15. Sociopath
I worked with a guy who claimed that the Deadpool’s character background was based on him personally and his military career.
Had plenty of pictures of himself cosplaying as Deadpool and would proudly tell anyone who listened that he was a medically-diagnosed sociopath.Which is about the only one of his stories I could believe.
Spent a lot of time attempting to be witty in a dry and dark manner. Just came across as incredibly insensitive (i.e. offensive without comic timing) and often downright psychotic.
16. Photo ops
Went with a Comic Con with my girlfriend, who was dressed as Black Canary (I was Green Arrow). Naturally some people asked for pictures of us/with us, alright cool no big deal. What was weird were the amount of guys that wanted a picture of just her. One guy even came up, asked if he could take a picture with us, and after we agreed, he handed me the camera. Oh, ok, I see what this is.
But the cringiest moment was this one guy, maybe 20 years older than us. He asked for a picture of her, was used to it at this point so it’s whatever, then proceeds to spend a good sixty seconds taking the photo. I don’t know if he was taking multiple photos or trying to get the perfect boob pic or what, but ain’t no way it takes you a full minute to take a single photo on a cell phone. Still, the day was super fun, and hopefully we get a chance to go back in the future.
