    Some context for the 2000s TV shows: basically, between about 2003 and 2010, there was a huge trend on British daytime TV and documentaries to cover what were seen as 'social ills' - i.e. obesity, benefit cheats (I think it's called welfare payments in America), people with drug or alcohol problems, or mums who have unusual living arrangements with their kids. It was sort of like a big country-wide addiction to binge-watching other peoples' misfortunes or failings. The trend died down after several prominent commentators in the early 2010s started calling it out as stigmatising the most vulnerable people in society.

      @@cjsvids8760 That's not strictly speaking true. There are actually a number of reasons that people may still wish to wear a mask, I don't myself, but I can understand why some do. Firstly if you are ill... not just with covid, but with just a cold, you may want to wear a mask still to prevent the spread. If you have a poor immune system, wearing a mask is valid.
      But again... is it hurting you, is it hurting anyone else? NO! So don't worry about it, it is about as silly as people in a fuss over women wearing trousers rather than skirts in an office.

Why do people care if I'm wearing a mask? I haven't told anyone else to put one on. I'm protecting my dad, in a sense, I'm protecting me, I'm doing what is asked. Wtf?

    The 'every show from the 2000's ' is aping a style of documentary that became very popular at that time. They served not to educate us on a topic, but to give us opportunity to point and scoff (or demonise)at people worse off than us, or with something 'weird' about them for us to gawp at. Not a trend to be proud of. There are fewer of them around now, thankfully. I remember the comedian Russell Howard satirising them by 'announcing' a new documentary - 'The boy with a shed for a head'. This really summed up our then current fascination with the 'weird'.
    I realise watching these compilations of TikToks (I've seen a few) that I am officially too old.....
    One or two of these were funny, but most of them - nah!

    I think petrol stations have evolved from back in the day, when it just offered petrol, and you paid at the counter and drove off. Nowadays, petrol stations are called forecourt’s, and have amenities just like supermarkets, like Tescos. But depending on the size of the forecourt they will have a large selection of food types, including, groceries, alongside vehicle supplies. And I’ve seen in my area a forecourt station inside a Tesco car park which has pumps you can pay at the pumps, or inside the forecourt shop. The downside to paying at the pump, you’re at risk of being robbed by an opportunist passing by, especially, when it’s late at night, and there’s no other people around. With everything in life, there’s upsides and downsides to things. 🤔

    The masks don't really work, other than as a rather timid filter. I used to be a woodworker many years ago and I had to wear one of those every day. At the end of each day, there was a fair build-up of wood dust... inside the mask!
    Oh, and trust me, Joel - we're not all as loud and crude as these people in the video. Some people... Can't take 'em anywhere.

    Well, either my sense of humour has died the death OR these were seriously unfunny... I can't decide which - cos I didn't laugh at anything.

    Anyone still wearing a mask is insane enough, but wearing one in the car alone is complete insanity.

      Yes we in the Uk can pay at the pump, but in the US you have to fully prepay in advance before the fuel will be dispensed, so even if you’re paying cash you have to pay in the kiosk and then the pump is cut off after the value you’ve paid for.
