If the security camera irritates you, walk up so it gets a really good view, then grin broadly and give it a quick, unobtrusive bird. If you're like me, it will cease to bother you after that.

Find a bench that has a good view of one of the more populated areas. Sit down, and go into observer mode. In half an hour, I guarantee you'll see so many fuckups and misfit toys that you'll feel normal by comparison.

Clothes shopping... there's really not much I can say about that. I hate it, and always have. Hehe. :P


I usually pretend to pick my nose in front of the security camera rather than give it the bird. I learned that trick from my brother. He also used to pick his nose when a girl he had no interest in would come and try to hit on him. We're a good-looking family. ;) I've never had to resort to picking my nose when men try to hit on me. I usually just truthfully tell tham that I have a b.s. in chemistry and they're intimidated enough to go away. This was before I got married of course. Now I'm never in such a situation anymore since I have kids in tow 99% of the time.

i wonder about this statement.

how can you tell NTs from people with aspergers just by looking?

Well.It's very simple. You have to observe them. My observations are normally right. so I usually catch on to who's what.

have you administered tests to each one?

i mean, lots of older aspies have learned coping stategies in order to mimic the people around us and blend in.

I like malls that have bookstores, movie stores, and video game stores. If I stay too long in a store I don't like I can get very annoying very quick.

All those preppy stores INSIDE the mall are for NTs...lol. In my opinion anyway. Thats just the way i see it.


Oh, hell yes. They're all the same inside. And full of gaggles of mindless twits who make entirely too much noise. :wink:

Things I do at the malls. Look in videogame stores and books. I hardly go into any clothing stores and toy stores. I spend most of my times in music stores, movies and videogaming.

I hate malls. I hate shopping and malls. I hate people and shopping and malls. Therefore I hate malls.

haha...don't you just LOVE it when some nutty NT chick yells at the top of her lungs to her friend who's halfway across the store for the fiftieth time, "Hey! Do you think THIS would fit me?".

They waste sooo much money on stuff that they just don't need. For example...I have about 7 pairs of shoes; one for each day of the week or if I feel like wearing them twice. My NT sister has at least 40 pairs of shoes, 23 of them high heeled. And we ALWAYS have to go to a shoe store when we go too...she'll drag me in, make me hold all of her stuff, and proceed to irritate the s**t out of me while she tries on every frickin' pair of ugly ass shoes in the entire store. We are in there for a minimum of 40 minutes or until I have a meltdown after one too many person touches me. I can usually control myself the first eight or so times it happens, but the ninth I start getting all flappy and then the tenth I just spazz. It makes for interesting times. One time, the tenth person was this lady I knew from a class I took at the local college coming up to say hello and she touched my arm and I just flew off the "socially acceptable" handle. lol.

Malls aren't fun.

How can NTs spend that much time in there??? Seriously...and they call us freaks. :^P lol.
