.. I refuse to use the terms 'Tall, Venti or Grande' when ordering a hot beverage (indeed I'm not a coffee or tea connoisseur either - a simple mug of PG will do please!) and I have absolutely no tattoos whatsoever nor a beard!

What things or current fads that you don't partake in make you 'stand out' as an exception to the modern day crowd in this day and age?

I wind them up, sauntering up to the counter and asking for a large coffee.

I think I last bought a coffee in 2003 from a Costa at Crewe railway station. I can't grow a beard (perhaps once puberty hits) and all my tattoos are old.

I see friends online in the same way as friends in real life. As such my friends lists on the few social platforms I'm on are actual friends.

"Venti?"

"No, large please"

I'm not on bragbook or twatter or instagram or any of that look at me nonsense ( I prefer people to look at me naked on sex sites

)

I don't have a TV and I don't read newspapers full of bile or magazines full of images that make normal grown women feel bad about themselves.

I couldn't give a fuck about what is fashionable and REALLY don't care who has what and how much it was.

I'm far too old for any of this behaviour to be "cool" I'm just an old curmudgeon

When asked for email address by utilities or whomever, I politely decline. They ask how they can get in touch with me, I tell them to write; the old fashioned way! Doesn't go down well but I really don't give a toss.

HMV, John Lewis M&S etc, when taking stuff back and wanting a refund.......wtf is it with them ALL wanting my name and address when I paid in CASH??

I point blank refused and stood my ground! Had to ask the guy in HMV Oxford St to NOT shout at me as he really didn't need my details for an exchange.

I'm such a 2017 outcast.....and proud of it

No SkyTV, phone is for ringing people & I have a Nokia 6210 that I sometimes still use for a laugh.

I don't read newspapers, take every bit of TV "Catastrophe" news with a degree of sarcasm as I see things as global & usually related.

I have accounts on all the social media platforms but got bored with all of them in about an hour of the bullshit, fuck knows what my logins are..

In general when you see some twat has got a job for the RSPB counting birds on a deserted island for a year eating beans from a tin in the outer Hebredies or somewhere equally inhospitable....I wanna be that man..but can't..so I walk the dog round fields for hours seeing & hearing no one & I feel better than James Brown, I feel better now!

I've never used social media. In fact I have no idea what it's even all about. What the fuck's this hashtag thing I keep seeing mean?!

I don't care for mobile phones. I got my first one a couple of years ago and I just use it for Fab. I've never been in and changed any of the settings. I've downloaded about two apps in that time. I don't care what the adverts say...they are essentially useless pieces of shite!

I have no interest in tattoo's. At no point in my life will I wake up with the desire to have some random Maori symbols etched into my skin. I know Beck's has got some, but that's not a good enough reason for me!

I have no interest in growing a beard just because a few men that I don't care for in Hollywood started growing them a couple of years ago.

I have no interest in getting a poncy boyband-style haircut because that's what all the trendy blokes on the idiot box have.

I won't be listening to Adele or Ed Sheeran anytime this millenium. What they're warbling about doesn't speak to me and my life at all.

I will never buy bottled water. Why is anyone doing this?

The etymology of "OK" is very much disputed, but I've never heard that it's a shortening of "okay." I think you've got that wrong, Dan.

I have a Facebook page to keep in touch with selected friends. But I don't go in for the various games and such like that I get invited to join in with.

I don't have Twitter, What's App etc. If people cannot communicate in normal ways, that isn't my problem!

Why do companies or some individuals insist in using Skype as a means of communication? And why do you get the impression they sneer at you because you resist sourcing such means?

I once had an employment agency say several years ago that A) they'd not do business with me if I didn't have Skype installed and B), I wouldn't survive in this world without Skype!

What tosh. They lasted a year, then folded. I'm still here!

Why is it that you are considered out of touch if you don't have every technical or communicative gadget going??

I don't want to send a signal from my phone to switch on my heating, cooker, fridge lights and so on. That just encourages laziness.

Why can't people write a letter on paper, put it in an envelope, address the front, stick a stamp on it & mail it?

One last point on Coffee. A few years ago, I was with a friend in his local town centre and he went into his local Starbucks, Costa etc. They asked for his name but he chose not to supply it. He was asked again, so he replied, "You have two customers including me, so if you cannot remember two orders consecutively plus recall which customer is going to receive which order, then sadly, you are useless in your role. I'll now cancel my order and go to a small coffee bar round the corner where I will get my coffee without this rigmarole. You have lost a sale!

The Manager had the gall to tell my friend he wasn't welcome back, as he was 'a troublemaker'. Wrong move! My friend is a lawyer, and warned he'd sue if no apology was made. They didn't, he sued, and won his case.

As he said, two fingers up at multi nationals pointless policies.

