I’ll second the left-handed golfers one – even though I’m left-handed I play(ed) golf right-handed. I feel like I need to watch the TV in a mirror every time I watch Phil Mickleson play. It’s just wrong.
All those screaming teenagers waiting for Binners to leave the hotel, so they can grab his hair.
Why don’t they just drug a maid, put her clothes on and get his hair from the plug hole. It’s much more civilized
I went to a mcdonalds on the A3 in Hampshire, there were police and squaddies in there…felt really weird…
I can’t think of a time I’ve been to a mcdonalds and there hasn’t been the police in there – I thought it was just a natural waiting ground, helped but the fact they get free food…
Squaddies walking around in their uniforms…I mean, why wouldn’t they? (my dad did after all) but it’s just odd when I see them in largely civilian settings somehow.
And a “things that mess with your head sort of way” when you try to grasp the length of time humans have been knocking about on the planet, (2 millions years or so) and the space that we occupy is mostly the same spaces that they did…
You would not believe how many kabaddi players there are.
had to google it…. wtf… like some weird, slightly homo-erotic school boy game of tag.
Years and years ago Channel 4 used to televise Kabaddi late at night. Post pub (after the loooong walk home I used to have to do) its was basically either Kabaddi or Ceefax on the telly when I got home. It took quite a long time (and by that I mean several weeks) for me to suddenly realise ‘hang on, this game doesn’t seem to involve a ball’
well, in a thread entitled “Normal everyday things that mess with your mind” merely saying Gay people and leaving it at that seems, at the very least, a little short on information about why?
Gay people.

I suspect that he means that while he has no problem with gay people, the concept of gayness ‘messes with his mind’, as per the thread title. Which is fair enough. Those people who have said they get weirded out watching left-handed golfers, no-one jumped to any conclusions about them being bigoted towards left-handed golfers. This is much the same, I suspect. It’s perfectly possible to not get your head around being attracted to your own gender, but also to have no problem accepting that being gay exists and is nothing to be concerned about.
[edit – the confusion probably arose because some folk have gone OT and started posting about “things they don’t like, that other people do” rather than concepts that they struggle to grasp.
🙂 Sorry, I’m quite enjoying this thread and didn’t want it to descend into an anti-homophobia argument (apologies to essel for ruining his excellent trolling 😆 )

‘Messing with my mind’ is probably an overstatement, I just don’t get it, like a lot of stuff on here. Squaddies in uniforms for instance, I live 2 miles from an RAF base & often see military staff in uniform in Morrisons, so what?
People who stand still on escalators.
Why are they called escalators & not ‘speed stairs’?
Here’s 2 blokes, one’s gay & the other isn’t. They love each other dearly. Who’s the gay one?

Ring doughnuts have only one side and thought to be the shape of the universe as no matter what direction you set off in you get to your start point. Was on bbc 4 so must be true.
It’s good though that he’s accepted that it’s actually perfectly normal and that it’s him that has the problem, innit?

And that right there is why anyone in the UK knows what kabaddi is. It’s like when channel 5 used to have the x-games and suddenly every student, pisshead and stoner in the country had an opinion on skidoo racing. Or that thing channel 4 used to show at 4am that was nothing but videos of spaceships taking off, to try and stop people coming in from clubs from chewing their own faces off (I think they did other versions but in my head it was all spaceships)

A fe years ago we got a visual editing (V-dj’s) company in to do 3 humoungus video screens at our dance tents at the wickerman festival, i recognised clips of that show ^ and mentioned it to the VJ’s – turns out that it was his company that produced and sold them to C4.
That year we were very popular with a 500+ person queue (one in – one out) to get into our large marquees… 😀
Married people, regardless of gay or not gay. Why!
No one is interesting enough to spend the next sixty years of your life with.
