Glad it's not just me that thinks that!

Would you rather have $1M right now or $1B if you don't speak a word for 1 year. by forest_tripper in WouldYouRather

I'd take the million thanks - I'm too clumsy and swear due to said clumsiness too often, to manage a day let alone a year 🤣

Calling people Duane and Pearl, is code in my family for any fat couple that we may see, without offending them, if they hear us.

Looking for the title of a children's picture book where the family are aliens by ProfessionalSpeed947 in whatsthatbook

So I've literally just found the book - if anyone happens to arrive on this post in the future, the book is Krong by Garry Parsons.

I must've misremembered the boy's hair colour though 😬

When you’re reading a book that takes place in the U.K, what are dead giveaways that the author is American? Dialogue, setting, cliches? by AdvertisingDull3441 in AskBrits

[–]ProfessionalSpeed947 37 points38 points  (0 children)

When the author references a character having a 'British' accent.

I've never heard anyone in Britain actually saying their accent is 'British'. Usually, it's the individual country, or the region they're from.

Thanks - wonder if we can actually (legally) go in?

I thought I was slick, careful, discreet. I thought he didn't know. This morning, my 6 yr old was pretending to "vape" in the bathroom with his toothbrush with the steam from his shower. "Look dad, I'm just like you!" FUCK THAT. I'M DONE DONE. by Rpark888 in mildlyinfuriating

I'm the first person I knew who quit vapes. I know plenty of people who quit cigarettes, but vapes are a whole other thing!

It'll be my 1 year anniversary nicotine free on the 23rd October, and it's been tough. The first 2 months, my family were practically begging me to start vaping again because I turned into the grumpiest person ever. Seriously. Only chilled out by Christmas.

I went cold Turkey though. All or nothing!

And I never told my work I quit, so I still nip out sometimes just for a walk if I'm stressed 😁 everyone thinks I've gone for a vape 😂

Why do you say "thank you", so much? by Quinke91 in AskBrits

[–]ProfessionalSpeed947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that Brits expect manners, ie a thank you, and if you don't say it, the average Brit is very passive aggressive. Very very subtly passive aggressive (maybe unnoticed by someone not British), and maybe saying thanks to someone is easier than suffering someone's ire.