Your possibly a decade to late. But I do like going into Starbucks and asking for a cup of coffee. It seems to confuse the shit out of them. And then a blank look when they ask venti?

The Town by The Cross

"I have a Facebook page to keep in touch with selected friends. But I don't go in for the various games and such like that I get invited to join in with.

I don't have Twitter, What's App etc. If people cannot communicate in normal ways, that isn't my problem!

Why do companies or some individuals insist in using Skype as a means of communication? And why do you get the impression they sneer at you because you resist sourcing such means?

I once had an employment agency say several years ago that A) they'd not do business with me if I didn't have Skype installed and B), I wouldn't survive in this world without Skype!

What tosh. They lasted a year, then folded. I'm still here!

Why is it that you are considered out of touch if you don't have every technical or communicative gadget going??

I don't want to send a signal from my phone to switch on my heating, cooker, fridge lights and so on. That just encourages laziness.

Why can't people write a letter on paper, put it in an envelope, address the front, stick a stamp on it & mail it?

As he said, two fingers up at multi nationals pointless policies."

Nah. Manager can bar who he likes.

What things or current fads that you don't partake in make you 'stand out' as an exception to the modern day crowd in this day and age?

I bet you succumbed to calling chips fries a long time ago Dan.

No one asks for a Fill A of fish with chips. Damn...... just realised that ordering those requires me to use french..... BASTARDS.

Don't worry about me i'm just VENTIng

Don't do coffee shops. I just like a cup of tea. No way I'm paying over 2 quid for a tea bag, hot water and a splash of milk. No idea why people would spend hours in there either.

Cup of tea at home costs about 4p. I take a bottle of (tap) water out if I want a drink while out. We're in the lucky list of countries (not a huge list) that have drinkable tap water. Why pay huge amounts for the same thing in a plastic bottle.

Twitter is rubbish. Full of idiots with idiot opinions based on no information.

Must stop ranting.....

There are many things...

I have never used Facebook, Twitter, Kik etc

I have never drank alcohol or coffee.

Never smoked.

I know I know... I am missing out. Heard it all before.

I guess I don't fit in with many norms...

And now the following

It is getting worse and worse for me as the years go on!

"The etymology of "OK" is very much disputed, but I've never heard that it's a shortening of "okay." I think you've got that wrong, Dan."

I always thought 'ok' is a shortening of 'okay' but now Marc.Courtney have made me think there is a difference. A tiny difference, but there is a different meaning

Oh please don't take 'ok' away from me...

It's probably similar to like if someone said 'maybe' instead of 'may be' ...

Now I am confused. Did not need this in 2017

Thanks a lot!

Actually damn yeah you're right!

Ah but in my defence 'fries' are very different from 'chips' aren't they? Fries are thin and long, chips are a lot more chunky! I don't ask for 'Fish & Fries' - that's my defence and I'm sticking to it

Look it up. Like I said, the etymology is disputed. However, it was originally "O.K." The irony is that most theories regarding its origin believe it to be an acronym for something else (showing that the fad for shortening words is hardly a modern/2017 phenomenon).

From Oxford Dictionary:

"A more likely explanation is that the term originated as an abbreviation of orl korrekt , a jokey misspelling of 'all correct' which was current in the US in the 1830s. The oldest written references result from its use as a slogan by the Democratic party during the American Presidential election of 1840. Their candidate, President Martin Van Buren, was nicknamed 'Old Kinderhook' (after his birthplace in New York State), and his supporters formed the 'OK Club'. This undoubtedly helped to popularize the term (though it did not get President Van Buren re-elected)."

From Oxford Dictionary:

When you said 'look it up' I was soo tempted to say okey dokey

I thought that would have been a witty reply, but you got the Oxford Dictionary involved so I decided to do as I am told for once.

However I have a confession...

I did start to look into this, but one thing led to another. You know what google is like!

I ended up checking the etymology of etymology.

As a result of these exchanges in posts, I decided to test the 'private notes' section and set a note on your profile.

Never knew how it appears as I have not done that before. I might add more notes in the future

Back to my outcast list:

I don't want tattoos or piercings either.

Not listing anymore things otherwise I will have no friends left!

Don't get contouring.

I forgot the full text so had to go back and check!

Oh yeah you should be scared.

It is my first note so it needed to be ridiculously witty

If you want the "porn star" look then contouring is the way forward!

So many young girls do it, it's quite sad

My vintage doc martens are really that old, not made to that spec so they can charge £250 for em.

The 14 hole cherries and the 10 hole black. 5th set of soles or something.

I have a straight razor I use (not for bloody chopping vegetables either)

I genuinely love my sexual partner for the 5 minutes following orgasm.

Don't it wrong and you come away looking like a drag queen, unless that's what they were aiming for
