I’d like to learn what people in their field think of when they see something good or bad when they’re not working.

I’m a health inspector, so when I am sitting at a table as a customer, I’ll watch people while I’m eating (not purposely staring, but having a look around the place). I recently saw someone swipe their finger under their nose then go to the self serve station to touch about 8 different handles before walking away. Thankfully, I was already done eating.

When I have to walk through the kitchen to the toilets, I take mental notes without meaning to.

As a ex-first responder, unconsciously doing an assessment of someone I’m speaking to (or not) and internally noting how nice and juicy their veins are.

What are some things you come across in your daily life and what do they have you thinking about?

    Thank you for sharing! I’m going to add that right now to Firefox. Why can’t we just have websites without the ads and flashy stuff. If I want to look up a recipe, I don’t want to take out another insurance policy or download “the most popular game”.

      While you are at it I also highly recommend UBlock Origin. Probably like the best ad Blocker out there.

      One thing I should also maybe add about disabling JavaScript: Some websites “need” JS to have even the most basic functionality. So if a website does not work the way it should he, you should try to (maybe even just temporarily) enable JS for that specific site.

        Oh, that I have! I’ve also got RemovePaywalls.com. Doesn’t always work, so I just search “pay wall remover” and copy and paste the URL in to that.

        Thank you so much! I’ll give that a shot. I might come back to this comment thread in the future if I have more questions. 😅 😊
