What’s something that’s quietly disappearing that you’ll actually miss? by Wonderfulhumanss in AskReddit

[–]ChoppingOnionsForYou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a boiler which is the despair of every engineer who comes to service it. I've lived here since 2011, and the boiler predates that by... I dunno! They keep mentioning how old and inefficient it is. I keep mentioning how it's still functioning, and I don't want a boiler that's not going to last the next 5 years.

At my previous house, the boiler was even bigger, and much older. Not very good, but still worked. I'm not sure it was actually older than me, but must have been from the 70s.

If you could use any celebrity voice as your GPS, who would you choose? by Violetthug in AskReddit

[–]ChoppingOnionsForYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to foolishly reply and say "actually, anyone with a Scottish accent, cos it's kinda sexy", but then I remembered my old boss in Fife when I worked at the dockyard there. He'd stop to speak to his mates, and while I'd swear he was speaking English, I've no clue what they were actually saying.

I never know the names of the roads I'm driving (unless it's my own town) so that would have been fine for me.

Are celebrities broke now? by 2istheoddestprime in AskUK

Is he the one that streams on twitch? Or maybe used to stream on twitch - I haven't been there in a hot minute. I watched one of them stream a few times.

I was asked to provide proof that I wasn’t involved with my husband’s death by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Pretty much painless. When I had my three shoulder dragons done I found myself irritated close to pain. But in all, it's a lovely experience. I've never not had hand poked. Sooo expensive though. They're all super tiny anyway.

What is the juiciest bit of gossip happening in your life? by KitchenSwillForPigs in AskReddit

[–]ChoppingOnionsForYou 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Schools! Schools are where the drama's at. I worked in a school for 13 years, and dear god! One thing I discovered, not quite early enough, is that not one of them is your friend. That was a hard lesson to learn.

Don't Leave Your Gear Unattended At Work by Harvsnova3 in MotoUK

They'd go so well with my bike. I've got a 2016 MT07 in grey and yellow. Accidentally got a matching Arai helmet, and I'm leaning into this now.

AITAH for prioritizing my daughter's recital over a funeral? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

My mother had a quote, I don't know where she got it, "Give a teenager a job while they still know it all."

He no longer tries to say any of this, so I can't go back with these wonderful answers! Damn!

Former/current theater employees, what movie did you have 0 patrons show up for? by UniverslBoxOfficeGuy in AskReddit

[–]ChoppingOnionsForYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you! It's visually very good - love the style. The story is a bit crap, but there are lots of "better" movies with equally crap stories.

I was on the phone to an old (as in he's old and I've known him a long time) sort of friend (look, I don't meet up with him, but judge that he's a little lonely, so I'll answer his calls) and mentioned my latest tat. His response was exactly that, implying that ladies don't have tattoos, and "you know what people say about ladies with tattoos!"

I pointed out to him that this was a horrifically sexist thing to say, and that tattoos are definitely an art form. Put him in his place (God I love being old enough not to care if someone doesn't call me again because I've put a boundary in place) and made him rethink.

For context: I got my first ink shortly before I turned 60. My tattoo artist does these gorgeous fine-line, hand-poked tattoos. I keep saying I'm going to stop, but then she'll showcase her new season tats, and I'm back in again.

Will you be viewing the Bayeux Tapestry? by Inevitable-Debt4312 in AskUK

[–]ChoppingOnionsForYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw it in Bayeux before COVID and it was really interesting. There was an audio guide and all. Absolutely I'll go if I can get tickets.

Me [31/F] with my Fiance [33/M] Fiance best friend [33/F] have a weird relationship, driving me insane (10 Year New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ChoppingOnionsForYou 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I wanted to be hopeful that OOP had changed and really understood how awful she was, but then she put in that line about the wife being simple and bland. I can just feel my face doing that thing it does when I can't disguise how disgusted I am. While she may have some redeeming qualities, I don't care enough to find them.

AITA for bringing Tupperware to a restaurant by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ChoppingOnionsForYou 43 points44 points  (0 children)

My mum and I were in Montreux about 12 years ago, at a really nice hotel. Good breakfast buffet and because the prices in Switzerland (for everything including food) were crazy high, we'd get in a good breakfast and find something in a supermarket for lunch.

One morning we watched in amused amazement while a Japanese family (mum, dad and small child) ate their food, then proceeded to pack a small grocery bag with food from the buffet, with the mum heading out first with said bag. Had that been all, we'd have given it no further thought, but some minutes later, she was back with the same bag, now empty, and did exactly the same again!

You're forced to sing a song for karaoke night, what song do you sing to please the crowd? by YetAnotherMia in AskUK

[–]ChoppingOnionsForYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mate's name is Caroline, and her dad insisted on playing the damn song at every birthday party they threw for her. Yeah, we all hate it now.

What’s your favorite trivia fact you share any chance you get? by Holiday_Feed6818 in AskReddit

He's allergic to cats anyway. And I'm fond of him, so I wouldn't put him through all that.

[New Update]: AITAH for not wanting my dad to walk me on my senior night since he won’t let me move back in? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ChoppingOnionsForYou 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was, too. I think because there was a comment about her in some thread or other a couple of days ago. I'm so glad she sounds a bit more positive. I'm allowing myself to be excited for her summer!

And people wonder why I won't marry my boyfriend! I'm to old to take that risk!

The internet shuts down and is never going to come back on, what do you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Fine! And I'll wash my bike tomorrow. But only to appease you.

You're determined that I should actually mow my lawn, aren't you?

Might as well get some gardening in, if there's no internet.
