 |  |  | Funny/silly/stupid things people say to you about UE
< on 4/1/2011 12:22 AM >
|  | | | When people hear I UE, or see photos of it, many of them say, "Oh, you must be soooo brave! I'd be way too scared to go into places like that!" Which I suppose is valid, but it still amuses me because srsly, I'm the biggest chickenshit you'll ever meet. Abandoned places just aren't scary to me, that's all. If anything, I'm more afraid of irate property owners than boogeymen in empty houses.
Do people say any dumb things to you about UE?

| | | | All of the above +
"I don't get it."
"How did you get in?"
"You have to take me on a trip sometime." The I go on a trip and same person says - "Thanks for not inviting me."
Hence why I barely put anything on facebook anymore.

| | | | Just remembered a few more:
"Are you an architect?"
"I don't want to look at people's old crap."
(in relation to a building I was denied permission to enter) "Take me next time, I'll break us in!" (yeaaaahhh, not my cup of tea)
I get the "where is this??" a lot too. If I have already shot a location I will sometimes share. if I haven't shot it yet I don't tell.

I just don't understand why people are totally unable to comprehend the concept of UE. When you tell people about it, you may as well tell them that you like to collect puke in glass jars, by the way that they react. The idea of going into "off-limits" (to them, at least) or humanless areas does not jive with their submissive, pattern-conditioned, linear form of consciousness.
It seems like our modern societal standards program people into assuming that abandoned and forgotten places hold nothing of worth to them. This is probably true in a material sense only - water-damaged buildings hold nothing of financial value, but people overlook the intangible values of adventure, greater understanding of spaces, the feeling of history, and the sheer fun of exploring. The poor dumb bastards just can't conceive of why you would want to go to a place which does not have other people, air conditioning, and a lighted red EXIT sign. We're very lucky to know better, despite the frustrations of talking to people who just don't get it. I think we owe a debt to our favorite abandonments, tunnels, drains, and other facilities, and it should be our responsibility to be the keepers of local history, to protect our dark little corners, and to share the wonder of discovery with the uninitiated.

They say "you can't judge a book by its cover!" I say "YES you can, if the cover has a girl on it with a cock in her mouth, its PORN!" if she's 18 and the cock is black, its GREAT porn! |
