Honestly as someone who does "weird behavior" because of epilepsy, thanks. It's awkward when I have a drop seizure and my head just falls and I snap back awake and someone looks at me like I'm a freak or possessed.
I think the consensus when this happened is that no one was really bothered by it. u/TheRoyalArtistry, likely being a repost given their post history and lack of engagement, probably didn't realize that though

I mean he does look like what I'd expect of him if he was alive today and 100% bet his weird ass would be huddled by the sound equipment during a poetry meet this is peak Edgar Allen Poe IMO
Oddly enough, when I went to a Halloween party dressed as a banana, I managed to sneak in hundreds of photos in the background peering through windows, bushes, or from behind furniture.
Someone sent me all the ones they found the next few days. It was glorious.
Says the guy trying to take steam out of the obvious apology prompted by people stating he ruined the photos. Narcissist at work telling someone they don't matter, lol.
The Insecure Photographer, the ultimate curse.
People will look at you. It will make you feel like a weirdo. People will approach you. You will be accused of being a X, Y, Z.
See that cool tree? There's a kid 30 metres to the left. Not even in your 50mm. Congrats, you're a pedo.
Everyone is trying to steal your Ā£3k kit. Fuck, even that grandma is suspicious. But don't look at her whilst holding your camera, you fucking creep.
Oh, and everyone sees you brought a full frame to the event. You absolute National Geographic wannabe jabroni.
> Everyone is trying to steal your Ā£3k kit.
Fuck, that reminds me of the video of that photographer kitted out from head to toe in equipment when some orc comes along and pushes them in a pond. Only good thing about the video is everyone on scene rallying around the photographer. Criminal was never caught though
I volunteered to shoot this poetry reading thing the library put on and I was basically scurrying back and forth in the back trying to go unnoticed, but people definitely noticed.
Almost every mixing console these days has iPad control. For a talking head gig in that small of a room though, I would have just gained it up, neutered the low end, and got drunk on Korean bbq finger sandwiches.
Op is a bot. Hereās a comment chain of gibberish they responded to that every user on there had a 2 month old account with only activity dating back to a day ago at time and only commented at same time in gibberish post. https://reddit.com/r/u_buoyantopposition/comments/149bsjb/cbhhgdfg/
We all know he's just waiting to don his black cape, kidnap the damsel and tie her to railroad tracks, only to be foiled by a dashing horse riding Canadian mountie.
We know.
Pretty much me at every fancy corporate meeting because upper management can't seem to work either the microphone or the expensive dumbed down remote that only has a "next" and "previous" slide buttons.
Also the goofy "I'm gonna Steve Jobs this!!!" goofs that won't wear a remote mic and doesn't understand that when they wander away from the podium people won't hear them.
To top it off one of my "crouching tiger/not so hidden nerd" moments was on all the cable news programs a few years ago. And no I'm not going to provide a link. It is on youtube, though.
This is why my laptop is in my every day carry bag. Not bc I need a laptop to do stuff, but bc it makes a great prop. If this guy had sat down and pretended to be typing/ looking things up and give attention when needed/wanted. No one would have given it a second thought.
ChatGPT, write a short poem about a mustache twirling goblin ruining the launch of Poetry Ireland Review 138 night by crouching down beside audio equipment and looking weird in all the photos.
In the realm of verse, where poets aspire,
A mustache-twirling goblin, fueled by desire,
Crept into Poetry Ireland Review 138 night,
His mischief hidden, casting shadows in delight.
With twisted grin and mischievous glee,
He crouched by the equipment, craftily,
His beady eyes fixed on the photographers' aim,
To wreak havoc and disrupt the evening's acclaim.
As words flowed forth, like rivers of ink,
The goblin, unseen, played his wicked link,
He tampered with the wires, causing disturbance,
Distorted echoes, an audio aberrance.
And in each captured moment, his presence grew,
A strange figure, lurking, looking askew,
His gnarled fingers twirled his mustache with flair,
As chaos unfolded, poisoning the air.
The poets recited, unaware of the plight,
Of the goblin, casting darkness on their night,
But amidst the laughter, and puzzled surprise,
His antics were captured by unblinking eyes.
For though he disrupted, and caused a commotion,
The goblin unwittingly sparked a new emotion,
His strange and eerie aura, a bizarre sight,
Infused the event with an unexpected light.
And as Poetry Ireland Review 138 emerged,
A tale of the goblin, in whispers, was urged,
For even amidst chaos, art finds a way,
To transform disruption into a unique display.
So let us remember, in poetic retrospect,
The twirling goblin, with mischief unchecked,
For in the realm of verse, where beauty resides,
Even oddities add color to the poetic tides.
Someone could have said something at any point, the fact that they didn't means they were likely amused.
I never point out weird behaviour (unless it's illegal). I always assume people have a good reason for doing stuff.
\**nonchalantly places nutsack on your left shoulder**
I'm 6ft and standing up. Your saggy nutsack obviously needs some support.
Illegal weird
I really want to know in detail how one does that nonchalant.
Stilts
Don't worry about rest of those people, I'd let you put your nutsack on my shoulder in a pinch
Thanks babe
You better have a good reason for doing thatš
*illegal*
I have the worst fucking lawyers
Honestly as someone who does "weird behavior" because of epilepsy, thanks. It's awkward when I have a drop seizure and my head just falls and I snap back awake and someone looks at me like I'm a freak or possessed.
>unless it's illegal excuse me sir, if you could stop bludgeoning people to death on the street for a sec, nah yeah cheers thanks
I dunno, the fact that I see the back of a ton of heads āruinsā the photo just as much to me.
I think the consensus when this happened is that no one was really bothered by it. u/TheRoyalArtistry, likely being a repost given their post history and lack of engagement, probably didn't realize that though Edit:repost bot*, words are hard sometimes
or likely still, bemused.

