Dave Gorman's Modern Life is Goodish - Series 3, Episode 2 | Full Episode

[@Sir99percent]

I absolutely LOVE the way that lady corrected her feet positioning because it actually makes perfect sense - in a way: She (probably) notices an odd behaviour pattern and doesn't mimick it. Then she finds that the cashpoint isn't working, but must've been only moments before, as two people used it without showing signs of complaint. Therefore she thinks she isn't using it correctly and compares her own interaction to that of her two successors and instantantly adapts to the provided "Interface", even if it doesn't make any sense when applying cold logic. In fact, this is a perfect example, why we need Human-Machine-Interaction specialists in a developement lifecycle.

[@ecopippa7496]

Hope you carry on adding the full episodes, Dave Gorman. We are enjoying watching them all so much. Thanks.

In the supermarket, my rule is always to just pick a line and stick with it because in the end no matter how much you switch/plan/observe, you always end up in the slowest one.

Will we be getting the full episodes of Series 1? Love the show - one of my most favourite comedy shows.

[@stuart2673]

Is it because Dave Gorman is behind this that the TV ad break announcements are perfectly aligned with the KZbin ads? What class.

[@ColinGLogan]

Even better than the barbershop queuing Dave describes is when it all happens without anyone saying a word. The barber turns round, the next person stands up and walks to the chair, no talking neccesary.

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

Ah, the Hemmingway of getting your hair cut. In silence.

[@ElectriKong-]

Plot twist: Dave Gorman suddenly announces the return of MLIG and creates a found poem out of our comments on these videos.

[@HughRaine]

I wound up being in one of Adam Buxton's "idiots in the comments" bits. I got two messages saying "You're on the Adam Buxton podcast!" Turned out I said something about a Scroobius Pip song that I don't even remember saying! I stand by what I said though. Phoenix is spelled o before e.

[@HughRaine]

@Unknown User Great chat. We must do it again some time.

[@JonnyMack33]

As former Bar Staff, for over 10yrs.. I can state with absolute certainty that people that held their money like that at the bar, were those that got ignored for as long as possible. On the contrary, the tip for getting served quickly was serving the person that had just said "no I think it was you pal, go ahead.." ... oh and a good server will remember who came in what order fairly reasonably as a part of their service. I used to love working a good busy bar... hours would just disappear!! Edit.... I really should watch the video before writing a comment haha!!

[@deanobeany]

He missed the part in a barber shop where you know you're next, the guy next to you knows you're next, the barber knows you're next, but you politely feign being pleasantly surprised "oh, yeah I think its me"

[@grahamlive]

My technique is, upon entering the barber's shop is to ask who was last in. Then I know I'm after that guy. Sometimes that even triggers a little conversation among the waiting clientele, and everyone sorts out the queue order. And what often happens after that is, the next guy enters the shop and the person who is last in the queue will say "You're after me mate". It's a good system. But, as Dave says, someone will muck it up by waiting on a specific barber. Thereby disrupting the queue order.

[@KeithWWatson]

Dave is a absolute genius, I have actually seen him live.

The last time I was on a plane, I waited by the gate until the plane had boarded (playing "Darkest Dungeons") and at the other end didn't even get up from my seat until everyone else had got on. The cabin crew asked if I worked as cabin crew!

[@1kreature]

Surely you mean it is a doggy dog world at a bar! :p

[@crispyandspicy6813]

The best startegy for supermarket queues is to yell "a new checkout is open!" so people at the end of already existing queues scramble to catch it but in reality there isn't one, you go in the place of someone who left their place, since it is the law that if you forfeited your place in a queue you can't get it back.

[@cannygrowabeard]

17:11 “four people at till number one, five people at till number 2, and four people at till number three” 2020/21 update: only tills 1 and 3 are open. And the queues are up and down aisles

[@davidcollins9512]

Quite often you look at the people in the queue rather than what they have in their basket/trolley. A queue of five people with small basket loads will be slower than a queue of five people with full trolleys - the full trolley people want to get out asap, but the basket people want to stop and have a chat with the staff over every mundane thing because they are lonely & want someone to talk to.

