Title: Personal Quirks That Make You A "Bad" Person
Post by: Killer Bees on January 29, 2008, 12:10:31 AM
I can't eat around retarded or disabled people.  Even someone in a wheelchair is enough to have me putting down my food and moving away from the area.

Which is weird because I have a really strong stomach normally and not much fazes me.

Your turn!! :teddyr:

My list is too long to name.  I used to think I was a "good" guy; within the last year, I've realize how big of a jerk I am much of the time.

My children still love me, though (they're young), so that's something.

My wife says I'm a "gross little man". I tend to blow my nose in public,like in parking lots and such,by covering one nostril with my finger and blowing snot out the other nostril. I also tend to make a big production number out of every fart that comes out my ass.

 I also like to give nasty little brats in stores (the kind who kick and scream "I want it!") Manson or Lugosi like bugeyed glares which gets me dirty looks from the parent and gives the kid the heebie jeebies. Then I laugh out loud.
  I have my front tooth missing...and about 5'2"..so I look like a deranged midget,which adds to the effect.

My personal quirks...the biggest one...people p**s me off and I can't help but make fun of them and/or insult them when they do...and I'm freakin' good at it.

I'm pretty curmudgeonly at work at lot ot the time, mainly with people who don't know me too well. Although, some people are in on the joke and know what a nutty guy I really am.

I have no quirks whatsoever. I am a perfect human being. I am the apex of human evolution, both biologically and culturally.  :lookingup:

And now, back to reality...

I usually come across as either stand-offish or too serious, neither of which I am. It takes me a while to warm to people, so I often seem condescending or, according to some, arrogant. I do absolutely refuse to conform to what others want just to fit in (which made for a very lonely high school experience, since that is mostly about fitting in). If you don't like me, it's your loss. That may be a touch of arrogance; I can't be held responsible for your perceptions of me. Once I warm to someone, they find out that I'm pretty much just a huge goofball, and they will generally like me well enough, though they still don't know quite what to do with me.

My quirks can all be listed as a result of one outstanding quirk: my ambiguous morality forces me to look at anything and everything as a shade or grey rather than black or white, which p**ses off a lot of people who have firmly believed, either because of personal choice or because of societal teaching, that certain things are ostensibly bad and can in no possible way be acceptable in any terms. I'm the eternal Devil's Advocate and that rubs a lot of people and their morals the wrong way. At the same time, I prefer not to p**s people off for no good reason, so I try to keep that in check. That's not me being courteous, that's me avoiding physical violence and the resultant aftershocks of such, like jail time, lawsuits, and injury to my self. I can be an a***ole, but I'm allergic to pain. :drink:

I'm not a touchy-feely chick like most tend to be, so when I don't do the phony little group hug bull***t I'm usually told how cold and unfeeling I am.  Plus I cannot tolerate bad manners or bad service and I will usually make a very public statement about it, much to the dismay of people dumb enough to take me anywhere.

Dear Lord...you've opened a can of worms.  First and foremost I'm very condensending, almost to a vicious nature. Mix that with my glass half empty attitude and it gets messy.   I'm critical a lot, I find something wrong with everything, even myself...lol.  That and I usually have to get a last word in and I usually don't know when to "drop it". 

In the physical being...I pick my nose occasionally.  I burp often and even in public I don't realize I'm doing it.  I do a lot of "guy crotch scratching".  Farting is something I don't do out loud in public but I laugh if it smells bad.

I have a nasty knack of judging people too early.  Something I've tried to cut back on. Some people I didn't like at first end up being some of my best friends in the past. 

I could go on about how I laugh when people trip and fall in front of me or how much I throw my middle finger up but I'll stop here.  Know whats funny, I'm sure all these things we're listing are things we find "good" about ourselves. :bouncegiggle:

I hate children.  I'm not just saying that, I really hate them.  My first instinct when I see one is to kick it out of my way.


Title: Re: Personal Quirks That Make You A "Bad" Person
Post by: Killer Bees on January 29, 2008, 08:06:56 PM
Oh man you guys crack me up   :bouncegiggle:    And I think I have every one of the qualities that you have listed as your own.  But I don't pick my nose or burp or fart in public.  That's about it.

And even though I have a teenage son, I generally loathe kids too.  They all seem to be annoying or rude or just plain stupid.  I won't kick one out of the way, but if a kid is wandering near it's parents and it's in my way and they aren't keeping an eye out, I won't move, but walk straight into them.  I've even been known to yell at the kid and then at the parents when they get mad. 

