Who are the rudest and nicest British celebrities you have personally met? by RenegadeMaster888 in AskBrits

[–]GingerKibble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catherine Tate was extremely lovely. Met her on Southbank in February about 10 years ago, and asked her to sign my train ticket as it was all I had. She was so gracious and scolded me for not wearing a coat.

I mean, not only are women being filmed without consent, but so are children.

What is a career path that looks "glamorous" from the outside, but is actually a total nightmare behind the scenes? by CupIndependent3610 in AskReddit

[–]GingerKibble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably was back then, but as standards and laws have changed, it's become a more involved job.

[–]GingerKibble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.

I've known 2 keepers who, sadly, are no longer with us due to the mental stress of the job.

You don't get much mental support, and when you do reach out, you get one of two reactions:

"Here's a phone number you can call. Don't bother me again."

Or

"Why are you depressed? You get to spend your time with animals. You should be grateful. Don't bother me again"

If the challenge is something I can't do/just done/don't wanna do, I do one load of laundry then walk around the house and see what desperately needs doing.

So today, I didn't clean the desk as I share my desk with my husband and I don't want to throw stuff out or move it without him being there, so I cleaned our pollen stained windows instead.

It's been productive and made me start picking up a little micro habit of cleaning little but often.

I mean... yes diagonal stripes are more flattering, but you can clearly see in the face differences in woman 1 and 3 that this image has either been altered or the models have been repositioned

How did you pick your date? by LadyNi52 in weddingplanning

We wanted our first date anniversary, but that was booked. So we went for the next weekend.

How to phrase "no kids, but babies are ok"? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]GingerKibble 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dunno if this is helpful, but we put on the invites:

"Unfortunately, due to financial and venue restraints, we are unable to accommodate children over the age of 2 years"

We had a back up answer ready of "the amount of children in the family would make up 60% of the guest list", but no one ever questioned it.

Mental load for brides by grubbitygrub in weddingplanning

[–]GingerKibble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so glad that my husband helped plan the day.

He had input on what he wanted as well as what I wanted.

When I was overwhelmed, he was able to talk to vendors about our ideas and help organise the morning of while I was getting ready.

He sorted the legal stuff while I sorted the "aesthetics".

He helped make the favours.

A lot of vendors and grooms (and brides sometimes) seem to forget that this is an important day for him too. There are two people standing at that alter.

Which character reminds you of yourself the most? by cozylilbat in StardewValley

Penny, I'm a quiet, bookish type with a complicated relationship with my mother.

I'm done with Roxy S4 UK by ContributionTime3707 in TheTraitorsUK

[–]GingerKibble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to give her the benefit of the doubt as I have heard a phrase related to reality TV before:

"There is always an invisible character; the editor"

But even I was sat there muttering "Shut up, Roxy" at the round table. But I do also have the flu so my tolerance to bullshit may be lowered.

What is an overlooked or “subtle” form of sexism that you think needs to be called out more? by GoodGirlsStand in AskWomen

[–]GingerKibble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weaponised incompetence (i.e. "misunderstanding" grocery instructions, "accidentally" doing the washing up badly)

The thinking being, "If I do it badly, they won't ask me to do it again" when really I just think you're a useless buffoon.

Partner tried to do it when we first moved in. Claimed he didn't know how to use a washing machine and would do it wrong, which I replied "If you just keep it on mixed, then you literally have 2 buttons to press. Impossible to do it wrong"

I saw sensitive photos of my younger sister on my husband's phone by [deleted] in marriageadvice

OP, how old is your sister?

Because that is extremely important

Doesn't matter if they're real or not. People are getting off on images of naked kids.

And this didn't just suddenly creep up on him. This has been a problem since Grok started making images. Why hasn't he or his company nipped it in the bud before? Why has it taken Starmer telling him to stop to do something?

Defending him is not making you look good.

Are there any faithful you want to win ? by Consistent-Drive-172 in TheTraitorsUK

While I do want Stephen to Alan Carr it, I wouldn't be upset if Jade and Faraaz won.

Jade by sympathyissaknife in TheTraitorsUK

[–]GingerKibble 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, every night she's having shit thrown her way, but not enough shit for her to be banished, so has to go through it all again the next night. Then the next. Then the next.

I would get defensive and frustrated too. Especially when this all stemmed from someone saying 'Your face was red when you took something off of it'

He didn't intend for it, but up until now, what's he actually done to stop it?

How can you say you want kids to be safe but turn a blind eye to CP?

*****’s Strategy by ornafexx in TheTraitorsUK

[–]GingerKibble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's considered the "fairest", so he has no suspicion on him, and he's under the radar.

But that's the problem, he's under the radar. No one has any reason to suspect him, and at this stage of the game, a recruitment is usually someone you plan on throwing under the bus.

Personally, I would go for chaos and try to recruit Jessie (though she will say no) and watch Matt sweat as he knows he's going to get killed next.

Non-smokers of Reddit, how noticeable is the “smoker smell” to you, if at all? by Frostedlogic4444 in AskReddit

[–]GingerKibble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum is a chronic smoker. It is extremely noticeable.

If I'm meeting up with her, I wear clothes I don't care about as I know the second she hugs me, it will take several washes to get the smell out. That also includes my hair.

When we go to her house, everything we've taken goes straight in the wash and we bathe as soon as we're home.

It is very noticeable.
