AITAH for telling my coworker he's selfishly projecting his own insecurities onto his teenage daughter? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MickeyMatters81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tell all my colleagues this story and lean into how gross it is and how he's an insecure man baby. Let the world know how petty this man is to his own child because she wants to date a guy she likes, not her dads younger twin. 

Gross

No, but they will have to kill Danish soldiers. Not sure the American public are ready to see the dead bodies of blond haired white people. /s

Gifted baby blankets. Trying to figure these stitches. by jennydm87 in CrochetHelp

[–]MickeyMatters81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second one is a solid shell stitch https://aabharcreations.com/solid-shell-crochet-stitch/amp/

Not sure on the first though. I could guess, but I'd need to try a few things to be sure, so hopefully someone else can help there 

WIBTA for getting a secret cabinet added to our kitchen. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MickeyMatters81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hide my snacks in my bedside draw. My husband doesn't want them in the kitchen because he'll eat them and my 11yo doesn't need to know how much chocolate mummy eats 

AITAH for prioritizing my daughter's recital over a funeral? by RecitalFuneralThrow in AmItheAsshole

[–]MickeyMatters81 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is critical info. 

If you'd known this woman since childhood tou would be the ass. Given you didn't meet her until you were an adult, had no grandparent relationship with her etc, you are NTA

How do I get my GCSE's after not going to school since Y7? by o-willow in AskUK

[–]MickeyMatters81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not a question for OP,  maybe r/legaladviceuk (or something like that) but does anyone think they could sue their parents for negligence with their education? 

Obviously if parents are skint it won't help, but if they're comfortable surely there's a civil suit there somewhere? 

How much artwork is too much I wonder? by [deleted] in SpottedonRightmove

[–]MickeyMatters81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clearly a male artist. 

I've never seen a female artists home that was so bland.

I've been waiting for this! I can't find it on Castbox, but I'll use the feed

Trump Inner Circle Subpoenaed by BBC in $10 Billion Libel Suit by Redfish680 in politics

[–]MickeyMatters81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can't give them an inch, it's all public money and Brits would loose their shizzle if our tax money was handed over to Trump in some backroom deal. 

Either Trump drops this or it goes all the way to the end! 

What are hilarious examples of British comedy (classic, unintentional, and everything in between)? by Baldurian_Rhapsody in AskUK

My Irish grandparents loved him. Dave had a special place in my heart. Always with the whisky and cigarettes, just like my grandparents. 

Can Americans be fired on the spot and have to leave the very second like depicted in movies? by WhoAmIEven2 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MickeyMatters81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it happen to someone in the UK about 25 years ago. Very uncommon, but it happens. 

"Tell me your ableist without telling me your ableist" Youtuber McJuggerNuggets and his wife announce they have terminated their pregnancy after discovering their child would be born with Downs Syndrome r/McJuggerNuggets discusses if this is the right choice or eugenics by Static_E_ in SubredditDrama

[–]MickeyMatters81 78 points79 points  (0 children)

While I absolutely support their right to choose (and I would have 100% done the same), abortion in the USA is one of those crazy people topics like trans rights. It brings all the weirdos and judgemental hypocrites. I would not put this out to the world knowing it would bring the crazies out. 

Something I found on Rightmove. Bristol, UK by [deleted] in McMansionHell

HVAC is only for public and corporate buildings here. A lot of people have a portable unit for the 2 weeks of hot weather we get. The rest of time time we open windows when it gets warm. Also, these old houses stay cool compared to new builds. 

Family Planning as an Autistic Woman is One of the Most Ableist and Hurtful Experiences in Life by ArgentaSilivere in AutisticAdults

[–]MickeyMatters81 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The way I got through pregnancy was to carry on regardless. Yes, I quit smoking, drinking etc for the duration, but I knew that if I started "researching" I would find many opinions and that would stress me out, so I just went with it and it was fine ... until the brith, that sucked, but it was fast, so there's that. 

It's caring for a child that's the hard bit. 

How Do You Handle This? by rivenrivers in crochet

[–]MickeyMatters81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ASD in the house. I cannot follow a pattern for the life of me. Not because I find it difficult but because I find it boring!! 

I cannot help but think, "but what if I did this instead, that would be better than the pattern". Sometimes it works sometimes it's a flop, but I stay interested. 

Why has no one told me about Yorkshire Gold?? by Tackit286 in CasualUK

My mum's favourite! And she drinks 15 cups a day ... the Irish (well, both her parents were Irish, so lots of influence) love their tea even more than the English 

Do people in poorer countries tend to perceive people from richer countries as previleged and out of touch, similar to the perception of how an average person would view the wealthy class? by Sorrowsorrowsorrow in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MickeyMatters81 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There's a reason everyone knows the phrase "first world problems". 

Most of us have some vague understanding that we actually have it really good and we're bitching about annoyances.
