    How many people in the world have you met?

    An introduction, hello, giving a public talk, retail browse, telephone inquiry, workmates, customers, social group, holidays, family, new members of the family, religious services.

    For me I think it's only in the hundreds of thousands, maybe just short of 200,000 if I'm lucky.

    Only want to meet people I like. Makes about 80% of the world a waste.

    How many of that 200,000 did you shag OP?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,128 ✭✭✭✭aaronjumper


    No idea. More than 300? It's never been something that I've though about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,623 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    I'd imagine meeting a hundred thousand people would be unlikely for most. =/ Depends on what you mean by 'meet' though I suppose. To me meeting means being introduced to and/or introducing yourself to a person. Walking past them on a busy street isn't a meeting!

    I seriously doubt that I've met anywhere near that amount, or even either directly or indirectly interacted with them.

    I've been working part time in a call center for the last 5 years (while studying etc).
    I was only recently wondering how many different people I've spoken to over the years. Its got to be a fair whack of the country at this stage!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,316 ✭✭✭darlett


    Does meeting people online count?

    What if Im looking in their window at the time? [These Androids are great yokes]

    I hold the Guinness book of records title for shaking hands with the most people in a 1 hour period. It stands at 3,498 so technically I've met those people. If you add that to the other 4 people I met, that adds up to 3502. Do I win???
