Batsh*t Crazy

So have you ever dealt with these types of people?

They are what is commonly referred to as:

“Batsh*t Crazy!”

Some telltale signs in combination:

– Loud

– Out of control (off the spectrum)

– Exaggerated thinking/delusional

– Feelings of victimhood/paranoia/anger

– Gesturing wildly 

– Fingers tightly extended or clenched into fists

– Banging on the table/wall 

– Sharpening facial lines

– Clenching of the lips/teeth

– Bugged out/staring eyes

– Dark, hallowed-out eye sockets

– Disheveled hair/clothes

– Unkept/dirty/smelly

– In your face/space

– Potentially violent/dangerous

When you are dealing with batshit crazy…watch out!

You can’t reason with them. You can’t confront them.  You can’t evade them.  

They have you in their sights. 

Scary, right? 

BTW, I looked up the derivation of this term:

It come from “there is nothing at all going on upstairs”–such that the bells are no longer ringing in the church tower, and hence the bats are coming to rest there, and they have been there so long that the batsh*t has built up.

There is certainly a lot of batshit from what I can see! 😉

Her Hair Was A Hoot

No offense intended, but not going to miss this lady in a crowd.

Orange-hot pink hair, a zebra shirt, big black-rimmed glasses, and a wild bag with dozens of pins all over it. 

It was also funny that the sign over her head says, “Orange” to match this lady’s hair. 

My childhood friends would probably call this a “Hair Don’t” like a hairdo, only don’t do it!

Sometimes, you have to wonder what people are thinking.

It’s nice to get attention, if it’s attention worth getting. 😉

DC Still Has Its Mojo

Even during the government shutdown, some people are happily strutting their stuff in DC.

This guy on the Metro had his earbuds on and was dancing up a storm.

I asked if I could take a short video–he was like “cool!”

Should’ve taken it landscape, but nevertheless….

He’s pretty wild and entertaining.

At one point, he dances up to the camera and gives me his business card.

However, due to the “spicy” nature of the lyrics on his site, a link is not provided.

Hey, this is a professional and family-friendly blog. 😉
