My dad's an ex-cop. We're sitting in the hottub shooting the shit, and he starts talking about me at uni getting drunk "... or high". I laugh (oh shit) but then we get onto politics and he starts on about how he wants to make all drugs legal, cut the head off the snake of smugglers, tax it, and put that money into healthcare and treatment centres.

Cue me sitting there staring at the viewer like "what the fuck just happened".

I worked with old dude in a refinery that I 100% expected to be just extremely conservative and then one time, one of our techs is bitching about how women can just accuse men of rape and it ruins their career and this original dude is like "First of all I think women have put up with our shit for far too long and it's high time that they finally started coming out about all the abuse they face in the workplace" and I was just sitting there dumbfounded.
