Isn\u2019t getting home; realising you\u2019ve had a human sized bogie hanging out the worst feeling? You hate it yourself but when people begin to shout ‘TRAMP’, ‘TRAMP’ then you become self-conscious. Fate lets this happen on important occasions e.g. business meetings, starting a new school, dating. Perhaps the saying \u2018Some people can\u2019t see past the end of their nose\u2019 is true as by judging others on appearance they overlook the common logic that people can\u2019t see the end of their nose without a mirror. \u2018Rather than bogies being for little ones to have a little munch on when they’re peckish they hold germs and dust to keep your lungs safe\/clean. Why do people assume that a bogie makes someone scruffy and unclean? please clean your brain before you judge appearances as it highlights your lack of common knowledge not knowing were all human.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m working class. Thick. I have no Education. I\u2019m not as good as you. For some the idea of job seeking is overwhelming. Isn’t this expected when some require qualifications for something as simple as stacking shelves. GCSE\u2019s aren’t necessary to realise oldest yoghurts go in front so customers don’t purchase out of date products. Why don’t employees assess common sense over common knowledge? Perhaps then interviews wouldn’t seem such torture; interview anxiety may become extinct<\/p>\n

Have you ever tried to interact with somebody but when you move your mouth sound doesn\u2019t come out? Have your ever stood next to someone not knowing how to position yourself and where to put your eyeline because, you simply feel on edge and awkward? This is social anxiety, but we think these people should just simply speak and that they\u2019re boring\/unsociable. If this wasn\u2019t a problem the NHS wouldn\u2019t recommend seeing a GP when symptoms such as avoiding\/ worrying about social situations, fearing criticism and panic attacks occur. \u2018\u2019Morning\u2019\u2019 she said to the dog walker. \u2018\u2019Can\u2019t wait to see you again\u2019\u2019 he said to his friend. Friendly interactions can have a colossal impact on somebodies\u2019 day and from experience I know it makes you a little more at ease and comfortable in social situations. Equally for some greeting people, chatting to neighbours, seeing a friendly face gives them a reason to keep on going. once they feel comfortable with you something as natural as how to stand won\u2019t even seize their thoughts Never judge, never avoid. Remember nobody is ever just \u2018A shy person\u2019.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you didn\u2019t realise both men and women have nipples positioned on the centre point of the breast and in women this links to the milk production glands known as the mammary glands. However British Boobies are to be blindfolded and not on display not even to feed your own child but if any male feels a little bit sweaty do feel free to take your top off. Not only do they both have nipples, they\u2019re adopting the shared view that breastfeeding is inappropriate in public; It\u2019s disrespectful, offensive and as a sexual object shouldn\u2019t exposed around prying eyes. Being realistic I\u2019m sure Adam didn\u2019t ask Eve to Dig a hole to feed her babies. What could be more appropriate than feeding an infant? who\u2019s need is greater? an innocent child whose main necessity is to grow and develop or the woman glaring at you breastfeed whilst gorging and devouring a scrumptious cream cake which scientifically isn\u2019t bringing her more alive it\u2019s bringing her closer to death. If this is inappropriate is it then appropriate for a 30yr old man to publicly wee when he\u2019s been toilet trained from a young age? Compared with new-borns who don\u2019t know how to talk let alone feed themselves. it\u2019s sad to say some still see women as just a sexual object but equally, males can be judged on their physique; sometimes people see the male chest in a sexual light. Like The spice girls\u2019 tribute: the spice boys enter the stage and the audience cheer wildly like school girls judging whose ‘fitter’ by their chests. How is this different to women exposing their chests; but in this instance for a practical use? Which leaves me with one definitive question\u2026 Are we a nation of prudes or pragmatists?<\/p>\n
