Would this be considered weird?

[Phasmal]

Soap is bad for your hair.

As for what's weird about me:
I'm 22 and I don't like tea or coffee.
You'd think that wouldn't be weird, but when I'm in a new job or meeting new people and they ask `Tea or coffee?` and I have to say `Actually I don't drink either`, they react like I just said I live on the moon.
`What do you drink?` is usually the question I get asked.
Squash, juice, fizzy, water. Anything really, but not tea or coffee. They taste bad.

 

[Rascarin]

Pretty much as others have stated - my only concern would be that soap would be potentially damaging to the hair. I'm sure it gets it clean, but would worry that it was drying it out...

 

[Susan Arendt]

Well, it depends on how long your hair is, and what kind of soap you're using. Your scalp is a lot more oily (typically - it can also be more dry) than the rest of your skin, so it may actually be doing more harm than good to use body soap on your hair (longterm, I mean). Also, your hair will (again, typically) look nicer if you use shampoo. It's certainly not weird, but unless you've got some overwhelming reason not to use shampoo, you likely should.

Hello female version of me (when it comes to tea or coffee)

It's even worse when you're working. Someone will always offer tea or coffee, and then when you're the only person in a meeting sitting with water or nothing everyone else looks at you funny.

The best part is that I work with students a lot, so sometimes we'll all go to meetings at the university, get offered tea, coffee or squash, and every student will get tea or coffee leaving only the 23 year old student services worker as the one with the squash.

As for the hair thing (the O meaning of this P) I sometimes wash my hair with soap when it's very very short (like 10mm short) but after that my hair is too prone to getting greasy and horrible to use anything other than shampoo and conditioner on. I'm very girly about my hair actually.

 

[Snowbell]

I say again - crazy. If tea isn't so bitter that it hurts to drink, then by god it isn't tea at all. It's just brown water

Your avatar is not girly, though, it seems to be terrifying instead. She looks like she's going to eat my face.

Also, I didn't actually look, I was too busy being astonished at your cavalier attitude to tea. I was all set to challenge you to a duel!

She's not going to eat you; she's going to kidnap you, but only if you happen to be a prince

And good sir, my sex does not prevent me from dueling! En garde!

 

[SonicWaffle]

I quite like the music of Prince, does that count?

And good sir, my sex does not prevent me from dueling! En garde!

Ah, fair lady, but it does. For you see, I belong to a group of chivalrous knights, and if I were to be caught duelling with a woman then I would surely be expelled. Also, just between you and I, I can only win duels by using my "special move" of a boot to the balls - without my most potent attack, I fear I would be defeated!

In what Bizzaro world do you live where students drink non-alcoholic beverages?

1. A world where I work with international students, many of whom are Muslims.

2. A world where many of them are 17 year old international students.

3. A world where these are meetings taking place at the university to make sure their future schools see the best of them.

I don't see the students when they're out socialising, it's very frowned on, to the point where some of our teachers have actually left pubs or clubs when they've been out to avoid problems.

Oh dearest Waffle, I did once think that perhaps we could be friends, but although I prefer to not be misgendered I do hate to be treated like a dainty flower, nay as a woman at all!

Now if you'll excuse me I have a 36 hour Dragon Age marathon to get back to, during which I shall be eating cheetos, not showering and thanking Glob I'm not fat/cannot grow a neckbeard...yet

 

[Alssadar]

I sometimes mix up my body and hair soap, but I my short hair likes feeling all fluffy.
As some other people have said, I take steps two at a time, though I always try to end on the top step (Therefore, I sometimes have to start on an "odd" step in order to make it correctly to the top.)

Capcha wants me to make a turkey sandwich, which sounds good because I am hungry.

 

[BeeGeenie]

Bar soap isn't as good on hair, but it's not particularly weird.

Ummm...What do I do that's unusual? I use toilet paper to blow my nose instead of kleenex. I know a bunch of people who do that, though.

