Weirding people out
The tube - I hate it... I'm from up North and I don't like the level of rudeness that it brings out of people - I'm just not used to having my face rammed into someone else's armpit.

My guilty pleasure?

Looking at people - try it, I dare you. Look at someone on the tube, it'll freak them out - I do this at every opportunity just for the reaction.

Or try to start a conversation, another sure fire way to weird out those Southerners...

I love doing it and I'm not even sorry.

Saying that, I have had some pretty good conversations with people who turn out to be Northerners - making me and cedde person the two nutters on the tube.

And I don't even look weird :o)

My greatest moment? Buying a bunch of carnations for the b3ta meet, removing one and giving them to a girl sat just outside Waitrose in Kensington saying "Here you go, you look like you needed these" and walked off without looking back.

Ack
I'm a Londoner, and I too hate the rudeness on the tube. But not as much as being head height to most people's armpits *shudders whilst holding breath*

I'm with you on this one....
...being a friendy Norherner myself I take great pleasure in trying to talk to people on the tube when I'm in London. I also walk around with a spring in my step and smile at people which results in Southerners thinking that I'm mad!

Try giving way to another car.
The Southern gits look as if they think you're about to shoot them.

Happy
Just going around in London with a happy look on your face is another way of freaking people out (down south).

Or just be polite :-)

Thanks
Thanks Stapleface - I couldn't bear to throw them away so I had to give them to someone and she looked like the kind of girl that would appreciate them. And she did :-)

I didn't do it to weird her out at all, I did it as a nice gesture - it felt good to do something nice like that in a world like this.

I'm southern
Fully converted now, mind. I love northerners. I hate going down south. I don't see how people "socialise" down there when they're afraid to talk to someone they don't already know.
