He says he’s seen aliens with his own eyes and has a photo to prove it ..
When asked to show the photo he completely changed the subject
He then claimed that every time he Tweets about UFOs he gets 4 million views … so I checked and it’s absolute nonsense
He then proudly announced that Putin sent him a spoon !!!
It’s absolutely frightening to learn that he has over 40,000 gullible followers

People making assumptions, especially about people they only know barely (if at all). Everyone has a story and things about them that would surprise you and at the end of the day their existence is their existence. No-one’s an island but (Siamese twins aside) no-one has two heads, either. If truly you hate to assume and presume, then it’s best to just not do it at all. Even people you otherwise actually know pretty well can still take you by surprise. Guess all you like if you have to but don’t make active assumptions, especially if you’re going to run with them without having it confirmed from the actual horse’s mouth. Assumptions can be deadly and you can’t guess decades of the finest details of another person’s existence. It’s foolish to think you can, no matter how well you know them. A lot of things go unexpressed and unsaid and it can be better that way. You ain’t going to have tabs on the innermost details of every second of someone else’s experience of life.

Why did the BBC manipulate this genuine photograph of white voter's hand to
make it black in 95% white Wales?
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/08/25/21/74736767-0-image-a-23_1692995677891.jpg
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/08/25/21/74736769-0-image-a-22_1692995663829.jpg
The BBC was facing questions last night after it admitted using a 'blacked up'
image as part of its election coverage.
Politicians rounded on the corporation after it emerged staff might have
doctored an image of a white woman's hand to make it look like it was that of
a black voter.
An almost identical photo with a white hand had been used in a previous
story about voting four years earlier.
A BBC spokesman said: 'It appears that the photograph used as part of this
graphic has been altered, which, although there is no intention to mislead,
should not have happened and is not acceptable BBC practice. We will be
reminding our staff of this.'

There are some sad people out there, who want everyone to lead the same empty, overly grind-and-hustle lives that they do. Half of the people actively choosing that horrid lifestyle don’t even have that much extra money to show for it (if any at all).

Not being allowed to progress on a job re. something you could do with your eyes closed because you need to be officially competency-checked/signed off/etc. or you risk getting into trouble. It just creates a situation where you’re basically short-staffed and all because you’re not allowed to use your initiative. Which is annoying when it’s something you actually know how to do, but you just have to keep on waiting and waiting until upper management says it’s officially okay.
Life’s enough of a patient waiting game as it is. Let’s just cut to it and do things properly. It shouldn’t take forever to authorise people moving on to a level that reflects their capabilities and the requirements of the job. It’s not fair on anyone. If you’re very capable and competent but officially slowed down because you’re new, that can be a big pain.

Doctors/pharmacists who are totally incapable of showing empathy (I really am speaking on behalf of the masses with this one). It helps when patients/customers actually feel comfortable with you and they deserve to be comfortable. The coldness of the doctor who gave Lola (EastEnders) her diagnosis is such an infuriating example of how lacking in healthy communication skills some of these people can be. There’s doing things by the book and there’s being overly matter-of-fact about what’s going on with all the sensitivity of a bag of cement. At least learn to smile.

Yep, lad. That’s London for you. At least in Liverpool people will give you the time of day and smile at you in passing. London’s just extremely cold and stranger-danger like (which isn’t totally unjustified considering the amount of crime that happens there). There’s a lot I like about London but in terms of lack of normal sympathy it is the unmitigated dumpiest of the dumps. People just don’t care in the way you’d expect a normal human-being to.

To be fair, I’ve only properly been to Birmingham once (it was for a wedding; I’ve only stopped by on coaches since) but I know what you mean. All cities have their stereotypes and things about them that are genuinely not so good but Liverpool’s a unique city in many, many ways and one where the general public by-and-large seem to actually have a heart. The latter just can’t be said about London. Your people are your people wherever in the world you are and people can be nice on an individual basis but the conglomerate bustle there is as cold as it gets. You come across nice people everywhere (especially Dagenham ways) but the overall environment can be unsympathetic and cold. In places like Liverpool there’s a bit more engagement with you, for better or worse.
All-in-all there are better places to raise a family. Better job opportunities if you’re not doing blue-collar healthcare or police work (and black police officers seem to be represented and respected more outside London) and a bit more bustle in terms of things to do but it’s extremely expensive, cold in mentality and can be suffocating. You’re much bettrr off in one of the Home Counties and commuting into London if you can’t honestly afford anything more than in some box with 12 other people trying to shoe-horn in. London itself is a dump if you’re not rich or you’re not there specifically because you need a certain type of lifestyle that you can only get (at least on that scale) in London. Otherwise it’s just somewhere to visit/work, not live. I love Kent and I love a lot of what London has to offer (despite it sounding like I’m just crapping on it) but I’d think long and hard about actually living in London. I have lots of family down there and I’ve been down there and back up to Liverpool and other places across the U.K. for as long as I can remember and then some so it wouldn’t be that big a jump but like I say I’d think twice about not just living in Kent instead and only visiting London when need be.

Seriously, people who expect you to be at the door waiting for them when they decide to turn up (no matter if you’ve worked a 13-hour night shift and are fast asleep or you’re in the show). The least you can do is let the other person you’re coming if you’re not super-close. Only best friends are allowed to just turn up on the doorstep without notice. It’s so rude and entitled. If it’s a surprise-visit, you may or may not get lucky and you’ll just have to deal with whichever way it goes. People do actually have lives to live and other things to do than wait for you when they don’t even know you’re coming in the first place (no shade, no disrespect, but come on).
At the moment, having to wait a week between Strictly episodes (I’m actually really getting into it this year). These past 2 weeks have been lit.
People who always find something to whinge, mumble and complain about (if I haven’t said that one already). The irony is a lot of these people are the ones complaining that no-one gives them any peace but they by their actions are more opposed to it than anyone else. Just let there be peace when there doesn’t need to be drama or high tension. Life’s too … not super-short by any means but ya. It’s not long enough to mumble about trivial things, not when there’s enough space in the world to make you miserable as it is without finding some for no reason. And in any case it’s a waste of time. If it’s not going to matter of 5 minutes or 5 hours, try not to spend more than 5 seconds or minutes grumbling about it. Life will always bring minor annoyances and they’ll come and go. There’s no point extending the come part. So if you want to be angry (and we all have our moments, and rightfully so), warrant it towards things that truly deserve your anger. Not someone eating the last eclair by accident.

It really is. If you gonna waffle, at least provide the cut-off second-point to where the video actually gets tangible and relevant. At least make it easy for people to skip the unnecessary stuff if they don’t want that. When it’s rubbish or just not that interesting to you it’s just useless white noise that’s long and nothing to do with why you’re trying to watch the video in the first place. By all means beef up your pre-anecdotes and roll them out for a second (not even gonna say a minute, still) but at least get to the point on a tangible schedule. Or at least make it easy for people to know where you have if you not gonna keep the intro short.
It’s like in certain places of work. No-one really likes an unnecessarily long handover that’s just wasting time and trying to force the same level of feeling they have for certain people there onto you. Like you’re supposed to care as much that Mr Donald’s a dick or Karen from the other office ignored them at the water-cooler and was caught shopping at Aldi the other Tuesday despite claiming to be a Waitrose-only snob (maybe she just wanted cash-back so she could eat a Greek restaurant that only takes cash). Unless we know the people or circumstances on a similar level, people don’t care. And they don’t want to listen to someone by the wall standing there talking forever about stuff that’s got nothing to do with them and who the fakest flop-snob of the week is. They just want to know/fill in the deets on what’s been what during those 8/12 hours so they can do their job or get out the door and go home/the pub. The fluff is unnecessary.

Yup. Sometimes it’s not about revenue extending though. Sometimes it’s just people talking too much and not getting to the point even when there’s no incentive for the video to be any longer than it needs to be. Even if it’s going to be long, at least let it be relevant-long instead of doing a makeup tutorial for half of it or doing a 10-minute introduction.

If it was under-diagnosed in the past, it’s over-diagnosed now. Sometimes the diagnosis is self-diagnosis that happens on TikTok and it’s just crazy.

People get spooked when they hear about how unpleasant and uncomfortable OCD can be for the person going through it. People who have sexual, religious and violent obsessions that they know are going to be completely misunderstood by people who don’t fully get OCD and the spectrum of it would feel much more at ease if it was just a case of them being extra-clean and they’d say they had no problem at all if that was their only problem. Seeing OCD as a disorder of excessive cleanliness and constantly framing it as that alone doesn’t help. Yes, that’s some of it for a certain proportion of people with OCD and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder but that’s not even the half of it.

…when there is a new TV series being shown and you’re waiting to binge it all at the end …but there are articles about it everywhere on the internet and avoiding spoilers becomes a huge challenge…
yeah, i hate having to wait a week on the next episode, i much prefer to binge watch. With a binge watch, you can get totally immersed in the story
…also, you can just pay for the one month subscription to binge the series plus any other series on there that look interesting…?….lots of True Detective articles for the new series are everywhere atm…it’s good that it’s looking good and popular but harder to avoid….
My strategy is to go for the streamers that have special offers then cancel at the end of the term. Outside of that, i rotate among them taking 1 month at a time and catching up. It works well and means i'm never paying for more than 1 or 2 subs at any time

Jujutsu Kaisen fans having a meltdown at IGN giving the Shibuya Arc a 6/10.
The review didn't even say anything that bad.:laugh:
And I had someone on YouTube accuse me of being a "pseudo intellectual" and "having deranged behaviour" just because I can understand IGN's review of the Show.
Absolutely pathetic behaviour from that particular individual that just can't accept different opinions, and tbh the JJK fandom in general just doesn't seem to know how to debate without insulting the people with opposing viewpoints, it is really poor behaviour, and plays into very negative stereotypes of an Anime fan.
And the thing is I didn't mind Jujutsu Kaisen's First Season on a shallow level, but it doesn't have enough depth for me to give the second Season a chance, especially with what I've been hearing about the Season.
But apparently not thinking that JJK is the best fictional story of all time, and demanding more from the story is wrong apparently.
Never has an Anime fandom made me so angry with all of the insults, and just completely disingenuous arguments that they've been making about IGN and anyone that doesn't think that JJK is a 10/10, rather than just accepting that people have different opinions, or making arguments as to why they think that the Shibuya Incident does have more to itself than just fight scenes, they instead start insulting people that agree with IGN's review (which was a fair amount of people tbh) absolutely pathetic behaviour.
And look I know that it's not every JJK fan that behaves like a 14 year old, but unfortunately a sizable portion of them do.

Everyone’s on some sort of spectrum in the grand scheme of basically every personality type out there being connected to some pathology at the more extreme end (physical and mental, like there’s a connection between bipolar disorder and diabetes for example now) but that doesn’t mean that being a bit inattentive sometimes for any number of reasons is ADHD or every social quirk under the sun is autism.

Yup, sadly. And the thing is with these labels is that the more you internalise them the more you start to become your self-diagnosis. Unless you’re willing to take medication to weed out the more undesirable parts of whatever neurodivergency it is you think you might have more inner traits of than average (and there is medication out there for all of it), what’s the point in making yourself more and more neurodivergent and then suddenly expecting people to accommodate for you completely differently than they have for the past 25/50 years of your life? Especially when you don’t even have an official diagnosis.
So I really don’t get this obsession people have these days with wanting to be and identify as neurodivergent. It’s almost as bad as this trend from 2018-ish of people identifying as non-binary. I’m all for LGBTQ+ inclusivity but unless you’re intersex or transitioning you’re either a straight-up male or female, period. Never mind all this nonsense of pronouns. People in themselves are phenomenally diverse and complex but the binary division of biological sex has only few genuine exceptions. You’re not “non-binary” just because you wanna be.

I feel like I’ve said this before (and no doubt I’ve said loads about this topic elsewhere) but people conflating mild depression and anxiety with the full spectrum of depression. There’s feeling low and there’s hearing voices telling you to kill yourself, thinking you’ve become Lucifer, being unable to move or eat and needing electroconvulsive therapy. The only type of depression that’s mild is mild depression, and the next step from even that untreated is suicide, so it’s still serious. But severe depression is something completely different and I think about of people are ignorant as to how deep it can go. Someone who can only feed via catherisation in hospital and is in a world of nihilistic delusion and voices urging them to jump off the nearest skyscraper can’t just snap out of it or pull themselves together and if people who say crap like that were to visit psychiatric wards and squalid homes of people in that condition and see what serious depression really looks like wouldn’t say that. But we live in a world where mild depression and unnecessary Prozac dependence is the face of what lay people think of when they think of depression. But the truth is it’s on a massive spectrum of severity and untreated there kind of is a point of no return.
If you’ve been through truly severe depression and you’re still here, you’ve got more inner strength than most people will ever know. Just hold onto that and know it. There’s no trivialising the seriousness of going through something like that and not having your life end by some way or other. People can bang on about the apparent horrors of schizophrenia but if you don’t understand depression, you don’t understand mental illness. Period. It is not what the average person thinks. The average person thinks of mild depression and has no idea how fundamentally psychotic it can be in the deeper stages (amongst every-in else). And God knows I can’t stand ignorance when it comes to mental health, especially when it comes from people who are supposed to know better. You don’t have to be personally affected on either side but you do owe it to people at large to try and understand and leave narrow conceptions at the door.
For that reason I’ll never get behind the whole “hey, anyone can get depressed and a bit anxious sometimes x” /“you can do big-man-ting at the gym and still be depressed and struggling with you feelings, bro-dem xx” campaign. Not that it isn’t true but knowing how much more serious it can be I like to just fluff out the run-of-the-mill yada-yada that’s obviously designed to get people with very mild depression to open up, which is fair game as far as it does but as I’m saying it don’t really run that far or educate people about the complexity and heaviness of real clinical depression and all its shades. That’s the problem. You can say you felt a bit low and rubbish because you didn’t have enough money to enjoy yourself on the weekend but you can’t say you had a psychotic, catatonic episode where you were seeing the devil and trying to muster up the energy to hang yourself on the nearest coat peg to spare your kids a life of misery. You don’t believe in depression? Visit an ECT ward.

People thinking “moving-in-silence” seasons means someone’s automatically going through a tough time in their life. Being a bit quiet about where exactly you’re at and how things are going with you beyond being okay isn’t inherently a negative. There’s a season to celebrate openly with everyone, sure, but there’s also a season where you might want take more of a conscious step back for a minute and manoeuvre your zone quietly, but it can be positive. The radar-top can wait. A bit more quietness than usual about your plans and what you’re doing in life doesn’t automatically mean the person’s going through bad times or worried about a lot. Sometimes people do that and people speculate the worst and thing something’s seriously wrong but a lot of those concerns are very over-exaggerated or just totally unnecessary. Moving in silence for a lot of people is literally just that, and it’s not like it’s bound to be forever. You might want to keep quiet about your new job until you’ve been there for a while or are a bit closer to being in the career/job you really want to be in or you might not be ready to have kids if you’re married until the time feels right, and that’s between you and your spouse, not the whole world. That’s okay. People with loose tongues are gonna gossip anyway so you might as well get comfortable and set boundaries while you’re at it. Your personal/professional/relationship business is your business.
You’re not on a path to permanent childlessness (if having kids would be your ball), a career you’re not best-happy with but you might be sort of stuck with for now (even if it’s a good job) or a mental breakdown by keeping silent about certain things until the time seems right. You don’t have to update your LinkedIn profile 99 times a day and judge people who didn’t go to certain Russell-Group unis (as if Loughborough isn’t better than Southampton main) for people to know that you’re earning money. So long as you and the people closest to you know, it doesn’t matter what other people think. They might be biting their words in two years, when your present vision’s clearer to them (not that you even owe them that much). If it makes perfect sense to them in the meantime, it does. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. There’s not your problem. The only person you’ve got to fully answer to is yourself.

The MAOI cheese-hypertension thing that makes doctors hesitant to prescribe them. Phenelzine, selegeline (albeit that one’s more for, like, Parkinson’s annd narcolepsy) and tranyclypromine can be life-saving drugs that should be prescribed more. Docs (especially the young ones with little experience and who don’t know anything but what their specific, narrow training, which might have erroneous information, tells them) need to get their ish together and their knowledge up-to-date. You don’t need to be a Ken Gillman buff-dem ting but it does pay to actually know what you’re talking about and challenge misconceptions. Get to know the proper, hardcore antidepressants while you’re fobbing people off with sertraline and citalopram as well. SSRIs are not real antidepressants, not really. Or very-barely.
Young doctors and pharmacists who are trained in a very narrowly specific way are just taught to believe that MAOIs are bad and dangerous without actually seeing them being used properly and with not even a third as many tyramine diet restrictions as people think. In reality you are okay with vintage Manny aged ale and mac and cheese. If you get high blood pressure at any point, just take a propranolol (or some CBD, even) and lie yourself down for an hour. You not gonna die from cheesy chips, egusi, ogiri, soy sauce or a Big Mac while you’re on phenelzine. Not one of those things.

People thinking your generosity borders on creepy. Some people are as nice as they are because they’re nice. Just because you’d have to have some ulterior motive or something in it for you to ally for your buddy when it might embarrass you (say everyone else is ganging up on or involved in a smear-gaslight against them) or bung them 100 quid if you had it spare and they needed it doesn’t mean everyone’s like that. Everyone has their moments and a dark side but some people are also capable of more genuine good-heartedness than others. Heck, some people are a perfect mix of light and dark and depending on who you are you might get either side and not know which one you’re getting if you have ambivalent feelings about how much they actually like you but people like that are there for the people they’re there for, and you might never find someone like that again for as long as you live. So don’t take people’s kindness for granted, even if they’re horrible to or about people they hate. They’re there for you and so long as no moral boundaries are crossed for no reason either way, that’s all that matters. No strings attached but at least show some appreciation. The jollof rice on the other side might never be as sweet (except your mum’s best that she makes once a year), nor might the extent of support and favours that one person did for you compare to what you got before. And you’ll realise that one day if you take people for granted and don’t respect them. Maybe not today or next year but you will realise it and have regrets. What you had might be gone forever and ever. And you might only have yourself to blame. Especially if you were siding more with shady people at the time because they had a bit more visible cred but ended up doing you dirty behind your back.
Disrespecting your mum when she’s only been good to you (I don’t mean just normal arguments) is also a major red flag. You might think you smart and you might be but she’s had experience you haven’t. If you genuinely have super-toxic parents, that’s different and you do need to let your feelings be known regardless but you don’t swear at your mum to get you the latest PlayStation.

You need a domestic hand, I’ll cook a decent pot of something for you, do your laundry or clean with my essential-oil/borax/white vinegar/bleach concoctions and take out the bins and recycling.

I think it's largely because people are being taught that being an individual is wrong, the only way to be special is to be "apart of a group" so a lot of people are getting desperate to be in any group that they can find, even if it hurts the individuals that are genuinely apart of said group.
To change the topic.
The thing that is annoying me at the moment is Japanese fiction getting really obsessed with Paedophilia.
I was reading a Yuri Hentai Manga a couple of nights ago (Lesbian Porn Comic basically) and I was reading a story where a Nurse was having sex with a High Schooler (I presumed that she was 18) but silly me, the Manga threw in dialogue where the Nurse goes "I wouldn't be touching a minor if I wasn't serious" or something along those lines, and it killed it stone dead for me, and it was a shame as I was 100% in it for the Nurse, but I just can't get around Paedophilia being literally celebrated in the dialogue.
I mean I can handle 99.99% of content in Hentai, but just don't throw Paedophilia out at me, but for some reason Anime, Manga and Hentai do seem to love that circuit a little too much for my taste.

When people lump black and mixed-race people together. With more than 70% Afro/Afro-Caribbean admixture I understand but at 50/50 or less black is black and mixed-race is very-much mixed-race and in its own distinct little category. Everyone has the right to affiliate with what they identify with more, I guess, but doing it automatically with people who you know are half-and-half (sometimes even less than that) harkens back to the one-drop rule (horribly racist). Hate it when people do that.

Me and my Brother both saw arguments breaking out on Twitter earlier to do with the new Suicide Squad Game that's come out.
Well a very famous character gets in a predicament, and let's just say that storyline is really controversial for the Game in general.
Basically someone in their attempt to defend the Game said this "I don't really question the quality of Video Games, I just want the next product after consuming the current product" and unfortunately they weren't joking because they would get defensive when people pulled them up on their take.
Honestly speaking I think that it has to be the most brain dead opinion that I have ever heard to do with any topic full stop, because I honestly don't understand the logic to this guy's opinion on any level.
Now don't get me wrong I understand that not everyone has the same standard as each other, but this guy openly admitting that he has no standards for what he is looking for in Video Games (and people like him) are the reason why we're seeing AAA Video Games and entertainment in general going downhill because they don't question the quality of anything, and they believe that you're being mean to the team that made the product if you give constructive criticism, which is just insane to me how so many people on the Internet are starting to think like that.
Now don't get me wrong I haven't played Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, but if people are giving out constructive feedback then the developers should be welcoming them into their community more than the section of the fans pretending that they loved everything about the Game, all because they don't want to upset the developers.

Again and again, people who fidget too much. Just keep still for a minute. FFS.

Yup. And the thing is there’s enough genuine reason to dislike somebody without having to now give yourself the headache of hating on someone who hasn’t done anything bad to you personally for no reason. More muscles, it takes., to frown than smile. Blah-de-blah.
I just wouldn’t be wasting my energy like that. Not when you barely actually even know the person but just like to passively antagonise people you see as a bit beneath you. Me, I like people who are able to be and stay at least a little bit humble. Because it’s not even sharp moralising that drives a wedge between the person doing the judging and the ‘dislikee’. A lot of the time it’s just pure snootiness. And it’s okay to be a bit of a snob but not when you use it as a catalyst or front to judge people going about their lives who really haven’t done anything to you. Or they’ll (just people) use the one dodgy encounter they had with you years and years ago to keep hating on you even when every other person has very-much moved on. Bringing old news to the table just because you want to hate on someone and need a target or a reason.

Enabling, fly-monkeying. Call it whatever you like and by all means excuse yourself if only one person’s complained or expressed discomfort. Maybe just the once, even. But when so many people keep raising the same concerns but the back of the narcissist/toxic person is continually had (intentionally or indirectly), it’s a mazza. There comes a point where someone has to stand up and say no. Enough is enough, innit.
In certain spaces you do need to have thick skin but at the end of the day you’re not there to be abused unquestioningly or thrown under the bus, wherever it is. There are consequences, whoever you are or aren’t. And a bad person who’s used to getting away with stuff all the time because determining bodies and systems continue to make excuses for them and never have them face even a smidgen of accountability can test and challenge the patience of a saint. So if you do have the power to do something about it, … do something. And it can’t just be a Ken and Deidre do-something situation, either. Don’t be so blinded by and fixated on the book that you can’t see the hill from the trees and defend decent people but do defend the wrong people every single time. You’ve got to learn to deal with people rather than just the generic technicalities of the book that’s not in all of the right people’s favour. Down to and with the grit and in understanding and apt backing.

