The best bit about this thread is the fact that dear old Google Ads has picked up what must be the most important point within it and is offering me a selection of washing machines at the foot of the page.

As for you mentioning about underlying problem - if you're talking about me, I probably wouldn't have made this thread had it not been a problem that affects me, and I probably would have written it better, that's true. But I am trying to make a genuine point about stereotypes and what people consider 'weird' and 'normal'.

Personally I think it's a major flaw within normal life that people are laughed at, stereotyped, whatever, for having odd traits or hobbies. As long as people aren't doing harm and they have a social life with people, what's the big deal? The other point I was trying to make was that there seems to be a fine line between having unusual hobbies and interests, and having mental difficulties. I was wondering where that line, if there is one really is.

Anyway, apologies for cocking this thread up a bit. Admins can close it if they wish. Renamed the thread anyway so it makes a bit more sense.
The underlying issue comment was regarding the poster of the comments on YouTube. They are written in a very consistent way which indicates to me an obsessive compulsive type but it could just be somebody bored In their bedroom.

Well I've done a grand job of fucking this thread up haven't I! But yes, assume the person with the Youtube comments is some sort of obsessive compulsive or some sort of mentally challenged, it's total nonsense.

As for Google Ads, I get over-65s travel insurance. Would have preferred Tesco jobs to be honest considering I'm a good while off 65 and in need of a part-time job!

Ah, but your example will probably be on this page (2), Jake.

That tends to happen the moment a post from me starts a new page!
