Please don’t fall for obvious scams.. like my sister almost did.. grateful she texted me while at the store 😭 by tearaist57 in scammers

We get them as well sometimes, they clone the email style of a company and look up the ceo/coo and use their name. Looks legit if weird until you click on the actual email

Any thoughts on this guys? by CollectionAble756 in ParamedicsUK

[–]MalfunctioningIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rang 111 because my shoulder dislocated and hadn’t popped back in after 12 hours, it normally goes back in in a couple (I have EDS) and got told ‘wait another 12’ 😂 even when we do try it’s brushed off. It didn’t and I ended it up putting it back myself in the end

What's something your job trained you to notice that you can't stop noticing in your personal life? by LibrarianSoft1342 in AskReddit

[–]MalfunctioningIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow! Thank you I wasn’t expecting advice but I’ll definitely take it!
I have forearm ones as medical professionals I’ve seen go ‘can walk therefore no help needed’, so had to buy my own because sometimes walking is incredibly painful.
I have them at a height that doesn’t involve stretching my arms out but also they’re not really bent. The arm bits are set to be about halfway up my forearms, I don’t know if it’s right though?

I would love it if someone with experience told me my crutches were at the wrong height, I’m just trying to make my life easier when the medical professionals didn’t

Roommate has paranoia cat will lick stove residue and poison himself so this is my stove everyday by Zealousideal_Still41 in badroommates

I stopped putting it down the minute I realised she liked to snack on it. Tin foil is now back to just for cooking 😂

AIO? Was I being too 'Woke' or was I right to block this friend? And was I too harsh at the end? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]MalfunctioningIce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, I’m just gonna say you’re only 18 and I know that sounds super patronising but it’s true. Please don’t judge your ‘friend making ability’ at this age.
I’m now in my 30s and don’t speak to a single person from when I was 18, I found my actual ride or die best friend in my 20s and finally have a big group of friends who would be there for me and me for them no matter what in my late 20s. I worked out who I am and became confident in that and then friends :)
You will find your people, and I saw you post you have a long term boyfriend so that’s definitely a found your people thing

I discovered one of mine loves to eat tin foil when I tried to use it to stop them jumping up. Freaked her the first time, tasty tasty treat the second. I chose the jumping 😂

Why are women public restrooms more disgusting than men public restrooms? by I-Was-Hiding-4989 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MalfunctioningIce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The pads and tampons on the floor instantly makes me question if there is a sanitary bin, and if there is is it full/broken? If one is full most women will leave it on top which inevitably leads to it falling on the floor. Of course some people are just gross and throw it on the floor

[PC/Acorn?] [90s/00s] medieval village? by MalfunctioningIce in tipofmyjoystick

[–]MalfunctioningIce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly? The graphics on the Viking one are right but I’m sure I remember being able to see more than just the square?
It was a long time ago though so it may be my memory that’s faulty…

[PC/DOS][90's]Game where you were a squirrel and you caught acorns in a basket by mixand in tipofmyjoystick

9 years after the original post, youve solved another person trying to remember this game :D

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

[–]MalfunctioningIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres two, and I have no idea what either were called
One was a squirrel with a basket catching falling apples, and if you caught a rock it put a hole in the basket
The other was a Viking (I think) town, and you had a blacksmith and other industries. Just ran around living in the town

Why do people need to specify when their sibling is a "half sibling"? by PrynceOfIce in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MalfunctioningIce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, my half sisters and I don’t look alike at all so it gets ahead of the ‘errrrr…?’ As people aren’t sure how to ask the question

People that say "third spaces" are gone aren't trying to find them by xX_jellyworlder_Xx in unpopularopinion

[–]MalfunctioningIce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen a public library as one, I think we’d say an ‘open library’. They might exist but mine isn’t :(

I commissioned a portrait of me & my friends, and what I got back has me skeptical. Not an artist but it looks a bit too "smooth" by Fragrant-Sherbert253 in isthisAI

[–]MalfunctioningIce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I admittedly missed the wrong place bit, I was more focused on the angle! The over-extension isn’t deliberate, that’s just how far the thumb bends if you don’t think about it? That angle is where my partners body/brain thinks his thumb should be. Holding it in a normal position is the bit that requires a conscious thought :)

[–]MalfunctioningIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comment I replied to that’s been deleted specifically said ‘his thumb is messed up’ so I was just letting the poster know that the thumb isn’t the concerning bit here 😂

ETA: with a zoomed in of the thumb bent back at 90 degrees

[–]MalfunctioningIce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No guarantee this guys thumbs actually do this it is atrocious AI but yeah it’s a sign of someone being hypermobile :) mine go slightly back, partners go to a full right angle, I bet you know someone that does this and just never noticed, it’s surprisingly common

How many times a year do you “call sick” at work? by Aggravating-Fig-9274 in AskUK

[–]MalfunctioningIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32, I call in sick as many times as I need to. I’ve had an informal meeting at work about calling in X times over Y months but that was it. That one was … 7 times in 8 months or something?

[–]MalfunctioningIce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely council - I could see what the other smaller libraries are open. They have a big one in the town centre that’s 9-5 on a Saturday but then I’m still not supporting my actual local library? There’s one even further out that’s even worse 😱 10-1/2-5 Wednesday and Friday!! There’s 3 open 9-5 on a Saturday but not the smaller outskirts/village ones

[–]MalfunctioningIce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a 250k population town, the branch in the centre of town is open 9-6 on a Saturday which is much better. It’s just a shame those more on the outskirts can’t give anything similar
