I have a few from when I worked at Walt Disney World, things that were used to avoid upsetting guests. These may have changed since I was there, as this was over a decade ago, but here are the ones I remember: 101 - Ride down/needs maintenance 102 - Ride back up and running 103 - I need a bathroom break, please cover my position Signal 25 - Fire BP - Blood Protein spill - Vomit Milk spill - Ejaculate I now work at a grocery store. Needless to say, the first time there was a spill in the dairy department, I made some interesting faces. It was fun traumatizing my coworkers with the reason why.
1:14 this is honestly so interesting to me, im pretty fascinated by graffiti as i've noticed certain 4-letter and number combinations spray painted all over the city i live in and want to know what they mean (i don't remember them but i will when i go outside), but i live in serbia so it might have different meanings
The last story about the trucker signal, that’s true. OP explained it well as I use it when I can. My stepfather taught me that trick back in 2018 when I was moving.
3:45 my favourite UN number is 2977, Uranium Hexaflouride. The most common one I see is 1942, ammonium nitrate, because there’s a lot of farms and mine sites in my state
Trucker/hauler code (from my grandpa) 1 flash/break- aware signal (usually headlights or just a heads up) or acknowledged 2 flash/break- caution (police, debris, bad driver, etc) Lots of flash/break- emergency/ prepare to stop Turn signal pause turn signal - I want to get over that direction (flash/break once will confirm the transfer) Flash and turn signal- signal to the vehicle in front of you that you are allowing them to get over. It's then your responsibility to block the traffic behind you so the truck can make the transfer Constant turn - turning Left, right, left, right- Thank you
The last one's pretty common in general. Like flashing your headlights to tell other people that there's a cop up ahead or depending on how many times you flash your lights could also indicate dead animal or something in the road or turn your headlights on. Really just depends
A black ring on the middle finger of the right hand means you're asexual. A white ring on the middle finger of the left hand means you're aromantic. Also, a lot of plants have a historical meaning, and could be used to communicate shockingly detailed information (If you're curious, look up "Victorian flower language" or "Hanakotoba," the two most common types that are still sometimes used today)
Wow, to me nodding has always had different meanings. In my experience a nod up is an acknowledgment of someone else in a similar way to saying 'hi how are you' (serves as a standard greeting but sometimes used because you don't know the person but you've locked eyes so you acknowledge them and move on with your day). Nod down on the other hand is an acknowledgment of attention, you are giving someone your undivided attention and listening to what they are saying.
the hospital one is not quite accurate - that varies by facility. code blue is pretty standard, but i've seen bomb threat be code black some places, but not others. code red is pretty much always fire. code pink is almost always child cardiac arrest. code grey can either mean a wandering elderly patient or bomb, depending on where you are. a lot of places don't have a specific color for IT issues, they'll call the name of the system that's down (because most of them don't mean anything to the public). watch how staff react when they're called and you'll be able to figure out which are informational and which are actionable/critical.
The language used in the reference you are given by your employer in germany. It is not allowed to frame the employee in a negative way. Subsequequently, your reference might include sentences like: "Was of great help to the team when at work", implying that you didn't always show up to work without saying it outright. Since your next salary might depend on that reference it might be worth having it checked by an attorney.

Similarly, my dad taught me this when I was learning to drive and I’ve been able to use it a few times

2977 aka yellow cake.
A cake you REALLY don't want to eat.

In addition to K18 there's also ID 10-T and PEBKAC.

2:25 this seems far-fetched, but I've yet to hear it, and I've lived in the south almost all my life
The shoes over the power line can apparently also mean a death of someone, particularly a drug user.
It also used to be very popular in the military to throw your boots over the power lines when you were getting out
@@Mr.Crow7 also not uncommon In some college circles

But it's not like the Germans to use less than direct language...

Good morning o/
Goodmorning! \o
I've seen that everywhere and always wondered what it meant
@@anotparticularlynotableguy the o/ is like a little stick figure waving
@@anotparticularlynotableguy as for the "goodmorning" it's like a greeting or something, I don't know how to describe it.
@@KyleGK01 ahhh that makes a lot of sense, thanks! I've also seen o7, and seeing as o/ is a wave, is o7 a salute?
Turn signals...
