S01 E08 why are humans like this?

from The world through my eyes · host Matt Fairhurst

In this episode I’m back doing what I do best — lovingly moaning about everyday human behaviour that makes absolutely no sense. From the fake hurry-up jog when a car lets you cross, to plane passengers who spring up the second the seatbelt sign goes off, to kids having absolutely no middle setting — it’s either silent angel or full-volume chaos — I’m picking apart the little moments that prove life is basically a social experiment.I also drop this week’s Weekly Whinge about the absolute madness of people who load their shopping onto the conveyor belt… then wander off to grab five more things while the queue stares them down.It’s sarcastic, honest, very me — and painfully relatable. If you’ve ever thought “what are people actually doing?” — you’ll feel right at home here.
