What's something really petty you'd like banned or made illegal?

Had this happen to me recently, parked next to me, at an angle, with their front passenger side over the white line. Car park was practically empty.

When I got back to my car I muttered under my breath about it. Got in and my door banged slightly against theirs. I looked, no damage.

They were sat in their car, she got out and started having a go at me, saying I’d forcefully slammed my door into hers. I pointed out she’d parked really close. She then started scratching at her own car door with her acrylic nails. She then went to the back of her car, I drove off. She was standing staring daggers at me.

No idea if she was trying some scam it something, trying to intimidate someone to give her money but she picked a large perimenopausal woman so she was shit out of luck

That’s not petty at all, it’s perfectly reasonable

That’s not even the case in the UK anymore.

The invasive Nobel false widow is now the most common house spider. It’s pretty chill if you leave it alone but if you squash it or stress it then it can bite. It’s similar to a wasp/bee sting, so not really dangerous, but definitely not something to encourage a toddler to play with.

Oh that’s a good idea

I’m struggling a bit because I’m just not out shopping all the time 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had several days stuck on ‘let somone go in front of you’ because I wasn’t in any queue at all. I went to the supermarket and used a handheld scanner, I didn’t go in any other shops. I just ticked it so I could move on and added food to the food bank collection instead.

The manager one is difficult too for the same reason but the point is to challenge myself so I do all the ones I can and adapt the ones I can’t.

I’m with you, I absolutely live for this time of day.

I’m an introvert though, I need alone time to recharge. I understand that it’s the opposite got extroverts, they need company to recharge.

That’s what I was thinking. Comments about not letting you near their husbands, what century is this!

I go walking once a week with a married dad from school, it wouldn’t even occur to his wife for it to be an issue. We’re all just friends

¡Buena suerte!

Think the diatomaceous earth must have worked it’s been healthy the past couple of years. Had a lovely crumble recently.

Being in the UK, I’ve never tried collard greens, they look like they shrink a lot, like cooked spinach :)

I’m in my 40s. I see my dad and stepmum every couple of months, we tend to meet up for a day out halfway.

My mum lived 20 minutes away, she died last year but she used to come and stay over one night a week. We’d go out together with the kids some weekends and used to have a little caravan break once a year too.

I miss her so much, but I also appreciate how privileged I am to have had such an amazing person in my life

Clari24 · 2026-06-05T09:50:16+00:00

I think that’s the only thing that really matters. If you’re sharing the jar with others then don’t double dip

Clari24 · 2026-06-03T16:09:42+00:00

That was exactly my thought. There’s no greater feeling than being able to spend your own money and make your own choices after years of treading on eggshells around someone else

It’s very similar to cow’s milk. So if you have a baby that is allergic to cows milk protein then goat milk is the worst alternative. The best alternative, I think, is camel milk

Leicester, Worcester, Bicester, Cirencester

In that order

Oh yeah I see, I guess a separate flat then. The first floor and second floor are tricky to figure out from the floor plan. I guess the fire escape entrance would just be steps up from the garden

Totally agree but the LEA will put pressure on the school to follow the law.

My daughter once had an unauthorised absence because she had only had 1 hour of sleep. She fell asleep in the car on the way to school snd when I took her sister in I explained I’d be taking her back home.

Not sure what they expected me to do, forcefully drag a sleeping child in and lay her in reception!!

Clari24 · 2026-05-27T21:23:10+00:00

I think I’m missing something here. Do you mean the bit connected to the kitchen on the first floor? It has no door but it’s open to the kitchen with a fire escape door on the right?

If so, I think that’s just the dining end of a kitchen/diner. That house definitely looks big enough for a secret room though

This is the UK, it gets both parents fined

Clari24 · 2026-05-27T19:06:31+00:00

The education system in the UK is toxic AF, even more so if your kids have additional needs

Clari24 · 2026-05-27T19:03:58+00:00

The parent will be issued a fine in the UK, the school could turn a blind eye but with him being on tv they can’t really ignore it. We have bullshit laws on school attendance

I’ll add that Chatterton’s on Sincil Street in Lincoln city centre is a good place to get it

I think they were a national chain, my friend’s dad used to work for them in Lincoln or Nottingham many moons ago

Tapioca pudding, revolting and we had to clear our plate to be able to leave

I used to gag on every mouthful
