For me, it's this guy who's just completely obsessed with assassin's creed. He has painted 90% of his miniatures white with attempts of the assassin's symbol thing on things like shoulder pads.

Met a guy who claimed to have given a chick chlamydia on purpose and then disappeared for a while after a manhunt was started on him for apparently molesting a child.
He played nids.
I'm not entirely sure if that's related or not.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't know if that sounds too weird. Unless it's not a themed army and he actually paints everything from Tau to Orks to Lizardmen to Dwarfs white with the assassin's symbol thing. And he talks about it constantly and whistles the tunes and thinks assassins are actually like that...
Weirdest person I ever met in a hobby store is this guy.

Wow, where to start. After 25+ years of gaming/comics I've seen some Doozies!
One guy that sticks out, stunk so bad that the store employee followed him around with a can of air freshener and they eventually asked him to leave. I know it's kinda stereotypical but this guy took the cake for stinky gamer!
Another guy accidentally glued his skin to his models so they all looked like they had flock stuck to them. He would glue the bases on upside down and always railed against the army his opponent was playing as if it were the newest OP BS army to date (even when it was SOB or Orks). He also made anti-semitic remarks a lot and ranted about how Islam was superior to any western religion. A real gem he was.
We also have a hoarder gamer who collects ridiculous amounts of stuff for the most obscure games nobody has even played in the store. He constantly tries to steer any conversation towards said obscure game and tries to describe it to everyone (using game terms we know nothing about). Once I interrupted his babbling by looking at my opponent and saying "It's like he's speaking fething Japanese, isn't it?" He's a nice enough guy, but he NEVER shuts up. Once I abandoned a buddy to his fate when he was pinned down by this guy in the parking lot. He had followed us out to our cars all the while talking about a game we'd never even seen. My buddy literally had his door open with one foot in the car. I was in my car laughing at his predicament. He finally points over Talkyhoarder's shoulder hand says "Holy gak!" and then jumped into his car and sped away when the guy turned around to look.
He once brought in a giant box of Epic stuff on game night (nobody had played Epic in years). we were standing around talking when my buddy and I noticed several roaches crawling out of the box. We immediately picked our army bags up off of the same table. The army he had brought that night was Tyranids ironically!

I am not sure if I can claim weird or "jarring".
Late teen cross-dresser.
Likes bright print dresses.
Tended not to shave or wash well.
Was a bit toward the 300lb side.
Wore a tiny long strapped backpack with camouflage print.
Any other decorative items were Zelda symbols and the like.
Spoke with an interesting falsetto.
Was a big fan of MTG and 40k.
Reasonably smart, nice enough but would ask rather personal questions... appears to not have much by way of barriers.
Made gaming with her/him a bit uncomfortable because you did not know how far down the rabbit hole the conversation would get.
I tried to stick to the game at hand or talk about Zelda... was safer that way.
The person was also rather sensitive so it felt a little bit like walking into an emotional mine-field.
Games well enough so that is all that matters!

Me and my bestfriend took a trip to the only 'local' gamingstore we knew. Aftera two hour ride, picking our table and setting up my tau against his necrons we started chucking dice.
Everything seemed normal. Folks stopped by, checked out our models, we had a few good conversations. All typical delightful stuff.
And then this fat greasey kid clutching a binder approached. He instantly began gushing over my buds necron army. Spewing crazy facts and asking dozens of questions. Everything was compared to the Dark Heresey rpg.
"Well you see necrons in Dark Heresey are so much harder to kill having a 80% blah,blah,blah."
My patience was rapidly draining. Finally my friend made mention of the 'Megalyth', that joke model in a youtube video, the supposedly motorized one that would produce units.
"Oh yeah, I can't wait for that to come out!" Greasey kid announced.
I realized in that moment he was obviously 'special'. Instead of telling him to piss off, I calmly steered him away from the table and told him we were trying to concentrate.
He was seriously the weirdest fellow I have ever encountered in the hobby.

Probably the kid who used green stuff to assemble his army.
And I don't mean gap-filling, he used it as the adhesive.
When things inevitably didn't stick or fell apart?
ADD MOAR GREEN STUFF.
Army looked like green blobs. It was Orcs, so I guess it kinda fit...

well there was the guy who would put drops of blood in his red paint for khorne. He was told if he intentionally cut himself or made himself bleed again he would not be welcomed back.
There was a kid who used to take a knee and say a prayer to the lady of the lake with his brets before a game.
There was a guy who never played but always told you how gak your list was. This was not the weird/sad part. his 4 year old daughter would live in a stroller ALL day long. get nothing but chicken nuggets and soda in a BOTTLE. Then he would leave her unattended while he was outside chain smoking. Child services were eventually called.
the kid who in a fit glued his face to the paint bar. the fire department had to cut the counter off and take him to the hospital with it still stuck to his head.
The guy who applied to work at the shop then bought a metal bloodthirster and then satisfied that models need for blood. He was like a furious monkey beating his meat like a madman with a file that eventually slipped and with so much force it was driven right through his hand. from the palm out the back of it. Stellar job bro.
but the one thing that is the single most weird thing, hands down.

