People can be so wierd...

lazy man · 06-17-2004, 05:02 PM

We all know that people are strange, but I'm talking about when people react in a really stupid way to something harmless.

Take rain for example. There are some people who dance around when the rain starts and they don't have anything to cover themselves up with. Why should they react like that if they're just getting wet? How should I know? I'm one of the people who just stands and laughs as the person runs and seeks shelter in a completely harmless act of nature. I can be simpathetic if the person's wearing something expensive like a suit, but why do that in jeans and a t-shirt?

Now if you've seen something similar to this or worse, talk about it here.

I can only speak personally but water makes me melt.

In all honesty I am also one of those who does not run for cover in rain. Actually rain makes me really happy and sunshine gives me a headache. I need to go outside more.

Well, me and my friend once followed our vice-principal around the school toe-stepping and singing the soviet national anthem.

Not long afterward, we stood by the cafeteria and began singing, barber-shop style.

Sweet adaline!

rain is good. I don't run for cover but if there's some nearby 'll meander over.

This one time I was hanging out with a few friend of mine(girls but not girlfriends) and it started to rain. They also like to be in the rain so I just stayed with them awhile...did I mention they forgot they had white t-shirts on...that day the rain was my best friend :p

Here's a good example of a weird reaction:

My buddy Nic was in 6th grade on a rainy day. He kept mumbling "Is too dark," when all the lights in the classroom were on. The teacher eventually kicked him out into the dark, rainy outside. He then started running around in the rain, clutching his face yelling "ARRGH!!! It's too bright out here! IT BURNS!"

He was really trying to be annoying/funny, but I think he went too far...

Friend: Man I have no luck with girls. I get dates but they always break up with me right away.
*ring ring*
Me: Isn't that your cell phone?
Friend: Yeah *looks at phone* It's Lexi (his current G/F) "Hi honey...sorry I can't talk right now...'cause I'm playing Gamecube with the guys!...Well happy birthday...I'll call you later.

That's it, I can't hold it in any longer.

A few months ago, I was sleeping over at one of my friends houses after a party, (WrestleMania! WOOT!) My friend, who we call Billy-Bob was getting up in the middle of the night to go to the washroom, while me and another of our friends were on his computer. On his way to the loo, he stopped and glanced at the couch; then inexplicably, he yelled, in a high pitched voice:

"AAAHH!!! FUCKING GNOMES!!!"
and rushed into the bathroom and locked the door. we just stared at the closed door, and my buddy yelled to him, "are you Retarded?!"

apparently, my friend was convinced that there were 4 little gnomes sitting on the couch. and that they were starring at him. I still laugh when I think back on it.

When my grandmother visited us in California once, there was an earthquake, and all through it she loudly recited the Rosary, and continued to do so, under the dining room table, for a good five minutes after it ended.

When ever someone says something stupid opne thought always comes to mind. (Like the 20% of people that were interviewed on the streets of NYC that didn't know the earth orbited the sun.) At first its the normal "no one is that stupid" thought which is immediately replaced by the "My god, they are actually that stupid" thought.

So true. Until about last year, my sister believed that Scotland was an island east of Great Britain. at first I thought she meant Ireland, but nope; she thought that Ireland was on One side and Scotland was on the other. for the longest time I wondered if she had ever seen a map of Europe.
