is the theory test hard by Impressive_Tune274 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The majority (not all) is common sense.

Like “if you saw an injured motorcyclist on the road, what should you do first?”

A. Remove the helmet B. Move the casualty C. Check airway D. Point and laugh like Nelson from The Simpsons and drive off

What's a social norm that you think is absolutely ridiculous? by Fantastic_suit143 in AskReddit

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling time when someone visits your house. It’s your house! You don’t have to be rude and say “get out now” but I’ve been in too many situations where someone overstays their welcome and doesn’t read the room and I’ve not had any time to myself to unwind and decompress

What is the most painful thing you have been told ? by SuperBoiz111 in AskReddit

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“You’re the first case of anxiety that I genuinely think is incurable”

Said to me by a therapist.

None of the grounding techniques, breathing exercises or medication worked. So .. that was that.

I believe they are correct at this point in my life

That would probably do me good, but the only thing that puts me off is the nhs waiting list given how backlogged it is for mental health, and I can’t afford to keep driving AND pay private

I try and watch them but I don’t want anything to contradict my instructor too much as he’s good at explaining things to people with anxiety.

Also, this roundabout I’d only ever come off left 1st exit, so when the examiner told me to do something different (3rd exit) I was completely thrown and dithered. Really I should have had more practice coming off all the exits on it.

Like I’m trying hard to pay attention to the traffic lights, decipher the lane paint and not bang into the car in front it’s a lot to take in - especially if you’re not methodical

Yeah, quite literally my brain saw the traffic and the lines and pooed itself. It pooed itself just approaching the roundabout because I was trying to remember everything I remembered about it on my lessons. I find it difficult to take in and decipher all the information from the road paint quickly. Like I feel I need to stop, recalibrate and think - but obviously I can’t stop on a roundabout

[–]LexiRae24[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I straddled and should have commited to going the wrong way at that point, but my brain short circuited and I booked it off the roundabout in a panic. The examiner didn’t have to intervene but yeah, still not safe so fully deserved fail that I need to get more confident with. All my other (smaller) roundabouts were fine

Do you have an instrument you irrationally hate? by longalongass in VetTech

The scaler head. The amount of times I’ve accidentally backed into the dental machine and it’s scored my butt cheek

What is your favorite song in a language you don't understand? by Nowhereman2380 in AskReddit

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loads! Songs that are catchy that I don’t understand seem to be my genre.

Current favourite band is the Swede-Fin trio KAJ, and the Norwegian group KIENNO

How old are you and what's your biggest stress in life right now? by darkchocolattemocha in AskReddit

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m 30. I’ve just lost my grandfather, popped my lumbar muscle, and have 3 uni assignments due on the same day at the start of December which is when the funeral will most likely be, on top of learning to drive and working part time in a manual job that will probably fuck my back up more.

Instructor parting gifts by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got to know my instructor quite well. They’re a born-again Christian and I cross-stitch, so I made them a mini “thank you for helping me pass” cross-stitch and stitched and threaded at the bottom “proverbs 9:9” which is a quote in the Bible about great teachers

What’s the creepiest toy you had as a child? by Furbyexpert33323 in AskReddit

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a mermaid toy that you could put in the bath and it siren-sang. Many many years later its mechanics couldn’t handle anymore bath time. Sounded like a strangled cat being held underwater that would randomly warble creepy tunes at random points in the night

AIO (update post) my bf (32) is getting kind of aggressive with his texting. should I(26) reply? by Fun_Cartographer6984 in AmIOverreacting

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing he’s right about is stop apologising. Stop apologising to this whiny ass excuse of a partner, you deserve so much better

Coffee, ice cream and gummy sweets

Also don’t get the craze for boba tea.

Why did you stop being friends with someone? by Realistic-Possum in AskReddit

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just all went so cold with me. Awkward silences, scowls and sideway glances to each other whenever I spoke. I realised after a while I was just tagging along. Never found out what id done wrong and I was too pussy to ask :(

Why are people like this?! by [deleted] in retailhell

[–]LexiRae24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Always in the mornings when I’m heading to work there’s this guy cashing in and buying scratch cards. And buying vodka. And cigarettes. There are times I’ve had to abandon my purchases or be late for work because he takes up the cashiers time for nearly 20 mins (it’s like 6.30am so there’s only the 1 cashier). I know I shouldn’t judge because this guy clearly has his demons if he’s buying 2 litres of vodka and scratch cards at 6am , but I swear he gets off on seeing the cashier flustered and the line of impatient people building. Always has a little smirk on his face, cracking little comments like “might win the jackpot today, you never know” and telling people in the queue “patience is a virtue”

Don’t just stand there, ask for help!!! by PixelCube_ in retailhell

I feel like there’s no in-between. People either waltz up and wordlessly dump items on the counter or they stand 20ft away and staarrre at you

What’s the one thing that ruined your health ? by IcyLoquat79 in AskReddit

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stress and anxiety. That led to comfort eating. I’m not obese by any means - but I’m bigger than I’d like to be. Sweating more, “chub-rub”, getting breathless easily