[@drsnova7313]

I never understood the point of priority boarding, and never buy it. Not only that, as soon as boarding starts everybody is jumping up to stand in two or more queues for 20 minutes. Why? Do you think you're getting better seats? Get to the destination faster? No, you're not. I wait until all queues are almost gone, sit there comfortably and get in line last. And amazingly, my plane lifts up at the same time as everyone else's. It's particularly funny if, as Dave says, you first get on a bus - and you get a pretty good idea over time which airlines will have you depart to the plane via bus. The sweet spot being if you manage to get onto the first of two busses, and get into the bus last. A second bus most typically waits at the terminal until the last moment to get any late stragglers to the plane. The only sort of advantage I see is having a higher chance of getting an overhead locker. But this was not a problem on 95% of flights I have been on (and I fly regularly), and it's not like they toss your luggage out of the window if you don't find any. One time in my life so far did I have to pick up my hand luggage from the carousel. All in all, it may be worth it if you're not on a low-cost carrier, AND a nearly fully booked flight, AND you have cumbersome hand luggage, AND you are genuinely in a hurry upon arrival, then sure, spend those few Euros for some peace of mind.

[@eIucidate]

The public must have cottoned on to the ridiculousness. Nowadays the airline combine extra luggage allowance with Priority, so you get a real advantage.

[@usvalve]

At the cashpoint, I think that two people hung back because at a real cash point, there is usually a normally-spaced queue up to a 'wait here' line and then a gap of about 6 or 8 feet to the cashpoint user.

[@jasonmonk7336]

Lol and who would of thought we'd all be told where to stand pretty much everywhere nowadays (for good cause i admit.

Ahh queue strategy. Last time I heard this covered was Eddie Izzard in the Definite Article. A topic sadly ignored by most comedians.

[@jacobturnerart]

Bar etiquette - don't be the sort of twunt like the guy who reached over the bar and grabbed my arm because I lost track of which of the 20 people waiting were next... I hated bar work.

[@masoncampbell971]

seems like it would be a good idea to have a 'take a number' system at bars when they're busy. That way no one gets shafted and if you're too drunk to take a number and wait you've clearly had enough to drink already.

[@porticojunction]

Funny that 8 years later Black Friday crowds aren't even a thing.

[@alansmithee419]

I once ran into some people who seemed to think it was OK to pay the person at the front of a queue to let you in front of them. What they clearly hadn't noticed (and refused to hear me out on) was that it's akin to shooting fifty people in the shin and only paying one person's hospital bills. You may have noticed I used the British "queue" but mentioned hospital bills. My location is a _mystery._

[@b-dog3207]

still wanna know if christian bought dave a pint

[@petergerdes1094]

I always thought priority boarding was just an indirect way of reserving a slot in the overhead bins. When I travel w/o checked baggage it often means I have items I don't want to be seperated from in all my bags.

[@soberhippie]

I bought myself one of those sheering machines, now I cut my own hair. And I can do the same haircut Dave has (which he might have got on one of those "I can wait" occasions)

[@andrewt836]

Once you stand at a till, you’re committed to that till. If a new till opens, its first option is to the shoppers not yet committed. Otherwise it’s up for grabs between the people at the end of each of the other queues.

[@Heligany]

Ive done the note thing at a bar once, I had waited ages and thought they might be ignoring me because they were assuming I was with a man who would buy and pay-rather than on my own (this was a very long time ago LOL).... on reflection I should probably just have left and gone somewhere less busy.

Isn't Dave's footprint queue uncomfortably close? You're supposed to stand back from the person at the ATM, and I think that's why most people didn't follow as he wanted. They felt uncomfortable even if they didn't know why.

[@JRCSalter]

The thing I don't get about priority boarding is that you've already been assigned your seating. You're not even going to be able to choose a better seat. You pay money to stand in a longer queue just to sit down in a seat you've already chosen just so you can do it a few minutes sooner. I'll keep my money, thank you.

I actually like the idea of black Friday if we did it properly. It's supposed to be a big sale that denotes the official start of the Christmas shopping season. In the US there is no mention of Christmas in the media or in stores until that day. Give us that part as well and I'd lovingly welcome this fine American tradition. But if we're going to continue starting the Christmas season in September then having this sale day, somewhere just after the mid point of all that, is meaningless. x

Dave has clearly never worked at a busy bar. All jobs, even the most menial, have their learned skills, and with bartending the memorized queue is one of the most important. You quickly learn to recognise who's the next person to be served, and if you're good you never get it wrong.
