What the fuck is wrong with you?

How would you like it if someone just trashed all of your makeup, or dyed your black clothing pink because they didn't like you?

She might call you names, but that's no reason for a childish display of destruction of private property.

[kimaru]

I know it was childish...but she stole my shoelaces once, I couldn't wear my shoes...

Yah thats not really a good excuse...Normally I wouldn't even dream of doing that kind of thing, but I haven't really been myself lately.

[badteccy]

Wow, that was fucked up Kimaru...wouldn't you rather be the better person?

Where do I begin..

Oi Wanker! Halloweens next month!

Is that stuff hot?

Well I say I believe that young man is a goth.

You have lots of metal shiny stuff on.

[Stormtrooper of Death]

People just look at me funny. I really don't give a damn.

I usually am the better person, but I kind of snapped on wedensday...I mean on your birthday you are supposed to have a good day and I had my shoelaces stollen, my bus broke down, someone ran into me and I scrapped up my knee , and I pulled a muscle in my arm in gym...

[Angels&Absinthe]

I was soooo mad though because of what one guy said to me. I'm amused 99.9% of the time, but when someone who I'm on good terms with insults me... well. We are no longer on good terms anymore

On Halloween we get civvies, which I thought was funny cause usually I get the 'It's not Halloween!' calls. So I go to my religion class, and my neighbour sits right behind me. He is gay and works at Le Chateau and is REALLY cocky.

So it came up randomly that I wasn't in costume, and I always where that kind of thing, and he goes 'That's your civvies? God, like get $600, come to Le Chateau, and I'll buy you a whole new wardorbe'. And really, his tone... I haven't really liked him since then. It was amazingly rude. Annnywayyys I just said 'Excuse me? If I liked your clothes, I'd wear them. Mind your own fucking business'.

And to Kimaru.... I think it's funny. Mean, and I wouldn't do it to someone, but funny nonetheless.

[spoon!]

Up till high school, the one thing I had to deal with was somebody calling me "Urkel", mostly shouted by a lot of the hicks in my town. Haven't heard it in years, but if someone were to shout it now it wouldn't bug me anymore.

" AAH! It's the dead walking"- someone I don't know

I really have not had too many experiences in this manner. However, I do believe it takes an extremely strong person not to react to such crude and malicious behavior. Now I do, on the other hand, think that a little toying is necessary with humans such as these that would try to make others feel so low(naughty, naughty humans!). Humor is also a necessity when dealing with this. And perhaps a good imagination.....................

If that wasn't said in a malicious tone, I would've taken it as a compliment Even if it was said meanly, I prob. still would have... That's the look we're going for, isn't it?

[silverbaal]

My favorites:

"Hey...Nice tits".

"Work it!" (As in, "Move your ass", I presume).

[Breathless Horror]

Most recent one: "Hey freak! Got any pot?"...Damn chavs...

[grauenacht]

"He's scary..."
"I know!"
*laughs*
-Two elitist emo/fashionxcore girls from my high school.
It's sad really, because their own choice of alternate fashion and ideals (if they have any) don't sway them from behaving in the same ignorant fashion as any fratboy, chav or whitehat.

[GothicChristian]

Last year, eighth grade, just after finishing anger management:
"Why are you so f****** emo?" asks some poor ignorant fool.
"Umm... dude," began his friend nervously,"you might want to run, she freaking knocked some kid out last year for asking that."
"That's because she's goth, not emo." the third friend stated solemnly before running down the hall, his friends following closely behind.
(Quite an interesting instance, I stared at them like the morons they were and walked away)

Last year, eighth grade, just after before anger management:
"Why are you like, such a freak." asked the preppiest, snobbiest girl in middle school.
"Yeah, and what's with the purple hair, Violet?" her friend continued.
"Violet?" I replied with a scoff, "That's the best you could do?"
I continued by giving them suggestions for better insults, another interesting instance.

[alshio]

Occasionally people do say nice things abput what i'm wearing, but mostly I have creepy/drunk people strike up conversations with me. Take today for instance. I was waiting at the train station when a guy walked up to me and said:

Him: Your top. It's really pretty.
Me: Thanks.
Him: It is... and it matches your...(he pointed at my feet - it it wasn't till he left that I realised he was pointing at my bag which has a bit of blue on it)
Me: Err...thankyou
him: I was reading a book today and a girl was wearing a pink one of them, It was really pretty. I hope Jesus can make more of them....goodbye. Goodbye Girl.

[Paigeybobert]

I've been called a dyke goth. :[

Same here. My family tries to force me to go to church and whenever that fails, my grandmother brings all her stupid church friends by the house to pray for me. Like WTF...

[Minyaliel]

I get a lot of funny/ interesting comments, not only because of my clothes but also because, being an archer, I have to carry my bow and archery equipment with me through the entire city centre to get to the shooting grounds. The funniest/ strangest/ most often heard comments I can recall off the top of my head include things like

"Hey, Cupid, shoot an arrow at me, will ya?" (Random guy outside a bar. My reply: "Yeah, sure, but I'd better warn you that this kind of love REALLY hurts... It's a real killer...")

