Sometimes you see some stupidity, and tut, sometimes you do some yourself and hope nobody saw.

But, sometimes you see stuff and wonder how they are allowed out unattended.

My example is seeing a bloke today try to push a shopping trolley up an escalator at Ikea, it made a lot of noise and went nowhere, bloke looked stupid to all around, no sympathy as anyone who thinks that is a valid course of action shouldn't be out on their own. Normally I will not say anything or compound someone's embarrassment (There but for the grace of god go I) but it was so cretinous I used the phrase in the thread title, he heard it and due to the linear nature of Ikea managed to throw me a hate filled glance at every turn.

Your examples ?

At least 40 quid isn't really a lot as these current prices though! hehe

Both my Dad and Uncle have done that in the past too. I imagine it to be bloody frustrating/annoying for sure.

Anywhere, especially in their own car, or anywhere outside.

I saw someone walking their dog through a field margin to some woodland near me the other day which is at least three miles from the nearest village, wearing one of them plastic visors.

Haven’t seen one of those welding visors for a week or two. Good to know someone is keeping up appearances. I hope it had FACE MASK written across the front in case anyone mistook it for something else.

Don’t the escalators take them there. I’m sure they do at Ashton one.

I think we are all abit guilty at times to be fair

Especially those who wear them over their mouths and not their nose. I sort of see why people did it when it was compulsory, but we haven't had to wear them for months and very few care either way - either wear it properly or don't bother.

My wife has the Corony and I was dispatched to the shop to get some stuff. I'd rather not pass it on to folk if I was a carrier but not testing positive yet. I wore a mask to protect others more than anything else.

Some people might have operations or holidays or unseen health issues.

I once did that (well about 10l) put another 40 litres of diesel in and it was fine, I did feel a prize plum though and flapped a bit.
