Is there a word for this?

So, you're walking along minding your own business and someone else is walking toward you. While they're making eye contact with you, you hear them say "What is your ####ing problem, anyway?" and then you notice they are talking into their smart phone so you don't know who the target is. :doh:



Back in the days before smart phones, we called this "Schizophrenia" but I'm wondering if there is a new word to describe it?

:k_confused:

Paranoia :)

Some years back, before we all had mobiles, this bloke bustled past on Tonbridge railway station talking at the top of his voice to himself - or so it seemed. I thought he'd escaped from somewhere until I saw the diddy little microphone stuck to his stupid head. It then seemed to me that he just wanted everybody to notice him & how important he was. I thought: "tosser"

Next time your out and are about to pass someone travelling in the opposite direction....as you are about to cross, say in a hushed voice but still at a level that is audible to them "Did you bring the money"?

I thought: "tosser"...I just looked that up! 'Tosser' in britspeke is not the same as 'tosser' in downunderer Reecespeke!!?:shucks::O::arrgh!: I'll be using that one in the 5 word story thread!:yeah:

^ :haha: Believe me, we also commonly mean it to describe a compulsive self-abuser
