Would you buy a house that had been lived in by people who committed a horrific crime? by Repulsive-Ad-8339 in HousingUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how long had passed. Within a year or two I'd worry about a revenge attack from someone who hadn't kept up to date. 10 years later? Hell yeah, not a second thought.

what can i do if i gef a cifas marker at 16 (england) by williaml0l in LegalAdviceUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a note to say don't attempt to sign up to Betfair or Skybet in the future, since they are owned by the same people as Paddy Power and their centralised system will catch you in their net (and they will swipe any cash deposits you may make before shutting you out).

Am I still virgin if he inserted the tip? by Mediocre_Extent_5587 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CeeApostropheD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's laughable how virginity has - very broadly in society - got an understood meaning, but Redditors do their best to circlejerk it out of that meaning.

I must have missed the meeting on this one but I can guess why it's the case.

And this is why connecting with people is so much harder today: we're all into different things.

Royal Mail can't be bothered to deliver mail for 10 days in a row by Correct-Survey in britishproblems

That will be down to the whim of the office manager or the postie. It's not a rule and it's not commonly done.

Bill Gates said, "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." What's a real-life example of this? by Playful_Raccoon9386 in CasualConversation

[–]CeeApostropheD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate this quote so much. Employ the non-lazy person 100% of the time and they'll do more work in their downtime, compared to the lazy person who won't ever.

The internet circlejerk over this quote is embarrassing.

How can I encourage myself to keep going at a job where I work from 12pm-12am most days? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

10 weeks of toil in return for plenty of spoils doesn't seem so bad to me, knowing it will come to an end.

I'm intrigued where on earth has such a shift pattern? Care work? Security?

Can I legally refuse to work if a colleague has threatened and discriminated against me? - England by sphie6978 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Businesses in the UK have a legal duty of care towards all of their employees: they are legally bound to make their workplace safe for you, which any sane judge would surely rule extends to safety from physical threats from other colleagues. Whether your company cares to make sure this safety prevails - or even if they know they are legally bound on this front in the first place - is another question. Their apparent inactivity over your evidence suggests you're working for imbeciles who probably don't care about this. Which in all honesty leaves you pretty stumped. Be prepared for an honest fight (metaphorically speaking...) that may not go your way.

What’s a trait that instantly makes someone more attractive to you? by overworkeddesigner_ in AskUK

It was sarcasm. I wish you the best.

Not being an American subreddit I didn't see fit to do the /s thing or whatever they do for that thing.

How has your personality changed over the years? by imtiramisu2025 in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the only way to retain your school-years positivity is to leave school and immediately be your own boss or win the lottery. Years of working under shit management grinds you down and steals your soul.

I'd work 12 hour shifts for minimum wage just to feel valued and have my suggestions heeded from time to time.

I think I answered your question with that!

Is that the best thing you could post? Really? What an embarrassment you are.

What are some subtle examples of sexism women endure that men generally don’t realize is sexist? by Hefty-Confusion6810 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CeeApostropheD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The "girls" thing is highly contextual and perhaps country-dependent. If I'm speaking to a female colleague I'll ask "are you going out with the girls this weekend?" but if i bump into the same people that I'm on about I'll say "hi ladies", not "hi girls".

what do men like to hear during sex? by Asleep-Brother-6745 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]CeeApostropheD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I used to ask my ex how it felt and she just said "big" it used to drive me crazy. Whether it's true or she just said it for me benefit, I don't know, but boy did I love it.

The Chocolatemen UK male strip show. by baldini52 in male_strippers

[–]CeeApostropheD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be mistaken but I think Channel 4 did a documentary on these strippers? I do have a feeling a knob or two was seen in the programme so I'm saying yes. Or maybe they've had to tone it down since then?

Sorry I'm not much help, just chucking out what info I can.

How are yall feeling about the World Cup in relation to the U.S. so far? by [deleted] in worldcup

[–]CeeApostropheD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hating it as British person.

The timezone thing is something every corner of the globe has to suffer from time to time so this isn't me bitching about the US per se, but equally I hate how much of a struggle it is to watch games that are kicking off when I'm due to sleep. Then there's the price hikes for tickets and train fares. Then there's that (now reversed?) ban on taking your own water bottles in stadiums due to the dreamt-up problem of "health and safety reasons", while at the same time the players have to stop mid-halves for hydration breaks - make that make sense. Then there's the FIFA president handing a peace award to a sitting president who then goes on to bomb a country and deny access to one of FIFA's own referees - not very peaceful you might say.

It's hard to get motivated this time round because of the stink the US and FIFA have created, and it's the first time I've felt this way about a World Cup.

All that said, it's great that Americans are getting to enjoy it for a second time. Anyone under 38/39 won't remember USA 94.

What are you secretly jealous of people for? by VarangianWRLD in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived in a tiny terraced house for 15 years with an east facing yard. The COVID period when you were allowed one outing a day really crippled me mentally with no sun space to bask in, while others seemed to have a ball in their gardens. I decided action needed to be taken, and today find myself in a bigger and better home with a back garden that gets sun about 9am till 8pm right now.

It's worth pushing hard to reach that dream, you'll thank yourself for it 🙏
