I think it is a bit sad that many of you get kicks out of laughing at these unfortunate people, but even moreso when people start taking photos and posting them on the internet!

How would you guys like it if someone took *your* foto and stuck it somewhere on the net, criticising you???

blink.gif Heres the interesting thing about eccentrics, people with mental illness and the homeless-
Results from various studies have shown they are usually of above average intelligence. Many of the homeless had been previously employed in top management positions and quite a large number had large bank balances which they never accessed once they hit the street. So beware In a few years time that could be your boss rummaging in those bins or your wealthy Aunty.
For whatever reason they have choosen to "unplug" from the mainstream and live this lifestyle. Of course not all fit this catergory there are always those who truly are "challenged" in all areas, or those who are ill through addictions-
Not so many years ago deaf people were also considered dumb. A misconception born by ignorance, as very few are both.
In the early days "dumb" was not meant as in couldnt speak but rather as in "had no intelliectual ability"- Deaf people are just normal people who have a different language system. Some will talk out loud and they have no idea what the noise they make sounds like, some will also wear headphones as although they cant hear the music they can feel the vibration of the beat. Im not suggesting all the odd people you encounter are deaf but some may be?
Ignorance is not bliss, and "different" does not mean worse it simply means "different"
Black humour and creative story making are two ways we try to pigeon hole things we dont understand, I dont think its unhealthy to do that we are really just exploring those differences through humour. Generally speaking Germans have developed a healthier attitude in the last 60 years towards the mentally challenged so perhaps we should learn by their example

I see/meet/talk to freaks every day, come down to the train station and hang out for a while, they're freaking everywhere.

The guy that spits in my face saying "ARE YOU FROM TEXAS?!? YOU FROM TEXAS, YOU COWBOY!" repeatedly, is the worst...though...and I'm from Minnesota, so it pisses me off a bit, too (you get used to it after around 30 times)

The lady that used to sing and scream at people all day and then randomly make gestures at guys while grabbing her crotch and screaming til the cops came was nice too...saw her have the cops come on her about 15 times last year...they didn't do a damn thing. Her singing was especially *cough* pleasant *cough*...shit, I could talk about the freaks at the station for hours...

I laugh and tend to ignore most of them...many of them wave at me or at least nod when they see me...feel sorry for some, not for others...life goes on.

Actually, in most places I have ever worked, the vast majority of people I would put under the heading "mentally challenged", and "top management" are normally the best examples. Talentless jerks, bereft of a decent level of IQ, who have simply got to their position by working lots of hours.

so what you're saying is that they all come together and she wasn't satisfied til all the coppers came?

QUOTE

and they do this in the open in uniform?

what you have just written could be misinterpreted...
NOFXmike
don't know the difference between cum and come? look it up ...that's the thing about the written language, doesn't have that problem very often
Mr.Mosh
I remember another "nutter".
He would hang around at Lohof Sbahn station (Where MSs offices are, I used to work for them) with a whistle and those little triangular flags used in the old times to signal to the train driver that the train is ready to leave.
So this guy would stand on the platform and play the signalling man. He was obviously completely harmless, but was there almost every day

woah, I can't believe those Abba/Barbie guys actually exist. I was in Munich interrailing last summer, got on the tram outside Hauptbahnhof and saw 2 men fitting that description, but wearing NO tops, so you could see their boobies...

only caught a brief glimpse so wasn't really convinced...but NOW!
jimi-in-toytown
Well, seems as this 'nutter' thread is quite quiet here goes. Seen a guy twice now on the S5 heading south out of Marienplatz. About mid 30's and decently dressed (tweed blazer and modern kecks!!) both appearances he has been carrying one small bag and a newspaper. Well we have noticed him, muttering to himself, walking briskly up and down the train as if he is late for something and when the train gets to a station he pushes towards the door, gets off keeping one hand firmly fixed to the handle and looks up and down the platform before re-alighting. Kinda gives you the spooks a bit but harmless and was wondering if anyone else has seen him. We get off at Fasangarten and he still keeps going. Both appearances have been around 6pm. blink.gif

Our alternative to the alternative curry night was at the Sitar, lastnight.

