CCTV

I'm sure everyone can remember when they were younger seeing a CCTV where they have a camera up beside it to show you that it is working or whatever.
I'm also certain everyone'll remember being amazed with it and spending ages jumping in and out of the camera's view.
And I'm also positive that for most people the novelty of this wore off eventually.

Unfortunately, it never did for me. Combining my obsession of trying to beat my reflection(I jump past mirrors to see if I can see a noticeable difference between me and the shadow... which is ridiculous, but I started trying before I had realised that) along with the added quirk of the image of me appearing at a different angle(and being possible to beat easily), I never quite grew out of it.

So this week, my supermarket added some new cameras and noticed they had a spare television set upstairs... decided to use it to scare people with this old technique.
As a result I cannot do any work. Every time I see me, I drop everything and start dancing to watch myself dancing so that I can beat me in a dance off between me and myself(I've banned myself from using wobbly leg dances as the low frame rate of cctv make it far to easy for me to beat me).
The management are getting sick of it, my cries of "IF YOU WANT ME TO WORK, THEN GET ME OUT OF MY SIGHT!" are only damaging my job's security more.

Ever since an 18 month long addiction to the Splinter Cell series, I can't pass one of those things without shooting it out in my mind, or looking for something I can use to bust it with.

CCTV scares me. I become Mr Conservative whenever I spot one. I'm afraid video of me scratching my ass or adjusting my important area will end up on YouTube, so I walk straight, head up and keep my hands firmly at my side.

(Although if anyone does combine the footage of me on CCTV, I possibly look a little Nazi-esque)

Haha - great post b.

Xbox: I had the same worrying delusions after my addiction to Goldeneye on the N64.

so everyone's disturbed by cctv in some way?

I think I'll set one up in our sitting room to keep visitors from returning.

Dammit B, that's the funniest thing I've read in ages. You may now be the only blogger funnier than me and I intend to kill you.

Possibly on CCTV
