I number of years ago I pulled up at the side of the road to take a phone call - no bluetooth/handsfree in the vehicle I was driving at the time. Only stopped for a couple of minutes if that, but noticed the curtains twitching from the house opposite as I set off but thought nothing of it.
Could have been worse. I once pulled over in an Astravan in the middle of Huddersfield to take a call after visiting a friend (must have been 2010 as had just split with the ex wife)Turned out where I had stopped was slap bang in the middle of the red light zone, so I got a knock on the window asking if I wanted business (I even innocently wound my window down when she knocked
)She ponced a fag off me when I said no and I made a hasty exit (and no, that's not a euphemism)

Where we live is a nice enough place, the sort of place where at 7pm you could pop outisde and ask a family with torches why they are looking in bushes and under cars with torches, without being stabbed to death by a yoot
But no, you jump on face book and say all sorts of mad stuff about torches being flashed in your window “in the middle of the night”
Family man comes on a few hours later saying, don’t panic, it was me looking for an escaped kitten
But oh no, the local Facebook Karen’s have a bit of drama and won’t let it drop
Truly truly bizzare

Few miles down the road blue flashing lights came tearing up behind me and two police cars boxed me in. Apparently the police had received a number of calls from various residents saying I'd been stopping outside various houses in the village, looking through windows and sneaking into gardens. Didn't take long for the police to work out what happened. Showed them the call list on my phone which tallied up with when I was stopped, and despite it being a drizzly night my shoes and clothes were bone dry, as was the interior of the van which proved I hadn't even left the vehicle, let alone looking through windows or trying to break into garden sheds.
The whole thing blew my mind.

I am sure half of the UK are beyond help.
I do hope the local Facebook groups aren't a wider representation of society at large. 99% of them on mine can't form a coherent sentence with even basic spelling and grammar. I'm not even being a grammar snob about it, some you can't even understand what they are actually trying to say.
