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?

    Well, shaking hands may also come from alcohol (not sure how much that is the case with other drugs too) withdrawl, but idk if those two are different (in the “type of shaking” they exert)

      I didn’t have any idea. These things are just usually the first thing that comes to mind, and then it goes away and I forget about it forever, especially when driving. I just hope she made it to where she needed to go.
