We all know who "that guy" is. It's the one that most people don't know by birth name, but by some distinguishing characteristic; usually one no one says to their face because it's mocking or making-fun of them. Such as, "Do you know Dave So-and-so?...No? Oh, I mean Drunk Dave." i.e.: the guy who brings a case of beer with him wherever he goes, for no other reason than because he wants to make sure no one else drinks it. "Ohhhh, that guy."
There are many other "that guy" qualifications, such as "creeping", where you just say creepy things and weird everyone out, "scrooging", where the terrible tipping rumor spreads like wild fire and you hear "Bah, humbug!" way past the Christmas season, and "excessive blasting", where your bodily functions (like chair rumbling) will get you permanently labeled as "Toots McGoots" for life.
NOTE: These are real things, inspired by real life. If you think I don't know a "Toots McGoots", think again.
Everyone has their nights; drunk nights, sick nights, bad nights, and embarrassing nights. They key is to be normal every once in a while (with the exception of the creeping, scrooging, and blasting, which are pretty permanent labels).
You don't need a gimmick other than normalcy. We relish in the idea of having regular people who don't cause problems or make us reach for our pepper spray at the end of the night. Don't be "that guy".