I say what I think and it doesn't take long before people realise not to ask for my opinion.  Because I tell them the truth, not what they want to hear.  I don't volunteer information unless I"m directly asked and I don't do favours for anyone because I don't want them done for me.  And if I overhear someone saying something that is patently wrong, I'll laugh out loud at them and shake my head as I'm walking away, just to freak them out.

If you want a better idea of what I'm like, look for English comedienne Catherine Tate's character Joannie "Nan" Taylor.  But I'm only 41, and not an old woman like she is.  My son thinks it's hilarious, because he says I'll be exactly like her when I'm her age.  The only thing stopping me from being like that now is that I actually do have a little courtesy and a little tact and I know when to keep my mouth shut.

Hmm not sure if this makes me a bad person but it certainly often gets in the way of my fitting in. Truth be told, I usually don't give a damn what others think of me, I'm going to do what I want to do...if that means watching black and white movies, pro wrestling, b-movies, that's my choice. I also feel no need or desire to ever take part in drinking, smoking or other drugs (besides medicine). I'm a straight-edge type even to liking the heavy punk rock associated with it although honestly I prefer the classic punk rockers. I like what I like and I'm going to do what I'm going to do...

10 years ago I was a ball of hate who would prefer putting a shotgun is most people's mouths rather than listen to what they have to say, but eventually I just got tired and realized that no amount of my hatred was going to change anything and it's easier to just coast along with the flow and just laugh at the rest of humanity for being so stupid. Fortunately the rest of mankind and myself have learned to leave each other alone for the most part. Hermitude serves me well.  :teddyr:

I see I am not alone.

In truth, I am very misanthropic and I really don't feel the need to interact with the majority of people I encounter. I usually get my wife to do any talking on the phone or when we go out, simply because most people annoy the sh*t out of me.

I tend to blow my nose in public,like in parking lots and such,by covering one nostril with my finger and blowing snot out the other nostril.

Here in Iowa we call that the "Farmer Blow"!
I've done it several times myself and yes, it is disgusting.  But sometimes it just has to be done.

As for my own personal quirks...
Like Derf, I sometimes get accused of being arrogant.
I remember one time several years ago at a get together among friends, there was this new girl hanging out with us. (a friend of a friend)
I was blabbering on about something and she looked me straight in the eyes and said, "You're kinda stuck up aren't you?"
That threw me for a loop because I never think of myself that way. 
And it made for an awkward moment.

Ever since that night, I'll catch myself saying arrogant things and feel somewhat ashamed.

I've definitely mellowed since then.  Especially here on this forum.
Dig up old posts of mine from years back and you can clearly see that I'm not even close to the same person I once was.  I get embarrassed reading some of the junk I wrote.
Well, every now & then I can become ornery, but I usually keep it in check.

---------------------

I am also called "cheap" by my friends and family members!
I don't think I'm cheap.  I believe I'm thrifty or frugal.

For example, I do not buy napkins.
Instead, when I go through the McDonalds drive-thru, I ask for a huge stack of napkins.
Why buy napkins at the store when I can get them from McDonalds for free?
McDonalds is a multi-billion dollar corporation.  They can afford it.
To me, that's not cheap...that's smart.
Only a sucker pays for napkins when he or she could get them for free.
Same goes for any other product.
(if you recently bought or currently buy napkins, please accept my apologies)   :smile:

I must get the "cheapness" from my father because my mother constantly tells me, "Jeez Jamey, you're just like your father!  He was cheap too!  That's one of the reasons I divorced him!"

Thanks Mom.   :smile:

So I guess my "cheapness" is hereditary.    :tongueout:

Bratty kids (as RC mentioned earlier) get on my nerves.  Don't get me near a crying and loud kid in a restaurant.  The best part is when my 2 year old son (who is usually well behaved) gives those brats a dirty look.  Parents have a lot to do with their kid's behavior.  I generally hate parents who don't seem to give a sh*t.

Let's have a little fun with this one.

(1) McDonald's is a multi-billion corporation, true, but that does NOT mean they will "afford" any waste.  Any costs they see in their operation are defered to the customer.  Or, they could even impose a "napkin limit" on customers to keep that cost in check.

(2) We don't eat at McDonald's - period.  I have not eaten at McDonald's in over 11 years.  We only very RARELY eat ANY fast food.  A couple of years ago, we went almost a whole year without eating at ANY restaurant (in the whole year, I think we ate out only 2 or 3 times). Your method would not work for us.

