Confused-what have I done here that is so "autistic&quo
I mentioned getting a bit of hassle on a forum a while ago-I've since left that forum, but still post on a larger forum that some people on the other forum still lurk on.
When I post on that forum, one of the users on the old forum takes it upon himself to update them on what I'm doing, rather oddly. Yesterday, I posted about how my new years eve went: He immediately jumped to find my post history, and introduced it with this lovely introduction:
Cutting the apron strings for the first time, will our hero take on the Big Smoke head first and finally do what kids 6 years his junior are already doing? Will he actually find someone to smooch with come The Bells at 12?
Read on and find out!! !

Couldn't really get TOO drunk. Two reasons for this. Firstly, the toilets. After 2 cans of carlsberg at around 9PM, I decided to go to the toilet. I found them, and was confronted with a HUGE queue for the portaloos. And the queue moved at a rate of about one person per minute. When I finally got to the toilet...there appaared to be no way of washing your hands-what seemed to be the tap didn't seem to work. At half 10 I finally managed to fight my way through the crowds to my friends-having to avoid tripping over people sitting on the floor. They were very relieved as they were about to send out a search party I'd been gone so long. After that ordeal, I didn't want to fully "break the seal" as it were, so I was a bit nervous about drinking anymore in case I had to make another two hour toilet trip.
Second reason is that in a place like London, especially on NYE, when it's really crowded trying to get back to the tube, you need your wits about you. Especially someone like me who isn't the most streetwise of people at the best of times.
The whole standing up for 5 hours solid thing.
Summary:
Good experience, but definitely not something I'd do every year. Very draining, but worth it.
Here are some of the responses it got:
f**k. f**k. I'm trying to find words.
Does he need to sit down or what?
Now I genuinely don't understand what's so bad about that? I'm sure I'm not the only person who tries to avoid peeing in public unless there are absolutely no toilets available? Maybe it's the fact that I didn't get completely paralytically drunk that made them act like I just admitted to being attracted to animals or something?
Maybe I am just answering as an autistic person here... But I can't see anything wrong with what you posted. It sounds like these people are complete weirdos who don't like anything dfferent. Don't listen to what they have to say unless they can give you some constructive criticizm!
Plus my NT mum freaks out if there's no sinks available. That's not an autistic thing!

I don't think it matters what you say. They have targeted you for abuse. I would leave that forum without explanation. They don't deserve one and they wouldn't get it anyway. If that kind of thing happens here it is very quickly stopped thanks to the moderators and/or other members coming to your defense.

I thought anyone would have washing their hands after using the toilet as a must do. Especially if its a toilet that's been used by all sorts of people, who could have any kinds of infections that could easily be passed on via said toilet. Swine flu for instance perhaps.
I agree. They're not worth caring about.
