Made it to the local news! Could you tell me how I look?

I've always wondered what people think of me if they saw me just getting on with my day. The local newspaper did exactly that, now could you MNs tell me what would you think of me? I'm the one on the phone.

I can tell you what I think of you based on this thread, and that's odd. Very fucking odd!

Who posts a picture of themselves that's practically out of focus and requests feedback 😂

MN gets weirder by the day.

gawd people are grumpy these days Grin
you look cool OP

BilboBercow · 06/08/2020 12:58

I wouldn't even notice you op. Sorry à

@Hellofromcornwall

Love Truro
Bloody hell, it is too. Thought I recognised the street.

@BarefootHippieChick

I'm more interested in the couple at the front with the pushchair, she looks grumpy as fuck and he looks like he's wishing he'd remembered his raincoat.
Yup! I dearly want to know what conversation they were having.
Greenglassteacup · 06/08/2020 13:09

I doubt think I would notice you. Jeans and t shirt. Nothing to catch my attention

Greenglassteacup · 06/08/2020 13:09

Don’t not doubt

BusterGonad · 06/08/2020 13:12

I think fashion wise you look a bit 90s, What's on your feet? Boots/trainers. Why 2 bags? I'd also be a bit worried if I was heading your way that you'd bump into me, I too find constant phone checking irritating. You just look like one of a crowd.

JulesCobb · 06/08/2020 13:15

You look entirely average honestly OP, good for committing a crime I’d say.
Grin

You look normal. I like the look of the street

Hellofromcornwall · 06/08/2020 13:16

@PhilCornwall1 waves! ello pard Grin

@Fressia123

I never realised people on their phones was such a popular pet peeve.
Oh God yes!
Spied · 06/08/2020 13:24

Early 30's, carefree attitude, cool and edgy.
On your way back from a friends where you slept over and drank too many craft ciders.

Hello back to you. Grin

Fressia123 · 06/08/2020 13:32

It's so funny that you think the ones with the pushchair are a couple, they're father and son!

Angelina82 · 06/08/2020 13:40

I’m don’t think I’d think anything about you at all. Why would I?

shadypines · 06/08/2020 15:48

First thought is why are you walking down street not looking where you are going? Surely this is basic common sense? If you trip on that loose flag, fall down that hole or bump into that elderly person/toddler it won't t be a pretty sight. Apart from that you look perfectly ok😊

How do you know that? Confused Was it a staged photo?

But surely that just proves that when it’s walking down the street people don’t really pay any attention to you at all let alone think anything about you (or mistake you for a grumpy woman when you’re really a teenage boy.)

Fressia123 · 06/08/2020 16:12

I know who they are because they're my family!

ComtesseDeSpair · 06/08/2020 16:16

Well, then I suppose at least you now all know what people would think of you if they saw you just getting on with the day: you appear anything from dull and average to cool and edgy; your husband looks like he wishes he’d worn his coat; and your son looks like his grumpy wife.

People really are not very observant or interested when it comes to fleeting passers-by!

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 06/08/2020 16:18

Only read first post as didnt want to be unduly influenced. Just off that one small picture, id say busy lady, but seems relaxed and not rushed. Just busy going about her business Smile

FunTimes2020 · 06/08/2020 16:26

I would probably be judgy, and think another prat walking along glued to their phone. Sorry, my pet hate!

Shallowsubmarine · 06/08/2020 16:26

Don’t really understand the couple of trendy comments. At first glance I thought a man (sorry!) then looking closer a bog standard 30’s/40’s woman....perhaps with an unflattering haircut. And agree on the 90’s comment. Quite Louise Weiner

Shallowsubmarine · 06/08/2020 16:28

I keep zooming in to try and understand where the edgy comments are coming from??!! Edgy for Truro?

Crankley · 06/08/2020 16:33

If I was on my mobility scooter my first thought would be - person with head down looking at mobile who is going to crash into my scooter despite me saying 'excuse me' multiple times, increasingly loudly and then blame me for crashing into her although I will be stationary by the time she bumps into my scooter. Hmm

gamerchick · 06/08/2020 16:37

Honestly I would and do wonder when I see people hunched over phones like that whether it's affected their posture or gives them backache. Straighten up man Grin

You look fine though.
