Did you not ask why he was doing it?

I think I'd have to tbh, find some excuse to go out, say hi,
"What the actual fuck are you doing?"

Chottie I'm in E Yorks. It really is the oddest thing, I always thought it was the house they wear doing (for a good hour everyday) until speaking to them a couple of months back. Only time he doesn't do it is when it's raining or snowing!

I used to daydream about hoovering pavements when I was little. I just could not understand how people could let them be so dirty Hmm

As a adult, I don't fancy ruining my Hoover on a it of pavement that will be covered in dirt almost immediately
