Observations

There have been a few things that I've noticed this week that I thought I'd just put out there and talk about because they're common things but I don't think people notice they do it that much.

The first of these observations came earlier today whilst driving back from my relatives. If your a fan of Michael McIntyre you may have heard him talk about this before. We were driving along a very long straight road in a queue of about six cars, stuck behind this slow lorry. In order to get out of this situation people were obviously having to wait for the other side of the road to be empty and then over take. On this particular stretch of road however car number five in this queue got really impatient, and in the first opening of free road attempted to over take not only the lorry but the other four cars in front of him too. Up until the point that he realised that the car coming the other way would hit him before he could fully overtake and so would have to pull back into the queue.

Now this for many is probably a thing that happens quite regularly, the observation that I made was how I felt about this situation, more specifically the impatient driver. In that instance I was hoping the drivers up ahead would not allow him back in, in a 'you've made your bed now lay on it' kind of moment. Realising I was thinking this I immediately reassured myself that I didn't wish any ha to come to anyone, but I was still hoping that this person would get some kind of comeuppance for this bold move.

The other observation I made this weekend was in relation to TV programmes, more specifically Strictly come dancing and X-factor, and how opinionated we as a people are even if we don't really have an understanding about what we are voicing our opinions on. I'll add quickly that i'm all for free speech and stuff like that, but there's a difference between voicing your opinion for the sake of it and actually adding something to an argument.

There are members of my family that do seem to know what they're are talking about when it comes to the techniques of dancing/singing, etc....but there are also others who just judge the performances on how they look, rather than on that persons talent.

I don't have a real reason for wanted to bring these two observations up, they just show off some unusual and sometimes unnoticed traits that people have, and because I know these are pretty come traits throughout the country. The second one I know first hand happens in most homes on a Saturday evening, and for a comedian such as Michael McIntyre to make a joke about the first observation it has to be pretty relatable.

Just a quick view here into how my mind works and the kind of things I think about.
