Well do you?

Do these undesireables latch on to you?

How do you prevent it without getting nasty?

I don't know what you mean. I chat to people in shops, pubs, queues etc and enquire after their lives, hopes aspirations, kids, pets etc. does this mean I am a 'weirdo'?

(nah, don't answer that...):loopy:

See i was about to post fist then that weirdo stepped in. shes in every Post i go to MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

well if you see me in every post you go to, doesn;t that mean that you are one too?

Ha! Got ya!

And I know where the sorting office is too matey!:D

Nah.

I mean people who latch on to you, try to befrend you, then turn out to be controlling and mentally unstable and looking to you for answers to their problems.

Then totally freak out at you when you're direct and honest with them.

Yes but which one :heyhey: :heyhey: :heyhey: :heyhey: :heyhey:

Yes you do attract them ?

Only briefly.

Then i simply have them around for dinner.

With fava beans and a fine chianti.... ;)

Seriously - years ago I used to attract people who were seriously bad for me.

Now I'm much better at spotting such people and running a mile.

omg
iam not jokeing me and my mates was on about this just the other day..that every boyfriend or bloke iv met or when someone likes me they turn out to be ither nutters or phycos....

how do i deal with them..well i just send some of my biker male friends to have a word with them if they do not listen to me the first time.

i once had a lad from chorly that knew my freind bf, that like me that much,that he drove in the middle of the night to leave me belive or not 4 cans of my fave drink and 4 roses on the step.found them next day. then a few other things on my door step,then xmas eve at 12pm knocked on my door to give me a gift and he said he came at this time as knew i be in at that time and then just drove off back home
one bloke went round to my mums to talk to her about our relationship when we did not have one ...or i just get loveing texs all the time or letters..and few other things but wont go on lol...

got one bloke affter me now that just like the once i have met in past,

iam starting to think that they no normal men out on this planet..apart from my sole mate but he gay so we wont have relationship.

i always meet weird people but have come to consider that i maybe weird myself and that why it happens :D

there is no such thing as normal after all

I used to have a nutter attraction field around me, they'd sit next to me on the bus, talk to me in pubs and randomly approach me in the street and try and chat. I've found now that a steely look repels the nutters and a cold shoulder disperses those unaffected by the stern look. The really persistent ones just get told told to go away because I don't want to talk to them.

I think they go for those of a friendly, open appearance as they can trap them in their conversational web of sh*te and the person is invariably too nice to tell them to sod off.

yep i do, my mam tells me i always have done even as a child the nutters would come and sit next to me on the bus. now they just congrigate in me shop. i have to listen to the ins and outs of their lifes while they ask me questions its obvious they dont want to hear the answers to.

PLEASE ... will all you nutters stop posting on my thread ... thank you ... now ... where was I ? ... oh yeah ...

I think that's been my mistake too Swan_Vesta. Being too soft on people is defo not a good thing.

I think the mechanics go something like this:

People are all full of various flavours of crap, that they've accepted as their reality. They want to reinforce their reality (read: crap) by feeding it to you and getting you to basically agree with anything they say.

Soon as you've had enough and tell them a few home truths. They totally freak!!.

Lesson learned: Better to tell them how it is on day one.

I go to the same special Day centres as them. We admire each others soup stains.

nothing wrong with soup stains...:thumbsup:

I do. I am in my mature years but still wear jeans, albeit TJ Hughes style and I have 2 iercings in my left ear. Note I say left as that is important where I come from.

So, the bus fills up, people get on, empty seat next to me, no one takes it........I am sure they think I am a risk. I can go the whole journey with nobody next to me but people standing. Strange or what?

Next night, later on than first

Empty bus I get on and find seat, maybe two if that passengers. Next stop all the empty seats, yes you guessed they sit next to me

I have no problems with that but I dont want to meet a third Prince Charles thank you, 2 is 2 too many.

They are harmless but sometimes I just want to read The DiVinci Code in private .....what is that all about for goodness sake

Strange and crazy people are the story of my life :D , but its sure is more fun in life than 'normal' 'plain' people, so hey! thank you crazy people for the joy u bring :thumbsup: :clap:

Me too - a couple of years ago and it felt like every weirdo in London was driven by the need to follow me about and try and befriend me. Unfortunately I was often far too nice to these people, a trait which generated far more problems than it actually solved :roll: Nowadays my weirdo radar is finely tuned and I'm much more willing to trust my intuition when I'm not sure about someone.

heehee well ya certainly dint look like a risk to me Boppinbruce when ya popped into say hiya today :D
thought ya looked a normal sorta chap, ( or is that an insult :hihi: )
nice meetin ya anyways m8 :thumbsup:

I often meet wierdo's such as people in ques of shops who talk and talk to you about fin parks and hedges outside their houses. I also have had mad friends flatmates and girlfriends who have totally scared me with their actions

My davice, dont make eye contact, if you make eye contact they talk to you and if your like me they will keep on talking to you as im too nice to tell them to ef off! Apart from that other advice... dont go out and stop talking to people on the internet.

