That person talking about the clock doesn’t realize that everyone understands what they’re talking about
I wish that were true. I have a friend who's a sweetheart but can't read an analog clock for their life, let alone understand clock-based directions.
@@o0Avalon0o alright but knowing how to actually follow the instructions isn't the same as just knowing what they're shorthand for
like if I said 'in one second, divide 187 into 2934'- you'd know what I wanted you to do, you just probably wouldn't be able to do it

2319. When a sock escapes and into the workplace at the monster's inc Door factory.
The door factory? Wasn't it the scream factory?

When my husband went on his last business flight for work, the plane passengers were surprised when the safety drill was interrupted by the captain telling the cabin crew to be seated. Then the captain said 'Condition One'. A vertical take off followed. My husband believes the captain was told by Air traffic control, 'Take off immediately, because we must shut the airport.' The date was 11th September 2001, and the plane was on it's way to Amsterdam. Condition One means 'Do it immediately.'
wow...interesting story...where did the flight originate?
@@mymixedbiscuit9159 It was from Stansted airport in England. I can remember watching the horrific events as they happened in America - about 14.00hrs in GMT. When my daughter came home, the first thing I said was, 'You'd better go on AOL , to see if your friends are ok.' She said her first thought was 'There's something wrong with the computer' But in those days, I only used it for card games and did not use the internet. Then she saw the news on TV.
it can vary for diff airlines I think
Many years ago an iron bridge collapsed in Quebec and many people died due to an engineering blunder. We wear the ring on the pinky of our dominant hand so that it touches every page we touch or sign off on. This is to remind us that we have a responsibility towards protecting the lives we impact through engineering. Wearing the ring is a pledge to uphold honesty, integrity, and professionalism.
Remember reading about that
The rings used to be made from iron from the bridge
That is so cool
Many say this is an urban legend or no evidence? Bummer if that’s the case
@@RedeXebluE No it's true. A bridge did collapse in Quebec and One of the universities started the iron ring ceremony. Now all Canadian Universities have an iron ring ceremony for graduates. I heard that some American universities have started the tradition now too. Every engineer I meet has the iron ring on their pinky. It's also a symbol of pride too, I mean it's pretty tough work becoming an engineer.
There are a few codes we use in sketchy areas and such
“I think I should get a new purse” = someone is eyeing your purse, hold it tightly
“Did you get your nails done?” = I can see someone is following you, either you can follow me or you should have something as a weapon at the ready.

I am a minor. Some years ago I had to travel by myself. I was the first one to board the plane. The pilot talked to me for a while and explained all the emergency protocols. The last thing he said was if anyone was bothering, I should order “the double chocolate cake”. This way they would know something was wrong and get me out of that seat.

3:34 I've been doing the hello nod to everyone I know ,it's just instinct .
Its not that specific. I think it even differs per person. I almost always nod up for hello to strangers, unless I'm wearing a hat.
I do this to most strangers. Same for the up nod, I do that as a way to inform someone to move.
I didn't know anything about this, I just nod at people back if they nod at me.
For me it's usually a nod down as to say hello respectfully to a Stanger/Person in a position of authority, or when I'm agreeing with someone. A nod up is usually a way for me to say what's up to friends or to return it to someone else who did it to me first while crossing paths. That's usually all I use a nod up for because I consider it to be informal so only use it with friends. They can mean other things depending on facial expressions, but I'd rather not get into all that. It's different for many people, and they probably follow their own set of rules unknowingly until they stop to think about it. It's one of those subconscious things.
Same. I do the nod-down for "hello" to strangers, and the nod-up for "what's up" to people I know. But I've never done the aggressive one.

