Re: Don't wear high vis

Ah, yes. The curse of a bright jacket. I used to wear a bright yellow plastic jacket (not a high-viz, just yellow) on days when it was raining and I took a load of cans and stuff just down the road to the recycling station. Cue a large number of people completely ignoring the big "I don't work here" message stuck to my jacket and asking where does this go? Where does that go? Can I recycle this?

The first? A bloke holding an old rusty metal thing and me standing next to a big crate with a sign saying "metal goes here".

It's as if a bright jacket is an invitation for people to completely switch their brains off.
