When You're Strange....

[Guest Ozymandias]

Ever have a moment when you realize exactly how truly odd you seem to other people?

 

For me it was when I was advising someone I knew against getting an ICP tattoo. I said that I still regretted getting an Oprah Winfrey tattoo on my back, and no one really seemed to think I was kidding.

 

Anyone?

[Guest imajackoff?]

I have an office job at a dept. store and one of the ladies I worked with was talking about a guy that was shopping there that had a shaved head with tattoos all over it. I said, "I didnt know that my dad was in town.". She thought I was serious.

[Guest J*ingus]

See the "were you ever in love with someone you couldn't have" thread, page 4, and be prepared to sit for a while.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I'll never forget the time my buddy Brian walked into my old apartment, and gave me the most fucked up look of all time, when I asked him if he wanted to smoke a moth.

[Guest WukenBloodstar]

The time I told somebody I'd throw him in prison and watch him fight for his virginity. Despite the laughs it got, nobody understood and was like, what the fuck?

[Guest Incandenza]

When I'm at work, it happens constantly. My sense of humor usually involves saying the most absurd things in as deadpan a manner as possible, and it almost always goes over people's heads.

[Guest Cancer Marney]

I'm not odd. I'm just a sarcastic bitch. The stares I get are usually malicious rather than uncomprehending.

[Guest Will Scarlet]

I remember one time in high school I had watched a documentary on Nero, and I told a friend about it. He goes and tells some girl who had a crush on me about it, using my name instead of Nero's for some of his acts, and she goes up to me, dead serious and a bit scared, and asks me if I am going to harm her. I am, "Uh...No. Why would I do that?" I found the whole thing pretty funny, but I was a little worried that she absolutely believed I would do those things. During high school, when I pretended to be in "wannabe dictator mode" I was only joking, but everyone always took me seriously. Odd. On the flip side, I did win Craziest in the class, which, considering some of my other classmates, was quite an honour.

[Guest evenflowDDT]

I won "Most Likely to Appear on the Jerry Springer Show" in the year book senior year. I brought masking tape and a belt for the photo shoot, and I had a friend "walk" me back, with the belt around my neck like a leash. When I got to class the whole class stopped and stared. Someone took the masking tape off my mouth and I asked "What? Oh. Sorry I'm late, I was tied up, it won't happen again."

 

Plus another time I had to prove to a friend that I didn't hate freshmen by wearing make-up, and I kept getting asked if I "swung that way". I had no idea what they were talking about so I said "Uhhh, yea I guess so". Hilarity ensued.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

The depths of my weirdness expand to obscene and possibly illegal boundaries. I won't elaborate.

 

Fo sheez,

Kotzenjunge

[Guest J*ingus]

I could top all of you... but I think it might be a crime to even SAY some of these things, so I won't.

[Guest El Psycho Diablo]

Now I'm curious.

 

Talk, Jingus.

[Metal Ed]

I get some weird stares, man. It might be because of the length of my mullet (I'm hoping for sixteen inches by November) but most of the rock dudes round here have 'em even longer than I do. Usually I get weird stares because I keep the Rock Box up to 10 at all times. You should see how those cops look at me. It don't have a volume knob, though, and Metal Ed doesn't mind how loud it is. One of those cops tried to get in there and turn it down with a pair of tweezers, man. I woulda decked the guy if they didn't already have me cuffed. Nobody fucks with Metal Ed's Rock Box and gets away with it.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

(marks out for the ROCK BOX~!)

 

Fo sheez!

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I won "Most Likely to Appear on the Jerry Springer Show" in the year book senior year.

My prize was "Most Mysterious." I went around the school for the better part of two weeks, walking up to random people and asking, "Say there, do you think I'm...Mysterious?" Most people said, "Uh..yeah." Just so I'd go away.

