Things I shouldn't have seen...
Working in the motor trade you see some sights!
One of which was a Vauxhall Corsa owned by a very attractive young blonde lady and in need of a new 1/4 panel and I was given the job of stripping the car down and carrying out the repair. I opened the boot to start stripping the interior out and I was greeted by lots of skimpy underwear some of which was heavily soiled from what I can only imagine was from an infestation of snails.

In an office I worked in the past I overheard a meeting taking place in the boardroom next door regarding the fate of a sales colleague who had been down on his luck. For the purpose of this post I'll call him Dave. Dave is well known in our particular industry but was getting in years. In the past he had been the UK wide representative for a well known and prestigious manufacturers having sold 10's of millions of £'s worth of this particular manufacturers kit every year for the previous 25 Years plus. If there was a customer he didn't know on a personal level then they weren't worth knowing.
Its was monthly management meeting time and they had been going for an hour or so at a volume I couldn't hear then the Chairman loudly asks 'So, what are we going to do with Dave? His figures are down and have been down for a few months.'
One by one each director and manager (Most of whom claimed to be good friends with Dave and claimed to have the upmost respect for him due to his past successes) said get rid of him, sack him and so on.
I was good friends with Dave having worked with him in the past and it was due a recommendation from him that I got the job but I couldn't bring myself to give him the heads up about his impending dismissal. I was torn between telling him and being the good friend and keeping shtum in fear of risking my position. I do regret not giving Dave the nod and giving him the chance to secure another position and I wish I'd never overheard the conversation.
Fortunately Dave kept his position for another 6 months until an absolute weasel of a fellow sales person stuck one too many knives in Dave's back and got him sacked. Weasel sales person wanted Daves position and his company car. Weasel went on to get himself sacked a few weeks later because he was s

t. Creosoting the front garden fence about 10 years ago , when a neighbour pulled up on his drive and was getting his car emptied whilst talking on his hands free with the speakers turned up.
How she was going to dress and what she was going to do with him that night left nothing to the imagination, which I just listened to while keeping on creosoting the fence.
When I finished, I turned around to see him looking sheepish as he realised what I’d heard.
Funnily enough it wasn’t his wife speaking to him ....

A thing I shouldn't have seen......
Called round to my mates house where another friend was already there. His mum said they are just upstairs so up I went. His bedroom door was locked which was very strange. Tapped on the door and all was Well, both of them sat there having a beer.
Cue 5 mins later when they couldn't keep it to themselves and pressed play on the vhs. I was greeted to my mates large schlong appering from the side lines on a home movie with his then wife to be.!!!! Always remember the scene, bird bent over him bashing away shouting " are your tits swinging" hahaha

3 things spring to mind, none of them good:
1. mum and dad screaming hateful things at each other when I was 3 or 4 years old. They split before I was 5.
2. dad shagging his then fit, massively chesticled girlfriend. I was 6.(42 years later, my now step-mum, is fat, toothless and has hair like Wendolene Ramsbottom)
3. company restructure underway, because they want more for the shareholders and investments, and we're already very profitable.
loads of jobs being cut.
I know who's not going to survive, and I wish I didn't as they'll be gone the week before Christmas.

As a teenager, I was on holiday sat on the balcony of a fancy apartment down south somewhere with my mum and her partner.
Through the open balcony doors from floor below we all hear a very posh sounding woman exclaim:
“No, I will not stick my finger in your bottom!”
“You created that monster, now take it to the garage!”
Fit of giggles and awkwardness of the company present ensued..
On the Bristol night bus, two girls on the row behind:
G1: “I wish I could find a decent bloke and settle down.”
G2, sympathetically: “well you just need to stop being such a slag then”
G1: “I know, it’s just so hard”

O/H was on the train to work a few weeks back when she overheard a conversation from nearby seats on the lines of , "There's a new woman on the fourth floor carrying out a restructure and upsetting everyone, they call her 'The Rottweiler".
O/H follows the couple off the train as the conversation continues. They get held up for a moment and she passes with a brief, "Excuse me."
Later that day there's an inter-floor meeting and who should be representing their floor but the two overheard on the train. O/H introduces herself; "I'm the Rottweiler from Floor Four..."

One day whilst showing me his latest shag, he decided to hand me his phone so I could scroll through the pictures; I either scrolled too far or the wrong way and the next picture was of him, stark bk naked with a raging hard on
he quickly snatched his phone back off me and it has never been mentioned between the two of us, however I have told a few people.
I did that with a friends camera - we were hiking and I hit right instead of left in reviewing the last shot, to be greeted by a series of images of his wife naked in the bath, in various poses. k naked with a raging hard onhe quickly snatched his phone back off me and it has never been mentioned between the two of us, however I have told a few people.Overhearing my Mum and Dad discussing the fact my cousin was adopted.
My cousin passed away in his 40's. I don't believe he was ever told by my Aunt and Uncle that he was adopted, I'm not sure if that was OK for them to keep quiet and deny him the opportunity to meet his genetic parents.
I saw his children at their Grandmothers (his mother, my aunt) funeral but it somehow didn't seem right to tell them that Grandmother wasn't really Grandma and we actually had no idea who might be.

It's a tough moral call and one only for the adopting parents in my view. My cousin passed away in his 40's. I don't believe he was ever told by my Aunt and Uncle that he was adopted, I'm not sure if that was OK for them to keep quiet and deny him the opportunity to meet his genetic parents.

One view is that he grew up having loving parents who treated him as their own (possibly after years of trying for their own child)
I'm not sure anyone else has the right to tell him or his extended family.

If you don't broach it from the off it must be incredibly hard, harder every year, to drop such a bombshell.

The hardest thing is making sure that it doesn't come from somebody else in a wrong way!!