As it was a nice evening we sat outside and on 2 occasions there was one elderly bloke walking down the footpath, bawling and shouting at his mobile phone... he walked the same way twice, then returned a few minutes later with a friend... we was shouting at him too...

Nutters!

are they really real boobies then? how/why etc?
I saw em twice last week, once at HermannLing tram stop it was kinda nippy and they were identically dressed in (gasp not white!) teeny tiny bright yellow hotpants and belly tops...then saw em the next day at Sendlinger Tor dressed back in their delightful tiny white ensembles again.

anyone know any history about the Abba guys at all? are they proper nutters?

I had a nutter pay me a visit at my apartment last week. He knocks on my door and announces "Hello I'm Günther, you are Eva". He insists that I'm his sister and won't take no for an answer. Also insists that we have the same last name (which we don't). After explaining to him that he not only has the wrong apartment but also the wrong girl, he leaves only to return again a few minutes later with the same spiel.

Wierded me right out!

not sure if it's been mentioned yet but at Am Harras U-Bahn, there is a nutter who I refer to as the 'Escalator Man'.

Every morning, Monday to Friday, he can be seen continuously walking up the stairs from the U-Bahn platform and then taking the escalator down again before repeating the circuit ...at first you'd think he might be doing this to keep fit ...but if you intterupt him or somehow break his scary stare or brush past him too close or even attempt to stop him ..you get the feeling you will die. he is very pale and ghostly and looks like an extra from the living dead ..he shaves his head every other week and it is covered in cuts and scars ..most strange ...personally, i just ignore what he's doing now and if he wasn't there i actually think it might feel a tad strange like .. unsure.gif
worm
news just in on the 'nutter update'...

anyone else seen the guy who walks around town wearing hotpants and various bits of 'body armour' fashioned out of cans? He also paints himself and his hair various colours, although he seems to favour blue. Sometimes the paint also seems to be of the enamel variety rather than the easier to remove emulsion. Seen him around quite a lot lately.
Marshbot
@Worm, Yep, I've seen him lots lately. He passes through Marienplatz regularly. Always striding through like he has a purpose and a place to be. Sometimes he wears feathers too. It's a good look.

Wow! Neat chat up line wink.gif
Eleanor_Rigby
Yeah, they'll try anything these days. I coudn't figure out if he was trying to case the joint or case me. Regardless I now keep a giant jar of mustard beside the door (just in case).
Rus
And what would you do with the mustard?
boomtown_rat
Silva you seem to attract such actions in person and via PM! huh.gif
Eleanor_Rigby
I'll figure that out when the time comes, I think a girl wielding a jar of mustard can be very intimidating.

BR, you don't know the half of it dry.gif
boomtown_rat
not sure I want to to be honest! Happy in my blissfully innocent vacuum cool.gif
Marshbot
Oh. This is not a Munich nutter by any stretch, more like a local character. Have you guys seen that little old lady who sits outside Marienplatz U-bahn entrance all the time with the pet pigeon? Adorable. They are always snuggled up together. If the fat little pigeon is not on her hair or shoulder, it's fluffed up next to her on the seat or eating something from her hands. Soooo cute.
OhFFS
Damn. Sin beat me to the punchline.

Seen the Jesus guy at Donnersbergerbrücke a couple times... there was also a guy in the same area who I saw a few times on the bus and tram... he always wore pants where the backside was completely gone. So I called him the Assless Pants Man. Stank like hell too. Haven't seen him in a while though...

Another freak/weirdo/crazie on his way into town: I'll be back tomorrow.

woof.
Marshbot
A warning. Do not approach this one. He may look cuddly but his hunting instincts are still keen.

Avert your eyes, side step calmly away and for gods sake, do not run...
epiphone
Date:Friday night the 23rd September.
Location: S2 from Erding to Petershausen.
Contact made: From Markt Schwaben until Leuchtenbergring.
Nature: Dressed head to toe in army camouflage. Wearing some kind of army Beret with coat of arms badge. Had a U.S. utility belt, indicating to me hes not a proper soldier and brought his gear from a army navy store.

Was carrying a metre length cardboard tube (could have had a concealed weapon), and a lowenbraeu beer can.