You’re in the club, house music is blasting, when some guy decides to smack a drink out of your hand. A shouting match starts and you can tell that this dude isn’t going to back off. Adrenaline starts rushing through your body, you can feel the strength in your arms suddenly double, when out of nowhere the music stops and you hear lil Jon scream “YEAUHH, OKAY”. In that moment you realize......shits about to go down
For anybody who doesn't know:
Green= You may continue/start to move forward
Yellow= Caution, be prepared to stop
Red= Stop all movement
People crossing the street then get rammed by cars since they cannot go against the will of the lights.
And the people in the cars shed quiet tears as they accelerate, knowing what is about to happen.
Yellow: Speed up

Woah thanks

Every Cruise Ship has a morgue, many elderly people choose to spend their last weeks, months and sometimes years of cruise ships 😊
oh...
dope, a cruise mortician would be a sweet gig
Really interesting
Spooky but understandable
Yeah, ironically, often times a cruise ship is cheaper and far nicer than a retirement home so the elderly will often continually buy cruise tickets and die while at sea.
Recently a car flashed their lights on and off at me to signal that my headlights were off. Also, in Japan if someone does something nice on the road, like slows down so you can switch lanes, then you put your emergency lights on for two blinks to say "thank you"
Flashing lights as a thanks is common in lots of places - in the UK too (though usually it's just a single flash)
@@nathangamble125 by flash do you mean the bright headlights? In America it doesn't mean thanks at all 😂
These small kind exchanges makes everyone smile.
In Australia, we either flash our light or more commonly raise our hand to say thanks.
I think this thing is common in many countries, however some flashing lights can have different interpretion depending on one's situation. As an example, a car suddenly gets into your lane in front, flash lights on and off to shows how you're a piece of shit that that could've put someone's life in danger. Or if someone is driving in front of us slowly, just flash lights on and off to show that the driver needs to use the other slower lane.
In Eastern Europe emergency lights means "thank you" too
Aircraft squawk codes are a good one. The ones of note are:

Security codes. Code Adam is for lost child.
Internet in a Nutshell i just saw you below the video of askreddit tells!
@@lasamisalagne7377 lol i saw u too
why don't you just say "someone lost their kid"?
@@CelineCatalina98 I work in retail. We don't announce a lost child because of several reasons: 1. The abductor (if applicable) will realize that we're on to them, potentially causing a panic that could escalate into violence against the child or other customers 2. If the child is simply lost, a potential abductor might become incited by the prospect of a missing child and try to find them before employees.
As a parent and employee, I take Code Adam very seriously. There are predators in this world just waiting for an opportunity, and I'm going to do my part to keep kids safe.
@@CelineCatalina98 they don't want to alert the person who may have kidnapped him that they're on to him, and they don't want people to freak out. Most of the time the kid wandered off to the toy or electronic section, though, but just in case.

The clock one is obviuse to anyone watching movies with fight scenes in it because someone will say "on your 6" meaning he is behind you

Clock one is just obvious I mean it’s always in movies and books

I detected a hint of sarcasm in that post.
@@tristanssimpson1324 Maybe it was sarcasm, I was really confused why it's on this list. "Maybe they're from a different country," I thought.
How did that post get so many upvotes? I thought using the clock for directions was common knowledge?

Someone send that to r/iamverysmart. Multiple ocupations have knowledge of that, the most numerous being anyone who has played a Call of Duty game.
In customer service at my meat market, if we say "we'll be right with you sir" it means "one if my coworkers better hear this and serve you because I'm busy right now."

Truck Driver here! Theres other codes we use on the CB such as “There’s one pointed at you” means there is a cop with a radar gun nearby and to watch your speed. Truck drivers are a brotherhood. I love my profession.
That would be "a bear taking pictures at the 87 yardstick"
Notna trucker but I know some of this. Sometimes there's even a bear in the air. I was told you dim lights to say clear to merge, flash means you did something wrong, unless it's oncoming lanes and then it's a heads up for cops or hazards

I texted my bff Azure and she told me about this bc she used to live here... I never apologized for something so stupid... my bf is in another state though... like... what?!