(3) You could avoid buying paper napkins by using cloth napkins.

Sorry...just one of those "let's be contrarian" moods.  It's one of my quirks.

People have said my sense of humor is annoying.

I might on a rare occassion go through a drive-thru and order through a speaker and after placing the order mention that I'd like that "to go". You have to be careful doing this because they could tamper with your food if they take it the wrong way.

Or go to the supermarket and tell people while waiting at check out that "Tommorrow is free food day at __________".

Or may suggest to someone that I'm an anarchist and spend my days off slowing down the economy by driving purposely below the speed limit causing deliveries nationally to be delayed which would cause a slow down in the economy and potentially a reccession. While also stating that this is why they have increased the speed limit to 65 mph in many place to boost the economy. I'd say this with a straight face. People don't know how to take it till I snicker for a moment. Then they realise I'm joking.

As far as napkins go.............How do you feel about this Ash?

First of all, I love the first one.  That's one we would pull on people in high school.  Whoever was driving/ordering at the drive through would always be told by one us in the car to say "to go".  They would then do so without realizing.

Also used to take empty soda pop bottles to work and fill 'em with soft soap to do my dishes and laundry. Used it to wash my hair too.
 I lived outside in NYC for about 3 months with my pal Joey...we used to order pizza fon take out...at closing time the pizzareia would toss all orders not picked up...we would watch and when the pizza was dumped into the bin...we would climb in and get our food! Nasty...yeah..but we we're starving.

Even elderly relatives of mine who have bladder control problems, prostate problems & adult diapers tend to complain about how I'm always having to go, even when we're not driving anywhere.

It's been that way my whole life. Even when I was a kid, the teachers would always call my mom to complain that I had to go more than anybody else.

Most supermarkets discount their prices right before closing time.  I"ve heard of people buying bread for less than $1 per loaf.

As for the napkins thing, they're not free.  Their purchase is built into the cost of your meal when you buy it.  It's a pet peeve of mine when retailers say "spend $200 and get this doovalackey for free!!!!"  And the sheeple think, "what a bargain!".  And there is nothing wrong with being cheap/frugal/thrifty whatever.  If it works for you, go with it.

When I grocery shop, I buy double of everything and put one away for a rainy day.  I consider it part of my "income protection plan" in case something happens to me and I can't work for a while.  At least my son and I will have food until I could get myself back on my feet.

Okay, I've read them all.  BELA gets the cigar for most disgusting, er, "baddest" behaviour (yeh, who hasn't done the one nostril blow..., but in public?  And is that down your jacket?)   :question: :twirl: :bouncegiggle: :tongueout:

Ash, you cheap f*ck.   :bouncegiggle: :drink:  (I always take more napkins than I need... gotta keep 'em in the car for when I do the one-nostril-blow.)  

Who started about kids?  Well, kids are people, and as several posters commented, I have a mysanthropic streak, too.  However, I only can't stand being around BRATS.  My neighbor scolded her son, the one she calls the "demon child" in front of me, he danced around her, calling her names, threw himself on the ground screaming and kicking... ugh.  I quietly confided to her, "I can't take this," and walked away.  But what makes me a bad person is when I am around child performers, particularly child singers.  I cannot abide to watch or listen to children sing.  Exeunt stage left.

I'm intolerant.
I'm intolerant of stupidity.
I'm intolerant of slacker, moochers, deadbeats and the like.
I have ZERO time for excuses, I don't want to hear them, don't start.
And as shocking as it may seem, I'm outspoken and opinionated.
So if you have 25 items in the 20 item express checkout, I'll say something.

Ok back to the negativity.  On the flip side of kids, I absolutely hate certain old people.  I think there are two different types of old people in the world.  One, the cool happening old folk who are still living their lives on a decent pace.  To me they're cool.  Then there are the old folk who I think are waiting to die and are simply taking up space in the meantime.  These are the ones who are always in front of me in the supermarket taking their sweet old time holding a 10 minute conversation with the clerk.   They're also the ones I get stuck behind on the road. 

Oh have I mentioned I'm also immensely inpatient.

It's important to entertain yourself and others. Here are some more from my bag of supposedly annoying humor.

When ever someone drops something which can be anything from a dropping a pen or breaking something like a drinking glass. I will sharply and sometimes casually but not overly loud say "Telephone" as if the phone is ringing. Just try it and watch peoples reactions. There is something about peoples urgency to answer a telephone. This one is always lots of fun. This also works great when someone blows their car horn real loud and you have people in the car with you and you say "telephone" right after an irrate horn blast. The reaction is usually a bewildered pause and then laughter.

