People do some weird stuff!!!! Myself included!
Currently its stupid photos from nights out that I find particularly annoying. I don't have a clue what I'm doing in them and look like a complete and utter fool! At least I can blame that on drink though and who doesn't have incredibly stupid picture of them when they where a little worse for wear?
Speaking of photos, cameras are another annoyance. I love taking pictures when there is something to take pictures of or there is a special event, but some people just take pictures of anything and that is bloody annoying! Oh lets take a picture of us on this generic street corner together, smile! Lets have a group photo right in the middle of our meal at a restaurant for no particular reason, cheese! I'm not saying camera use should be banned but maybe the use of cameras should be limited, especially on non special occasion nights out, non special event meals or just generally on random streets. By doing this it would also limit the amount of stupid photos I would see of myself acting like a tit on nights out!
However these things I mentioned are OK because everyone does it and its OK to make a bit of a tit of yourself when your with your friends.
Its when people are on their own and don't know they are making a tit of themselves it is extremely amusing. I've talked before about parenting styles and guilty pleasures but my trip into Manchester yesterday brought about some fantastic examples of people being down right weird!
Firstly we had the classic blasting music out on a mobile phone, why is it that they always play absolute garbage, usually happy hardcore or some bouncy club tunes, its not good music and makes you look like an absolute idiot!
The second is in fact two tales of people on mobile phones on the train! Usually its just a normal conversation, "I'm on the train","I'll be back in 20 minutes". I don't mind this as it usually has to be done but now on two occasions I've seen twists to this process that make people look ridiculous. The first one was on the way home from Manchester the other week, quite late on, a girl was a bit drunk on the phone and a bit loud which got a few looks, she didn't take kindly to one such look from another girl and a cat fight was on the cards for about 20mins until one got off with the other one saying"sort your life out!" as if talking loudly on your mobile whilst drunk was a reason to "sort your life out!". The second one was yesterday where a young guy was talking to his friend on the phone, whilst the train was at a station. The twist was his mate was stood outside on the platform!!! They had a five minute conversation on a mobile literally 3 metres apart, one on the train and one on the platform, waving at each other through the Glass whilst still on the phone. Maybe they had just got mobiles for the first time and thought it was like magic that they could speak to each other from such a huge distance apart or maybe they where just idiots!
Another train idiot was another young guy who waiting to get off the train. Sane people would just stand there and wait but this innovator used the head rests of the aisle seats as triceps dip bars and decided to multitask his wait with getting fit. Whilst he could be commended for trying to get fit and healthy, he did look like an prize idiot!
Finally a fully grown man said "whatever" in a 13 year old girl style and then proceeded to make the 'w' sign with his hands!!! Unbelievable!
