Weird People and the Things They Do
Written by RogerCP | Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
On a day to day basis it’s amazing the things you see people do. To them it seems normal but some things are just so damn strange.
The weird thing about this post is I actually just dreamt it up, and remembered in my dream some of the weird things I’ve seen people do and thinking I should write this down, but couldn’t since I was sleeping, so….
I used to work with this guy who would clean his contacts off by sticking them in his mouth and rubbing them with his tongue. His reasoning was there was no difference between what’s in your eyes and what’s in your mouth. Man I can’t imagine what kind of infection you could get from doing that as often as he did.
It always amazes me when I play golf with someone who thinks it’s ok to clean their golf ball off in their mouth. They just pop that sucker in their mouth to get the grass marks off. Some guy went to the hospital when I was younger after doing this. Yet, I see people do it all the time. Gross considering what fertilizer usually is, cow crap.
Man what else do I see that just amazes me. Ok, sorry Scott but I’m going to throw you under the bus on this one. Scott is my buddy who lives with me. One of the nicest but absolute strangest characters I’ve ever met. When the maids come in to clean the house they refuse to clean his room because it’s so gross. On top of that, he is the biggest cougar hunter I’ve ever seen. I’m not talking mid 30’s to 40’s but actual grandmothers! We’re in our mid 20’s.
Im not immune to the dumb disease as well. Surfing my whole life I’ve kind of gotten immune to the thought of sharks out in the water. If you’ve ever seen aerial views of sharks in Florida, chances are they are from a place called New Smyrna where I surfed all throughout college.
The waves are great but it’s undoubtedly the sharkiest waters on the east coast of Florida. People will get bit there, and nobody even cares they’ll just stay out surfing, me included. Unless it was an actual frenzy it never bothered me. There is even a sign when you pull up to drive on the beach that says “Caution: Dangerous sea life”. They might as well just say watch the fuck out, there are sharks all over the damn place. You always know it’s going to be bad because there’s this weird fishy musk you can smell when sharks are around, especially in the morning for some reason.
Speaking of which as Me and Matt were going surfing the other day some guy goes, watch out there’s lot of sharks out there. I told Matt not to worry we only have small ones up here. On the walk to the surf break we find this pretty damn big shark tooth in the sand.
Back to people doing strange things. We met this kid in the Bahamas at a Poker Tournament that had no problem blowing hundreds/thousands at the tables but when it came to eating he did what he called “door shopping”. Basically he went around to the hotel rooms where people would set out there leftover room service and take it back to the room. Fucking gross.
Anyways Im sure there’s a ton worse things you’ve seen people do, me as well I just can’t think of them right now!

Hahaha awesome post, I had some buddies in college that did some pretty weird shit. One time my friend goes into his room with a girl, about 10 minutes later the girl comes running out screaming like a psycho. Apparently, he was trying to showcase his samurai sword skills. So he was slashing up his room (which she was cool with I guess), and he decided to give the bed a good stab. The sword went straight through the mattress and hit the concrete, causing his hand to slide down the blade. He nearly cut his fingers off and blood was spraying out “Kill Bill” style. Ohhh good times

Just so he still has his 11th digit, I guess it turned out ok!

Wow this is a great post lol – can we put Bill Frist on the list of people who do dumb shit?
My best story is after I got a concussion trying backside 5’s on my wakeboard, I immediatly went out (glass eyed) and tried a new invert that I had never landed before.
I broke two ribs, this was in Illinois at MidwestWakeFest.
Now here is where it gets good, I go to the hospital and get a short of morphine, which is all they do for broken ribs I guess. All hopped up, I hop in my van and drive to a rail jam in Minneapolis – five hours away.
Spent the whole day acting bouncer for a summer time rail jam that involved bringing in tons of snow to a shop in the middle of July. Haha, what an idiot I was driving 400 miles immediatly after breaking two ribs, getting a shot of morphine, and being concussed lol.

Mike, Bill Frist already takes #1 for “corrupt senator” in Google after we linked bombed him after the UIGEA. Maybe we should have google bombed him for “idiot” instead.

Haha, I never knew you guys link bombed him until just now – I found it via search at the CAP forums lol.
Oh what I wouldn’t have given to be around for that wild ride that was 05/06/07, you guys had it so easy!