In restaurants “86” means “get rid of it” anything from “86 shrimp” means we are out of shrimp to “86 table 60” means kick out table 60. I work in a kitchen in the south and the “in the weeds” one is beyond true
86 is probably one of the first things you learn when you start working in the service industry. The "Canadian" thing is true too. (I'm in Texas btw) It seems like there is a lot more codes or sayings? It's been an extremely long time though. I will admit, working at a restaurant when you are young is so fun, that's if you have fun people working there too. I wish I could rewind the clock back 20+ years and do it again. Good times!!!
And to be "86'ed" is to be killed, driven out 80 miles, and buried 6ft deep. 😬
In the weeds only means that a lot of orders just came in or something equivalent to being "slammed". It is quite the opposite to "not knowing what the fuck is going on". Someone who is aware of the situation and knows the terminology would use it like "busboy John, help the dishwasher for a minute, 5 tables just left and he is in the weeds."
Here's something else you probably didn't know. The origin of "86" is that the mafia led casinos in Las Vegas would drive you 80 miles into the desert and leave you 6 feet under. That's what it originally meant.
I wish they kicked people out at my restaurant😕
I live in Alabama and My mom was a waitress for most of my life. I've NEVER heard anyone talk about Canadians while meaning black people? Like, what?
The upward nod (most common among teen boys and young men) is basically the extension of an eyebrow raise - it's usually done instinctually and indicates that we recognize the person and are not hostile toward them. The downward nod is a miniature bow - the equivalent of a polite smile or friendly handshake.
My female cat does this to me all the time though.
i see the downward nod in most anime lol

Might be a "unknown" code of sorts for people who know plants. Not that anyone is purposely giving a code but that the fact a type of plant is in an unusual spot or that a place has a plant with special uses may be trying to hide or indicate something. Sometimes I'll see a yard with beautiful plants but the plants themselves are not taken care of or get mowed over/cut down every time it grows which leads me to believe those people didn't live there when they were planted or the occupant is getting old/dead so someone else takes "care" of the yard.
It was the perfect reflection of the pseudo enlightened degenerate redditor

Costco employee here. The price signs have several different codes that only employees and very savvy shoppers know about.
If the price ends in .99, that means the item is being sold at it's normal Costco price, and is usually something we carry often.
If the price ends in .97, that means the item has been marked down.
If the price ends in .00 or .88, that means the manager wants the item sold ASAP and has marked down the price significantly. This is usually reserved for items low in stock or items that have been returned.
If the price ends in .49, .79, or .89 then the manufacturer has given Costco a special promotional deal and you'll be very unlikely to find that product for a cheaper price elsewhere.
If there is an asterisk (*) on the top-right corner of the sign, that means Costco has discontinued the item, and you should stock up before the item is gone for good.
This is true for US stores, but I'm unsure what the rules are in international Costcos.
Worked in membership, can confirm. Also a price ending in 5 means that warehouse doesn't have more coming

when my mom says wait till we get home, its code for "your gonna get a beating for making a fuss" oop
We have the same mom
That’s just a threat... 🤣🤣🤣
When I ask my mom for mcdonald's and she says "we have food at home", thats code for "I dont have any money"
You got to get all the way home? Shit my mom would f me up in the car. She wore more rings than Mr. T. When the radio got loud I knew it was time to pay the piper.
At a hospital I was at the codes were:
Code lavender- verbal aggression/ people yelling
Code green- physical aggression/ people fighting
Code blue- medical emergency
The funny part was they usually all happened in this order.
There was also "Dr. Book report to..." This meant a patient was making a run for it. Or as I like to say, they were *booking* it.
no they were BROOKing it
Those codes vary somewhat from hospital to hospital. Most hospitals give employees a code list which goes on their ID tag pin/chain so they can quickly refer to it. Yes, codes should be universal, but there's always some hospital administrator who thinks that he knows better than everyone else in the world.
Code yellow at my mum's hospital means a patient has disappeared or gotten lost somewhere.
Would code aquamarine be a fight AND a medical emergency? Maybe code magenta would be someone yelling while having a medical emergency.
Airport: makes Mr Sands a code for emergency
Mr Sands *showing up at the airport *: I’m about to end this man’s whole career
Inspector Sands, standing at incident: "Right you hoes need to stop calling on my name for your emergencies, else you'll get a real ass beating from me"
_the person inducing the threat happens to be a Mr. Sands_
Then he arrives and dies.
The man nod transcends cultures, languages and generations. You can make peace treaties and war declarations with the same neck muscles contracting.
9:42 Be careful with that one. Differs from hospital to hospital.
Bruh everyone knows about the "clock and direction" thing

And who the hell just calls it out in public at random, and think it's a cool thing? If someone called it out to me, and I didn't know that person, and there wasn't a cop or something dangerous orsomething there I would seriously think about starting some shit with that person.

