Grr!!! Some people are so STUPID!! - Thirdgen89GTA - 10-01-2006
This is a rant, so feel free it ignore it if you want.
Has anyone ever run across an adult who saw you running your stuff and said thats fast? Well, okay we've all seen them, but how about when they don't leave you alone, EVER. They they go on about how they are going to build their Tyco RC to be as fast as your car and how it'll be so much better.
I've run across a man in his 40's who lives with his father, says he can do it all. He tells me he can build a muffler for my jammin that will muffle it better than the tuned pipe will, but I might lose power. He doesn't understand that the tuned pipe works a specific way! Without it, the car won't run properly.
Now he shows me a ms. budweiser/lumar shell that he turned into a TUG BOAT?!?!! And he's going electric, and doesn't think he needs a rudder or outdrive if he wants to run it at any decent speed.
Ofcourse, he used to work with boats too, but he had one fall on him and crush his spine, but he taught himself to walk again, and he's an expert in anything you can come up with.
You know what the worst part is? He doesn't shut up, and he lives RIGHT across the street! ARGH!!! I can't go 2 days without him approaching me like a 5yr old and talking non stop asking advice about things I say I don't know anything about. However in the end, he wouldn't listen to any advice i gave him anyways!
So I finally acted like an asshole today and basically told him I wasn't interested in giving RC advice to stalkers who don't listen to advice even when they ask for it. AND HE'S STILL WAITING OUTSIDE HIS APARTMENT FOR ME TO COME OUT AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Damned SCARY crazy dude.

I swear he's stalking me! It never fails, whenever I walk out with my crap to go tune the car in the parking lot he's there!
He's scary, I mean really scary. He lives with his father, a 40yr old man, who doesn't work, doesn't have at least an apartment, yet spends all this money on toys. His father supports him and this guy should be capable of at least getting a job SOMEWHERE.
The man just screams BS with everything he says.

People let me tall you 'bout my beeeeest frieeeend.....Hes a one boy cuddly toy, my ups my downs my pride and joy...beeeeest frieeeeend.
No, seriously. This dude has a mental illness. Probably schizophrenia. I see it all the time. The ones lucky enough to have living family members to look after them stay out of state hospitals and nursing homes. Believe me, he sounds unemployable, and is lucky to have a home.
At least 99% of people with mental illnesses are not dangerous and pose no threat to themselves or others. Rather, they just act very very strangely. They will not understand "hints" that they are bothering you. If he wears out his welcome, you can simply say. "I just don't feel like talking right now. I'm busy tuning my truck". "Please keep your distance while I am working on my car". You don't have to worry so much about offending him, because he will better understand a concrete statement.

No, he's normal, well, annoying but not strange in the head. I have taught for the past 10 years part time and saw my share of metal handicaps and dissabilities. Everything from calcium deficiencies to full blown autism when we were mainstreaming them. He doesn't seem BiPolar, just clingy.
I guess you could say he's too forward and intense. I don't mind talking to people when I work on my stuff, or even giving advice and helping people. This guy just asks for advice but never shuts up or listens to the advice. And he spews so much BS trying to impress me with and doesn't realise that I'm not falling for it.
He's basically a Trash Talker who knows everything. So I gave him the cold shoulder and walked away. I don't expect people to follow my advice, its not a rule and I don't know everything. But if you ask for it, at least consider what I've said.

I agree with Mikeh...
Just remember even though hes as annoying as all hell ya gotta have some compassion for someone that just doesnt have the ability to be like everyone else. Sounds like ya just gotta smile and nod and not let him get under your skin

Seriously though, any grown man who lives with his father and displays the kind of behavior your describing is not normal. I have been a mental health clinitian for 9 years and this is textbook. When you say to him,"I dont like to give advice to people who wont take it" he thinks, yeah, neither would I. He does not understand that you are talking about him. If you give him the cold shoulder, he will wait patiently, he just does not have the mental ability to get it. You must be absolutely clear about what you say, He will not be hurt, he likely just does not get it. Otherwise, be ready to enjoy the company of your new best friend.
