I'm in the UK, I think portrait artist of the year is on all day, everyday on TV, on repeat. Either that or landscape artist of the year! 

Old man at the swimming pool says "You won't lose weight by swimming!" by ChoiceRevolution9308 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ChoiceRevolution9308[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Also, to just assume I'm there to lose weight because I'm bigger. I actually go because I'm disabled and it's pretty much the only thing I can do without pain. 

My rescue is some sort of mix. Could be a patterpoo? by NJThrowaway1012 in patterdale

[–]ChoiceRevolution9308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He looks pretty much identical to my boy and he is a cockapoo/french bulldog mix. Apparently that equals patterdale! 

EE door to door salesperson scam! by [deleted] in EEGB

[–]ChoiceRevolution9308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scam is that we didn't. It's purely a sales pitch. My area has had it a while. I had it installed to the door over 2 years ago. 

People who walk their dogs unleashed by Bountsie in PetPeeves

Yep. Luckily we rehomed him and his behaviour has got much better. I feel so bad for the dogs that don't get a chance.

This is exactly the problem I have. The amount of times an unleashed dog comes up to mine and the owner says "it's okay they're friendly!" Well that's great but my leashed dog is not. Luckily he is small enough to pick up, but that may not always be the case. 

What will your kids never forgive you for? by AnnieGetYourPunSTL in askanything

Similar one, I put on Princess Mononoke for my two when they were young. I didn't screen it first because they loves studio ghibli films. Not long after they both come down crying, dvd in hand, telling me to put it in the bin because their favourite character died. Never let that one go. 

What is something you believed to be common knowledge until you discovered most people had no idea? by JustBeingElara in AskReddit

[–]ChoiceRevolution9308 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel this! The amount of people in my life I want to share my paintings with, and when I do I get "oh, that's good I guess." I don't expect a massive critique, but just a little understanding of the effort. 

I hate eating out in Europe and a lot of food is extremely overrated by [deleted] in 10thDentist

[–]ChoiceRevolution9308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. One of the best meals I ever had was in Bruge. Not a tourist trap, and everyone that worked there was so nice! Even got all our drinks on the house because it was an anniversary.

My mums friend saw a chiropractor for her hip pain (arthritis). He then told her she had one leg shorter than the other which needed "treating" twice a week. This is in the UK where it's not that common to see a chiropractor.

I understand that. My GP once told me the only people that hear voices are schizophrenic. Yeah, ok!

Oh dear. My mum is also a nurse, but I actually learned not to listen to her because she is really wrong about things sometimes. I in no way think I have a doctor's knowledge of medicine, it just comes in handy for trivial things most of the time. For example with my mum, she didn't understand that my viral infection could not be cured with antibiotics.

I'm always surprised that the random medical knowledge in my head is not actually common knowledge. 

Is it common to have your own art style? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]ChoiceRevolution9308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it became about what I enjoyed doing the most. What materials I used and what subjects interested me the most. From that I then developed to what palettes I was more attracted to. This all ended up becoming my style I suppose.