If you ever feel unsafe whilst on a date or in a club etc. (i.e a woman meeting a man for the first time but you feel there's a sinister alterior motive), go to the bar and 'ask for Angela'.
The staff will then discreetly call you a cab to leave/ escort you out of the fire exit without making too much of a fuss (trusting that they're in the know).
Edit: just found out that in a lot of bars/clubs in the UK have posters inside the girls toilets about the 'Ask for Angela' campaign.
But what if the reverse is true? Who do the men ask for if they feel unsafe?

That first one about cancelling something works pretty well.

The hospital codes are different at EVERY HOSPITAL. It all depends on their individual codes.
So that means they basically gave away what hospital they work/worked at lol
You are 100% correct. At my hospital, the colours correspond to sifferent codes
At the hospital my brother was in, he went into a seizure then fell into status. They called a code blue. Glad you said this cause the one in the video confused me
At Walmart “Code White” is for a medical emergency. They called it when o told them not to and I was fine
Here are the rest FYI
White: Injury
Blue: Bomb
Red: Fire
Black: Tornado
Adam: missing child
Orange: Chemical spill or Hazardous materials (Unidentified blood counts.)
Brown: Acts of Violence.
Not sure What Code Management is But every time I hear it its for the cash office.
In my hospital its code blue
However, code silver is an active shooter code almost everywhere else but in my hospital. It means stolen/missing old person
In a hospital it mean aggressive patient
@@TXejas19 Sounds like Code Gray would make more sense.
When I was a stocker, "Code Brown" meant I just took a shit in light bulb isle.

If we had the parents name, we'd say "call for [insert name] at customer service" there was also a "Staff call for Mr Robinson's" the store never had a Mr Robinson work there, it meant were being robbed.
Lol the “Canadians in the south” one is a troll. I’ve lived in Alabama and Georgia my whole life and haven’t heard it
Never heard it either in South Florida
rbeck3200tb40 Some of them might be a little surprised if they go to Canada and there’s not a single black person to be found.
I live in a small town in Canada and there are a few black people here. They’re all super nice families that immigrated from Africa, no gangs or anything like that.
I've heard it.
Same. Never heard of it despite living in Georgia my whole life.
Same. Live in Texas and never heard it before. Ain't nothing wrong with using the word "black" to describe someone. And if people are gonna be racists, they tend not to be discreet about it.

I’m actually glad EMS uses A high five to signal Hi V... I call it the “high five” cause V is Roman numeral for five, so it’s hi V. The “house in Virginia” is also clever, but not quite as clever as the high five.

I used to work in a musical instrument retailer, and I used to do inventory on Fender guitars because we had a wholesale client.

At some dinner places there's a sign that's says call for Angela. Most people or guys won't know this, but it's for, say if you were meeting up with someone that you met online and they're making you uncomfortable, you tell the person at the desk to call Angela and they come up with a quick excuse for you to get out of there. I'm not totally sure how it works, but still pretty cool.
At many bars they do exactly that, but it varies. You could ask for a sweet lemon martini and that's the code for minimal help, or a extra sweet lemon martini for security or the police. This works quite well in front of the person that's making you uncomfortable.
Yep some bars might have a name listed, or a specific drink you can order which lets the staff know you don't trust the person in your company and you need a safe way out without causing a direct confrontation. If a place does not have something listed, you can always go to the bar and ask

@@JohnSmith19282 how would u know?
Since the fear of killing sprees has grown in germany, they installed codes in buildings like schools and stuff. if the neccessary button is pushed (often near the fire alarm but more harmless, in my school it was a "care taker alarm" to summon care takers. there were no care takers at my school) and the code was only given out to the teachers. Some where dumb enough to write it down so to this day I know the code word was "Mrs Koma" which is backwards for Amok - Killing spree.
In response to the hospital codes some of those are out of date here are updated one
Code red: Fire
Code blue: cardiac/respiratory arrest
Code white: pediatric medical emergency
Code grey: behavioral situation
Code pink + age + sex is missing person
Code triage: external/internal disaster
Code orange: hazardous contamination
Code yellow: Bomb threat
Really depends a lot on the hospital.

