Topic: Things you find..weird

[AlphaDelta]

What I find really weird (and really annoying) is this sudden trend of people calling themselves 'auditors' and going to police stations, factories, places of work, and filming. Its all to get a reaction but its everywhere lately. They speak to people like shit, have a terrible attitude and poke a camera in their face.

I just can't get me head around why you'd do that?

You're not allowed to give a bad reference but you can refuse to give one entirely so it's very rare or totally stupid to give an ex employer as a character reference if they were sacked.

Most ex employer references are usually just to confirm they worked for or with you, that the dates and timescale of the employment is correct and their job title/role is correct.

You absolutely are as long as it is accurate.

They're just absolute bellends that can't get a real job and have no social life.

Barney is aware of these facts through auditing the individuals concerned...

Do we still have GDPR? Pretty sure you can sue them, if they publish thwir videos of you without your explicit consent.

This is a thing? Take the camera off them, turn it off, then kick fuck out of them.

I fear its becoming the latest craze for the bellends in life, I watched one the other night, they were at the new police HQ in town, literally deserve a running kick up the arse.

[SamLad]

is that some kind of TikTok bullshit?

Would love an Armed Response officer to mistake them for a terrorist and shoot the c*nt

A customer was rude as fuck with our kid once at work in the pub, talked to him like a piece of shit. When our kid was off duty, the fella ended up lying on the floor in the bogs with a bust nose and covered in his own piss.

It would be easier to list things I don't think are weird.

That's exactly what would have happened back in the 70's and 80's.

Christmas morning, parents are shouting at my brother through the bathroom door because the boiler is fired up but shouldn't have been at that hour - it's assumed my brother is taking a second unnecessary and expense shower. Turns out he was in fact brushing his teeth with hot water. Says he always does it. Says it supposed to be done with hot water. Weirdo.

It has been weeks since this happened but it still keep coming to mind because I can no longer pick up my own toothbrush without thinking about it.

Hmm, i thought everyone used warm water to brush their teeth(when available).That's weird.

Never heard of anyone using warm water.

You shouldn't use water anyway, you should just brush then spit the toothpaste out

Yep, I brush without water, then spit the paste before rinsing with cold water.

[tubby]

My missus wets her toothbrush before adding the toothpaste, then the toothpaste is wet if I use it after her, which always freaks me out a tiny bit.  It's mad, though, it's going to get wet in your mouth anyway but it still feels wrong.

I do that as well, I don't even know why any more, I've just always done it. I think it probably makes me gag a bit without it, like it's too dry with just the paste on it.

Makes me heave when people swallow the dirty toothpaste instead of spitting as well, although I'm sure there's a sign in my dentists telling you it's better to to do that now. Why would you want to swallow all the yack you've just cleaned off your teeth?

It's been happening in the US for years, but I've noticed UK ones popping up on Youtube this last year. A lot of it seems linked to the 'Sovereign Citizen' type of person, who naturally assumes that all organisations and institutions are corrupt and often have it out for them, personally. Maybe they think they'll catch some evidence of misdeeds by hanging around with a camera?

I have no idea what leads these people to do this, but they come up with important sounding channel names that often have 'news' in them. Lots of videos of them getting arrested though, but I guess as it's only trespassing they aren't held for long and have nothing else going on so carry on doing it.

I do that. Suppose it just rinses off any dust that has settled on it or whatever. No idea really.

I don't rinse my mouth out after spitting the toothpaste out. Dentist years ago said not to as the toothpaste is still working away after you have finished brushing.

[Crosby Nick]

Fellow toothbrush wetter here too. Why wouldn’t you?

Also give it a little splash of water once the toothpaste has been applied to. I like it moist.

Yes I do that as well, it hadn't even occurred to me until you said it, it's like an automatic reaction.

One of my friends used to walk around with her brush in her mouth for ages when we were younger, just watching her do it made me gag. How could you keep brushing like that with no water?

[rob1966]

Another who wets the toothbrush. Been doing it since I was a kid. One thing my missus beat out of me when I moved in with her was leaving the tap running while I was brushing my teeth.

Mancunians know what a rare and precious commodity water is.

seriously though, leaving it running is really wasteful.

I'm dreadful for that, but we've just had water meters fitted so that might make me more careful now!

haha. Yeah, that little splash on top of the toothpaste ensures an optimum brushing experience .

She'd had a meter fitted not long after she bought the house.

You never think of that as kids and then it just became a bad habit

I've been doing it most of my adult life, and still forget about it more often than not.

[reddebs]

I'm obviously very weird then as I don't use water before or after the toothpaste and I spend the 5-10mins brushing checking out the garden from various upstairs windows 😂

There's so much happening at this time of year though.  Birds noseying in the nest boxes, new birds arriving at the feeders and the ewe's are about to start lambing. 

It beats checking out the neighbours mate ☺️
