Thread: Ways to RC without being a retard

Some kids are like that at my High school too. I say screw them. If they judge people like that then they have no place.

Believe me, no one will care (or even notice) if you casually reach up and pinch your nose for a half a second (a socially acceptable way to scratch an itch, perhaps). Similarly, briefly poking the palm of your hand is extremely unlikely to draw any attention at all. Face it; people have way more going on in their lives to notice a few simple motions. If you knew how often people actually thought about you, you really wouldn't care at all.

Still don't believe me? Picture this conversation taking place:
Guy 1: "Okay, so dude, check this out: I was walking down the street, all cool-like, when I saw this dude totally reach up and pinch his nose shut for a split second! It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen, not even joking."
Guy 2: "NO WAY! What was wrong with that guy? What a freak! We should totally shun him when we see him again, and spread the word of his freaky little habits."
Guy 1: "I know, right? I'm gonna go tell everyone I know to watch out for this guy."

Sorry, folks, not going to happen. Get over it.

This totally. I do very weird things on a daily basis

Lol. Point taken.

most of the time, when i question if i'm dreaming, i am usually convinced that i'm not, until i do an RC like reading something twice, or looking at my hands...if i'm dreaming, there is usually something not quite right about my hands...a thumb is too short or something...