Actions: Shouting aimlessly as he staggered down the carriage. Being quite aggressive to many people, going right up to peoples faces and shouting, laughing, sitting next to people especially girls.

Very very very very very dodgy!!!

No S-Bahnwachen in sight when u need one!!!

He stepped out at Leuchtenbergring when i did, i tried to entice him to following me down the steps by shouting "hey du arschloch" (I thought i could out run him down the steps) but he forced his way back through the closing doors back on to the train.
Elfenstar
i don't know this particular couple, but there is a rather tall black woman/man with long black hair whom i used to see all the time on the u1 going towards mangfallplatz. in fact, i once saw her eating a bratwurst... well, nothing special about that. haven't seen her in awhile though. i saw her so much i wanted to talk to her/him, but she never made eye contact in the u-bahn.
could it be she was at the 4th of july picnic? mmm, now where did i see her?
butterbean
we saw two fabulously dressed ("to wong fu" style) trannies Friday early evening while enjoying a glass of champagne and old bag watching at the Schrannenhalle. they always make me smile, and I feel sure they'd be happy to have their picture taken. "ladies" who put that much effort into their look definitely want to be noticed.

Has anyone ever seen the Lizard Guy that hangs around Nordfriedhof? Seriously, he is tattooed in a scales pattern and has a split tongue and wears a leather vest. Spooky? I thought I was drunk and I hadn't even hit the pub yet!
dazzled
I have seen him featured on a program a few years back! Must be fascinating in reality! wacko.gif
sarabyrd
On some other link there was this great tattooed snake with a beady eye - you all know which one I'm talking about. Wonder if it's Mr. Lizard's. I wouldn't touch either of them with someone else's hands.

I know who you mean, but cute? Have you seen all the bird poo down her back when she stands up?

How about this guy who was hanging around the McDonalds in Feilitzschstrasse, near the Münchner Freiheit U-Bahn station. The sign he's wearing says 'Private Aufsicht Service'
planetmoni
great pic! laugh.gif

Eveything was leather, including those huge lapels and the hat, but what you can't see in the picture are the huge platform-soled shoes he was wearing.

MajorBummer
Cute photo. I am starting to like this town.
Showem
He looks like a pudgy, hairy Mr. Bean.

Yesterday I saw a crazy nutter for shure, I will refer to him as Vampire Man.

He was wearing womans lingerie, a hugh hefner looking red housecoat, he was completly bald, white makup all over his head, and then black makup around his eyes. He also had plastic extensions on his ears. Haha, kind of looked like Bat Boy from that fake tabloid in north america. The worst part about it was his balls were hanging out of the lingerie when his robe fell open.

THis was not at night either, it was noon right outside of Haubtbahnhof at the TRam stations by the post office. I thought vampires only came out at night but this dude is seriouly hilarious. anyone else seen him, maybe he is a fellow TTer. At any rate a classic nutter.
Serenissima
Nah, that was British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett making a visit, surely?
parnell
I've seen this guy getting on an U-Bahn once this summer. What a clown.

Renia
Are they implants?
parnell
No he injected oil directly into the muscle...

here's another kid (Austrian I think) who tried the same thing , the oil started to leak into his veins , cue heart attack and lung collapse

Renia
He injected oil directly into the muscle? That is so so so revolting.
parnell
@ Renia
Actually I think it's absolutely hilarious (btw the kid underneath may require a double amp) but don't find it any more revolting than say guys shooting up female hormones to make em grow breasts , or chics shooting up male hormones to make em grow clits muscles , all with the sanction of modern medicine.

Can you imagine the level of insanity it takes to hold a syringe full of oil as you're hammering a plunger into your arm ?
Renia
I am sorry to hear that this guy may lose both his arms, however I can't believe anyone with half a brain cell would do that to themselves.

The other examples you mentioned, I guess are done by either people who are transgendered or body builders... perhaps in some instances sanctioned by modern medicine, but not always.

Edit: You had the same thought as me while I was typing!
Moonboot
what type of oil did the dude inject to get his arms that big blink.gif ?

there's a dude who injects saline into his nads/bumhole/todger & they're all massive will look for the link.
they're all huge!
Renia
@Moonboot, don't know if I will dare to look... I get scared easily!