 

If I had to pin it down as to why I was voted that, it would probably be the fact that I hardly talked to anyone aside from a few friends, got decent grades, and enough people knew who I was while still knowing nothing about me. I was best known as "that big blond guy in the chem lab." I scared the FUCK out of the freshman biology class by making explosives in my advanced chem class. Nothing really dramatic, just Nitrogen Tri-Iodide, which is about as loud as a .22 going off. That class was so fun, the first time I made the stuff, I made about 3 grams more than I'd planned, which made it about 3 times as loud. Girls in the next room screamed in terror, it was a beautiful thing, especially when followed up by my laughter and my chem teacher going "Shit!"

[Guest bob_barron]

I won-

Most Talkative

Most Pugnent Lunch

Best Yearbook Picture

Most Likely to Run the Government

[Guest saturnmark4life]

3rd most attractive male, somehow. hooray.

i'm the most sarcastic prick ever, yet some people i hang around with all the time still don't quite pick up on all of it.

[Guest kingkamala]

I won Class Clown and Best Friend to Everyone. The second one I didn't get cause I didn't really do anything outstandingly friendly but hey an award is an award and I took it

[Guest NazMistry]

Well I won 'Best Beard' at my college.

For a laugh I shaved it off for the award ceremony and everyone just stared at me when I collected the award.

[Guest dreamer420]

I think a lot of people think I am a strange dude but there are a few factors in that. People see that I am a pothead, hair dyed, ear pierced, wrestling obsessed guy with no regard for his own physical well being and look at me weird. I couldn't care less though.

[Guest Sandman9000]

I watch people bleed and enjoy it.

[Guest Ram]

That's my only appeal, actually.

 

A lot of people really don't know me very well, so they get the cover of the book but none of the content inside. Fuck them, anyway.

[Guest J*ingus]

I didn't win a damn thing in the yearbook, since the elitist pricks at my school only give out like ten awards to about four hundred students.

[Guest dreamer420]

I didn't win a damn thing in the yearbook, since the elitist pricks at my school only give out like ten awards to about four hundred students.

It's funny that you mention that because I was in the journalism class that made our year books and all the elite made sure they were mentioned, forgetting about outsiders like myself and the rest of the entire school.

[Guest DeputyHawk]

I don't know if they thought I was strange, but my former employees at the glorious instituation that is Blockbuster Video thought I was a criminal stemming from a night I broke into the store to use the company phone to call a friend who was out teaching in South Korea. Apparently, you're not supposed to use your keys to enter the store outwith of office hours anyway, so the 3am 106-minute Korean phone bill that went to head office coupled with the CCTV footage of me taking & eating a Chunky Monkey Ben & Jerry's icecream tub really put me on thin ice with the company. My resignation was a mere formality. When it then emerged that money had been consistently going AWOL from the till for the last several weeks of my employment there, the blame was squarely placed at my departing feet. I knew for a fact someone else had been taking it but no one in the company would listen to me because I had that one inebriated midnight misdemeanor with a phone and a fridge. I have subsequently been banned from Blockbuster and told I was lucky not to have had charges pressed. I hate having a stigma hanging over me for something I did not, and would not do. Fucking Korea.

[Guest goodhelmet]

people used to look at me wierd when i had the labret and blue hair. then i realized that employers weren't looking for piercings and dye.

 

kids still think i am strange though

[Guest Ravenbomb]

people constantly say that when they first saw me that they were afraid that I was going to come to school with a gun and kill everybody or get a bomb and blow up the school because I wear all black and am really quiet.

[Guest DeputyHawk]

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS A PSYCHO LONER!!!!!

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

Everyone said that about me at work. One day I made an allusion to everyone talking about it in a letter to my manager. He called me in for a meeting, and everyone expected me to blow them all away.

 

Fo sheez,

Kotzenjunge

[Guest MaxPower27]

Everyone that I meet just thinks that I'm an asshole. I am, but I just wish they wouldn't judge me without me getting to act like an asshole to them. Assholes.

 

I didn't get nominated for shit in my yearbook. I could've won for Who the fuck is that kid. I didn't talk to anyone, except the few friends that I had. Stupid high school.