Another thing I like to do when someone is near and usually mentally preocuppied with something else is to start physically handing them things/objects by hand with a slight motion or quite verbal request until they have their arms full and they can't figure out what is going on. Suddenly they wake up and say "What in the world am I doing". Picture them standing there completely confused holding an array of things in their arms. It's always self indulgent entertainment.

After paying for my groceries at the store I like to ask the cashier directly for just one more question even though I have not asked any questions as of yet saying "I have just one more question. Do you know where I parked?". It's really unique to my new grocery store since we moved as we have two distant exits. I'll say  "I have just one more question. Which way did I park?" I always get a good gaffaw from my audience.

Sometimes I'll tell someone in the meat section of the grocery store who's looking to buy some meat. I wish they would put sound effects at each section of the department when you entered the area. When approaching the beef section the speaker would play a "moo, moo.....moooooooo" sound, chicken section would "cluck, cluck, cluck", and the pork section would "Oink........oink..oink", and the cash registar would have an exaggerated "Ka Ching".

This is why I am "bad" and this is why you should not hang out with me. 

Many are deprived of truely great humor and experiencing these tidbits of humor they are still deprived.

I have no shame. Like this one time I had to blow my nose really bad on the F train and had no tissues or napkins, so my friend had some salad and offered me half joking a piece of lettuce to blow my noise. And I tend to drink beer in the oddest place like the bus or the trains. Great way to have people not sit next to you.

I'm pretty anti-social myself. Takes awhile to warm up to someone and I always feel I'm in the way.

I'm intolerant.
I'm intolerant of stupidity.
I'm intolerant of slacker, moochers, deadbeats and the like.
I have ZERO time for excuses, I don't want to hear them, don't start.
And as shocking as it may seem, I'm outspoken and opinionated.
So if you have 25 items in the 20 item express checkout, I'll say something.
There might be more ... 

I must agree with you.  There are many MANY stupid people that I am forced to interact with, seriously if you cannot cross multiply you should not be in high school.

 I would drink ANYWHERE. I could be in the waiting room of a hospital and I would pull out a half pint of whiskey and take a shot. I would drink on the street, in grocery stores,malls,movie theaters (especially movie theaters!) ...anywhere. I got wasted on a train from Kalamazoo to NYC once. You could had poured me out the door at once we hit Port Authority. I was quite a sight. I had real long stringy hair,a blue jean cut-off jacket with all sortsa weird stuff I had drawn on it with a black Sharpie,and a small boom box I had handcuffed to my wrist so I wouldn't lose it or get it snatched,playing Suicidal Tendiences as loud as it would go. Needless to say-I was targeted by the terminal security the second I got off the train. This was in about...oh...1989. I'm much more mature now. ( :lookingup:)

I’m no good at small talk. Those polite little conversations people carry on entirely for the sake of having a conversation. I’m generally a quiet person. I say what I need to say, or join a conversation if I have something of interest to add. When I’m around people I know, and actually have something to say to, I’m talkative. If I’m buying groceries, I’m not.

“How are you today?”

“Good.”

“That’s some weather.”

“Yes, it is.”

And so on. Bring up a real topic and I can go on and on, but I can’t just talk for the sake of talking. Not a personal stand or anything. I just can’t do it.

And it really irks me when some extrovert will sense that I’m reluctant to talk and try to put me at ease and draw me out. That usually just seems forced and uncomfortable.

I can do genuine conversation, just not small talk. And I’ve been catching flak about it for years.

Here we go... :buggedout:

I hate teenagers. I have for a long time. I even hated them when *I* was a teenager. Everytime I saw them, I immediately thought: "Damn thugs again!"

I'm a huge hypocrite. I do all kinds of things that I tell other people not to do. Except for smoking. Somehow I have managed not to get hooked on that yet.

I hate babies. They gross me out. I don't dare touch one until I know it's had a sufficient amount of baths. I didn't touch my nephew until he was at least two years old. It felt safe eventually to. All because of where they come from. People always say, "Well you came from the same kind of place!" and I always say in defence, "Well I didn't realize it until years later! I couldn't have known at the time! I'm innocent!" This is an example of more hypocrisy that I'm quite all right with.