BAck in the 80s we had a a couple of older guys that liked to invite young teen boys over 16ish for DND and BEer, Later it turned out that they were gay and would get you drunk and hit on you.
As for TT minatures since i have been adult, are the POt heads that like to stop and run to get snacks.MAke for long game and the annoying zoning out.
Another good one but kinda Sad was the GAy 40k player that posted on Craigslist that he was looking for another GAy male 40k player to hook up with.
I guess these are not hobby store related but are gaming related.

Maybe not the weirdest person, but I have seen some weird things. On two occasions, I've seen people walk into a GW store, and then run out with a bunch of stuff under theirs arms, seconds later.
On one occasion, the manager gave chase, having clambered over a gaming table beforehand, crushing miniatures underfoot in the process!
It's a mad world!

Buddy and me were playing a game in "warehouse" section of the store, since the gaming area was packed. As we're deploying, I smell something that reeks like a dead skunk. There's lots of wildlife in the neighborhood of the store, so I start warily checking some of the aisles and back corners of the darkened back room just in case there's a skunk that's actually wandered in.
In the back corner, by the rear exit, it's all smokey and I see a guy darting back into the main gaming area. The dude was smoking weed in the back of the shop and figured no one would notice! Who needs a hit that bad that they can't either get stoned before they come to the store or get high afterwards?
Fething stoners.

Working in healthcare im a mandated reporter of suspected abuse/neglect. the kid was 4 and could hardly talk. meaning the kid was completely unengaged intellectually the majority of her life. If the store manager didn't call I would have. He moved away so we no longer see him but hopefully something changed though its doubtful

I have met some weirdos, to the Magic player that scratched his crack then went on playing, to the kid that, when I shook his hand, tickled it instead. but my "Favorite" is this story.
Long time posters know I used to be a brony, and this guy is why im no longer one lol.
So, we where sitting down to a game of path finder society(Basically, one off game of pathfinder that has set rules you cannot deviate from. and the players are Random people) that my friend is DMing. This big guy, like really big. Sits down. and what does he have? A Unicorn cleric of something. He has holes in his shirt, under his armpit is a hole, meaning we can see the stench. And he went.....wow was that just an experience. My friend messed with him the entire time. Like saying he couldnt open a door cause of hooves, to keeping him outside during most ofthe social stuff cause horses cant be in the house. To having people try to buy him because he is a talking unicorn.

Just gotta say, not everyone who is a "fething stoner" is gonna zone out or require twelve large bags of chips to play a game. In my experience, people who smoke weed and do things like that have a problem with self awareness before the weed is smoked, and the shift in psyche just makes it worse. I understand the type casting though, as the zone out and munchies thing is probably common and usually probably has weed behind it.
I've met people who smoke the stuff and have 0 noticeable change in how they deal with situations and others, and I've met people who change quite a bit under the influence. Being a "fething stoner" myself, I definitely place myself in the first category and somewhat resent being associated with that behaviour by extension. I have a large vocabulary both sober and after smoking, and even though I play daemons the game is hardly ever waiting on me or my book keeping and I would never light up in a public place and inconvenience others who don't use and dislike the smell or even being around it.
All I'm saying is, if the stoner is annoying you, chances are it's not the weed that is the problem, the person themselves may have some social drawbacks that are perhaps exacerbated by the use of Marijuana.

Preacher of the Emperor
At a Place, Making Dolls Great Again
|
It was because of gaming that I begun to become rather obsessive about being clean (as I have long hair I generally refuse to leave the house without washing it- and by extension showering, so it happens every day.
So I thank gamers for instilling a terror of being perceived as an unwashed weirdo (I'm just a weirdo but at least I smell nice).
So thankfully I never had a chance to develop into an unwashed gamer but I'd say the weirdest stories come from myself rather then anyone around me, and I've done some strange things, being a very strange person myself.
I remember fondly my cupcake Dark Eldar (an army painted in a horrid sort of drybrushed ice blue-tentacle pink overtop blood red and enchanted blue colour scheme. Siver was dry brushed up to Mithril so the entire thing was an assault on the eyes. Not badly painted but just insane.
Having traded so much in my local community once upon a time I could go into any gaming night and usually see something I owned (sometimes still sporting the paint job I'd given to it).
More recently, though it's not been taken poorly by anyone, for both Kings of War and Warhammer 40k instead of using dice for wound markers, I use tiny hot dogs, cookies, cups, they're doll house props and people think they're hilarious.
Once I think I took it a bit too far and had one of the little things sitting off to the side, didn't talk much about it, it just was there, which I think was worse.
Someone did ask about her and I said that "oh that's Takine, she just sits there" ...In actuality I had another thing planned with my doll collecting friends but I guess for some reason I wanted to look crazy and didn't realize it.
Who knows.
I do remember creeping out a GW employee when I tested one of the terrain pieces (the weird tower with a chair) with one of the dolls, but she didn't fit so I expressed my mild annoyance.
At least I'm aware I'm nuts though.

