This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

What stuff do you think is common?

Tastless AND common . . .
I had a similar experience on a plane to Greece 4 years ago - little girl with stomach cramps and vomiting (Mum and Dad had been on a holiday in Bangkok with her, and probably had some dodgy food). Anyhoo - we took her to the flight attendants' area so I could do the needful (feel tummy, etc) - all the while there were rubbernecks all watching the action (though not with food I believe) until we disappeared out of sight.

I wonder how they would feel if it one of their lover ones on the floor being resuscitated?

I think it's a perfectly normal reaction
your sitting on a plane, all facing one way and something is happening in front of you, your eyes are going to be drawn to it. As long as they aren't actually jeering and shouting "come on death! you can take that fat fucker!" then it's quite understandable.

I agree....
weve all slowed down to gawp at an accident on the motorway.

Its curiosity of human nature.

the reason
that people slow down at accident scenes is SAFETY . think about it police the fire brigade and ambos are all trying to work . That and half the road is usually blocked slows things down . Im sure the police would love you to drive past at 30mph just inches away from them.

It pisses me off every time people are accused of rubbernecking just because the show a little consideration for slowing down

That annoys me so much!
I hate it when people do that, and it adds time onto my journey too!

And as for the fuckers who decide to gawp as well!
