To think I must have a neon sign attached to me somewhere

Saying "All Weird Individuals Over Here, Please".

Multiple pricks delightful individuals with their breastfeeding comments.

Last week a woman telling "We walk on the right in this country. Its. The. Law." when I'd stepped to one side to let her pass.

Yesterday a woman who took the "Oh isn't he yummy?" comment a step further; "Ohh I could just smoother him in horseraddish, bet he'd taste so lovely!"

And then today a woman I can only describe as a Madame Thenardier wannabe started asking if my son and I would like to join her for lunch. When I politely declined, she replied, "Well that's a terrible shame, Matilda is coming, and she was so looking forward to see you...", then burst into a power ballad. (And yes, I suspect she was probably ill, actually, bless her, but still...)

If anyone notices said sign, could they please remove it for me?

Don't remove it. Life is more interesting.

You could attract dull wankers or indifference which would be worse I imagine.

FWIW I like weird individuals

Mostly well intentioned weirdos though eh?

Do you live near a residential hospital for people who find life troubling?
I used to wonder about some of the people on our high st until I realised there are two local places nearby that let their patients wander out for the day.

you need to change the sign for one that says "Don't give a shit, now sod off"

FWIW, I used to regulalrly attract nutters. I found that scowling at everyone in public helped create the distance I craved.

I want your sign and I want it NOW.

What was the power ballad?

jaggythistle · 28/07/2010 18:59

I nearly coughed juice all over my work pc at 'What was the power ballad?'

Jasonthunderpants · 28/07/2010 18:59

ha ha

I used to think I had a sign many years ago in my younger days

I am afraid some people just have that kind of face that attracts nutters

Hmm, horseradish, so your child is made of beef?

I've heard people call their babies 'little lamb' (they are weird) but 'little calf' is even stranger.

AlistairSim · 28/07/2010 19:32

I'm pretty sure you are one of the weird individuals, Jason.

Jasonthunderpants · 28/07/2010 19:35

How dare you AlistairSim
I am as sane as they come

SirBoobAlot · 28/07/2010 19:51

Trillian, strangely enough he is slightly T-bone shaped, and his middle name is Steak...

And Jason... You will never be normal... And what kind of face?!

Nutters are attracted to people with nice innocent open faces
