    How many people in the world have you met?

    An introduction, hello, giving a public talk, retail browse, telephone inquiry, workmates, customers, social group, holidays, family, new members of the family, religious services.

    For me I think it's only in the hundreds of thousands, maybe just short of 200,000 if I'm lucky.

    Only want to meet people I like. Makes about 80% of the world a waste.

    How many of that 200,000 did you shag OP?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,128 ✭✭✭✭aaronjumper


    No idea. More than 300? It's never been something that I've though about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,069 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    I'd imagine meeting a hundred thousand people would be unlikely for most. =/ Depends on what you mean by 'meet' though I suppose. To me meeting means being introduced to and/or introducing yourself to a person. Walking past them on a busy street isn't a meeting!

    I seriously doubt that I've met anywhere near that amount, or even either directly or indirectly interacted with them.

    I've been working part time in a call center for the last 5 years (while studying etc).
    I was only recently wondering how many different people I've spoken to over the years. Its got to be a fair whack of the country at this stage!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,313 ✭✭✭darlett


    Does meeting people online count?

    What if Im looking in their window at the time? [These Androids are great yokes]

    I hold the Guinness book of records title for shaking hands with the most people in a 1 hour period. It stands at 3,498 so technically I've met those people. If you add that to the other 4 people I met, that adds up to 3502. Do I win???

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭juan.kerr


    At least 50


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭sebastianlieken


    Just checked my stats online there,

    life stats: 23/09/2012
    People met: 359,561
    Male/Female Distr: 72:64
    K/D ratio: 3:0


    That's just a snippet. Also, it seems that I met most people between 2006-2010 ... which makes sense as that's when I was in uni.

    In real life, i have no idea. But on modern warefare two I've got 70k kills. Does that count as meeting?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,268 ✭✭✭BunShopVoyeur


    That's about as far as you can get from meeting actual people.