I'm assuming it's like the bills having watermarks, it's so that the officer can check if it's real. Maybe that's why they take your license back to their car for a little bit when pulled over

The next time you see an ad, be it a poster, a flyer, etc. Look closely at it. For example, an ad for a shampoo.
It claims to "reduce" dandruff, but at the end of that statement at the top right, next to it, is an opoosite sign in extremely fine print, in this case, a minus or negative sign will be found. Give it a try.

11:22 - Mr Sands, or as it is more commonly known, Inspector Sands, isn't used *because* it's an uncommon last name. Legend has it that it originates from using buckets of sand to put out fires. It's typically used in train stations or airports, where there's a lot of footfall and a lot of large dangerous machinery. It primarily means fire, but can also be for a medical emergency, bomb threat, "one under" (suicide), or other cause for evacuation.
Fun fact: large stations with a Inspector Sands announcement usually have it set up as a prerecorded message. When the fire safety system detects smoke/heat or a fault in an area, it announces "Would Inspector Sands please go to [location of fault/fire - such as 'Platform 2']". If there's multiple faults/sensors activated (or for safety reasons - some curious people may head to the location mentioned and end up in danger), it may ask the fictitious Inspector to go to the control room instead. Once a length of time elapses without the alarm being acknowledged, most systems automatically set off the fire alarm proper to shoo people out of the area, as it should be assumed that a serious issue has occurred and the building is deemed unsafe. Of course, staff can also elect to trigger the alarm themselves, or cancel it if nothing is wrong.
You can find a few videos of these systems from trainspotters on TH-cam (:
Another fun fact: I'm pretty sure it originated from theatre talk; when there was something going on backstage that needed attention (fire, fight, prop/electrical/stage issue, etc.) from the stagecrew, someone would mention "Mr. Sands" and take care of the problem while the show was on

Male nod code (as far as I understand)
Down nod: a respectful gesture used when someone else does something they approve of, similar to a bow
Up nod: acknowledgment of another's actions/taunt (example being, "try me and see what happens")
Left tilt: usually means "lets move somewhere else" typically used in a noisy area when they are unsatisfied by the location
Right tilt: usually means "check behind me but don't make it obvious"
Most often used at bars when a guy wants the person he's with to be his wing man but can also mean the same thing as a left tilt
Down shake: a disapproving gesture when someone makes a bad choice or fails to do something
Up shake: a disappointed gesture when someone does something they disapprove of (opposite of the down shake)

The “aggressive” nod is usually accompanied by a sort of mean face or a face that looks unfriendly. That’s how you know it’s aggressive.
If the face is neutral or smiling then it’s a “what’s up” nod.
It can be taken to mean something like 'come on then!' or something along those lines.
Also, when accompanied by a sort of confused expression, with brow furrowed, the upward nod means 'what's going on/you okay?'
That's just common sense
There's also the quizzical upwards nod. Like, if someone just said something to you that you don't quite understand or they said something you didn't quite hear.
Over in the UK I’ve found that the north “ where I’m from “ uses the nod to politely say hello to/ thank strangers and acquaintances. It’s probably also used down south but I have little experience of it ✨

If anyone need an explanation, two slow down is a sign of "you right" or "i get it", while two fast down mean "i'm with you".
Two fast up means "hey" while two slow up means "the fuck you are".
There are small variation, like:
Two slow up with a weird or smug face means "fuck you". While two slow down while your eyes are closed "i completely get you, no need to continue".
Now tho i'm curios if in the world it changes a bit. Anyone is free to tell me!
