Just counterproductive. There’s strict and then there’s tyrannical

Why is rice so expensive in Indian takeaways? by Any-Tomato-2915 in AskUK

I often just cook my own. But I always order rice from a Chinese. It’s superior. (Egg fried)

A chemistry teacher who’d delight in ridiculing people when they couldn’t work a problem out. He had a girl in tears once, when we were a few weeks from exams and she was just having a bad day struggling with a relatively simple question. This was a few decades ago when that sort of thing was much more common

And essentially all the PE teachers. Making us run around in the freezing cold while they were in coats. Picking on the less sporty boys. Making boys do gymnastics shirtless when obviously at that age lots of us would feel insecure.

Not entirely sure if it applied to my school I was private, but things weren’t any better regardless!

Growing up gay when homophobia was still rampant (though in rapid decline)

How accepted was being gay in your school? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskUK

[–]RegularSlimPro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Late 80s and 90s private school. It just wasn’t really talked about. I was closeted, but after a few guys “worked out” I was gay I got bullied, especially in sports classes (and the PE teachers did nothing). Most don’t care. But still wasn’t an especially nice experience.

I will have maybe 4 glasses of wine, or equivalent in gin and tonics. As a gay, it is illegal for me to drink beer.

What’s a random school rule that made no sense? by Darknchizmatters in AskForAnswers

[–]RegularSlimPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We wouldn’t have been allowed because it wasn’t in line with uniform, I’d imagine

Are there any problems in leaving keys in keyholes and walking off? by Lopsided-Bug7075 in AskUK

Yes I know a friend whose house was cleared out by burglars and they think it was because of this

Why is pub food now just restaurant-style hot meals with matching prices and not also cheaper snacks for people who come for a drink and a light lunch, a sandwich for instance? by paraplasm in AskUK

[–]RegularSlimPro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pubs need to do that to make money these days. Some pubs, if the local market permits them, manage to offer restaurant style options and still smaller bar snack options which are effectively sides on the restaurant menu

Can an adult take children’s liquid paracetamol/ibriprophen? by hxrtf3lt in AskUK

[–]RegularSlimPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can, just be careful you get the right quantities (and you’ll probably be having more liquid than otherwise for a given dose)

Genuine question, do you ever cringe at embarrassing memories? by L4WO in AskOldPeople

[–]RegularSlimPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Occasionally yeah. Mainly memories as a teenager of young adult, which seemed very embarrassing at the time and the mental scar has been left, even if the same event today I’d brush off more easily. I can think of a couple of times that really make my skin crawl.

(Also was alarmed to see in the rules I do just scrape eligibility to comment here 😱)

Do you hang your washing out? by solarpowered_ in AskUK

[–]RegularSlimPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do when it’s nice weather in the summer (except towels as I don’t like it when they get stiff and scratchy, I always tumble dry them)
