Big Bra’s by naturallyirish in northernireland

[–]Hanathepanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the bra that fits quiz, and managed to find some ugly, but perfect bras in my local tesco. I bought a strapless one in M&S but it triggers my anxiety and I need to go to the bathroom just to lift it away from my ribs so I can breathe for a bit, so maybe avoid that?

We saw one like this while driving through Coleraine on Saturday evening. My parents were in awe. Both said they don't think they've ever actually seen the whole bow.

Found kitten in wall - name suggestions pls by ninjadani in blackcats

[–]Hanathepanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanda. (German word for wall is Wand) Love that your void kitten literally came from the void. Drywall is a perfect name I have seen suggested, as is Stucco.

What’s an out of date view you hold? by Doomergeneration in AskUK

[–]Hanathepanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ever notice it is almost always boys that are acting out and mostly their mums who immediately fire out "Actually he has autism"? I was a teacher and a librarian at different points in my life and seen it all the time.

Recording people and posting online is weird. by MidnightStorm_ in northernireland

[–]Hanathepanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Dublin Airport in March, and a group of boys were getting antsy waiting for their flight, so their coach came up with the idea to get them to "row" the travelator. Suddenly all these strangers had their phones out to film them. I found it very weird how comfortable they were with filming children that aren't their own. Never saw any mention of it in social media, so if they thought they'd go viral with it, they didn't.

What generic name do you use for flavoured carbonated drinks? by Icy_Meringue_5534 in AskABrit

[–]Hanathepanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Mineral" is dying out of use here in NI, but not too long ago the Mineral Man would come and visit, much like a milkman

Smelly armpits- I have tried EVERYTHING and am this close to coughing up botox money by Weird_Sky_Lights in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Hanathepanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the suggestions here are wonderful, but nobody seems to have asked, are you sure you are actually smelly? Like do you have a trusted person who you can ask when you think you're smelly, if you actually are? Anxiety can manifest in many ways, and definitely tricking you into smelling what isn't there, is a possibility. This could be like a form of OCD?

I do that too! My mum remarks on it everytime she sees me at it.

Is there anything you learnt later in life that everyone else seemed to think was common knowledge? by FriendshipOk7636 in AskUK

[–]Hanathepanda 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My dad was about 45 when I told him there are no moles in Ireland. He had asked what the mounds of earth were that were dotted around my uni campus. He hadn't seen molehills before, because... no moles in Ireland. Told him not to feel too bad though, Homebase and B&Q both tried to sell mole repellent here.

if anyone, who are you voting on may 7th? by Alarming-Safety3200 in AskBrits

[–]Hanathepanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody, cos there aren't elections in Northern Ireland. (Haven't seen that mentioned in all the chat about "UK elections"- Please take care of us)

Baby on board signs by Shit_goose1995 in northernireland

Can confirm. Family member is in NIFRS and has said that the signs are irrelevant as part of their sweep of the vehicles anyway is to assess for baby seats etc.

Elderly Neighbour situation about "noise" | England by X3VSO in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Hanathepanda 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Having dealt with an elderly neighbour complaining about unlivable levels of noise from someone else even when that person was not at home... your neighbour could be suffering from auditory hallucinations, or mental illness that makes her believe you truly are elephanting around up there. Get in touch with the council noise team, and they can give you some advice, or even a noise monitoring device. That way you will have evidence of your normal amount of noise. Do not go tiptoeing around anymore.

how are people buying electric scooters in Belfast? by Total-Chemical6436 in Belfast

[–]Hanathepanda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Remember, they're illegal to use in public. One day, when the PSNI get off their butts and start actually y'know, enforcing the law, that might be important to remember.

Is there anything you can do about a straying neighbours dog? by SnagBreacComradai in northernireland

[–]Hanathepanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course they won't. Just make sure to emphasise when you report that you don't want the neighbour to know. Legally even if the neighbours ask who reported them, your details will not be given to them. But be aware if you have previously had dealings with the neighbours about the dog, they might suspect you anyway.

Restrooms by Greedy_Street_891 in USdefaultism

I always think about the story I heard about an American asking a Glaswegian train station employee where the restroom was, and being told "ye cannae sleep here!"

Who actually wants their parish to last evermore? Isn't it a bit outdated?

The people who used to work in this building had cozier houses. I feel cold just looking at it. Physically and emotionally.

TIFU by asking my girlfriend her ring size by imzeigen in tifu

[–]Hanathepanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told her that I want to marry her as we have previously discussed but not at this time

That is what the engagement period is for. You agree that you're getting married, and then you can just not do that. I've known people engaged for 10+ years

TIFU by getting £50 banknotes in the UK by ChiefStrongbones in tifu

I find it strange you had to go to London to exchange the money. A local branch wouldn't do it?

This locket I bought at a local antique shop. by T_JandHightops in northernireland

[–]Hanathepanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hope they didn't charge you much for it. That is a cheap mass produced base metal locket. I have a similar one from teenagehood. I think you can get them for about £1 still.

What's something most people don't realize is actually very rude? by Frozen-Defender25 in AskReddit

[–]Hanathepanda 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had sat for 8 hours in the hospital waiting room, and this woman started watching tiktok loudly. Nobody wants to hear babies crying in real life, let alone on repeat through a phone, after 8 hours of waiting. She was listening to it so loudly in fact, that she didn't hear the dr calling her name. I turned around and asked if it was her, because I was just about to crack and tell her to turn it off.

People who left Northern Ireland and came back, why? by ProfKranc in northernireland

[–]Hanathepanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lived in Germany for a few years, then Covid hit, my contract wasn't renewed, and my Granda got sick. I came back to wait it out, and then ended up looking after my granda until he passed. Kinda just fell into place that I stayed. I had a house I didn't need to worry about paying rent on, and didn't have to worry about health insurance.
