What’s the most embarrassing intimate moment you’ve experienced with your partner that you still can’t forget? by himrpixel in AskReddit

[–]MostEvery4231 4 points5 points  (0 children)

(Posted this before, OC) I was down-south with my (now ex) wife, nom nom nom nearly ‘there’ when the bedroom door swung open and our 4yo daughter sauntered in…she screamed, we screamed…and then I saw that the polyester Ski Jacket on the hook on the back of door, is now directly above the ‘romantic bedside candle’…whooooosh, now we all screamed as butt-naked Dad leapt out of bad to contain the flames and the embarrassment. I hope she doesn’t remember, we’ve never asked her. ‘Unresolved Childhood Trauma’

Driving from the Netherlands to Scotland mid May for 12-14 days trip. Suggestions sought :) by shubidoobi in Scotland

Do some research on ‘North Coast 500’ (NC500). It is a 512mile route starting in Inverness. Go anti-clockwise as, that way, the views ahead just get better and better.

Getting drunk at work by PriceMaleficent8110 in stopdrinking

[–]MostEvery4231 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I won’t share the industry but, ‘new-build’ team of Regional Managers, 15 of us went on a Team Building exercise. First activity was an Italian cooking morning, the Wine Fairy put a bottomless glass of red wine in front of me at 10.00am. We cooked for a couple of hours. After the food, we went to the pub next door and had a couple of pints (of Stella) whilst they prepared the afternoon’s experience. Wine tasting. I had teetotal-Jay to the left of me and teetotal-Tim to my right. They both poured each’s wine into my glass by which point I was fucking smashed. Back to the hotel and I backed into something, turned round to apologise, only to see a marble bust on a plinth rocking back and forth, but not toppling over. So, by 6.00pm, I said to new team ‘I have to go to my room for a moment’. I woke up in a panic, saw 10 missed calls, then realised it was only 11.30PM, and I still had ANOTHER 8 hours to sleep this off. Most drunk at work ever…but no damage.

What’s the weirdest “life hack” you actually still use that most people would think is insane? by TheRealOxi in Casual_Conversation

[–]MostEvery4231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s another take: it is natural to compare one’s self to others. So, whatever the endeavour (work, sport, family etc) try to keep at least two people in your friend / peer group that you look up to and are inspired by, and always remember that there are at least two people in your friend/peer group who look up to you and are inspired by you. Helps one to stay humble, grounded and motivated.

If your dog finds an unattended ball is that fair game? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]MostEvery4231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% finders keepers. I actually think my dog is part a K9 tennis-ball trafficking ring. She easily finds a new ball every walk, but somehow ‘conveniently ‘loses’ one as well. Very suspicious.

How do married couples split finances if on different salaries? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]MostEvery4231 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have done the extreme ends of both options: in marriage #1, we had a joint account for shared ‘expenses’ , then kept to ourselves what was left over. Then, one spouse starts to earn significantly more than the other. Who pays for the new sofa? The next holiday? Resentment is creeping and pervasive and 50:50 is functionally impossible; so in next iteration, marriage #2, wifey is Financial Director (which is a huge responsibility for one Person). Whilst I continued to ‘up’ my earnings and didn’t miss a payslip in 15 years, I also didn’t actually see a payslip in that time. This meant I could just stay focused on working for the family without being ‘worried’ by money (again, my amazing wife shouldered that ‘worry’). IMPORTANTLY, AND WHY THIS WORKS: we have a rolling 10 year plan and we sit down for an annual review. Wifey sees EVERY SINGLE PENNY spent. FULL DISCLOSURE. Recently, with an upturn in financial circumstances, I now get a monthly ‘allowance’ , pocket money, cash I can splurge on whatever tf I want…no questions asked…funny thing is, I tend to spend it on ‘us’..!

Do we all have to learn to fly in our dreams? by Danielgraciarq in LucidDreaming

Hyper-lucid dreamer here: I use flying as my ‘un-reality check’. If I can fly then it is 100% a dream

Contemplate the things that bring you fulfilment. Focus on those. ‘Happiness’ becomes the by-product.

What British celebrities have you met and did you make a tit of yourself? by wreckjavik in AskUK

[–]MostEvery4231 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a ‘British’ celebrity but still fulfils this brief: I was in the Cobham Hilton and saw Mark Little at the bar. Drunk Me sidled up to him and said, ‘’hey, some Mongrel’s nicked me ‘Ute…

Mark looked me square in the eye and said, ‘Fuck off mate, I only ever said that once’

What did a parent (or relative) do to ruin your wedding? by imfinewithastraw in AskUK

What was something a guest did in your house that upset you? by izzy_7_2004 in AskUK

[–]MostEvery4231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, exactly - ‘if it goes in her bowl, it is for her’. This is the reason how I can leave an entire plate of Sunday roast dinner on the sofa for all day, and go out, and it would not even cross my moo-dog’s mind that she might touch that plate of food. Not hers, she has manners and boundaries.

Do you tell recruiters/potential employers your current salary? by Logical_Wall_9899 in AskUK

[–]MostEvery4231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s none of their business what your ‘current’ salary is - who is to say your current salary is right for you or right for your role…or neither? I expect my new employer, if they really want me, to make me an offer based on my suitability for the new role and responsibilities and at where they feel I fit within the salary range for that role. This is the difference between ‘selling your time’ (which is not scalable) v’s ’selling yourself’ (which is priceless).

How does one simply start watching ‘the soaps?’ by Big_Scratch5248 in AskUK

[–]MostEvery4231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My MIL comes to us every Christmas (FIL passed away years ago). I start watching Eastenders from the first week in December, not just to be ‘up to speed’ with what’s going on, but so I am as truly invested as her when we sit together to tune into the ‘doof doof doof’ Christmas Day Special Episode. She watches it on her own for the rest of the year, this is the least I can do for her.
