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?
I’m a crane technician and love diagnosing peoples cars by the horrible sounds they make when they drive past me
I hope I haven’t driven by you 😂 My dad is a car and heavy machinery mechanic, so I can definitely hear when something is a little off, but as for diagnosing, no chance!
I used to get into my friends car and tell him something sounds wrong and he should look into it.
A month or two later it would fail and it happened so often he asked me to stop pointing things out cause I’m cursing him when I mention it haha
You’re not cursing anything or anyone - tell him you’re from the future! 😂
That’s the go haha, shame I didn’t think of that 10 years ago.
Now days we both have reliable vehicles so it’s less chance things are failing on a monthly basis.
He did buy a new car last year and said I’m not allowed to mention anything, then politely asked if I do please let him know though haha
