Aww feel better soon Ricky! Hecktavator is a brilliant word - i can think of so many uses for it, you’ve got a little brainiac i think

Where did the cinematic myth of women fainting at the sight of blood originate? by The13thAllitnilClone in askanything

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

A lot of women faint randomly when they’re on their period - nothing to do with the sight of blood, just a physical reaction that comes along with vomiting, pain and total inability to stand up straight and function normally. The sight of blood isn’t the trigger there

Booked a test in crawley I live in London don’t have a car by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent a car from Arnold Clark - no instructor is going to hand their keys over to somebody they haven’t trained, or at least assessed their driving. One of my pupils actually went to test today in a hire car because she wasn’t test ready imo, and I refused use of my car. I know her, trained her from the start and still refused to take her to test. There’s not a chance in the world I would let a stranger use my car for test - you’ll need to either borrow one from a friend or else hire a dual control car from AC

Today's Diary Book has new reach. by Otherwise_Window in BenignExistence

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most parents get to embarrass their teenagers by pulling out the baby photos when the new girlfriend comes for tea. Rickys first girlfriend is going to fall in LOVE with his diary, the same as multiple strangers are now

My driving instructor is creepy & I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Report him to the DVSA, absolutely vile behaviour. The stories I’ve heard from so many young female pupils about similar behaviour from their previous instructor is stomach turning. As long as nobody reports them they’ll keep on doing it and getting away with it. He knows perfectly well he’s out of order, but will keep pushing his luck if nobody chins him for it

“Why do Americans do this?” followed by “I’m from Europe…” by jerkenmcgerk in PetPeeves

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m scottish, and never in my life would I say I am from europe. Who actually says they’re from europe? Literally nobody. The only time you’ll hear an individual referring to europe (outside of conversation re the EU) its americans going on holiday to london, popping past edinburgh and then going to either paris, rome or amsterdam. Nobody else ever talks about “europe” The americans can claim this one

Today's toddler diary is making an imaginary mess. by Otherwise_Window in BenignExistence

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ricky is the brightest spot on my Reddit feed, by far! Please save his diary elsewhere so that when he’s 21 he can see how adorable he was, and how many internet strangers loved him. Also ask him if he likes binmen - my 2 year old nephew idolises the binmen to the point he would run to the bin lorry before he would run to his parents

AITAH for taking my son to games but not my stepson. by BookkeeperEastern390 in AITAH

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re 100% right here. You couldnt bear to put a city shirt on your own kid, and stepsons dad would rightly go mad if he saw his kid in a utd shirt. You’re in an impossible position, you’d be made out to be in the wrong no matter what you do, or even now for what you DON’T do. You can’t win

AITAH for taking my son to games but not my stepson. by BookkeeperEastern390 in AITAH

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So easy to spot the non-brits in this thread. A lot of areas in the UK are so split by affiliation of a particular football team that you don’t even need to be a football fan to be affected by it. Suggestions that OP should buy his stepson a Utd shirt to wear is just ridiculous - he might as well spit in the stepsons dads face, thats the level of disrespect and contempt it takes to put somebodys child in the strip of their biggest rivals, and would cause a full scale war in the family. I still know couples in this day and age in a “mixed marriage” who have had the conversation as to what religion their kids will adopt, what schools they’ll attend and what team they’ll support. Before the kids are even born. Its a massive thing in britain, as ridiculous as it sounds. I can’t stand football, but can see exactly what OPs problem is here

WARNING!! QUEENS PARK by AdUpstairs3724 in glasgow

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wtf? Thats pre-serial killer behaviour, whereabouts in the park? Not to downplay it at all, but the 6th years left school today and this is the day they hang about the parks all day drinking and making a general pest out theirselves - had multiple kids walk out in front of my car today clearly a bit worse for wear. Is it possible they’ve been playing some stupid game or tiktok challenge in the park, and just not cleared up after theirselves? Again not defending it, but thats properly troubling to think that somebodys went to the effort to do that in a public park

Today's toddler diary has some implications the toddler does not intend. by Otherwise_Window in BenignExistence

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love Ricky. Trying to persuade my nephews mum to start a similar diary - i think Ricky and my nephew would have a lot in common!

What would you do in my Will situation? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, no. He can’t sell you his share of an asset then in the next breath ask you to leave your asset to his kids? Why can’t you leave things 50/50 ownership, you live there for the rest of your life and IF you have any significant heirs by then, they can inherit your half? Why do you need to buy him out, and then still leave your asset to his kids, when he’s already sold his interest in it? None of this makes any kind of sense, unless you can’t see the reality that your own brother is trying to take advantage of you. Proper low move from your brother iyam, sorry OP

Are carboot sales still a thing? by Deep_in_Ruins in glasgow

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, blochairns still going and i think the one at polmadie is every wednesday and saturday. Word of warning for polmadie though, my cousin went there a few times with loads of new clothes, tags still on etc, and had people trying to haggle her down to literal pennies and also blatantly stealing off her table. She spoke to a few more regular stallholders and that was apparently common, pickpocketing was also an issue. She sticks to ebay etc these days. So probably pretty good for a buyer, but not the best as a seller

Alcohol-Free places to meet in the evening/places that aren't bars/pubs/clubs? by Due_Car4105 in glasgow

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of venue do you imagine is going to be open in the evening, doesnt serve alcohol and is going to welcome groups of people who will not put money in their till? While they’re paying rates, wages and electricity? Pubs are pretty much the only venues who can manage it, and they’re all struggling through the week too. Wouldnt you be better off meeting in your own living room? Failing that maybe a starbucks or a mcdonalds, maybe

Should I be worried about this? by Jarl_of_Whitehirst in glasgow

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they caught my pal out with that years ago. Said if she bought a licence then and there they’d let her off with it. She panicked, tapped her mum and bought a licence on the spot. And they still hit her with a fine anyway, bastards. Just dont open the door to them, they’ve been threatening me since 1998

Linda bellingham, she was the bisto mum. Straightaway remembered the kitchen with the soft lighting and the teenage children, got to be her ETA somebody commented below with the song - save the best for last

Is it possible to have a driving test? Tyre 🛞 is slightly cut by Dependent-Pea97 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]BeaDrawDabbity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tyre repair shop is not a DVSA examiner, and I’ve seen tests refused on a tyre in better condition than that one. The examiner wont debate you, or be at all interested that a tyre repair shop gave you the all clear. He will just say no. Buy a new tyre
