    A girl asked me not too long ago if I was "totes emotes". I'm 28, I shouldn't be spoken to in such a manner. Btw she was 26. What's wrong with people these days??
    I know this pain

    The opposite, not being able to hold even the slightest eye contact, is also a major warning sign.

    Wearing tweed hats, made from a patchwork of different tweeds. Will often sport an array of badges /pins in their jacket lapel. Will usually engage you in a conversation about religion or the morals of young ones. ...

    I think people who think its weird not to like or coffee are weirdos.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Weirdos are way more interesting than the normals.

    Nothing to be afraid of...unless they like to cut people up.

    Give me "a character" any day, over a 'Conor O' Something Irish' who works in an office, has a pretty enough wife (but you probably wouldn't...), a couple of kids and a reasonable car.

    I think people who think its weird for people to think its weird that people don't like coffee are weird.

    I think.

    I've a friend like that, he stayed with me and the ex and I thought he was going to try it on with her, then after an afternoon of him staring at me I thought he was going to try it on with me :eek:
    He did very well with women though :confused:

    People who call the guards when your 12 yr old labrador wanders into their garden.
    Neighbours who stop talking to you because you're friendly with owner of said 12 yr old dog.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,521 ✭✭✭ardle1


    Anyone who confuses 'FaceBook' status with their 'actual life live as we speak what you had for breakfast status'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8 Da Jimmy


    It's in their eyes! You just know, can't explain it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,625 ✭✭✭AngryHippie


    The ould weirdos are great craic !

    Its still a good idea to have a deadbolt fitted and know some basic ass-whoopin moves though, just in case you encounter one of the bad weirdos.

    What little things do people look out for to know that someones going to turn out to be a weirdo?

    For me its

    1. Doesn't like tea/coffee
    2. Thinks most people are pricks

    If someone displays either of those characteristics I'm instantly wary of them.

    Number two is true. Knowing it means I am never disappointed with people.


    For me, its people who tell ya their life story within minutes of meeting them. Those people tend to be c,unts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87 ✭✭sharkfox


    I think it's scientifically proven that people with their locks shaved above their ears are weird... Especially if it goes along with a mullet


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles


    Adults that still have their teddy bear from childhood.


    Freaks.

    I cuddle a teddy every night :o my husband agrees with you.

    I've ticked at least 4 things on this thread :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Meangadh


    Ah a bit weird is a great thing. I find it a very attractive trait actually. It's when people go from weird to total headcases you need to worry.

    Although if I met someone with no friends at all I would find that very odd.

    And unless there are major financial restraints or they have to care for a parent or something, anyone over the age of 30 still living at home, especially if they've never lived anywhere else independently, is also a bit strange.

    This! The first time I met my brother in laws current girlfriend, she told me her full life story within ten minutes of meeting her. I should have known then that she was going to be some kind of bunny boiler :o

    They might just be tight as a badger's arse. Still not a very attractive trait admittedly, but hardly word.

    The fact that someone would make a list or have "Warning signs" that early, or from looking at someone says a lot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 186 ✭✭darlenmol


    The opposite, not being able to hold even the slightest eye contact, is also a major warning sign.

    chances are they might have aspergers and aren't at all weird


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,080 ✭✭✭ireland.man


    Anyone who says "I just tell it as it is...", or "I can be a bit of a bastard" is going to lack social skills, be self-absorbed and frankly a weirdo.

    Staring constantly at you, with dead eyes, in conversation.

    I know this fella...infamous weirdo round my area.. and his eyeballs never move when you're talking to him or he's talking to you.
    It's chilling.
    He also has murdery looking teeth.

    :)

    those who shop religiously in farmers markets and go to places like O'Briens to meet friends for coffee and a chat about intellectual sh1t several times a week.

    Have you a better suggestion about how to use an economics or politics degree?

    I thought you hated cuddles? Or are teddies exempt?
