"I am a character"

Imo people that describe themselves as 'a character' or 'funny' very rarely are.

I personally think you are socially a bit awkward and try to mask this by being (or attempting to be) funny.

Well what a coincidence! One of the elderly ladies I look after told me I looked like Rosemary Shrager at the weekend. I am 36 Hmm.

SoupDragon · 27/11/2012 16:50

Please point out where I have bullied you, Carrot.

Why think up a new description of how that post makes you look when Usualsuspect has summed it up quite nicely?

ImperialStateKnickers · 27/11/2012 16:50

OP you're not being funny or clever. The kindest word to describe you I can think of is 'odd'.

But she isn't likely to agree that you paid her a compliment, is she?

Because I don't think most people wake up thinking that they look ugly or rough, and then do nothing about it. And she obviously isn't the rough type that might want to do that, because she's your friend, and therefore I presume she's nice.

So she probably will take it more like an insult than a compliment, even if you didn't intend it so.

What I do think is that you were probably taught as a child to "match" people to celebrities to help you remember them. I wouldn't do it out loud. I can imagine that it would annoy at least 50% of people, but it would be very difficult to tell you that it was annoying without ruining the friendship. Your current friends might not mind, or might be secretly hating it, but future friends might react like this lady did.

I mean, Rosemary might have nice eyes, but she's still not who you would want to be told that you looked like.

If OH came home from work and told me I looked like Rosemary Shrager, I'd launch something in his direction, and then tell him he looked like...I don't know...Alex Reid, or Christopher Biggins or some such. It'd be an insult, albiet a veiled one, rather than a compliment.

SantasComingFace · 27/11/2012 16:54

It's not what you said to the lady, it's your comments on here...

PatriciaHolm · 27/11/2012 17:03

The more threads I read of yours, the, er, odder you sound.

Do sane people ever think of themselves as a "character" ??

ilovesooty · 27/11/2012 17:08

Good grief. The OP sounds very peculiar.

And why post AIBU only to deliver unhinged rants when people say you are?

CarrotCrunchersCrimboCracker · 27/11/2012 17:10

I don't want to fall out with you all and i apologise if i have offended anybody or upset anybody.I was just looking for a bit of light hearted banter which ended up getting a bit out of hand.I respect your opinions and understand where you are coming from.I don't mean to be horrid or beastly just sometimes i'm brutally frank, as i said my hearts in the right place and i mean well, i hope there are no hard feelings,all the best and have agood evening.Over and out

I'm not sure that's entirely appropriate to comment on the looks of someone who works in the supermarket - or anywhere really.

zombiesheep · 27/11/2012 17:29

Really CarrotCruncher, another odd/weird/bizarre thread? Are you not bored yet? This is like... The third one I've seen from you and none have panned out well. Seriously. Hmm

HairyGrotter · 27/11/2012 17:36

Character hahahahahaha. Phahahahaha.

Odd, definitely odd, and a touch eccentric but not in a good way

LadyBeagle · 27/11/2012 18:04

This thread is hilarious.
But I'm crazy me Grin

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 27/11/2012 18:35

Woman where I shop looks exactly like Matt Lucas. EXACTLY. It's eerie.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 27/11/2012 18:37

PS I didn't tell her.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 27/11/2012 18:43

Oh my days, what a car-crash of a thread.

maddening · 27/11/2012 19:07

when I have my makeup on I get told I look like Kristy allsop or nigella Lawson - but I am in fact a munter :( and a bit fatter since ds.

LucieMay · 27/11/2012 19:11

Honestly, I think you should just STFU commenting on everyone's appearance before you either upset someone or they say something back about your appearance. I HATE HATE HATE people commenting on my appearance, particularly when I don't even know them well.

LadyBeagle · 27/11/2012 19:18

Op reminds me of the Father Ted episode, when Ted and Dougal think it'll be hilarious to shout 'I don't believe it ' when they see the actor that plays Victor Meldrew (what is his real name again)?
