Well, I had a dozen replies like that I instantly thought of. But as I said, he rushed right on and out of the door. No chance to get a word in, not after being stunned for a second until my brain managed to compute what the hell he was saying. Maybe he actually was afraid I might harm him after insulting me, or he knew if he had to defend his idiotic position in any way it'd be a losing battle. Maybe it made his sad square mid-life crisis day to totally have manned up and insulted someone right in their face and gotten away unscathed by running away. Who knows.
People addressing you as 'Father'? ^^When I had longer hair and kept quite a bushy beard I was often mistaken for an orthodox priest. Hilarious.
I somehow doubt that.I'd like to see that
Yeah, the only people with long hair and a beard around here are usually priests, thus the common confusion. It was funny to observe how people changed their attitude immediately when they learnt I wasn't a priest.
Honestly I think just ignoring him was the best course of action. Admittedly it feels better to tell idiots that they're being idiots, but at the end of the day, he may have just been looking for a fight, so it's best to just not let people like that affect you. It will annoy them more if you don't react.

I can't imagine it took much conversation before they realised you weren't a priest :uma:I somehow doubt that.

Yeah, as soon as I mentioned that I don't like Iorveth it gave me away.
Guess I'll keep it short or shaved for the first few months while I get an impression of my neighborhood, and then who knows.
My "problem" is I don't have a lot of pigment in my hair and a LOT of it is white, even in my beard. That's probably a good thing in these forums though!
Yeah, well, I'm certainly not shedding any tears because I didn't get to have a talk with him.
Oh noes! I just realized I left out a tiny, little important word in my previous statement: I did get a lot of POSITIVE comments on my beard - not just comments. :facepalm2: My meaning was that as long as you're not in one of few specific lines of business, you shouldn't have any problem with a beard - and even then it's just antiquated business guidelines, not customers. It's generally accepted, not unsusual at all at the moment and just a matter of personal preference.
So your avatar IS a portrait of yourself. Have always been wondering. A shame that that epic white beard is gone.... although I do see your point with it making you look older. :huh:
How long are you going to stay in Germany? Where? For work or just visiting?
Say you like me anyway, even though I can't grow a proper beard?

Someone's a wee bit desperate methinks! :stoptrolling:
Haha, or maybe it is just fun to talk bull shit.
Well I don't talk bullshit.....much.
Well, er ... No.Say you like me anyway, even though I can't grow a proper beard?
:hai:
But maybe we could agree on different terms?

Got my seminar place today, which I wanted. Got crap places the last few semsters so I cancelled them, but this would have been my last chance. Very happy.
Everytime I hear something slightly connected with university I remember I have to wait until September ... and still know nothing ...
