I was in the shopping queue last night and this nutcase was talking to this very attractive blonde till girl.
He was holding up the queue, and was clearly not right in the head, what he was saying. We all remained calm as he finally left.
The till girl said to me, "I was scared.'
I said, you did the right thing, you remained calm and agreed with everything he said. Never challenge a loony. Agree, with everything they say.

Err, satire.:D
By the way, to do the grin, it's capital Ds.:D
EDIT: Ooops, silly me.. I was thinking that holbob was trying to do a cheeky tongue smilie.. sorry, my bad
You're digging a bigger hole, Em
It is indeedy one of these : and one of these D to make a grinning smilie, however if all you are posting are these
This post has offered me more intelligent advice than the OP.
Just admit it.
And you were wearing your wig weren't you?
That was the community radio roadshow.
He may have gone into a coma in 1985, just woken up and soon realised that everything is no longer groovy
Don't call people Nutcase or Loony :mad: those aren't a nice term to use and can cause offence to people :mad:
You should agree with everything they say but don't call them those words you chose to use.
Yes... Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. We can't have people in this world being offended can we...
:rolleyes:
Indeed we can't! Call me pedantic but I'm waiting for an opinion on my last post on this topic, I made myself laugh and me alone I fear
He did look like he was in a bit of a timewarp. He was also hugging the ghetto blaster to his chest and looking weird...
A Bubble Perm, loud Tracksuit and a slightly obsessive liking to eye make up aswell?
He was probably ok and just didn't understand the boundaries of normal conversation because of his condition. Mentally ill people rarely become violent, however she did the right thing with just agreeing with him.
Please don't use terms like nutter or loony though.
I actually have a mental health condition myself, well a few, as they are co-morbid.
Fortunately for me, I very rarely show signs of it outwardly, so people are probably not aware of it upon encountering me.
For others living with mental health problems, this may not be the case, and they may occasionally depart from conventional behaviour, in episodic occurrences.
I do not think they deserve to be labelled a 'nutter' or a 'loony' based on this.
I think in this example I actually find the OP's behaviour the most strange, because he is incapable of demonstrating some empathy and understanding to an obviously troubled person:(.

SPEECHLESS SMILIE REQUIRED.
what an offensive post.
Actually, I suspect it's how most people would have phrased it. Political correctness and fear of offending people is not all-encompassing especially when confronted by someone who obviously has severe mental health problems.
We have someone lives not far from my house who is banned from all the buses in Bournemouth, as well as the churches in the local vicinity because of his behaviour which is very obviously way off any sort of scale anyone can use - frankly he's a danger. His criminal offences result in him being sectioned each time, and he generally has 6 months in the local psychiatric hospital and 6 months of care in the community. No one seems to understand that care in the community just does not work for some people.
This man is known locally as "Loony John" no matter how unpalatable that may be for some people to hear.
We just have Purple Aki. That's about it.
No it's not a natural reaction. Those are offensive terms. You wouldn't call it a natural if someone used the n word to describe a black person so don't expect those of us with mental health problems not to get upset when people use outdated derogatory terms to describe us too.
