To think that people who call themselves "quirky", "kooky" or "random" should fuck off?

[Namechangingchameleon]

Add to that people with "eclectic" music tastes.

Fuckers, all of them.

Then there's "Muggins here" did something wonderful and saved the situation. It's a non-stealth boast.

Haven't RTFT, but can I add "That's the way I roll" following a description of a totally mundane act?

"Spent last night dancing round my bedroom to Taylor Swift while wearing my pjs. That's just the way I roll, lol!"

YADNBU!
Why is it the ones who shout loudest about being "different" or off the wall are really boring fucks?

I actually had someone in the pub tell me I was a "quirky free spirit", she was properly offended when I laughed my arse off at her.
I hate any "woo" bollocks, and the term "free spirit" sets my teeth on fucking edge.
She thought I would like it, I found it insulting!

I really loath the 'it could only happen to me, what am I like' types. Friend of friend is god awful for it.

• tiny sticker on sunglass lens? 'Oh my goooood, am mortified - could only happen to me! what am I like!' tells everyone of 'mortification'
• FB statuses that end with 'you know what I am like, lol' and lots of people saying ' it had to happen to you hun, you mad un' usually about something incredibly generic
• So I randomly decided to have brie and grape instead of ham and cheese..I know! What am I like! Grape on bread! lol (this is word for word including the exclamation marks. I almost cried with boredom)
• you will get used to me! I am sooooo random

GET.TO.FUCK

Lol @ 'grape on bread'.

Daft twat.

Bubbly = talks too fucking much, usually with screeching giggle.
The bloke version is probably "wanker" but at least they tend not to screech.

I've learnt to avoid anyone calling themselves Mad X or worst, changing their name to "Random"...

This is hilarious! I totally agree, think they're all controversial for liking shit music. I also hate it when people say 'say it how it is I do, you get the truth from me'. Um soz hard, maybe some of us don't feel the need to 'say it how it is'over everything.

I'll tell you who can fuck off. Judgemental twats.

Add to that people with "eclectic" music tastes.

Thats a but U. Eclectic just means you like lots of different music genres!

"Spent last night dancing round my bedroom to Taylor Swift while wearing my pjs. That's just the way I roll, lol!"

I always assumed that was being used in irony. Like you're saing 'I just did something totally boring and mundane, I am not exciting, I know". That's what I read it as anyway .

Ok maybe I'm U over eclectic. It was just cos of OLD but I detest the word. Diverse or varied or "all sorts" sounds better. Eclectic makes me think of beards.

I have been described as 'bubbly'. I thought they were just trying to find something positive to say, as I'm quiet, fat and boring. I hope they didn't mean that I'm annoying and screechy with a shrill laugh .

all you "eclectic music taste" people need to get on my "Catholic taste" level. I'm on a whole other continent of wank.

Not on my FB feed, whois

I didn't think anyone used 'that's the way I roll' any way except ironically. As in 'Put two loads of laundry on today and cleaned the bathroom. Cos that's the way I roll. #thuglife'

OP I think there are two subtly different ways 'eclectic' gets used. Sense 1 (OLD version) means 'a bit of everything' as in 'owns Mariah Carey and Snow Patrol CDs as well as some dodgy 80s metal and a bit of mainstream jazz' and Sense 2 means 'wanky hipster music collection composed of artists bought Before They Were Cool and carefully edited for inspection by visitors to ensure maximum muso ponciness'. Sense 2 = beards but Sense 1 can just mean 'bad or incoherent taste'.

My music collection is Sense 1 eclectic, DH's is Sense 2 and he has a beard.

I think it boils down to not being confident enough to admit your boringly normal.

I'm boring, I like being boring. I like not having mad off the wall shit thrown at me because it disrupts my boring little life.

There was a finalist in master chef who described herself as mad and she literally makes my teeth itch.

People who describe themselves as quirky and mad always make me think of the middle name "Danger", like it's mad and crazy. If you go to the deed pool website it tells you they issue at least one certificate every week to someone adding Danger to their names, lol

Colin Hunt from The Fast Show.
He is THAT PERSON...

"I'm mad me!"

Colin Hunt.

Nodding along at lots of these

I worked with a fellow who though he was kerr-azy and it was tiring. He wore Disney character ties and had a short piece of rope on his desk, knotted. You'd ask him for the [whatever data report or something about the renewal of the photocopier maintenance contract or suchlike] and he would hold up his knotted rope and bellow "What's this? A FRAYED KNOT" (meaning afraid not) and chuckle loudly. I don't know how I didn't strangle him with his mad ties or terrible prop

Omg Colin Hunt, exactly!

They can be joined by those who are 'spiritual '

'Doesn't suffer fools gladly' translates to 'is an arrogant prick who is nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is'.
