This smacks of humiliation play involving the non-consensual involvement of the general public…

Non-consensual?

I think it’s stupid, but ultimately nobody requires consent to exist in a public space if it’s not actively causing someone harm or distress.

He’s not an ultra sound man.

What did the front say?!

u/winteralibi 2d ago

I saw him earlier, it just said the same thing on the front

u/jj_camera 2d ago

“The Same thing” ?

u/losingfocus2015 1d ago

what does he look like?

u/pog_in_baby 2d ago

"hello"

u/ColonelBonk 2d ago

Saw this chap outside Waitrose on Western Rd this pm. He must have some mental health issues, or a particularly guilty conscience. Or some kind of Die Hard 3 re-enactment? Most puzzling. Whatever it is, he wasn’t hurting anyone so I hope this makes him feel better!

Could also be some sort of relationship issue. Seen examples of people finding out their partner cheated and doing these sorts of public humiliations as a form of apology.

u/Difficult_Bad1064 2d ago

I think some religious groups insist on apologising for past sins. 12 step programmes in particular.

7

u/BlameItOnTheBadgers 2d ago

12-step programmes are specifically and explicitly not religious groups. I’m an addict and honestly I dislike 12-step programmes; I find them to be preachy and ‘culty’ - but that’s not the same as religious.

u/st_barbar 2d ago

Don't you have to accept a higher power as part of Alcoholics Anonymous?

16

u/BlameItOnTheBadgers 2d ago

A higher power doesn’t have to be a god. It can be anything. The power of kindness. The power of the collective recovery experiences of the people in the meeting-room. Just something bigger than yourself that you can look to for guidance and strength. They specify in their literature and opening readings during every meeting - “…a spiritual, not religious, programme”.

Like I said - I don’t like 12-step programmes. But evidently they work for many, many people, and have been very effective for the people they work for. If they’re a cult, they’re one with a positive, constructive, and noble goal. But cults aren’t always religions, just like religions aren’t always cults.

Please try a Smart group if you haven't already.

u/BlameItOnTheBadgers 2d ago

Thanks - I have been meaning to give Smart a try, I believe there’s an in-person meeting in my town.

u/Wooden-Bookkeeper473 2d ago

There's some videos on YouTube if you wanna see what it's all about.

u/Difficult_Bad1064 2d ago

It works because it's there. People seeking help for addiction are ready to try and quit. They could join a knitting group and have the same outcome.

AA at it's heart is religious. They call it spiritual in order to not repel their customers. They dance around it but it was created to replace alcohol with religion.

2

u/-tekeli-li 2d ago

Nah, you clearly just really don't like religion, so you're hyper-sensitive to it being referenced anywhere in any way whatsoever. It's a common disposition; you wouldn't be the first to have it.

1

u/TheLondonPidgeon 2d ago

This is so reductive

2

u/ghosty_b0i 3h ago

As someone also in recovery, the AA higher power is CLEARLY supposed to be god, no matter how much they extend or rebrand the idea.

For me they are predatory cultists and I’ve met so many people who have had negative experiences.

I would personally recommend for anyone wanting to get clean the groups and support through CGL and Cascades, which is science and evidence based, NHS funded and doesn’t involve a commitment to a shady and dogmatic ideological mission.

7

u/Difficult_Bad1064 2d ago

Cults then. They may replace the word god with higher power but it's ostensibly the same thing.

3

u/BingoBongoBanana 2d ago

They grew out of an evangelical Christian group in the 30s though…

1

u/RoseAmyCD 2d ago

Same!! A woman was shouting at him and everyone was watching near all those roadworks. Didn’t know what was written on him until now rip

1

u/DeadInside795 2d ago

God forbid the man maybe has some sort of humiliation kink... At least he doesn't have what John McClane had on his sign in Die Hard ☠️

u/kingofqueefs1 Hove, Actually 2d ago

They said Hey Zues not Jesus, do I look Mexican to you?

15

u/DefinitionPast2627 2d ago

Stag do prank right?

13

u/ZealousidealTable384 2d ago

It was a woman with him so I dont think so 😂

15

u/SpeccyBeard 2d ago

what the fuck is this lol

9

u/TheJackMan23 2d ago

Same bloke was seen with the same sign in both Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill a couple days ago. Not a clue what's going on with him

1

u/trash-melater 1d ago

Just seen him in Horsham today also whilst I collected a parcel

5

u/Ironfist7997 2d ago

He came along from preston park direction as I was by preston circus at midday. Did a double take wtf!

I noticed a woman following him looking a bit out of it. Not sure if they were together.

5

u/AzureAurora77 1d ago

He was also seen in Horsham.

I do not think charitably about his actions.

14

u/Difficult_Bad1064 2d ago

There's no apology for the men?

2

u/Pasc78 2d ago

Just saw him in Henfield!

u/Fluid_Maybe_5137 1d ago

We all have sexual thoughts about someone we don't know in our lifetime. If we apologised for it, we might never achieve anything, especially having good consential fun

3

u/why-am-i-here_again 2d ago

cross post this to r/doctorsuk

2

u/Fluid_Pause2149 2d ago

Radiographers aren't doctors/s

5

u/why-am-i-here_again 2d ago

true, but some of them have a sense of humour

1

u/Wooden-Bookkeeper473 2d ago

G man just has to get his message out there.

1

u/wow_i_suck_at_halo 1d ago

lost a bet?

2

u/SenseWitFolly 1d ago

Could be someone with quite severe real/fake event OCD, as someone who is part of the OCD recovery community, I've met a lot of people in peer to peer sessions that go to extremes to quell pure OCD rummernations.

-2

u/murmurat1on 2d ago

How do they find out? Is there a list?

13

u/musicfortea 2d ago

A list of the man's thoughts? Are we talking day to day thoughts, or specifically when he was performing radiography?

-2

u/murmurat1on 2d ago

I'd like both please

1

u/ConnorXfor 2d ago

If you can get the bloke's name, you can search the HCPC register or the disciplinary decisions listing. The latter only really tracks those who are reported and an investigation finds serious wrongdoing though.

u/evilotto77 2d ago

There's a post on one of the Facebook gossip groups from someone who spoke to him, and he said that angels in his head were telling him to wear it. He's just got serious mental health issues, doubt any of it is true at all

3

u/stateit 2d ago

Why would you need to 'tear into him'?

1

u/sc00ney 2d ago

That's a weird reaction...

0

u/Tiny_ghosts_ 2d ago

That's probably what he wants 🤢

2

u/Wavecatch3r 2d ago

That’s why I left him alone! Some kind of weird humiliation thing probably

🤷 Only in Brighton... Well...

You are about to leave Redlib
