A few years ago after a five mile trail run I went to McDonalds and got free food. I'm pretty sure it's because the cashier, or the person ahead of me in line, thought I was homeless. Moridin's right. There are advantages to looking like a poor/a crazy.

And this, he thinks, is a better idea than saying a sentence at them. Astounding.
His brazenness increased over time. A few months after that he followed some poor girl around a nightclub for 20 minutes straight until her boyfriend physically threatened him to stop. We only know this because he proudly told us the whole sordid tale, including the amazing phrase "I would've beaten him up but he was too big." He was utterly serious about this and took great pride in it. Hard to believe but it's completely true. We often thought we must be on some candid camera show with the poo poo this guy was saying and doing.

At the end of the first year I got sick of him and gave him a piece of my mind. He left in a sulk and a few days later went on an hour-long rant to my friend about his amazing plan to destroy my greatest achievement and exact revenge - by making a better videogame than I could.

There's no end to the laffs this guy provided during my college years. He was so funny by virtue of being terrible that I was honestly sad to see him go by the end. :shobon:

We had a real piece of work in our college class. At first we thought he was just awkward, but one sunny day me and a friend ending up sitting behind him on a city bus by coincidence. He didn't know we were there and we wound up witnessing something pretty disturbing. He stood next to two girls, they were standing in an alcove beside him talking to each other and he was in the middle aisle. He keeps looking at them every couple of minutes in between cramming his phone right into his eyeballs. Oddly his phone seems to be blank. With his greasy asscrack hanging out of his pants, he begins to turn his butt towards them while looking intently at his phone. Ever so slowly he begins to move backwards, gradually pressing his grotesque butt into contact with them, pretending not to notice they're behind him. This goes on for over a minute until the two girls are squashed together with his pasty rear end and can barely move. The girls start giving each other looks and stop talking, but he's blocking the way out. Finally, as we stare utterly dumbfounded, they manage to squeeze past him when the bus turns a sharp corner it moves him away towards the wall.

Now that's creepy.

We had a guy in my intro to psych class who was incredibly fat and only wore anime shirts and sweat pants. Anytime a girl would say anything in class, he'd raise his hand and comment on what she said. Every goddamn time. I loving hated him. One day he walked up to us and said "The Beatles say happiness is a warm gun but I think happiness is a bloody and warm golf club." We also had a fat girl who would sit back and spread her legs letting the smell of her rancid vagina hit anyone sitting near her and this goddamn creep would automatically sit next to her even if there were plenty of seats open but they never talked. I assume he was near her for the smell. Goddamn disgusting.

One time I flicked a spider into her hair. :)

Hey, homeless library goon also had a car!

Anyway, I agree with you that most people want to be friendly. I've had an experiment going on with a mustache that gets a lot of attention. Most of the time is positive attention, I've had many interesting conversations started because of it. Hell, it's even made interacting with immigration officers at airports a breeze, and managed to get smiles out of usually grim faced TSA employees. Every so often though, there's the bad attention, usually the odd group of late-teen/early-20s males. Fortunately when it happens it's mostly from afar so I can try to ignore them and live my life.

Only once I've had anyone actually say something negative. A 50-ish year old woman come over in a bar once, she asked me if it was real and then proceeded to tell me to shave it off. I later told my wife about it and she was like "the gently caress's her problem?". And yeah, what do I care what the woman thought, as long as the woman that sleeps with me is cool with it.

Attractive guys can be creepy of course. It's objectively less common because they almost always have superior social skills and they are given more chances as attractive women are, but it happens.

The thought did cross my mind, but I wasn't interested so told her that my wife actually loved it. "She doesn't, she just says that because she loves you, but she does NOT love that mustache", as she left she said something about her husband who was sitting somewhere else in the bar. Maybe they were looking for some team action, dunno.

When I was in high school, one of my friends didn't like this guy I went out with for a while, and one of his complaints about the guy was "The only reason he has all those muscles is because he spends all kinds of time at the gym! He's not just like that normally! If he stopped working out then he wouldn't look like that!

Apparently an hour and a half of weight training every other day with jogging days in between is "all kinds of time at the gym."

I fell in love with my husband because he's funny as gently caress without being a lovely bigot, and we were able to talk about everything with each other. We were both goddamn messes appearance-wise and lived with our respective parents, couldn't drive, didn't have jobs, etc. but he's a genuinely nice, funny and interesting dude, and my only regret is not giving him my facebook/phone number before I got banned from SA :)

Someone said there wasn't a firm definition of "creepy", but there is. Creepy is still pretty well tied to "creeping" in the traditional sense. That is, to creep, to try to do things furtively (and therefore with limited risk). Mr. Butt Sandwich was being a creep because he was trying to force his butt onto women while pretending that wasn't his plan. He was being manipulative, taking advantage of plausible deniability even though he knew what he was doing. If he'd been like "I'm going to shove my butt against you!" he'd be an obnoxious rear end in a top hat, but not a creep. Standing outside a woman's dorm window and yelling "I love you, Sandy!!" might be obnoxious or even frightening, but it's not creepy. Sitting out in the bushes waiting for a peek of Sandy through the window is creepy. Creepy is about being furtive when other people are acting in good faith, and that's why it's frowned upon. A creep is not a worse person than an obnoxious rear end in a top hat per se, but it's its own thing.

That said, doing something "creepy" doesn't make you a creep, just like doing one rude thing doesn't make you a bastard. Everyone does some creepy things, because the world is scary. Some "creepy" behavior is just trying to scope things out, with the intention of avoiding awkwardness for yourself and for the other person. But it has to be balanced against interactions which are conducted in good faith. I don't think most people who are creepy mean to be, they're just very shy.

drat, I had a friend say almost the same thing about me. I worked an outdoors physical labor job the summer I was seventeen and when school was back in, some of my friends were commenting on my weight loss and tan. One really insecure friend said "So what? It's only because he was working outside all summer." Uh.

Also no loving idea but I sat next to her two days that semester and both times it was awful. The first was because I didn't know better and the second was because I was late and it was the only easy to get to seat I saw.

The thing is, barring some actual physical handicap, most people could do the same. You got in shape working outdoors? Your buddy could have picked up on that idea and volunteered to clear trails in a state/national forest or something on weekends and he would have had the same thing happen.

Unless she's shopping for baby clothes, at a baby shower and its made obvious that the baby shower is for her, or she's spread eagle with the kid crowning, you never EVER assume a woman is pregnant. Ever. Trust me on this.
