!

    a person who always comes up with random things nobody else thinks of usualy? or a person who always does mad things or changes topic all of a sudden and starts talking about something strange/weird.

    It's a phrase used excessively by students these days I've noticed...

    It's overuse is rather irritating.

    What ever happened to good old 'eccentric weirdos'?

    Whenever I hear someone say "That's so random", I randomly choose a random word at random from my dictionary (published by Random House btw). For each letter in the randomly selected word, I will punch them in a random body part anywhere between the chin and the forehead.

    "Random" people are so damn cool they don't need to learn what "spontaneous" means.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    Yeah that word gets overused way too much I find. I would like to be "random" in a serious chaotic insane way rather than an annoying attention seeking twat way. I'm not though.

    I'm with the OP on this one. I hate it when people try too hard at life. They want to be an individual, to be different, to stand out. Well they certainly stand out alright........... for being a pr*ck.


    I have no problem if someone is naturally a little quirky but when people feel they have to be different and make an effort at it, that's a no no. Just quit it and get on with enjoying life.

    Ah here the whole idea of calling someone eccentric is so you don't have to call them weird to their face. Putting them together make no sense.

    "Quirky" Phoebe was my least favourite Friend. I hate people who try to be different for the sake of it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,487 ✭✭✭boneless


    I'm just usually referred to as "the dirty old man in the corner." Is that random?

    I am not random.

    I am bitter, resentful and jaded however. I hate everything and the only thing that helps is a large amount of alcohol, which of course assists in being bitter, resentful and jaded the next day.

    I personally hate happy, optimistic and settled people.

    True. 'I have no evolved personality of my own, so please enjoy my cultivated wackiness and randomness'.

    You forgot to write 'imo' at the end of your sentence, followed quickly by another full stop.

    I think some people are missing the point.. I'm all for eccentricity, hell I'm as spontaneous as they come.. But I don't make a point of it, saying "Hey everybody, I just farted in his face, thats SOOOOO random" thats what bugs me, I'm not being ridiculous really, I just like to fart in peoples faces and not say a word.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 255 ✭✭baglady


    well so sorry. i'll be sure to write imo the next time. imo of course.

    lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,235 ✭✭✭Dave147


    Also, would you mind using capital letters when you start a new sentence too? That would just be super, thanks :) I'm so random.

    *gently because I know you're only saying it in jest.
