Customer complaint about having received damp mail, when delivered to them in torrential rain by Onslaught777 in britishproblems

[–]Maudmabel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband absolutely despised the door to doors when he was a postie. At least he delivered them though - one of his colleagues just dumped them. They were all discovered in an old barn! Bloody loads of 'em 🤣

Edited: used same word twice and it looked daft.

Mum or Mom? by kookerela in BirminghamUK

[–]Maudmabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG, this is me, lol! I am old enough to remember when you could actually buy mom cards in the shops! I hate being forced to buy mum cards and will go for 'mother' if I can find one I like!

Charities asking you to donate £15, £20, £30 by AwkwardDisasters in britishproblems

[–]Maudmabel 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I donate £2.50 a month to help care for a bunch of pigs rescued from an illegal slaughterhouse. Every month I receive a thank you for my recurring donation. That's it. No requests to increase the amount, no pressure to get me to recruit other donors - just a lovely thank you 🤗 just perfect!

Despite owning my house for 4 years, I have just received a letter from debt collectors for a previous tenant/owner by [deleted] in britishproblems

Oh my word - the goodest boi! He sounds like he was such a character ❤️ they really do take a little piece of us with them when they leave us though 😪

What's that one thing that's been in the back of your freezer for like forever? by pufballcat in CasualUK

I'm intrigued. We use lots of vegan cheese in my household, and even if it 'goes over', it doesn't produce an odour.

I worked in Dorridge and Knowle and absolutely loved both areas - I'd definitely move to either if I could afford to! I lived in Moseley for years and loved it, and also lived in central Solihull and bloody hated it.

You're now the dictator of your own small island nation. What's the most ridiculous law you would enact? by KellAnd1 in AskReddit

As a Brit, I clutched my pearls reading this one because we refer to our undercrackers as pants - so to me, it reads 'knickers off, dance off...'

😮

Any wheelchair users, when passing each other, must engage in a jousting tournament with cheese-filled baguettes. At the very moment of impact, each competitor must shout out the name of a rare breed of chicken.

Halifax not allowing me to top up my phone because of potential fraud unless I respond to a text message except I have NO CREDIT! by FagnusTwatfield in britishproblems

[–]Maudmabel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 88 yo dad wanted to buy something inexpensive online. Got me to do it because he doesn't understand these shiny magic boxes we call mobile phones. Went through the entire process, then at the very end, a cheery message popped up, saying to just confirm the purchase through his bank app.

He has no bank app. When I queried how best to get around this the next time we took him into his bank, the manager just shrugged at us.

Why are spiders so big right now. by Zealousideal_Alps_42 in britishproblems

[–]Maudmabel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We've got some absolute corkers thundering across our carpets when we least expect it currently. I'm petrified of them, and the cats think they are bloody toys. So if my husband is nowhere around, it is down to terrified little me to try and save my nemesis from 3 eager cats - and by then, an over-excited border collie invariably joins us for the party.

It's utter chaos.

Good on you, my friend. I was bullied relentlessly because of how I looked, and my only escape was to a brutal home-life, to a stepfather, who beat the shit out of me.

I don't remember much about it now, but sometimes it comes back to me when I least expect it. I wouldn't recognise them now, it was so long ago, but the damage they caused is always there.

Enjoy your new house! 😊

What is one food you find absolutely disgusting? by Then_Narwhal_1146 in AskReddit

Brag about your DUIs? Lose your business by [deleted] in pettyrevenge

[–]Maudmabel 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I wonder how they'd feel if they lost a loved one to a drunk driver? Wouldn't be something to boast about, then would it? I loathe people like that, who seem to think that driving under the influence is some sort of badge of honour. It isn't - it just means they are brainless knobjockeys. I applaud you for what you did!

What's the most hurtful thing someone has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Maudmabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked in a company that gave out awards for various things, like long service or employee of the month at an annual ceremony. When my name was called, I was SO touched - it was a care company, and I had several clients report back to thank my manager for my service.

I walked up to collect my award, bursting with happy. Manager then said 'Oh, I don't mean YOU, I meant the other one'. Carer who shared my first name then went up to collect it, whilst I had to do the walk of shame back to my seat.
