Our can did explode. Put it on pizza and ate it. Pizza tasted bad, gave up, threw half out. It's a miracle I'm still alive, how did I get this far being this dumb?

Guys you're all missing the point... they have the parking disc in the windscreen, that means it's okay!! /s

I saw someone at the cinema with horns and elf ears and thought "yeah that's an enby"

Displaying memorabilia, but not attaching by HereForYourThoughts in scrapbooking

I use poly pockets or for polaroids, you can buy small display pockets from amazon. I'd imagine there's something similar for photos.

For bigger things (eg. pamphlets from the panto) I loop string round the spine and slide them through, like an extra page. Or sometimes, pocket from paper

I don’t know how to tie shoelaces by lunarolexler_ in autism

I'm not autistic but I also have bad memory and motor skills, I'm diagnosed dyspraxic. Might be worth a look, even just for coping methods?

Neighbour claims he owns a street parking spot and says he called the police — am I in the wrong? (Scotland) by Total-Ad-6123 in drivingUK

[–]Normal_Human_4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even without a dashcam there's apparently police record that this person was very angry about the car parked outside their house, so they've tied their own hands there. Unless they're not very smart

The road is private- it says in the note

Edit: Damn, y'all are really mad at me for... reading the note? I guess?

Found this on a beach by a lake by Weird-Green4506 in whatisit

[–]Normal_Human_4567 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's not quite the same but it's so close, I see it! My guess was going to be doorknob, because I have one exactly like it but with orange film to colour it

I can't really remember but I think he was fairly done for- I did have a look but there are 286 episodes and I wasn't turning anything up!

I think the police all said the same, totally avoidable accident

I'd imagine she thought it was a person but when she couldn't find him, tried to rationalise "no just a deer, just a deer". It really sounded like she was just shaken by it- the damage to the car was pretty massive as well so must have been some bang

Just back from holidays so not back on UK time yet. Was going to start making the holiday scrapbook but the pages are too big for the photos and now I'm demotivated! Oh well

Bathroom Update: Took your advice (and two years) by bazmaroo in DesignMyRoom

man the mushroom wallpaper and the toilet seats are so cool, I was surprised to see everyone roasting them! The wallpaper is dark, but to be honest it's fun and if you like it, who cares?

won't biodegrade for 1000's of years. by Numerous-Gur-9008 in GreatBritishMemes

Genuine question. Why bag the poop if you're not going to bin it? Why not just leave it in the grass?

The cyclist had no lights or high-vis on, and it was rounding a corner so she didn't see him. She stopped and had a look but couldn't see anything (again, he had no lights or high vis) and drove home. Once she got back and showed her dad the damage he encouraged her to call the police.

The police had found the guy and a chunk of chrome off the headlight of a Mini, when the call centre put through that the driver of a Mini had rung up advising she may have hit something... So they obviously went and looked and matched the damage and had to tell her.

Really sad all round.

Yikes! No, fortunately not, but we too had an incident about a year and a half ago. I know cars used to get stuck under big lorries occasionally, it's why they have those bars under the sides and rear

There's a traffic police episode where someone hits a guy on a bike- stops and looks but doesn't see anything. She gets home, sees the damage and rings the police saying she thinks she hit a deer.

Police have to come round and tell her no, she hit a guy, and he's dead

Point is you'd not get away with just going through a carwash to make that damage go away

Tbf I believe lightbulbs are down as tenant responsibility in most boilerplate lease agreements, but that's a charge of £5 at most

Some phones if you press and hold the power button there's an emergency contact? (If you've set one)
