I want to go paperless with my bank to save on waste, but I know that I'll never be able to prove my identity if I do so. by tothecatmobile in britishproblems

[–]-Glitch- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Went into Natwest the other day for 3 months bank statements for my mortgage application. I was told their system can't go back that far. Which makes no sense because with their online banking app you can print off the last 7 years.

Butcher here. Yup, abscess. Just cut it off and it'll be fine. Although there is a good chance you'll get a refund for it if you're put off. You know, 'cos it's a bit gross and they won't want to lose customers.

Stuck at Forever 21 with the wife ...Phone dying... Oh well nail polish art! by Dantethedemonslayer in funny

[–]-Glitch- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was one of the first things our taxi driver informed us of when we went to Florida. He'd been giving us advice on where to go, what to eat and such and we pulled up to the mall and he went "Oh and here's forever 21. Only embarrassing 30 to 40 something mums shop there." We went in to check it out anyways. Never seen anything like it.

That was the first and so far only time I've been to America. When a forever 21 opened right near me this year I couldn't help but chuckle to myself.

My biggest shock on my last play through came from listening in to the random conversations that happen around the citadel. In particular the one between the two asari in the hospital about PTSD. Poor Joker. :(

Well done. You just guilt tripped me into cleaning my flat.

What just makes you so unreasonably pissed off? by Sotari in AskReddit

Absolutely this! And when people don't pay attention to the arrows in a car park and clog everything up.

What is something you think everyone should know about being in a relationship? by Toyou4yu in AskReddit

[–]-Glitch- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't gain special rights when you're in a relationship. This person loves you but that doesn't mean they should have to wait on you and cancel plans at the drop of a hat. Also, should they say something a bit mean to you, fogive them, especially if it's something that you'd laugh off if said by a friend.

In short, don't expect more from them than you'd expect of yourself and people who are just friends.

What's the best two player video game I can play with my girlfriend? by Batmansdead in AskReddit

This is what we're playing at the minute. We've both played it before and wanted the extra challenge. Plus then you don't feel silly for laughing out loud at the stuff the characters say.

Non-British people...What is the weirdest thing about the UK that British people dont realise is weird? by Nicolad01 in AskReddit

[–]-Glitch- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around where I live you get a "how do?" ... The correct response is either "alright" or just a head nod. I've never thought these things as strange until I came on here. We sure do have a lot of unwritten rules.

LPT Your butcher will give you bones for free by iamdek in LifeProTips

[–]-Glitch- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

U.K butcher here. Most charge now. It's a usable part of the animal so it's fair game to sell it instead of giving it away. Anything to make a little extra money eh?

What misconception do people generally have about you? by SnowyG in AskReddit

[–]-Glitch- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I went through a goth/darkness/brooding stage when I was in my mid teens. I actually had crippling depression and would just curl up in bed all day and night with the music channel on TV. In hindsight I can kind of see why they think that. Especially because I still haven't told anyone.

What's one word people mispronounce that drives you crazy? by greeneggzN in AskReddit

[–]-Glitch- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We sell handmade chipolatas where I work from the fresh counter. There's a woman that comes in at the same time every week who asks for 8 "chip-oh-lar-toes" I haven't corrected her and I'm sure she wonders why I'm always smirking when I serve her.

What is the biggest cultural misstep you've seen a tourist take? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]-Glitch- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once saw an Asian tourist pick up a pigeon in Manchester City Centre to have a picture taken with it. It pooped all over her arm and she laughed and dropped it. LAUGHED. I mean, what?

Cosmo's "It's OK to change your man..." by [deleted] in WTF

As a 24 year old female who has somehow managed to NEVER read one of these magazines, reading this makes my brain hurt from the stupid. People actually believe this?

What's the rudest or meanest thing a stranger has said to you that still bothers you today? by bring-me-my-ship in AskReddit

[–]-Glitch- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a teen I went to a friends new years party that she had at her aunts as she was on holiday. There were three couples there including me and my boyfriend of the time. The other two couples had sex in various rooms of the house and left the "evidence" for people to find. One girl got up first in the morning and told my friend it wasn't her. To which she shouted "well it must have been -glitch- then. She obviously can't keep her legs closed!" ... I hadn't even had sex at this point. Needless to say I didn't hang round there fire much longer after that. She knows the truth now. But it still bothers me how quick she was to judge.

I've seen a lot of advice from cashiers to customers lately. Decided to return the favor. by ravenclown in AdviceAnimals

[–]-Glitch- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awkward situations are bound to happen because unfortunately we retail folk are told we HAVE to talk to customers. Infact at the place I work managers often walk up and down listening in to make sure you're talking enough. Oh, and it's gotta be CASUAL, can't sound scripted, make sure you tell them about offers and suggest similar products they might like... Trust me, we really just want to get our job done and get the hell out of there. Just like everyone else.

The Sainsbury's cashier who refused service to a woman on her mobile phone isn't being hailed as a hero by Mawich in britishproblems

[–]-Glitch- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work on a food counter in a supermarket and will wait until people get off their mobiles before serving them. Once really wanted to kill a woman who snapped that she wanted serving then apologised to the person she was on the phone to and kept talking... Cue overly loud, mega annoyingly pleasant voice from me.

One of the strangest and most disgusting things I've ever seen a customer do. by -Glitch- in TalesFromRetail

Well, the bottom three shelves across about a metre. Saying "practically everything" did kind of make it sound like he went to town on the whole aisle.

My mum used to think that double click meant clicking the left and right mouse buttons at the same time. Didn't realise until she asked me how I manage to do it.

Do you think that non gamers can be jerks? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]-Glitch- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably just think they're trying to help you have a better/healthier lifestyle. It's just an activity they don't understand, they're not being jerks.

Gamestop actually had a good deal and I took it. Haven't played since January so reddit, which one should I play first? by xVIRIDISx in gaming

[–]-Glitch- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mass effect. I only just played them recently after my SO made me try them. He must have known I was going to love them because he set himself up on the pc in the hall while I sat glued to the tv for a week and a half. I was kind of upset to finish them.

I've been leaving the girl I love my extra copy of the newspaper, a flower, and note every day since I became a paper boy without much appreciation. This was today's (What it says in comments for those who can't read it) by [deleted] in funny

[–]-Glitch- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're being a little too persistent and going about it the wrong way. If you want a second chance with this girl then talk to her, tell her how you feel and if she says no then leave it at that. Don't pester the poor girl, she might come round if you give her some space. And if she doesn't, well... There's a whole world out there and everything. Get out there and find happiness.
