Walking down Northumberland Street in Newcastle last night after work, I was accosted on three seperate occasions by three different people all after money for Save The Kids or something.

Whilst that is irksome in itself, what really got me was that one of the women said "Come one, It will cheer you up."

I was perfectly bloody happy; I'd had a great day and was going home to eat steak, drink ale and wait for my gf to come home.

But later that evening, when I told her what had happened, she said "Yeah...But you do look ******* miserable."

I think it may be because I don't naturally smile; when my face is relaxed, my mouth is either straight or slightly downturned.

So...Do you look miserable? Do people assume you're a dirty old Ebeneezer?

I do! I could have just won the lottery and still people would call me a miserable sod, even though inside all the fluffy little bunnies are hopping around the dew soaked meadow and the sun has got a hat on! :)
 
I think I do look miserable a lot actually. My theory is unless I'm talking to someone I've no need for my face to look happy so I was walk along as I am.

I'll be in a good mood but without a mate of mine there to talk to I just don't bother smiling.

I get accosted by dem charity kinds all the time but I just walk past; I've had no "cheer up" comments from them....yet.
 
I do tend to look pretty miserable most of the time though I rarely actually am, I'm just a cynic. Even had one girl coming to check up on me last night when I was stood in a club waiting for my friend to come back because she said I looked like I was having a bad night; I wasn't I was just bored waiting. Wasn't going to complain when she found a way to cheer me up though. ;)
 
lol i look miserable too since im too lazy/alpha to walk around grinning at the world .

we are too manly to be expressing emotion thorough facial expression

its really ****** me off when some lad wanting money for some sort of chairty came over and started telling me to cheer up though . it was raining and i was cold and soaking wet and getting pestered by someone in the street course i was bloody miserable !!!

I shall use that in the future. "I'm too manly!" With a deep gruff voice of course.

Haha! I've not had to put up with inclement weather AND charity peeps. I'd be quite miffed with the weather and if I got one of them! Grr. :mad:
 
I hate those Chuggers, the entrance to the Potteries Centre is loaded with them. You sidestep to avoid one and you end up staring at the smiling, gormless face of another.
 
Yeah the high street here can have 5 or 6 along it. I'll avoid the first 2 normally as they already have made a kill but the 3rd or 4th will always get me. I just shake my head and keep walking.
 
I normally just say "sorry, I don't have any hands" and walk on.

That or "Sorry, I don't speak English."

lol best one who i ever talked too was some lass who approached me and a mate and asked if we had time to listen

"nah were in a rush sorry" (usual reply)

she then shouted down the highstreet

"what... BUT WERE FRIENDS OF THE EARTH"

couldnt stop laughing to be fair . internal laughter of course , suppressed by a face of stone

LOL. Reminds me of that sketch on BBC2 years ago. Woman walks up to a man and, in Englisn, asks him if he speaks English. His reply, also in English, was that he didn't speak English.

She says "Oh thats a pity" or something and keeps going on with English in the hope he'll understand something. :D Then she walks off and says to a bypasser, "Yeah I do speak English" and starts laughing.

Oh my lord! Where do they get these people from? :o
 
Everyone assumes I'm a grumpy, miserable git. Maybe because I am - but only when talking to other people.

I can be perfectly happy, and just not smile. Why can't people understand that? It really irritates me.
 
The best for me would have to had been along the lines of:

Him: Would you like to donate to help us get fox hunting banned?

Me: But then I wouldn't have anything to do on weekends.
 
The Jesus Army are the best! We once got followed all the way from Boots to the Stage Door pub, in Hanley, by two of these freaks. All because when they accosted us and said "Have you found our Lord Jesus Christ?", this smart arse answered "No, why have you lost him? Ask His Dad, he's supposed to know everything!".
 
I rarely express my emotions on my face. I might be really happy, depressed or angry, but my face will still remain in its neutral sullen look. I wouldn't want to get wrinkles by smiling now would I?

The local Jesus Chris people target me on purpose I reckon. :mad: First time I thought they were from out of town and lost. They were wearing suits. I've learned that trick now though.
