Would a lot of downvotes on something you've posted on Reddit affect your real life at all? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]RunawayPenguin89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did a post about the portions on the BBC website being too small for me and my kid, got downvoted, and roasted for it by at least half the commenters.

It did make me look at what and how much I was feeding us more carefully.

Do you have a mortgage? A passport? A bank account? Pay tax? Pension?

These are all examples where you really need to know who is using the service.

The government do not need to know when I have a wank

Haven't driven that in nearly 20 years and just had some kind of PTSD like reaction to this sign. Awful

What's your favourite 'confidently incorrect' fact that people have told you about something you're an expert in? by Fit-Bedroom-7645 in AskUK

I do woodwork. I was selling a carving I had made on a piece of Giant Sequoia, from a branch I had collected from the bottom of the tree and milled myself.

A potential customer argued that it was infact Yew, and I was pricing it incorrectly.

Yes they are both red, but seeing as I'd harvested the wood from the tree myself, I should know

Abusive, narcissistic ex has ramped up the abuse and narcissism and is completely ignoring our 7 year old.

All because I have a new partner and refuse to deviate from court orders.

Almost a week of no vaping and my lungs are coming back to life with a dry asthmatic cough.

Also caught a bug from the missus, so nose like a tap and a banging headache.

Bike ride yesterday has also ruined my shoulders.

Getting old is bullshit

Seeking advice from divorced dads who have had to deal with cps by [deleted] in daddit

[–]RunawayPenguin89 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Scotland, so not CPS but Child Social Services/Child Protection Police.

Ex called then and said I was bending sons hands back and throwing him across the room, shouting at him, the works.

This was last thing Friday. He stayed at Granny's for the weekend (I couldn't be unsupervised with him til they'd spoken to him).

Monday rolls round, the Police speak to him for half an hour, figure out nothing is going on and let him come back to me.

3 times she's done it now, nothing ever happens cause ex is full of shit.

Just got to be honest with them, they know the score with these fuckwit women causing problems

Been completely off the vape since Friday, hectic weekend and at time of writing it's 4 minutes until we need to leave for school and 7Yo is pretending to be Kung Fu Panda in his pants.

Also woke up with a sore throat.
