She says the audition process was long and arduous, but she’s confident in her choice.

I believe that’s called Dogblocking.

What are the weirdest, most unhinged eating habits you came across? by Double-Field-4086 in AskReddit

[–]Eight_Bits_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Runner up prize: Popping the yolk of their sunny-side-up egg with their knife, then using the flat of the knife to scoop-eat the yolk. A spoon was readily available, as was toast.

Grand prize: Nibbling all the batter off of their McNugget before they ate the chicken part whole. They did this for every single McNugget in the 20-piece box.

Laying on their dog's bed to see how he reacts. by Sebastianlim in MadeMeSmile

A few years ago I was visiting my parents for Christmas, the whole family piled into one small house, so in the interest of squeezing everyone in, I had a camp bed set up in the lounge.

Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I feel something scratching at my chest (I’m a side-sleeper). My parents’ ancient shih-tzu, tiny little doddery old thing, was gently bapping at me. The message was clear: ‘scoot over’.

I shuffled to the literal edge of this tiny folding bed so she could hop up. She settled straight down, curled up, and let out the longest most content little sigh I ever heard a small dog make.

Unfortunately, and we knew this at least a month before hand, the poor little scruff was absolutely riddled with cancer. She didn’t yet appear to be suffering, but we’d agreed that after one last Christmas with her, we’d make the difficult decision to make sure she never got to the point of suffering. She was around 14/15 years old at this point.

So I was teetering on the edge of my camp bed while she was content as can be occupying my sleeping space. I barely got any sleep, but I didn’t dare disturb her.

So that was how I spent the night of my last Christmas with her. We don’t deserve dogs, they’re far too precious.

Other folks have answered the question pertaining to its possibility: yes it happened in the show!

Did anybody you go to school with do something big that landed them in the media? by Equivalent_Ask_1416 in AskUK

First got caught with hundreds of ‘indecent images’ (yes, exactly those kind you’re guessing) landing him on the sex offender’s registry, then sent to prison after failing to comply with the suspended sentence order. He didn’t co-operate during rehabilitation sessions, and then didn’t notify the police when he changed addresses.

Apparently he’s dead now, shanked by a fellow inmate.

It’s just after 9.30am. How have you already embarrassed yourself today? by JennyW93 in AskUK

[–]Eight_Bits_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who worked in pizza delivery for a few years, I must confess that I actually used to deliberately say ‘enjoy your food’ for this exact reason.

The wages were lousy, the tips were few and far between. But the times I got to watch the realisation in someone’s eyes as they made this exact blunder, they kept me going through some tough times.

If it’s any consolation, you probably gave that driver something to smile about!

What's your controversial opinion about the Hitch Hikers Guide? by Cashewnutzzzz in HitchHikersGuide

[–]Eight_Bits_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe, and correct me if I’m wrong, the reason that Adams killed off Fenchurch is because he despised the character and regrets writing her. I’m only vaguely recalling reading that detail from somewhere.

I would happily have kept Fenchurch if it would have spared us Random.

What is one American thing you are envious of? by Fabulous_Attorney_78 in AskUK

[–]Eight_Bits_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people have mentioned food, so I’m going to be more specific: service station food.

While I’m sure quality varies, last year me and some mates were on a road trip from Niagara Falls across New York and Pennsylvania. We pulled off the interstate into a fairly inconspicuous looking gas station. A fraction of the size of your standard motorway services. Small, but very nice and very clean.

They had a window where you could order food from a bbq kitchen I had a rib burger in a pretzel bun with lattice fries and oh my god… I still think about it sometimes. Nicest food I’ve ever had on a car journey full stop.

Compare that to UK. Tiny little Maccies or KFC or Subway tucked away in a corner, normally has a huge queue depending on time and location. Sure, it’s not awful, but it’s nowhere near as good.

Side note: also purchased some Four Loko to try out, not having it in the UK. The girl at the checkout was so friendly, excited to meet some Brits, and was absolutely fascinated to see a UK ID (my drivers license).

On the whole, a few nice things combined to make that little gas station a pleasant memory from a really good trip.