Have i told you about my hedge?

I think b4 we all call "them the wierdos" we should ask what is the norm and are we (you) one? Id hate to think im normal i am me, a human with feelings like everyother human, so if im not or want to be a normal, am i a wierdo, or just what other of the norms want to lower me to?:suspect:

I don’t tend to attract weirdo’s anymore but used to on a regular basis, specially when I was forced to use those vessels of the unclean, buses.
I was once on the 33 bus heading back from the town centre, I was sat upstairs on my own. As we approached a stop in burngreave I saw this bloke punching the air and pacing back and forth. He was in his late thirties, maybe a wee bit older though. I was hoping the bus driver would use that age-old tactic of enforcing invisibility onto lunatics and single mums out shopping. The one that allows them to drive straight past at about 50 mph like something out of Speed, leaving some poor single mum to struggle with bairn and shopping.
Unfortunately this driver’s conscience got the better of him, either that or he was new, and he stopped to let said scary bloke on.
I should have known it was going to be bad because this fella actually fell upstairs, how can you do that? He fell very near the first step, all the way up to the last and ended up laid there looking straight at me with his beady lil mincers. I got up to help him but he was faster and fitter than Marvin Hagler, probably because he had spent so much of his life running away from the demons.
This really was the time a government ban on large kitchen knives would have made sense. The last thing you want is someone with a bigger cardiovascular capacity than Miguel Indurain getting busy with a large pointy thing in a confined space.
He walked right up to me and sat himself down, effectively shutting me in, sandwiching me between him and the window.
At first I thought he might have felt more at home licking the glass but he seemed intent on just looking right in to my eyes for about 5 minutes non stop. I tried to look out of the window but kept focussing on my reflection with him behind me doing the same, I was sure I had developed one of those white lines the people in The Omen had.
Then he jumped up screamed at the top of his voice “I COULD PUT YOU ON YOUR ARSE IN 5 SECONDS FLAT”. He then walked to the back of the bus, I never turned to see what he was doing. After a couple of minutes he walked back past me and got off the bus as if it was nothing and went on his way. He had actually urinated all over the back seats. Thank god the only body fluids exchanged on this occasion were a tiny bit of spittle sprayed at me when he was screaming, it could have been much worse.
Thankfully the purchase of a vehicle ended these encounters for good.
It is still a shame about these people though, trapped in their own scary world.

was it the bus inspector?

No you are not all wierdos.
Maybe I did cross the path of someone who should be understood but at 17 years of age I didnt care about anything or anyone but myself.
That was 20 years ago, things have changed, everything except my hatred of buses
Read sig.

I used to take the London-Worcester train a lot in my youth, and almost invariably would get the dishevelled eccentric sitting opposite me. I can still remember some of them (with a shudder) 15 years on. Partly because they often had collections of photographs about their person with which to illustrate their left-of-centre passion. The man who built miniature steam engines from scratch and then photographed them has etched himself into my memory like a scar, as has the loon who owned 329 bespokely hand-built guitars.

Nowadays I get paid to interview dysfunctionals and write about the product of their off-kilter dreams in car magazines. And sometimes the money just isn't enough. The man who built a gold-plated engine and installed it in a poo-brown metallic Vauxhall Astra Estate for instance. He just wasn't right. I wanted to call the feature Goldminger, but the editor wouldn't let me. Still, could be worse. Were I Catholic (and religious) I might have ended up having to listen to nutters every day and have to store their deviances up in my head, unable to express them due to the sanctity of the confessional. Lord be praised for small mercies.

I know it's a tangent, but why is it just French cars you object to? Other nations produce polluters too...

All this animosity has upset me, I feel demoralised (although madowl thinks I have no morals). I aint a bad lad honestly, I can be hurt.
I will certainly think twice about how I view the less fortunate from this point on. I am going to get some food now, when I get back I hope you have forgotten my ignorance to those who suffer from mental illness (remember I was young at the time).
I will be thinking of the homeless as I struggle to eat selfishly the food that has been prepared for me.
Please forgive me Madowl:cry:
