Normal things that seem strange to you

    Mens urinals - I can't for the life of me use those things. There's something about standing next to a man while holding me lad that doesn't feel right.

    Handkerchief - I don't want a snot rag in my pocket all day.

    Jeans - The most uncomfortable item of clothing I've ever worn. I can't walk in the fecking things, and I'm not talking about the skinny jeans either. I can only imagine what they're like.

    What normal things do you think are strange?

    Liking sports, watching analysis of a match after its played and then dissecting it for days.
    The Gaa in general I do not understand or like. Why would players go to all the effort when they don't even get paid.

    Driving. Particularly at "highway" speeds. If you know a bit of physics, you know that the kinetic energy of a moving object is proportional to the square of the speed e.g. double the speed, quadruple the energy - and when it goes wrong, all that energy goes somewhere. Car manufacturers know this, and have spent untold billions creating cars that absorb the energy of a collision, rather than transferring the energy to the occupants of the car. It's not always successful. :eek:

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    Obsession with fashion and celebrity culture. It's everywhere but leaves me cold.

    High heeled shoes.

    I find both of these things bizarre. Yes, I am a woman.

    I've just gotten the closest thing I've ever had to a 9-5 job and I can't get used to it at all. 15 years of shift work has destroyed me.

    I did shift work for 10 years and I swear it took me the main part of 6mths to get used to doing 9-5 again after it. I hate routine anyway but I missed the time I had to myself and I hated the normality of the whole 9-5 thing. There's something very liberating about being awake in the middle of the night working whenever most people are sleeping.

    Hmm, would you say the same about action movies? Are you specifically telling me to go out and sort out the criminals and the scum of our streets? Cos I'll do it man, I'll do it.

    I know!

    Coming home from night duty on a dirty rotten rainy day and climbing into bed while everyone else is heading to work, or even just the anticipation of doing a few night shifts to escape the relentless chaos and demands of working during the day.

    I used to see some really odd things coming home at night when I was doing shift work. Snowmen in the middle of the road, armed guards, green lights in the sky. It's quite possible I was hallucinating from lack of sleep.

    They do, easier to clean and you can fit flyscreens to them. Ever tried that with an outward opening window? Also less risk of window getting damaged when windy.

    Also less risk of someone falling out of the window when opening it.

    So there :p

    Reaching under your crotch with bog roll to wipe your hole while remaining seated during poo poo time.

    Am I the only one who stands up to wipe and checks to make sure theres no brown left ?

    Shaving - I did it for a couple of years but it seemed like a lot of effort to look like a prepubescent boy so I stopped.
