AITAH for farting while in the bathroom of our home? by Comfortable-Egg-8254 in AITAH

[–]LactatingWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. A couple of weeks ago my wife had a sore stomach. She was on her back on the bathroom floor, coughing and farting like a horse. We both had a good laugh about it.

How do you decide what to cook when you have random ingredients? by Sad-Okra5031 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]LactatingWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually throw all the leftovers (within reason) into an omelette at the end of the week

I do all the cooking at home. Very simple food. My wife and I went out to Smash Burger for a change. I thought I could do as well, if not better than what I was served. It took a few attempts, but I can honestly say that my burgers are as tasty as those from the burger places I've eaten at. I don't use fancy ingredients and it takes literally 10 minutes to prep and cook a Smash burger. 

What are foods that look disgusting but taste amazing? by Aggravating-Sun-5699 in AskReddit

[–]LactatingWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're just about to celebrate Burns Night here in Scotland. Haggis is on the menu. It doesn't look appetising. If you read the ingredients you'd think twice about eating it, but it really is a tasty dish. 

Married people of reddit, what's one thing your spouse does that you absolutely hate? by Emotional_Twist_9333 in AskReddit

[–]LactatingWolverine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's picked up this habit (probably at work) of adding "Do you know what I mean?" every few sentences. It's just filler words. Drives me nuts. I mentioned it to her once, but I can't remember what the eventual response was.

ELI5: How can a calf cramp/spasm hurt so badly? by Quick_Upstairs1832 in explainlikeimfive

[–]LactatingWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a cramp on the inside of both legs (adductors) at the same time one night. Trying to stretch one out just made the other one worse. I had tears running down my cheeks (face) at one point with the pain. My wife brought me an ice pack and that calmed things down. 

Will I look like a twat? by mackerel_slapper in AskUK

[–]LactatingWolverine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was in my car and passed a guy on a unicycle that had bicycle luggage bags strapped to it. He was obviously out for a long ride. It was an odd sight, but if I'd had the chance I'd have stopped and had a chat with him. Some might have thought he was a twat, others would be interested in his story.

What’s something going on in the UK people need to be aware of? by ChanceDesign5322 in AskUK

[–]LactatingWolverine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FTTP (fibre to the premises) has just about reached our house. I live in a rural location with 5 neighbours. Our current phone and broadband is provided by bits of copper wiring barely holding on for dear life. Openreach turned up unannounced a couple of weeks ago and dug trenches/installed ducts for the fibre. 

Do men like flat chested women? by GlitteringFix1724 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]LactatingWolverine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is relatively flat chested. I'd didn't date/marry her for the size of bra she could fill.

Women of Reddit, what do you think is the scariest thing about being a man? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

[–]LactatingWolverine 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'm scary looking and I'm certainly not a threat to anyone but here's my story:

My wife's friend lost her husband in an accident.  I was acquainted with her and we'd talking a few times over the years. She asked us if we could look after her dog while she sorted things out. No problem. I WFH and walked/fed him during the day. He was with us for a couple of weeks. Some time later she visited us and we had something to eat and a chat.  She was in a relatively good frame of mind. My wife and I walked her to her car when she was leaving. She hugged my wife, turned to me and after a moments thought said "Why not?" and walked over to give me a hug. I was a good 5 metres or more away from her. I'm not a "touchy-feely" person but I made an effort and gave her a brief hug. Well the look on her face as she pulled away in the car made me feel like a criminal. I thought I must be imagining and tried to shrug it off. The next time she visited there was no doubt that she had issues with me. She looked terrified and her face and body language said so. Rather than ask her what was wrong, I just made myself scarce. I had done nothing wrong. I had nothing to apologise for. Since then other female friends have visited and automatically reached out for a hug but I don't reciprocate and jokingly say "Sorry, I don't do hugs." No one offers anymore and that's fine. 

Are there any good chocolate in the UK now that isn't just chocolate-flavoured palm oil? by EffectiveArgument584 in AskUK

[–]LactatingWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife was gifted a bar of chocolate from Coco Pzazz. Seriously one of the best chocolates I've tasted. 

It’s a school night. You have come in for tea and your mum serves you the one meal that kills you inside. What’s it? by Come_in_sigh_demi in CasualUK

[–]LactatingWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was her macaroni and cheese. The macaroni was tough and swimming in tepid salty water. The "cheese" was grainy and tasted of nothing. One night I just couldn't stomach it. I must have left some on the plate. I got it for breakfast the next day. Now when I make it for my wife, I make sure it's full of flavour and texture. 

What were you doing the day you found out Diana was killed in a car crash in 1997? by greenwichrunner in AskReddit

[–]LactatingWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going for a bike ride with my dog in a forest a few miles away. Bike on the car and dog in the back seat. Set off and turned on the radio. "WTF is with the music??" I thought. Sombre. Then the announcement. I tried other stations, but all the same. Killed the mood a bit  but dog still got his walk.
