No really. What the title said. But normally it would be bat shit crazy, but even MY Facebook page would block it as spam, sweary sweary spam so I PG’ed it. Anyway. Moving on.
There are people you come across in life that no reason can explain their behaviour, you can have all the empathy in the world but when all the cards are on the table it’s a simple matter that they have a screw loose. This can be charming. Some of the best people I know are absolutely unique in their thoughts, ideas and processes. This can also be frustrating and shake your head, ball your fists infuriating.
Some people you wonder how they function like that.
I work in property. I was a property manager for years and met my fair share of unique characters on all sides of the renting fence. People who when confronted with a perfectly normal situation would give you the strangest response. And others who in the strangest of circumstances would be perfectly at home. People are weird and wonderful things.
WEIRD. WONDERFUL.
To be honest I’m not even sure why I’m writing this. I was just sitting at work today and scribbled down people are bat shit crazy on a postit and stuck it in my blogging notebook and here I am. I wonder now do people even use that saying where they are? Does it translate…? Oh well. I guess I’ll know in the morning. Until then I’m happy to share my love, gratitude, frustration and awe inspiring what the heckness when it comes to people with all of you.
And that’s about all I have to say about that. Lucky there’s a real post scheduled for tomorrow. HA.

Thanks to Rah of Rahest.com.au for so perfectly demonstrating the best of the crazy people in the photo above. She’s the funnest friend a girl could ask for.
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
I use that phrase all the time. At work. While driving. At home. People are LOONS. You must see them all in your job. At least in mine they’re only on the phone :p
Haha. LOONS indeed! We see a fair few, that’s for sure. 😉
I think bat shit crazy translates in any language. Lol.
So I hear! Haha. I worried it might have just been something that people around here say. Apparently not. 😉
Yes I do use the term, quite frequently. Maybe it’s a Queensland thing but it is a very accepted term here in Townsville/Cairns. I used to see it alot when I worked in tourism. People would have a meltdown because they turned up for the 11:30 boat at 11:40 and didn’t understand why “it didn’t wait for them” (it was a ferry, public transport – no bookings) and other things like that.
I did wonder if it was a Queensland thing too. Glad to hear it’s international. Haha. Oh my goodness. That tourism story is SO property management. People getting angry at US because they are behind in rent or had to clean their property after vacate and how dare we let it get that bad… Umm, what!?
Sanity is completely overrated. Normal is boring. x
Indeed it is.
Rambly, bat shit crazy post…….love it, you know I do. Of course it translate whether you package it up with those words or not, we all know or have encounter crazy MOFO’s and situations.
I’m glad, thank you Trudie. You’re right, of course. Crazy MOFO’s. HA.
Batshit crazy is definitely a thing in NYC, both as a phrase and as embodied in people you encounter on a daily basis 🙂
YES! A perfect example.
Love the post.
Work in education and you will find that kids come with something called parents. Work in special education and the kids come with batshit parents and batshit lawyers, It is amazeballs, what people come up with.
I think our whole world says it is ok to be batshit crazy. There used to be some sense or norms, but those have gone away.
Oh, batshit is one of my favorite words.
Haha. Glad it translates! I was worried for a moment that I was one of the only ones who said it. Phew. I guess you just don’t hear it much in general conversation. And I do not envy you. Batshit crazy parents and lawyers would have to be THE WORST.
Yep and it’s international lol xx
Haha. Nice! Hiya RI family. We miss you here!
LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE ANYTHING BUT CRAZY
love your guts xoxoxoxo
Indeed it is my friend.
Right back at you!