"WOOOHA - now, are you Morticia Addams or Robin Hood?" (Fat guy at the market square)

"SAAAAATAAAAAN...!!" *growly pseudo- black metal voice* (some prep)

"Mommy, look at the pretty vampire!" (Cute girl)

"You look like fucking Eli Hagen!" (a former classmate commenting on my hawk. By the way, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Hagen & http://gfx.dagbladet.no/pub/artikkel...1163624612.jpg. I was rather offended at that...)

*frightened stare, whimper* Uh... ehm... *backs away slowly, then turns around and runs away* (A new employee at my favourite thrift store)

"Hey, burned any churches lately? Say, where do you keep your gasoline?" (Some stupid jerk)

"Going to a carneval?" (A middle- aged lady in a mall)

"Are you a punk?" (Someone commenting on my hawk)

"EMO!!!" (Gods, that's getting old.)

"Gods, how eccentric..." *stare* (Two ladies talking behind my back at the bus stop. Yes, I was wearing a particularly outlandish outfit that day - I still think it was pretty.)

"Are you into Satanic Metal?" (A preacher guy. I didn't know whether to laugh or sob.)

"JESUS LOVES YOU!!" (An old teacher of mine. My reply: "Yeah, love you too. Now, could you please help me with this song or are you just going to stand around all day?" Yup, I was a bit grumpy after a long day...)

"Are you a Satanist?" (Some dude. My reply: "As a matter of fact, yes." Then I left him standing there, his eyes seemingly popping out of his sockets and his mouth wide open in surprise. LOL.)

"Can I touch your hair/ sides of your head?" (From the time when I still had my hawk and an undercut. I usually said yes, as being petted that way seems to have a relaxing effect on me.)

"Have you seen Jesus?" (A Jehova's Witness) "No, haven't seen him all day. Tried to look for him around the coffee machine?"

I also often seem to fall into conversations with odd, and often rather fascinating characters in random locations, which I find to be a rewarding plus. I often get lots of compliments, like some of the other posters here, from old ladies, oddly enough. But then again, I do love my vintage clothes, which are, if not made by myself, usually heirlooms and antiques from older relatives and deceased relatives and friends of the family, aswell as the odd gift from this nice lady who owns the house my family usually rents during summer vacations in Germany. She used to have this antiques shop before she got too old to manage it, and she still keeps some wonderful stuff in her attic.

[Hackman]

Mostly the people who comment me are old people, homeless people or children. Some of my personal favorites are:

"Excuse me young lady you have something on your face" Old woman, didnt know her.(about my lip ring, also im a male)

*blank stare, followed by crying* little girl in a church recreation group.

"Hi Jesus" Homeless man, i think he was on drugs(i was wearing my Tae-Kwon-Do outfit)

"Damn kids" Redneck in a truck, i was alone.

*slaps but* "Hey, can i get your number, i know that fat chicks need love too" Some guy in a mall (i turned to him, his eyes dialated as soon as he saw my beard and said "Ill give your sister a call then" *wink*)

Its late and those are all thats comming to mind

[PersephoneX]

The scariest night of my life, i was thrown out of my friend's house at 3am, by his catholic mother. I was drunk, like everyone else. I was walking around a not-so-safe area with my docs in my hands.

A guy was trying to break into cars he started following me calling me Mary Magdalene and threatening to do some pretty gross things to me. Luckily before anything got scary, Ferret came out of no where and made the fuck off.

[~onyxmoon~]

well the most pathetic thing i have heard was
"omg..i think i just saw a ghost..oh no wait it was a goth!"

[DeathToLems]

I'm still waiting to hear whispers behind my back.

One day I was walking out of chav town (my bf unfortunately lives in there, hes not a chav btw) and this black guy calls out to me
"i like your trousers"
I happen to be wearing my bondage pin stripes with loadsa zips on them. I smiled and said thanks.

Then another day I'm wating in line at eh shop and this black guy looks at my face and says
"chea you got your eye brow done too" and he points at hes.
I just smiled and nodded
"it looks really good on you" he continued.
"heh thanks"

Walking at night into chav town two young chavs girls and a chav boy walking towards me starts saying
"I thought girls were meant to have small feet"
I didn't know whether to correct him that they are not my feet its just the size of the boots or just keep walking.
I kept walking. *remembers when I was young* if you ignore them they will go away.
lol

[Smile]

Ex-friend: Do you cut yourself?

Me: Yeah, once, why?

Ex-friend: You're too Goth for your own good.

Me (in my head): Go suck your mom's titty!

In my opinion it's quite the contrary, I don't usually react because either nothing funny or malicious to say crosses my mind (and for some reason it occurs to me randomly a couple of hours later >_< I hate it when that happens) or I'm too scared or freaked out to respond.

This sort of threads are terribly funny ^_^ I love them XD

[Delkaetre]

Was wearing my little silver bat choker (I wear it everywhere) whilst waiting for a bus, and a slightly drunken guy comes up to me and asks if I like batman, because I'm dressed all in black and I'm wearing a bat.
Next day, walking towards the Tube station, I pass the same guy, who greets me with 'hey, batgirl!'
Haven't seen him again since then.
It was kinda cool, in an odd way.
