Not long ago, my boss's boss joined a decent-sized crowd of people who deem me eccentric. I'd like to know why other FReepers are considered idiosyncratic (if you don't mind sharing).

No offense, but going to work nekkid with a bazooka and an inflatable seahorse around your waist might have something to do with it. That turned out to be my problem...

[garyhope]

As happily part of "The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy", count me in.

[Born to Conserve]

I wear a blindfold and earplugs at work. That way I can remain unaware of my eccentricities.

No kazoo? That's gotten me canned from any number of jobs, especially when I play Sousa and march around the office and spell out words, just like a marching band.

Will not walk around my house with shoes on that have been worn on the street- - -always dot my i's- - -Guess I'm compulsive, not eccentric.

Obviously you work for the wrong people. Nobody thought twice when I did that.

[BADJOE]

Who. Me !!!!????

With a name like mine?

No way. : ) : )

Are you eccentric?

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

At least. I curse with proficiency in five or six languages at 120 db. Hence I don't go around churches or church groups. I carry chop sticks into Italian restaurants. I'm getting old and funny-looking. I talk to certain breeds of dogs in dog language --and they understand and like it. My ideas are often expressed with an unadorned directness which scares people. My automobile is old, ugly, and has a bad exhaust pipe. I keep it because it reminds me of me and has the same problems I do.

Not as long as I don't post pictures of myself dressed-up as an action-figure....

[JRandomFreeper]

Nobody thought twice when I did that.

You work for a Swedish company too? Nothing seems to suprise the Swedes.

Are you eccentric?

Yes. I often point out seemingly unrelated bits of information that turn out later to be---in fact---related.

[rintense]

No. I'm normal. Everyone else is f**ked up.

If you are rich, you are eccentric. If not, you're crazy.

[michigander]

They tell me I don't play well with others.

As near as I've been able to tell, that means I'm not shy about expressing my opinion without a coating of sugar and they can't handle the truth.

[ZOOKER]

Are you eccentric?

It's common knowledge that only rich people can be "eccentric", poor people are just crazy.

So I guess my answer is NO.

[beowolf]

I am not eccentric, everyone else is!!!

[blackdog]

Eccentric, paranoid, doubtful, querky, genuine, All good qualities. Your boss calling you eccentric, only means he/she has not figured you out. You just keep em guessing.

[Mental Floss]

Are you eccentric?

No...but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night...

[rabidralph]

I spell everything correctly.
