        I think universally to everyone I've told this to, is that in 9th grade(?) a teacher told me it was important to alternate what side of the mouth you start brushing your teeth on. (e.g. start on the right side, then left side next time, then right side.) Apparently, she was told this by her dentist as she developed some sort of issue from “hard brushing” her gums or something, but everyone I've ever mentioned this inescapable habit of mine too including a physician and my parents thought it was pretty crazy/odd.

          Great thread! Well, I'll share for the record what I mentioned in the chat session yesterday.

          I was walking around Williamsburg, Brooklyn last year – it's a very 'hipster' area. I heard two hipsters talking to each other, commenting on the beautiful weather. One of them said, 'Yeah, you can totally smell the humanity'.

          In my opinion, just because you can talk words, it doesn't mean you should!

            I'm still waiting for an opportunity to use that line! I need to get to a West London coffee shop…

            I know this thread was for things we'd overheard, but my tale is a little different.

            Couple of years ago while home alone, I jumped in the shower and set about murdering the tune that had been going around my head pretty much since I'd woken up. It's an understatement to say I'm no singer (I mime 'Happy Birthday' at parties) but I was in a good mood and there's only so many times you can hear a song chorus before you crack.

            Anyhoo, finished up, got dressed and headed into the kitchen where I unexpectedly found my Landlord working on the sink 😮 At first, I turned bright red but then we got chatting and after having a cup of tea together, I felt pretty confident that I hadn't made a total fool of myself after all.

            As he got up to leave, he asked “So, Metallica fan?”. I answered yes. “Cool!” he said. “Don't think you'll have them quaking in their boots though…”

                  Ok Kik …this time I'm hanging about the chat session longer to hear you,,, tune 🙂

                  This happened to me with what was then my 3 year old niece….

                  We were in a public female bathroom, I turned for a second when I heard my niece Yell “auntly, this one is not finished yet she is doing a big pooo.”

                  My niece had stuck her head under the lady's cubicle… well I grabbed her by the feet ,,pulled her out of there and bolted>>>>> oh yeah I did disinfect her soon after.

                    Please leave Pandora's Box closed – you do not know what you ask! 😀

                    Going up the recently refurbished escalator at Warren Street tube station, the young suit in front of me was having a rant to his mate. Paraphrasing, he said: “In WWII, British engineers could build an entire Wellington bomber from scratch in 30 hours. How can it have taken 8 weeks to fix a single escalator! The Germans should've waited till now to invade, we'd have no chance!”

                    History in motion…sort of.

                      Brilliant! I think that guy had been watching the BBC as I saw an article about the story recently too. Pretty impressive stuff – and maybe he had a point!!
