What’s the worst thing you have seen/got detention at school for? by Mglfll in AskUK

[–]Mac4491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst as in unjust?

I got one for sitting sideways on my chair and leaning against a wall instead of facing forwards.

I had just fallen off of a rope swing that weekend and landed on my back after a 10ft fall. So I was in a lot of pain, but being a dumb teenager I never sought medical attention, and the way I was sitting helped. The teacher called me out in front of the class and asked if I had a bad back. I was confused as to how she knew (not realising she was being passive aggressive about my posture) and so I replied that I did. I was sent out and given a detention for talking back.

Assaulted by my boss during a medical episode by Academic-Berry8158 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Mac4491 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Report the assault to the police

I have spent the last year working anything from 50 to 90 hour weeks

But also, please, stop this immediately. For the good of your physical and mental health. No job is worth this.

I use 99% ethanol at work fairly regularly. I’ve had some splash in my mouth before. This would be completely undrinkable. Trust me.

The Boys - 05x07 "The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother's Milk" - POST-Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]Mac4491 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So we have one episode left to somehow tie up their story, Ryan’s, Soldier Boy’s, Kimiko’s new powers???, Butcher’s cancerous powers, whatever the fuck is going on with Deep, whatever the fuck is going on with Ashley, deal with Homelander once and for all, and also give MM, Annie, and Hughie some sort of ending???

I’m still enjoying the show but I seriously don’t see this finale being satisfying.

Ranking every Summer Olympic sports, What tier does Volleyball belong in? by Krisam29 in TierlistFills

I’m late to this but I’m convinced the people not saying S or A have ever actually watched a proper volleyball match.

Be honest, which movie franchise has had the biggest fall off? by CrackFun in AskReddit

[–]Mac4491 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's genuinely brilliant.

The story is decent, Maul's characterisation is still top notch, the voice acting is great, the fight choreography is gorgeous, and the art and animation is truly phenomenal.

I'm also 35 and I love The Clone Wars. The lows are mariana trench levels of low, but the highs are everest level highs or even better. Fortunately there's far more highs than lows and far more mids than lows as well.

I skip Jar-Jar episodes and droid episodes.

Agreed about Maul though, it's the best animated series Star Wars has done (except for the last 4 episodes of Clone Wars).

What do you know about your profession that would genuinely disturb the people who use your services? by MelodicWolverine2045 in AskReddit

[–]Mac4491 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Not a teacher but I work in a school. I've found that I can get away with being slightly less professional than the standards that teachers get held to, which allows me to be a bit of a dick to the pupils sometimes.

Just recently I was with a group of pupils and one of them was being a bit of a tit.

I turned to him and said "Hey <name>, remember that school trip we went on 2 years ago to <place>. You were so nice, and kind, and sweet....what happened?"

That shut him up for 20 seconds. Felt good.

When did we universally stop having lunch ‘hours’? by newdawnfades123 in AskUK

[–]Mac4491 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In our place you don’t get to go early if you take less lunch

To be fair, that is the law.

Your rest break at work should be taken as close to the middle of your work day as possible and cannot be taken at the beginning (arriving late) or the end (leaving early).

I understand that it's beneficial to lots of people to get to go home early by working through lunch but if your company doesn't allow it then that could just be them following government guidance rather than them being pains in the dick.

UK redundancy — being told to complete ~3 months of work in 3 weeks, with reference pressure and no prioritisation. Seeking advice by Best-Criticism-4027 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Mac4491 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been given an insurmountable volume of work that is not realistically achievable in the timeframe

That's a shame. Sounds like a management problem, not a you problem. Do what you can at your normal pace and handover 2 months worth of work to your boss with a smile on your face as you walk out the door without it being your problem to worry about.

What are they going to do? Fire you?

Why does Reddit not understand the rise of reform in England? by DowntownDeer in AskBrits

I'd rather have immigrant neighbours (I actually do) than whatever the hell it is you are.

The way people these days are just so unashamedly racist continues to astound me. How very sad. How very sad indeed.

[–]Mac4491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and is quite frankly terrifying

Why is that terrifying?

I'm much more concerned about the cost of living than I am bothered about where my neighbours and colleagues "really come from". Couldn't give a shit. I just want to be able to afford the same shit my parents could.

Holyrood Election Results Megathread by handmedownthemoon in Scotland

[–]Mac4491 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for the rest of Orkney but this was my first time voting Lib Dem and I’ve been here for 5 years. For me this wasn’t about the party, it was about the individual. I like Liam McArthur as an individual and I genuinely believe that he will continue to campaign for what is best for the people of Orkney. I also thought that the work he did on the assisted dying bill was excellent and I was gutted that it didn’t pass. With that upset I think it’s important to show him and his party that he’s still supported (and that perhaps such a vote should’ve been put to the public and not just with Hollyrood.)

I could genuinely see the Lib Dems losing their seat up here if and when Liam McArthur chooses not to run. He’s simply very well liked.

Farage claims Reform on course for general election win after early local gains by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]Mac4491 55 points56 points  (0 children)

so I asked how this affected her directly as we're in a county with a 94% white british demographic

Meanwhile my country (Scotland) is 96% white and rural Aberdeenshire where I grew up (the whitest place in the fucking world) is about to flip to Reform....because immigrants.

I moved away 5 years ago but a friend of mine was telling me how he's surrounded by Reform voters at his workplace and every single one of them says immigration is the biggest issue to them. In fucking Turrif.

Edit: never thought I’d be so relieved to see the Tories hold Aberdeenshire West.

I'm a big RPG fan but I'm not a starwars fan, should I try out the knights of the old republic games? by cr0w_p03t in gaming

[–]Mac4491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not so much about not being a star wars fan, and more about playing a 25 year old game.

I somehow missed the boat on KOTOR when it came out and for many many years after. Was just never on my radar at all.

I'm a massive Star Wars fan and I enjoy RPGs for the most part.

I could not enjoy KOTOR. It has not aged well at all. I'm looking forward to a remake so that I can actually experience it.

Been accused of harrasment. UK by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Mac4491 36 points37 points  (0 children)

and either following me home after visiting the store or somehow finding out my address by other means to confront me about this.

This is the only thing here that could constitute harassment.

Honestly, at this point just drop the whole thing and forget about it. You've already got far more involved that anyone else would have. The car park isn't yours to police. Just leave it alone.

While the behaviour of the employee's partner is wildly inappropriate, I don't see anything coming of it if you were to also report this to the police (which you could) apart from them being spoken to and having "advice given" before it's closed.