People in queues talking too much. We know the value of good chit-chat but it can’t be at the expense of someone else’s time. People have places to be and they might almost be running late as it is.
I say that as someone who likes to do that casual chit-chat. But when I do that I’m always looking at the queue at the back so I know I’m probably not wasting people’s time. I can be patient about a lot of things but when it comes to people wasting your time just because they want to talk, I haven’t got it.

I think it's largely because people are being taught that being an individual is wrong, the only way to be special is to be "apart of a group" so a lot of people are getting desperate to be in any group that they can find, even if it hurts the individuals that are genuinely apart of said group.
To change the topic.
The thing that is annoying me at the moment is Japanese fiction getting really obsessed with Paedophilia.
I was reading a Yuri Hentai Manga a couple of nights ago (Lesbian Porn Comic basically) and I was reading a story where a Nurse was having sex with a High Schooler (I presumed that she was 18) but silly me, the Manga threw in dialogue where the Nurse goes "I wouldn't be touching a minor if I wasn't serious" or something along those lines, and it killed it stone dead for me, and it was a shame as I was 100% in it for the Nurse, but I just can't get around Paedophilia being literally celebrated in the dialogue.
I mean I can handle 99.99% of content in Hentai, but just don't throw Paedophilia out at me, but for some reason Anime, Manga and Hentai do seem to love that circuit a little too much for my taste.
Apparently being good in an emergency is a sign of autism now, including every paramedic and ER nurse/doctor (etc.) without fail. I think the lines are blurred between traits of different personality types (from the healthy and well-regulated to the more extreme) and what’s actually divergent from a neurodevelopmental point of view. “Highly sensitive female” is becoming code for a major reason why autism’s under-diagnosed in women and girls, and soon every quirk or just-plain trait under the sun is going to be considered on the spectrum.
Who is it who’s actually diagnosing all these people with autism, you’ve got to wonder?

People getting overly eager with the schedule. If you’re coming to do the window tomorrow but thought you’d get ahead of yourself and turn up today only to hang around for hours and hours, don’t think a text that might not get read until much later is warning enough. You can take your chances but it’s annoying when people don’t respect your time and other commitments. Being overly eager to be super-early is almost worse than being really late with it. And definitely more annoying.
You wait for the other person to okay it before you come knocking. You do not just barge up and disturb the peace just because you’re ahead of schedule and don’t know what else to do with your time.

Is there a psychiatrist in the house?
I ask because someone started irritating me.
I have known a guy who works in Iceland food store for years. When I say know, I mean I was aware of him stacking shelves and basically walking about the store. He's been there for at least 4 years. He's never said a word to me, or to anyone else. Always kept himself to himself.
However, something happened last week. He was on the till (which he's been on the till before and never said a word). But last week he said 'all right mate'. I looked around to see who he was talking to and it was ME. He kept on talking about the weather, food prices. You couldn't shut him up. I couldn't wait to get away.:fist:
Then yesterday I saw him talking to a customer. His mouth was going non stop. Then today he was stacking shelves and he said 'all right, mate' to me again. Talking non stop about the weather, his holidays. I thought WTF.:fist:
What the heck happened? Any mind doctors in? Explain.

Maybe he’s just come out of his shell. Maybe he’s becoming hypomanic and entering a phase (which could be down to quite a few things other than bipolar, including steroids). Maybe his boss threatened him with the sack if he failed to be more friendly and continued seeming aloof. Maybe he’s more talkative than you’ve encountered him being until recently.

Yeah you could be right. He might have been on medication that made him once quiet.

Or maybe he’s on some substance/medication now that’s making him more outgoing, maybe even uncharacteristically so.

Where Gusto’s coming from is the fact that he wasn’t like this at all for the last four years and why or how there’s been a sudden change in his customer-service attitude. It could be a mental health thing, it could just be him loosening himself out of his shell or it could be the fact that management have told him to be more engaging. Or it could be none of those things. We don’t know.
