Really weird stuff people do that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

[PrimitivePerson]

Someone I know puts hotel TV remotes in plastic bags before using them, because she once heard a standup comedian talking about men wanking on them while watching porn.

WTAF?

What weird things do people you know do that make absolutely no sense at all? Anything as odd as that?

No. Shame is seen as very old fashioned these days.

The young girl next to me at Tesco last week was putting a Lovehoney Rabbit vibrator, lube, condoms and a 10 pack of Peroni through the self service checkout last week, needed an ID check, the male assistant who came over discreetly said, let me get you a bag for this, love and she said "oh no. I don't need a bag. I can carry it all!" and proceeded to balance the Rabbit, Lube and Durex on top of the Peroni and walked out in full view of everyone, not a care in the world.

Sex positivity. Maybe not a bad thing? I felt deeply ashamed in my 30s buying pregnancy tests for very much planned, wanted babies!

Pardon my ignorance but whats the Asian reference? I know Gypsies cover loads of things in plastic but hadnt hear of it elsewhere. Is it just for cleanliness?

But you can wash your hands though.

Asian as in Chinese rather than Indian? All the people I know from Hong Kong do that with the remotes! Why?

@cunoyerjudowel

Attending diet clubs run by overweight people - to be weighed in public and advised by someone clearly not following the instructions.

Where are these clubs ?

Bless you for having such an innocent mind.

There’s porn channels on free view.

We do that. It’s because our then toddler kept turning the rings on. I presume many people with arsehole cats need to do similar.

I went to one briefly because so many people recommended it. I really really struggled to hear how “this works so well” from someone who was about 3 stone heavier than I was (and I was heavy) and had been “following the plan” for 15 years.

I don't really watch TV in hotels so don't use the remotes. How many of you posting on here wipe your laptops and phones regularly ;)

The weirdest behaviour I've seen recently is a couple who come and park along my road and get out and sunbathe on the grass verge. Topless.

There's a small park about 2 minutes away (just an area of greenery next to a car park, so not overrun with kids or dogs playing).

On the car park thing, a couple of times I've moved my car if someone parks next to me in a completely/largely empty car park. I've also moved seats on a train when someone came to sit next to me in a half empty carriage which was only going to get emptier. In the latter case I think the guy was making a point because I had my bag on the seat next to me, but there were loads of empty two-seaters, so I just moved to a different one.

Ha! Yes, that’s infuriating 😬

Me too, didn't think there was anything odd about it.

So you break eggs, whisk with milk and then sieve it?

Also why do the fires only happen at night and not when the oven is unattended all day while you are out at work?

I used to turn my oven off at the wall. I now don't, largely because I do use the clock and don't want to reset it every day. However, I do keep the microwave unplugged as we don't use it very often.

I had hoped we’d moved on from regarding sex as something to be ashamed of 🙄

I feel like I am just going to get loads of good ideas from this thread 🤣

Pakistani, it keeps them clean, it also prevents any numbers/markings from rubbing off.

There's no clock on either my oven or microwave.

Sounds very much like my mum 😂

I kept a bottle of ready diluted squash when my kids were young. Seemed perfectly sensible to me.

My next door neighbour pegs her washing out a couple of items at a time, walks back down the garden, goes back in collects more, pegs that out, goes bk in gets 2 more items over and over ( no disabilities ect ), same with getting it in. Better than the other side whose washing has been hanging out for almost a month.

Vote for Trump

Who's putting milk in scrambled eggs ??

I do this with squash. Totally sensible.

😆

I do it too but I put the bottle in the fridge because I like it ice cold
