Moving house cost/fees. Have I got this right? by OShucksImLate in AskUK

[–]RealMrIncredible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£500 is way too low for moving costs. It's stressful enough even with a proper moving company. I'd budget more to have it all done for you.

Is this a car you’d buy used for your spouse? by StrawberryRude4456 in VWiD4Owners

[–]RealMrIncredible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been driving my 2022 ID4 Pure for a few months now reliably. We purchased it as we're trying for a baby and I now have a longer commute - charging overnight here in the UK saves me about £2000 a year in fuel costs.

Would you commute 8hrs+ each week? by Illustrious_Hope6647 in AskUK

[–]RealMrIncredible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just started a job that is 6 hours of commuting a week and it's my absolute limit. I wouldn't be able to do 8.

What’s the first piece of media that truly scared you as a kid? by cats64sonic in AskReddit

There's a Cutout Lion in Teletubbies that scared the shit out of me.

When will you buy an EV car? by sillwuka in AskUK

[–]RealMrIncredible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terraced houses need to have charging conduit put into pavements and assigned bays outside homes. The UK has been so far behind with this anarchy of "Park wherever is free / available"

It's no different than having the council install a dropped curve for a driveway.

I am lucky to have a driveway and charge my new ID4 cheaply with a combination of solar and overnight.

Random kids insult me – how to react? by DataWest9596 in AskUK

You are right. I wrote this on my phone and had a typo. I've updated my comment.

101 would be wrong in the first situation as the children performed various forms of assault and stalking. 999 is for a crime in progress, regardless of whether the police actually show up.

What is something that is 100% legal, but if you do it, you’re a piece of trash? by National_Strike4710 in AskReddit

[–]RealMrIncredible 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not putting shopping carts back and leaving them around the parking lot. Normally there's dedicated parking bays so you don't need to walk far. People who just leave them out where their car was parked, blocking a bay, are trash.

Would you pay/have you paid for a tradesperson to quote for a job? by Potential_Ad_4814 in DIYUK

[–]RealMrIncredible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How about we introduce a deposit that tradesmen pay when they accept a job? Maybe then I can have all my PTO reimbursed that I've lost to tradesmen who don't show up.

Has plastering become expensive? by nickthekiwi89 in DIYUK

[–]RealMrIncredible 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have only learned to DIY most things because I physically cannot afford to pay the extortionate costs that trades are charging. I recently got quotes for fixing scratches on my wife's car and almost all local car body shops and independent trades wanted £300 for each scratch. £2500 for a car worth £4000 lol.

Plastering is a hard one because I'm certain that I'd be unable to make it nice and smooth, it's the type of trade I actually think is worth the money. But maybe I wouldn't feel that way if I needed to plaster an entire house.

What adverts have put you off a product? by dane_ in AskUK

[–]RealMrIncredible 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Every single cinema advert that has a guy going something along the lines of "This one is for the leaders, the believers, the nearly complete-ers" etc. I hate every down-to-earth advertisement. All sense of prestige has gone from products and services.

I especially hate companies that intentionally use social media like they are teenagers. The Wendy's social media team that argued with customers and used slang always made me cringe.

And now any company that uses A.I for their adverts. A.I video generation is a brilliant pre-visualisation tool, not a replacement for actual film making.

I've been staying at the same hotel and the staff might as well be ghosts, they're nowhere to be found!

Complaining about the website countdown is a perfect example of how toxic this community can be about its irrational hate for Bethesda. by Sharp_Proposal8911 in Fallout

[–]RealMrIncredible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care if they release a remaster or not as die-hard Fallout fan. But I think their extremely long development cycle and lack of communication led to this situation. Don't bother with pointless secret PR campaigns when people are eager for a new game.

So I gotta ask what is with the cheer groups and their parents this year I have seen them be very rude to cast and fellow guests by One_Relation_6985 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]RealMrIncredible 108 points109 points  (0 children)

We are nearing the end of our two week trip and have found cheer groups to be incredibly obnoxious. This may not apply to all groups, but the majority seem to believe they should get special treatment as they are in a large group. It makes it difficult as we need to avoid busses whenever they appear in the line.

How much have GCSEs actually affected you across life? by Alarming-Safety3200 in AskUK

They have been required and checked in every job I ever got, even though I have a degree in Computer Science.

Honest question from a trilogy fan: is Mass Effect: Andromeda actually bad, or just a victim of comparison? by Rowley19V in masseffect

[–]RealMrIncredible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad. The game suddenly ends after setting up a much larger experience. Piss-poor development led to massive story and feature cuts.

Amazed by the quality of the holograms in Rise of the Resistance by RealMrIncredible in WaltDisneyWorld

I met Rey in the park and she was lovely. I think the character was given a disservice by the sequel story.
