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.

I was going to say "spiritual" annoys me too. It means "I don't believe in God, because church is too much effort, but I believe in all sorts of rubbish like astrology, homeopathy, dream catchers, crystals etc"

My mother used always say "I'm very humble". I always thought that that was for other people to say and it always seemed like some kind of weird boast.

I had to listen to a woman talk about her spirituality for the entirely of my Eurostar journey from Paris to London last night, broken only by her journeys to the bar.

I'm a bit on the fence about 'doesn't suffer fools gladly' (mainly because the phrase appeared in one of my early school reports.) I mean really, who does? Who actually likes fools? I take fools to be the kind of people who call themselves 'zany' etc, exactly the kind of people being discussed here. And most of the posters here aren't suffering them gladly at all.

And people who 'call a spade a spade'.
Usually just obnoxious, opinionated knobheads who talk over people and railroad conversations.
They dress up being tactless twats as 'being honest'.

Hate list, in order:

1. I'm crazy/mad/zany me (usually very annoying & mundane people).

1. You know me, I always put others first (martyrs or doormats).

1. As only I could...(again, mundane but think they're 'kooky').

1. Manic pixie dream girls (desperate attention seekers, desperate for male approval).

1. I'm so not mainstream/vanilla/suburban...(just generally twats who look down on normal people).

1. I call a spade a spade (obnoxious twats).

(I realise I am being very mean spirited ).

Imagine having that much extra energy to spend hating people who have no effect on your life...

Funny that

And people who give themselves nicknames. A woman I used to work with, named Katherine, decided, after years of using her full name, to try to get everyone to call her "Kitty". Not one person did.

I have a distant relative who says things like this. He thinks he is hilarious. He and his family recently had their picture taken at the Abbey Road zebra crossing and posted it on Facebook as though they were the first people ever to have thought of it.

Someone bought me a 'You don't have to be mad to work here but it helps' mug for the staff room at work. Oh how we laughed! Well actually I didn't laugh because its a shit mug.

I work with someone who introduced herself as 'the mad, kooky one - you'll hear about me I'm sure, I'm a bit loopy' and a nudge nudge wink wink. Fucking appalling.

Can I add anyone who says "I say it as I see it, honest to a fault, me!"

They mean "I'm fucking rude, me, and proud of it!"

Uncoping, even at my most depleted and exhausted, I can still find the energy to be irrationally & disproportionately irritated by people.

This says it all:

For those of you wondering about Zombie's third person style.

(I must admit my first impression was that Zombie was telling someone what she wanted posting and they were putting it on for her.)

I do have eclectic music taste but I never say that in real life as it just sounds wanky.
Usually go with I like lots of different types of music.

whatamess reminds me of when I worked in large office and I spotted a regular looking white cup with wander printer on the outside bottom amongst all the other identical but completely white cups.

Did tickle me a bit.

Isn't spirituality like the McDonald's of religion? Easy to digest junk that won't challenge you too much, requires no effort or commitment and is completely disposable?

My experience of individuals who describe themselves as posters on here have said, are in fact, the incredibly boring attention seeking twatty types deep down, who would do almost anything to draw attention to themselves. The truly 'bohemian/wacky' types I have known have been the quiet almost introverted ones that would quite happily travel alone, not want any extra attention and would mix with anyone they liked regardless of their tastes or lifestyles. I can't be doing with the self confessed Marmite folk or the I'm a hipster only hang about with hipster looking fuckers and only go to hipster haunts. Go away.

Gah. That Marilyn Monroe quote irritates me to fuck. I even saw it on someone's living room wall once. When I see that quote on FB I just think 'no, you're just nasty when drunk'.

I can't bear any self affirmations on FB. Someone posted one about not needing to explain themselves anymore because other people are too thick to appreciate their zany/kooky personality. And I so wanted to reply 'and here you are explaining yourself'

I know of someone who describes herself as "a whirlwind". What that seems to mean in reality is that she never, ever, ever stops talking.

Notcitrus poor you!

that manic pixie dream girl spoof account is SO funny

(it's not parodying artsy types, more that whole self-conscious inauthentic way of doing things whilst claiming to be hugely original, sort of being "what I am like?" and fishing for everyone to be impressed)

"can you believe i own a motorcycle??? it's like, r.i.p. gender norms"

"i'm bad at dancing but i'm cute so it's basically like i'm good at dancing"

"Yeah, hah, I crochet. I guess it's just one of those embarrassing things about me"

"Most people think it's weird that a girl as pretty as me likes comic books and vinyl records."

The "I'm mad me" types are annoying and usually their madness extends only as far as owning a pair of novelty socks.

The "tell it like it is" people and the "I'll probably get deleted for this but it's my Facebook so fuck off" types are also annoying. Both of those are usually the first to start screeching if anybody else tells them how it is or posts something they don't like. Or takes them at their word and deletes them.

I have one man in particular on my Facebook account, and he's obsessed with other people taking offence at things that other people have not, in fact, taken offence at. He was all over that non-story about Christians hating red coffee cups at Christmas and when it was pointed out that the only people making a big deal about those cups were people like him who were ranting about the made-up Christians who supposedly didn't like them he was offended himself.

I don't think any Christians actually cared one way or the other what colour cup people bought their coffee in, but he cared very much about the fact that he didn't think they should care, even though they already didn't care. He went off about that for days, I think he was solely responsible for it trending on Facebook, and he did not take kindly to being told the only person bothered about the colour of the cups was him. Not one other person in the entire world cared either way.

I don't mind the word eclectic.

My MIL used to describe me as wacky I'm not wacky, she based her entire opinion of my wackiness on the basis that she occasionally saw me wearing a perfectly normal hat. It's fifteen years later and I'm still pissed off about that. The only person who deserves to be called wacky is Su Pollard, and I don't mean that as a compliment.

Gah. That Marilyn Monroe quote irritates me to fuck

Is that the 'If you can't handle me at my worst…' one?

It might as well read 'I'm mostly a pain in the arse. Avoid.'

Another one who hates the "I say it like it is" crowd. Or those who preface their opinions with "I know this is politically incorrect but...." like they're some hero maverick who is brave enough to say what everyone is too afraid to..

Add to that people with "eclectic" music tastes.

I have catholic music tastes. Am I OK?
