NLR

Normal Looking Retard

An NLR, or "Normal Looking Retard" is that person you run into, often at a Goodwill or Salvation Army, that looks completely normal, but is completely messed up. T

The typical NLR is often wearing casual attire, maybe a pull over collared shirt with company branding on it and is almost never the first person to initiate a conversation. The NLR usually has a common name such as Brad or Kevin to help complete their disguise.

This lack of interaction should be your first warning sign that the person you are dealing with has not broken stealth and may be a NLR still hiding.

The interaction will blindside you and you'll walk away hurt, confused and perhaps a bit distressed thinking 'dang, that NLR got me that time.'
I pulled into Goodwill to drop off some of my junk the other day and found they had another NLR working the dock.

You: "Thanks for helping out. Can I get a drop off slip?"
Kevin: "NAAAAAAAAA"
