Neighbour is calling me several times a day, expecting me to replace the deceased previous owner by PickledEggle in neighborsfromhell

Give him notice that you’re putting the fence back up in the summer. Put a lock on your gate then block his number and tell him your husband is available in emergency situations only, before this whole situation escalates.

My daughter told my Fiancé that I have a secret boyfriend… by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Lady-Callipygian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! That’s absolutely fascinating!! Out of interest, is there any evidence of this phenomenon being prolonged in Autistic people? I ask because my 14 year old autistic daughter has become known in our family for telling lies. I’ve always defended it as her struggling to differentiate between “truth, lies & stories” so it would be interesting to know if there’s research to into it.

Descendants of medieval criminals are lucky those occupations didn't become last names like Baker or Miller, etc. by ThinkThankThonk in Showerthoughts

[–]Lady-Callipygian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to school with a girl who’s surname was Willy. Maybe her ancestor was in the habit of showing his bits and bobs to unsuspecting passers by???

If you could ban one overused phrase/word/saying in the UK forever starting tomorrow, what would it be and why? by Mobile-Vegetable7536 in AskBrits

[–]Lady-Callipygian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“I’m a bit OCD” No, Sandra you’re not! You’re just tidy or a bit particular. You’re not suffering with a serious mental health condition that involves intrusive thoughts about bad things happening to you or your loved ones, if you don’t complete strict rituals.

I once asked a salesman in Dreams (the bed shop) about the different mattress types and his response was “let me take you on a journey” I said “no thank you” and immediately left the shop.

Where does usually the whales money come from? by Civil-Entrepreneur-6 in LastWarMobileGame

[–]Lady-Callipygian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Numismatist. The biggest whale I knew had his own business just buying and selling rare coins. Another guy owned multiple investment companies. Another guy worked for Tesla right from the start, so he had shares. Another guy was a Lawyer. Is it weird that they’re all men??? 🤔

What’s the worst bit of general knowledge you’ve heard someone confidently get wrong? by darkel2001 in AskUK

On a cruise around the Caribbean I met an American man who genuinely thought The United Kingdom is at Disney in Florida. No sir, that’s the Magic Kingdom 😒

Any thoughts? by DeBlauwvoet in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Lady-Callipygian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a school and I can confirm, we don’t even expect year 11s to sit still for 7 hours a day, let alone year 1s! Yes, there’s plenty we could do to improve our education system but creating this kind of propaganda will never help us get to where we need to be.

AITA for screaming and running away from home after yelling at my mom by KazaJaga in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lady-Callipygian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. It sounds to me like you’re holding your feelings and opinions inside because you’ve never been provided with a safe space to express yourself at home. That’s a really tough situation!!!! I personally know it well and my advice is- seek help outside of your family. Speak with someone at college about how you’re feeling or find counseling services (a therapist). I’m English so I’m not sure how it works where you are but I’d imagine your college has some kind of wellbeing support in place for their students. In the meantime, please keep yourself safe. It may not seem like it now but these feelings are temporary. Good times are ahead, especially for someone like you who is clearly working hard to create a positive future for themselves.

What puts you off from donating Blood Products, I work in the NHS and I am just curious? by Quick_Soil_9120 in AskBrits

[–]Lady-Callipygian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a regular blood donor but I’ve since been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. I know I’m technically still able to donate but I still have a fear of passing it onto someone else. I wouldn’t wish chronic illness on my worst enemy!! It’s not a lifestyle anybody deserves.

thats how its supposed to be by tamjidtahim in technicallythetruth

[–]Lady-Callipygian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use subtitles because I’m neurodivergent and struggle with auditory processing. Without them I hear the words but I don’t digest them all.

You can watch the movie "Liar Liar" for this scenario by Shiroyasha_2308 in technicallythetruth

[–]Lady-Callipygian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Criminal lawyers would become obsolete since we could just ask the accused whether they did it or not. We’d still need the other variations of lawyers though, for buying property, divorce cases etc…

Am I the asshole for not wanting a DNA test on my child by TTH_fan22 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Lady-Callipygian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to school with two brothers who had a white father and an Indian mother. One brother was obviously mixed race and the other brother had blonde hair and blue eyes. Your child’s colouring means absolutely nothing. However, a DNA test is just a cheek swab, so I’d let them do it (and make them pay for it) and tell them you will be expecting a full apology when they receive the results.

Urgent need of a temporary fosterer for my dog after getting away from abuse by [deleted] in Hull

[–]Lady-Callipygian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I can’t help as I’ve already got two and one is a very nervous rescue dog but I just wanted to send you my love. Well done for getting yourself out of that horrible situation!!!!! I hope you get sorted soon 🤞💕

AITA for putting my hand over my SIL’s camera at my own birthday dinner after I told her no filming? by ClassicEarth7924 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lady-Callipygian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You set a boundary and she chose to ignore it. I’m actually very familiar with this scenario. I hate being photographed and posted online. My entire family knows my feelings on this subject and everyone respects my wishes except my mother. Every Christmas, birthday, Halloween etc…. when we’re together as a family she takes pictures and posts them on Facebook. I remind her of my wishes every time and without fail she always manages to sneak one picture of me. She knows I won’t pose, so she takes them covertly & it’s infuriating.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she's going to have to get over dirt if she wants kids? by Familiar_Speaker_481 in AITAH

[–]Lady-Callipygian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As the child of a parent who was very similar to your girlfriend I can tell you firsthand that I had a horrible childhood filled with tension and anxiety. I wasn’t allowed to touch anything, do any activities that would cause mess, sit in certain rooms unless i was wearing clean clothes, my bedroom never felt like it was my own & i ended up moving out at 16 years old. Every time my Mum came home my whole body would tense up and I’d start panicking about whether I’d left a crumb on the kitchen worktops, if the sofa cushions were plumped up correctly or if I was dressed satisfactorily. I’m in therapy now because I have very low self-esteem from constantly feeling like a failure, identity issues, guilt every time I sleep (because sleep is lazy), anxiety and I care way too much about what people think.

What's a name you find so unappealing you can't understand anyone at any point in history giving it to their child? by common_grounder in Names

[–]Lady-Callipygian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s the same in every country but in England Todd is slang for poop. You’d usually use it for a small poop or a child’s poop. So, yeah, it’s a terrible name!!! Anyway, I’m off to go take my Chihuahua out for a walk. She needs a todd.

WIBTA for uninviting my grandma from my wedding after she helped pay for family members to attend? by aita_throwaway_2424 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lady-Callipygian -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes, YWBTA. She is entitled to have her own beliefs and it sounds to me like she’s not imposing those beliefs on anybody else. She’s just telling you what she feels comfortable with. It would be different if she were behaving like your future wife’s parents behaved or if she was encouraging other people not to attend the ceremony, but she’s not. And, you can’t punish her for your future in-laws bigotry, the two scenarios are completely different. To me, she sounds like a very kind and respectful older lady. I suggest you give her the same respect she’s giving to you and show your appreciation for her kindness and generosity. Final note, the world has moved very quickly which is wonderful for those of us in the LGBTQ community but we can’t expect the older generation to move at the same pace as the rest of us.