LOL One of my teachers once said: Toilet paper is sometimes advertised as "Facial quality bathroom tissue!"... but nobody ever advertises Kleenex as "Anal Quality tissue paper!" XD
Thanks for the memories

 

[SonOfVoorhees]

Me to, whether using soap or shower gel, my hair is really short so buying shampoo is really pointless. lol

 

[SonicWaffle]

Oh dearest Waffle, I did once think that perhaps we could be friends, but although I prefer to not be misgendered I do hate to be treated like a dainty flower, nay as a woman at all!

Aye, 'tis a shame we shan't be compatriots, but it is at least a relief to know we shall not meet on the battlefield. Though, my lady, one minor point; perhaps if one does not enjoy being treated as a "dainty flower", as you put it, one should avoid being publicly known as "bluebell forest" ;-)

Now if you'll excuse me I have a 36 hour Dragon Age marathon to get back to, during which I shall be eating cheetos, not showering and thanking Glob I'm not fat/cannot grow a neckbeard...yet

I envy you, particularly about the fat thing, and the Dragon Age. I flogged my copy ages ago to buy...something. I forget. Must have been good though to make me give up DA:O, I loved that game.

I must confess, though, despite hearing the word used all the time I have no idea what a neckbeard is. How is it any different from a normal beard, which grows under the chin in the area often called "the neck"?

 

[SonOfVoorhees]

I'm 22 and I don't like tea or coffee.

Now if you are English as well, then you would be considered certifiable under the mental health act. ;-)

 

[Phasmal]

but what exactly dont you like about tea?
do you dislike hot beverages altogether?

what about ice tea ? *hides*

The taste*.
Eh, not really. I like mint hot chocolate and this hot orange stuff I make when I have a cold.

Never had ice tea.

*I'm told its an aquired taste but I cant be arsed to force myself to drink something nasty just so I will like it eventually.

I am English.
I expect the blokes from the loony bin will be here to pick me up shortly.

 

[FamoFunk]

If it cleans your hair and stuff then why not?

My hair is down to my ass, I doubt anything but shampoo could clean it.

 

[VoEC]

Is it odd or weird what you do? No, not really.
Is it good for your hair? Noooooooo...

I guess it's ok if you have really short hair but if I would do it my hair would be a mess.

 

[Rheinmetall]

No, not all. It's just uncommon. What I do, is that I enjoy often sleeping in my couch with my clothes on, instead of going to bed like a normal person. It's not weird, only uncivilized.

From Urban Dictionary:

1. Facial hair that does not exist on the face, but instead on the neck. Almost never well groomed.

2. Derogatory term for slovenly nerdy people who have no sense of hygeine or grooming. Often related to hobbies such as card gaming, video gaming, anime, et. al.

It's become a term for nerds who play video games all the time because the men often fail to shave their necks and just shave their faces, although I don't have a neckbeard it does atually describe me pretty well XD

Ok no, I lie, I shower regularly, but I am slothenly

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Your method of washing hair may not work for me due to my luscious, flowing, flocks of impossibly long hair *sexily turns my head in slow motion, hair flowing hither and thither*

In all seriousness, I have never thought of doing that but I may give it a try...maybe...but probably not honestly. As for weird things that I do personally...I don't think most people speak in the past tense like I do or indeed, spell out things as well as I can while texting and while using omegle. Also, being an American, I'm pretty sure its uncommon for me to drench french-fries in mayonnaise and everything else (just about) in either red rooster sauce or, tonkatsu sauce.

Oh Shit, I forgot about the really weird thing! I'm 24 years old and yet I don't drink, smoke or indeed have ever used any drug (be it hard or, speculative like weed). I've never smoked but I've tried different alcoholic things. No beer has ever tasted good to me and while I kind of like white wine, I only needed to get drunk once to know that I absolutely hate the sensation of being dizzy despite laying down.