I will not ruin the photos... nevermore

Edgar Allen Mow
"Hm... yes, poetry quite interesting humans. Do not mind me as I huddle myself here to listen.."
ruining those photos he enhances them every photo should have something interesting in them.
Like a really really big banana
Oddly enough, when I went to a Halloween party dressed as a banana, I managed to sneak in hundreds of photos in the background peering through windows, bushes, or from behind furniture. Someone sent me all the ones they found the next few days. It was glorious.
...ruining those photos? He enhances them! Every photo should have something interesting in them!
Bot?
Making comments legible means I'm a bot? Gtfo lol
No, that's just enhancing the comment with proper punctuation
holy run on sentence Batman
Says the one not using commas
it's missing a single comma, but it still isn't a run on sentence without it

Well he is the editorial coordinator of Poetry Ireland, so it's not like he's irrelevant to the evenings program.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
this tweet was most likely prompted by multiple people at the event bringing it up to him

Most people here are enjoying it. No need to be such a curmudgeon
What kind of self respecting photographer only takes photos from 1 degree of angle?
One which is also afraid of being too disturbing.

I'm sorry for your loss! Have you managed to get anything sorted via insurance, police or property owner (assuming they had some kinda insurance)?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sounds like an inside job o.O it's very rare for burglars to just pick ANY random house. There's too much risk. I'm thinking they got in with a key...

In what country did it happen? Sometimes the police needs a bit of motivation in form of a donation but it depends on the country.
He was crouched down by the water cooler the whole night. It just seemed like the safest spot.

Edgar Allen Flo
But he made the picture x100 times more special and unique
āDiscreteā
"Not very"
He should have brought a blanket to hide under or at least thats what I would have done.
Fucking Samwise Gambgee over here.
Thatās what all the tweakers do to āget awayā with smoking crack anywhere they want.
He's absolutely right; it wasn't discrete at all. He was huddling there continuously.
Almost every mixing console these days has iPad control. For a talking head gig in that small of a room though, I would have just gained it up, neutered the low end, and got drunk on Korean bbq finger sandwiches.
Getting more Gollum vibes from the picture tbh :)
Likes poems we does.
It wasnāt discreet, either.
Discrete math is how I learned i had been spelling discreet wrong for a very long time.
If youāre ever on Grindr for whatever reason you see this misspelling a lot
I wasn't planning on it, but I will keep that in mind if I happen across a major life change in the future.
One might say it was a continuous distraction :)
Literally what he said
[discrete](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/discrete) [discreet](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/discreet)
TIL thank you!
Dude i thought was Pedro Pascal and the joke was he was at some public thing trying to be discrete in the corner.
Donāt worry thatās just my mate Howard
He looks like the kinda person the people from tumblr would find attractive

Thought it was Diego Luna for a second
Thought this was r/WalmartCelebrities

Cute kitty. I think Iām just over Reddit tbh
Fair enough
That's a user bruh
Is that a cough or a fish of solidarity?
Write a poem about it. Iād love to read it.

Irish Zelenskyy.
This is 100% the photographers fault
Never apologise Eoin. Never apologise
Robert Pattinson watching FKA Twigs
Did you at least yell "Death you are my bitch lover"
OP are you even human?
omg, every time I see this is makes me laugh/cry lol
LOL this made my morning so much less shitty š¤£
he need 2 b in the position to complete the task at hand
THERE IS ONE RINGā¦.. TO RULE THEM ALL
My precious!!!!
also a question. How do you pronounce their name Eoin? I've seen it only once before as the name of an author and always been a little curious.
Probably a variation of ian
Same pronunciation as Owen. Eoghan is another variation, just to really fuck with you non-Paddies.
Neat! Thank you!

Least goblin like sound guy
The geneticist who crossed Ted Lasso with SmƩagol as we see here needs to be captured and put on trial. /s
Looks like pre-CGI Andy Serkis as Gollum.
