View Full Version : What do you do that used to be normal but is now frowned upon......
Come on fess up! Our lives have all been 'challenged' with all the PC stuff and Health & Safety stuff, government regulations etc which have made us into the Nanny State.
So what do you do that you know would be frowned upon ......
I eat what I fancy, not what's supposed to be "good for me"
I use weedkiller to get rid of weeds that don't respond to simple weeding
We still have a 4x4
On occasion I exceed the recommended weekly alcohol allowance :lol:
I sometimes speed on motorways
I am pro hunting
I leave the tap on when cleaning my teeth
My kids do not have an in car DVD system, they will have to play I Spy instead
I like to get a suntan
Oh and last but not least, but probably the worst in most people's eyes ........
I still smoke!!! :exit:

I still smoke.
I ignore the speed limits unless there is a lot of traffic or a copper is around.
The only thing I recycle is old clothes into shop towels for the garage.
On the flip side, I have a LOT of tattoes. They used to be frowned on, now every guy and his mum have them too :p
I do so many non pc things it's best I just say I ignore all the rules and am the most obnoxcious cantankerous old git I know ;)

Except - we don't have a 4x4 at the mo but are considering an X3 - does that count.
And I no longer smoke - but the missus does.

Erm No.... You need a proper 4x4 !!!
Right,
I tell jokes that may be offensive to tree huggers, and the new PC police.
I also own and enjoy driving a motoring disaster (Discovery) and am currently looking to replace or nearly not PC Volvo Estate with a Pickup.....
I laugh in the face of vegetables (unless they form part of my takeaway)
Re-cycling in my world is riding your bikeback the way you went.
Sunbathing is relaxing, not evil
Eggs are great as long as they're fried.
I buy chickens from supermarket's value shelves.
I smoke
I drink
I speed
etc. etc.
And something no-one's fessed up to yet....
I smack my kids when they're really naughty and reasoning with them fails.

Oh dear my list is very small.
I occassionally speed on the motorway.
I still prefer a bath over a shower, preferably with lots of bubbles.
I really hate those job applications which say that applicants from an ethinic background are particularly welcome. If that isn't descrimination then I don't know what is. I voiced this view at an ethinic awareness training day at work which I don't think won me many brownie points.

Oh, I want to dive in here if I may!
- I pee while standing ... may not be a big deal for many, for a long time I wasn't able to do this.
- I am in full support of capital punishment
- I believe in a good military school for teaching kids (especially today's youth) a bit about being humble & respect (am planning to send my daughter to one, not that she needs it though)
- I hate to use emails / chat etc. and froun on this vs. the use of "snail" mail
- I speed, always, and talk my way out of the situation when caught
- I drive (used to) a few gas-guzzling cars / SUV (Cadillac SRX V8 V-tech)
I could list a few others, but I guess these are the worst of the lot!
I still open doors for Ladies :)
I did this just yesterday and the cheeky cow just give me a dirty look, makes me wonder what she would have done if i had let it go in her face :shrug:

Given you the same look, only a little squashed. :D
I still say what I think, regardless. Well after the 2nd cup of coffee, before that there is no thought going on to speak of. :D
I do still open doors for everyone...Ladies I will let through before me, Men I go through and hold open for em to grab it after me.
And if they don't thank me I still say "You're welcome!" (Louder if they haven't said thankyou)

Heh heh! I do exactly the same.

I wonder who started the idea that every time there's a door, a bloke gets to look at some woman's arse?
I guess it's just another good example of how manners always pay. :thumbs:
I shout "YOU'RE WELCOME" after Ive let someone into a queue of traffic if they haven't acknowledged me :D:D

Wow - I have found my complete opposite! Should I be happy or sad?
only one close is speeding, and I only really do that on the motorway/large A roads.

I used to hold doors open for people but i hate it when they see you doing it and slow down. So i just let it go as soon as they get there, Two way door must hurt :D

One of the things I'm very well known for, is my love for sugar and lemon ... seems that this lemon is not in tune with what yours!
I'd say, be happy ... most of these are taken with a HUGE grain of salt. I usually don't speed, and I often pee in the shower :p

I tell very bigoted jokes, even though I'm not actually bigoted in my actions or outlook.
I tend to open doors for ladies, and generally treat them nicely, because we're *equals* not equal.
I tend not to give up my seat on public transport though, I am disabled (compressed spine), but because I'm tall and young people expect me to anyway.
Erm No.... You need a proper 4x4 !!!
I'm currently looking at buying a Mercedes ML430 does that count :D
I'm not going to worry about my Co2 emissions when China is building a coal fired power station a week
perhaps China said it's not going to worry about power stations if your going to drive an ML430. ;)

No, only Land Rovers, G-Wagons, Jeep Wranglers, and UniMogs count as real 4*4's
The Merc will only count as an "anti-green pussy wagon" http://livinonaprayer.superforos.com/images/smiles/nana.gif

No, to count as a real 4x4 the factory workshop manual has to list ignition timing figures for 5*, 4*, 2* and Parafin. Anything else is clearly designed for use only in the civilised world, therefore nothing more than a posing pouch ;)
That thins even your list down quite a lot.
The thing that I do....
Believe that the British Empire was the best thing to happen on this planet since the Roman Empire.

Apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... ;)
And Carbon footprint? Save the Whales? Greenpeace? ESPECIALLY Carbon footprint!! All a bunch of tree-hugging hippy crap as far as I'm concerned. The inane way politicians attach themselves to the latest eco-buzzword is simply pathetic.
Me? Well, I'd take the warning signs off of everything, and let nature take its course - survival of the smartest and fittest etc etc...