I've always been really shaky around germy situations. I was recently diagnosed with OCD and given meds, but before that it was a huge problem in my life. People used to tease me up until now. One time I ate some of my grandma's leftovers and then I made myself sick. She asked me what was wrong, and I told her, "I just ate your food that was in the fridge, only I didn't know it was from your plate. I can't drive the thoughts away of what I just did." I think I made her feel bad. It was unintentional. I told her it was nothing personal, because I'm that way with everyone, but I still feel bad for wording it like that. I was too hasty. I seem to be able to conjure up the courage to share a bong, but so far nothing else.

I'm shy and have a hard time warming up to most people right away, which I guess makes me come off as arrogant. It's even worse when I'm depressed, even if I haven't reached a point of being deeply angry at being in a depressed state. On top of that, I have no tolerance for stating the obvious in conversation, I try not to say something that I think the people I'm talking to are already aware of. Of course I'm often wrong about what is obvious to others. Plus I get irritated when they start talking about the obvious. One of my bosses has been annoying me (without knowing it) with his repeated conversations about the snowfall we DIDN'T get. It didn't happen, the weather men on TV got it wrong, they do that a lot, move the hell on.

I'm pretty easy going about what adults do with their lives for the most part, as long as personal responsibility for the consequences is accepted or at least acknowledged. But since I hate smoking in general (it helped kill my dad at an early age and I had bad allergies growing up) and my early encounters with pot were negative, I loathe stoners or people I think are stereotypical heshers. So anything I tend associate with pot or potheads p**ses me off: hooded eyes, goofy stoner laughs, people who start every sentence with "hey, man", the Grateful Dead and all aspects of Dead "culture", hacky sacks, reggae music, dreadlocks on non-Rastas, rabid Jack Johnson fans (his music is good to mellow out to at times, but it is all the damn same), hemp clothing, tie dye clothing, etc.

It didn't help that we had a small circle of stoners at work a few years ago, who spent half the night talking about how much they couldn't wait to fire one up when they got off work. When your life revolves around weed, you need to get the hell away from me.

Being an atheist automatically makes me a "bad" person to lots of people.

There are a couple things.
My tendency to laugh at really un-PC jokes. I shan't post them here for fear of being banned.
Being a teenager.
Being a teenager, who doesn't drink or smoke, and has good grammar whilst writing on the internet.
Being a teenager who knows who Stanley Kubrick is.
Being an atheist who is tolerant of other people's beliefs, and doesn't ever mock religious people, yet underneath it all thinks that it's quite silly.
Getting angry at people who thought that the Blair Witch/The Shining/Sin City was/were boring.
There you go, there are my flaws as a human being. Do with them as you wish. :teddyr:

Don't feel bad, Threnody.  Germs can be killers.  If someone uses my mouse at work to show me something, I immediately get those alcohol screen wipes and give it a thorough going over.  I don't like it when strangers touch me, even if it's just my clothes.

I don't share food with anybody and I'm very particular about my bathroom and kitchen being clean and disinfected.  And I definitely don't eat out unless I can see the kitchen and the workers inside.  Some of the pubs are like that here and those places are okay.  But when you think that by the time the food gets from the kitchen to you, it generally has several people's DNA all over it   :buggedout:

Having said that, I haven't eaten out anywhere in over a year.

I'm very similar, I spend most of time at school in the bathroom washing my hands, you should see them in winter, very chapped.

Post by: Killer Bees on February 04, 2008, 06:23:40 PM
Just remember also, that your body is very efficient at getting rid of germs and such, so ultra cleanliness isn't really necessary.  Having your hands chapped and red isn't good for the skin because the surface breaks and cracks and it can leave you open to infection.  I'm not trying to freak you out, I'm just saying that you can stay clean and healthy without doing damage to yourself.

If you keep a tube of hand cream in your bag/satchel/whatever, the chapped thing should disappear.  Even Vaseline is good.  But use a small amount, otherwise you'll feel greasy.

My philosophy is, anything that I can't see can't hurt me.  I eat at whatever restaurant I want and don't even really care what their kitchen looks like, or if the waiters wash their hands or not . . . . and I very rarely get sick, although I have gotten rather fat.

Let's see.. bad stuff...

I have a sick sense of humor... not like ultra cruel, but just unPC and sometimes I laugh at s**t I really shouldn't.  Not in public mind you, but often in private. 

I have trouble remembering other people's birthdays... including my siblings, my mom and stepdad, etc.  Yet, it bugs me when they don't remember MY birthday, and I'm not even really wanting presents, just acknowledgment that someone knows I exist...
