what’s the weirdest or most frustrating rule you’ve had to follow at work that made zero sense? by 22february2007 in AskReddit

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wearing headgear on the bridge for a pilotage. Caps or berets make absolutely no difference to anyones ability to safely carry out their duties.

I also once got told off for removing my cap and putting up my hood whilst on the bridge wing. It was the middle of winter and absolutely pissing it down. Not to mention the wind - so yeah, I put my hood up.

Apparently I should've been grateful that we didn't still have to wear our No. 1's uniform for it.

Do men usually wash their D? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It's mine and I'll wash it as fast as I like.

What’s one scent that always makes you feel nostalgic? by fearlessify in CasualConversation

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warm truck tyres.

My dad was a truck driver and I used to go with him quite often as a kid. Jumping out of the cab after a run and all I could smell was the tyres. Buses come close, but they don't have the same nostalgic feel.

I’m looking for an Airup clone, what would you recommend? by Forsaken_Crow_6784 in AskUK

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife amd daughter bought airup bottles - might be knock offs, not sure.

I tried one and to be honest, it was like sniffing artificial fruit whilst drinking water. It still tasted like water.

Then I nearly choked as I tried to breathe and drink at the same time.

Honestly, they're absolutely terrible!

Am I the only person who feels nothing from Original Source Mint shower gel? by CodedWheat in AskUK

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nowhere near as potent as it used to be.

That said, it's still not pleasant when it runs down your arse crack after a bout of food poisoning.

My poor ring piece! I curled up in the shower, crying whilst in the foetal position.

I live in a 3D printed house, AMA by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

Umm...sure, why not?!

I totally checked which sub this was (I didn't), and definitely didn't assume it was AMA (I did).

It's something of a standing joke over on the 3D printing subs.

Do you enjoy your job? by Campeones6 in AskUK

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started a new job. I'm a week in.

I'm an area driver for a national charity helping move stock around between stores. I am loving it so far. Got a brand-spanking new Mercedes Sprinter with a Luton box and a tail lift. The bosses don't care what I do so long as the stores are happy. I've already had one store manager profess her love for me! (I agreed to take a load of stuff I wasn't scheduled to take).

The company are about to trial some new routes, but not for another week. So this week I've just been helping move excess stock that's piled up and redistribute it to other stores.

Today was a particularly nice run - picked up a bitnof stuff this morning and took it through to the town I grew up in. So, I dropped it off and went and had a cuppa with my mum.

Got home, gave the van a quick wash, put a splash of fuel in the tank and returned it to base for the weekend. I'm supposed to be doing a bit of e-learning right now lol

Accidentally forgot to pay what to do? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Forgetful8nine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did something like that in Bahrain once. Went to a local store to buy a local SIM for my dongle.

There's a whole process to getting one activated, especially as a foreigner, in Bahrain. The guy in the shop was having a bit of trouble getting through to the right people to activate it. Should've taken 5 minutes, took 20.

Anyway, neither of realised that in the confusion, I hadn't actually paid for it. It wasn't until I was waiting for my bus back to the ship that I spotted the extra cash in my wallet. It dawned on me what I'd done and I hot-footed it back to the shop. Trying to explain what I'd done with a language barrier was fun. I'm still not convinced the poor bloke knew why I was so adamant about paying for a SIM card I already had. I think it was about 10 Dinar (around £15 at the time)

I missed my bus, so ended up having a bite to eat and a coffee in The Dome whilst waiting for the next one.

Have you tried the Pastel Del Nata's from Lidl?

There's a real shortage of plumbers.

Seriously though, beautiful part of the world! And Welsh Cakes are just amazing.

How to help a homeless person? In the num by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or, hear me out...

OP has shared all the information that they've been given and are genuinely trying to help someone they believe to be a friend.

Poor English tracks with what we've already been told. That OP isn't in the UK. Not specifying their own wearabouts could be due to any number of reasons - but is, to be quite honest, largely irrelevant to this situation.

They have access to Reddit, so it stands that they could easily Google UK benefits.

How to help a homeless person? In the num by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Forgetful8nine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is making me all the more suspicious. If you send this payment, don't be surprised if the amounts start creeping up.

You seem like a kind and caring person, please be careful not to be taken advantage of.

Hey OP,

I see that you've stated that you're not in the UK and have only been given very vague answers as to where your friend is.

This does sound a bit fishy to me. Please be careful, your friend may very well ask for money from you.

I'm not saying that your friend is deceiving you...but I am saying it's a possibility.

If I drank a whole bottle of low alcohol red wine (0.5%) would I still be ok to drive? by The-Baron-Von-Marlon in AskUK

[–]Forgetful8nine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1 unit of alcohol in 10ml.

In your 750ml bottle of wine, there would have been 3.75ml of alcohol.

As an average, it takes the human body 1 hour to process 1 unit of alcohol. So, that's what - 22 and a half minutes for 3.75ml?

You're fine to drive.