Stoners are narcissists. They love to tell you about the fact they smoke. Your post above kinda reinforces that stereotype: you had to tell me you smoke, amirite? I don't care if you smoke, but don't do it in a place of business. How hard is that to understand?

So just to be clear, if someone tries to correct an over generalization made by another person about a group the first person belongs to, that makes the first person a narcissist?
Got it.

I said I wouldn't do it in a place of business, and yeah I guess I did reinforce that stereotype, but I never really knew it existed. Most people don't brag about smoking in my immediate environment, it's just a thing you do or you don't do. Quite commonplace really.
I didn't have to tell you I smoked, I chose to because it would be implied anyway by the rest of my post, and because I don't mind being transparent about it here. But I don't tell people about it everywhere I go, and generally leave it out of conversation entirely. It's not an important part about who I am. I mostly use it to control my digestive issues, but I didn't really think anyone wanted to hear that.
I was mainly saying that not all people who smoke are going to act like that. I also agreed that it shouldn't be done in public. However you said nothing about my notion that the person most likely possesses social drawbacks that are exacerbated by the usage of Marijuana. You just called me a narcissist and applied that typecast to users as well. But I get it, now that you've said that I've met a few people who do love to tell you they smoke. It's annoying as well and I certainly didn't want to seem that way. Just seemed like type casting, that's all. However I do feel that those people brag about other things, too.
I'm not trying to pick a fight here. This is off topic anyway. I hope people wouldn't refuse a game with me based on those preconcieved notions of my ability to socially interact because of something I do. I'd much rather they refuse because of something I am.

Weird is definitely subjective, and if we're completely honest with ourselves all of us that frequent a game store for wargaming could be considered a little 'weird'.
So if I put myself at a baseline, I think the things I find weird at a gamestore scenario are things I'd find weird in life elsewhere. There's a guy at the store I frequent who definitively refutes deodorant. I'm convinced he chooses not to use it because he thinks it's evil or a health risk. I'm not going to argue the facts either way, Im not a scientist, but my working olfactory senses tell me there's a better way to be healthy.
Moreso than that anyone who rages I consider weird. I've thankfully only witnessed one rage/quit, and I don't ever want to more than once. It was a GW store, the guy was showing up after missing an entire edition of 40k, and when his Marines didn't function wholly as he remembered, he chucked them to the ground spouting curses before stomping out the door. That sort of thing just boggles my mind.

Was at a shop late with friends as the store was closing.
A fellow comes in, starts talking to the owner about how he's the Devil and Jesus trapped in one body, he's going to eventually bring about the end of the world, and lots of other crazy talk. Eventually he decided he'd said enough, and just walked back out the door.

So just to be clear, if someone tries to correct an over generalization made by another person about a group the first person belongs to, that makes the first person a narcissist?
Got it.
Apparently, you don't get it. Why do I have to defend a group and simulataneously belong to it (e.g, I don't care for anti-semites, but I'm not Jewish). Conversely, I can belong to the group I'm defending without bringing up the fact I belong to that group. But, stoners are narcissists, so they tend to broach the topic any time it's even remotely possible.

I walked in a saw this short bulky fellow with long black hair carrying four gw army cases. Wearing all black, including a leather trenchcoat. Beady eyes, chin beard, and leather motorcycle gloves. Weirdest person I ever saw I tell you. The fact he was staring at me from that mirror everytime I looked his way was dang creepy too.

Why is everyone wrong but you? And why does their choice to say they belong to the group mean anything more than the alternative choice, which is not to say it? You either say you do or you don't. Part of why I said I belonged to the group is so people could judge me for it. That doesn't sound narcissistic, i'm opening myself to criticism.
I've seen lots of threads like this that contain stuff about Marijuana users and also in places not wargaming related and haven't said anything at all. If you were correct in your generalizations, I wouldn't have been able to let those go.
This time I decide to say something and I get Dr. Armyman's psychoanalysis. It's seeming more like YOU are the narcissistic one, because you believe you're completely correct in your generalizations and won't have a say in this conversation that isn't rude and dismissive of a group of people, as well as the two here speaking with you.

I think it's time to let it go and get back on topic. If you're unhappy with my post, hit the yellow triangle of friendship or put me on ignore.
