Subject: Strange things that always seem to happen to you...
Does something strange always seem to happen to you? Not anyone else, just you?
For some reason, I constantly get hit on. By gay teenagers. I'm not joking. I'll walk down a hall in school, and all of a sudden, one of the gay students is walking beside me, complimenting me, asking me what I'm doing after school, etc. I shoot them down with the line "I'm not gay.", and they seem startled. This has not just happened at school. Concerts, plays, musicals, hell, even walking down Newbury street in Boston. None of my friends notice it, or even seem to care. It's just... odd.
Does anything odd happen to you, and you alone, my fellow Dakkanauts?

I can never seem to find trousers that fit comfortably in the crotch region. They're always way too tight.
Seriously though, no matter what time I go or what movie it is I will also end up sitting within 2 seats of the loudest donkey-cave in the theater who will not shut the hell up. Every time, man.

Everyone always seem to know me, but i don't know them. They'll just walk up next to me and start
talking about me. I wonder how they know so much about me? And the entire time i'm thinking:
"who the hell is this?"

I wont hear from anyone for weeks and then one day, usually when I have something planned, everyone comes out of the woodwork wanting me to be in several places at the same time.

Dude, Gay students plural? In your Highschool? Gosh i am behind the times, gay people in my day didnt know what they were till they leave home.... Weird things? I always get the chance or second chance to chat up a girl i met who i thought was cute. Remember one day smiling at a girl behind the counter at a clothes shop, by the next week i was round her house because a friend knew her.

Apart from scarily accurate deja vu, the ability to hear above the average for most people (you know those infrared things people stick in their lawns to deter cats by emitting a certain frequency when the infrared beam is broken? Those things make me want to tear my head off when I hear them, but nobody else is affected), obtaining strange injuries and illnesses that appear out of nowhere, spiders converging on my location when I enter a room with one in it (followed by me backing away and jamming the door shut when I get out), when a good thing happens, a bad things has to happen that undoes the good thing and is backed up by several more bad things to grind it into the dirt...
The list is endless.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Oh another one, i can always get moggles and various other animals to come over to me (By making the same kissing noise and holding out my hand) but most the time they stay about a meter away and just stare at me. This ability is perfectly innocent but is hard to describe without sounding slightly suspect.

You'll also note that it is faster, and more generally athletic than the brown squirrels.
I hear they're terrific dancers....

Yeah, there IS one weird thing that keeps happening to me: There's this kid at my school, he looks kind of lonely. I always see him walking around the hall on his own, so every once in a while, I'll walk up to him, ask him what he's doing after school... Just to make friendly conversation. Sometimes, when he's looking especially gloomy, I'll give him a little compliment - hey, maybe it'll give the little fella a boost and brighten up his day? Weird thing is, every time I do this he just shrieks 'I'M NOT GAY!' and runs off. It's kinda startling.
Whenever I'd go on a night out with a wingman we'd end up scoring, and where I would surely move on after a brief fling my wingman would end up marrying the winggirl he was meant to occupy for a night. It's happened 4 times. Plus I would reform people with good advice and not follow it myself and watch them go on to become successful while I wallow in my own crapulence.
All praise the Omnissiah!

Quite often, I unconsciously read my mothers mind. Such as a few days ago, I suddenly felt that I wanted to eat danish pastry. So I call her and ask her to buy it when she leaves her job, and then she tells me that is exactly whatshe and her workmate is eating. And this kind of thing has happened several times before.

As do I - and not just when looking at the same threads popping op over and over again
Sometimes the sense of deja vu is so strong it is almost a physical blow. I think the Agents are coming now, so I had better run...

I get the sexy look from female cashiers ALL the time. My wife thinks Im making it up, and sometimes I think I am, but everytime I doubt myself as "oh Im just over thinking it" POW another one will do this. It never happened before I met my wife, or I wouldnt of met her if you get my drift *nudge nudge*
I also get deja vu, not ALOT, but often enough. And its almost dizzying when that happens.
I get the worst of luck. Ill have to do a 20 minute brake job on the car, and itll turn into a 2 hour ordeal. I swear once, I simply was changing the oil, big deal right? Ya, 3 hours later, I finally came in the house to clean up. Oil change. 3 Hours. WTF?
On the bad luck thing again, I almost always pass my LD tests. Why? Because I roll so poorly, that Im at least good at that. I blew up my own boomgun once, with that very same boomgun. How do you do that?!
I also never find money in pockets, I find bills.

Yeah dude, how do you know they aren't just trying to be friendly? (@ Chowderhead)
I can't seem to hold a job for longer than one year. The first job I had, Stockboy, I quit because of school getting in the way, and then my boss wouldn't hire me back the next summer. The Second Job, Dietary Aid at the local hospital, I quit due to family matters and my boss was a real about it. Third Job, Cafe Dishwasher, my bosses moved back to California, and I am now working as a stockboy again. Hit the three month mark, wondering what will happen in the next nine
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

Good luck Slarg, Im one of those guys that hates having a boss, they always seem to just have no real clue of what the hell they are doing. Its rare for me to actually work with a boss type, and think man this person knows what they are doing.
Ive tried just being the lowest on the ladder, I dont care just give me a paycheck employee possible. But it never fails, I end up suggesting things and then its dumb bosses asking lowly KC employee what my opinion is. Sometimes having a brain that can pump out fixes can bite you in the ass
