    I hate people who think they're random and "kraaazy" - think they're deadly for watching Spongebob Squarepants, breaking silences by saying "haha cheese...", calling a pet stick Jim or Bob, wearing odd socks etc. They annoy me greatly.
    Everyone watches Spongebob, cheese isn't funny, your stick sucks and no one cares about your damn socks!

    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.
    Agreed! People use it waaaay too much. do often think ..what did these people use for descriptions before the use of the word 'random' became so prevailant? Anyway, no I'm not random. I just like balloons

    Ok it's as simple as this, you turned what was a lighthearted discussion and a laugh into a serious thing about hatred, I do not HATE* these people, I do HATE* the labelling of themselves as random, it annoys me. That's my business.
    Yeah I said I agree with you about that but saw no point
    If you give me a reason to talk to you as a contemporary then I will, but you seem to keep missing my point, and it's getting ever more frustrating to explain it when you wont listen and are too busy trying to portray me as something I'm not!
    What's all this ...if you give me a reason sh1t.What you are trying to do there is talk down to me and I'm not missing your point:your point is you hate* people who act/label themselves random.You are the one with the agenda .Show me were I haven't listened (apart from stop posting) ,And I already said that I thought you were a nice bloke so stop saying I am trying to portray you as something you are not.I just cannot see the point to it all.
    So you've tried to turn a thread about 'random' into hatred of the jews.. Well done. This thread is doing me a bit of good, I've enjoyed most of the responses and I also feel quite liberated.
    I really didn't try that at all, it was in referance to HATE and I how really don't see the point in hating someone for being a particaular way when there are much bigger things out there to HATE
    *my use of the word hate is free flowing, if I say I hate something, don't take it so literal. I may just really dislike it..
    Fair enough .

    Stop with all the crap saying I find it hard to take you seriously ,you are not listening and all that other BS .Or if I havent show me.

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?

    The discussion was about the usage of the word 'random'. I think this is the third time I'm going to have to say this.. I don't HATE these people. I HATE THE WAY THEY LABEL EVERYTHING THEY DO AS RANDOM. And judging by this thread alot of people agree with me. Some don't, but I'm sure other things annoy them that I wont understand.

    I have issues, wouldn't call them serious though.

    Now, I wasn't trying to talk down to you, maybe I come off a bit condescending but I argue in this manner all the time, it's nothing personal - so apologies if I offended you. You see if you *really* got my point entirely then there wouldn't be an argument. I posted this in After Hours due to the lighthearted nature intended.

    Maybe if people roll dice every time they want to do something they'd deserve the title of "random". But until that happens, we'll just have to insert forks about 3/8s of an inch into their eyes.

    I thought Harvey Dent was random until I saw the Dark Knight and
    one of the coins he uses has the same thing on both sides.
    :eek:

    I like your fork idea. Should we pick the eye at random for irony's sake?

    Actually, isn't it weird how all this "randomness" seems somewhat...regulated? Like watching cartoons, especially Spongebob. Or saying certain words, like Banana, spoon, monkey, cheese? Who decided all these "random" words that the "random" people had to say in order to be "random"?

    electrobitch hit it on the head, it's completely regulated randomness. That's what bugs me about people who claim it as a 'unique' personality trait- anyone I've known who has to go out of their way to be 'random' is usually making up for the fact that they're cripplingly unoriginal.

    Only now you're getting into internet meme/4chan territory.

    The way in which a 'random' person utilises these things is to throw them in your face repeatedly as if it was the most hilarious thing they'd ever heard, a year or so after they've been done to death by the rest of the internet (see: chuck norris, all your base).

    Edit: I really like the term 'plandom'.

    I have a theory about these people: they are social retards and deal with awkward situations by spontaneoulsy shouting predetermined random words like "rubber chicken" or "i like pie" to conceal their lack of social skills. I had a mate who admitted he used this technique to break the awkward silences on first dates and to get the girl to laugh at the same time. (laughing AT him being such a tool, no doubht)

    So these people are NOT cool and are just overly self-concious teenagers with little self-esteem who resort to making fools of themselves for acceptance.

    I'm submitting my thesis next week

    Just so I'm clear, Spongebob still rocks doesn't he? Even if his name and image has been appropriated for nefarious purposes?

    I do actually really enjoy watching Spongebob. But before it became 'wacky' or 'random' to like it. Some episodes are def geared towards an adult audience. There's jokes in there that a child wouldn't understand. Off topic a bit sorry.

    I think the Z indicates excitement.
    It speeds up the OMG.

    These fakers are giving genuinely logically challenged people like me a bad name.

    I don't like spongebob....I love heman reruns though....thems was the days.
