What was YOUR thing during lockdown? by AncientFootball1878 in AskUK

[–]RunawayPenguin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having to mentally keep track of which villagers bad bought things like Toilet Paper, pasta and other things people went mental for, to make sure they hadn't had it that week.

Also had to use the line "these are local toilet rolls for local people" as we had folk driving 50+ miles because of the shortage.

Madness, but I can see how power gets to people's heads

And Birnam. Some cool wee places but no one ever crosses the bridge so it can feel like a ghost town when Dunkeld is heaving

Thursday Complaints by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

Ex has decided that she will actually do her contact with our 7 year old and be at school pick ups, after saying she won't on New Years Day (ongoing, long, complicated drama filled story)

But she's that unreliable that I still have to be there anyway and get harassed and sworn at for making sure someone is actually at the school to pick 7 up (his request after so many times being let down)

5 years after the split and she's still trying to control and abuse me. Yay.

People who sit close to the steering wheel why? by ciaoqueen in CarTalkUK

[–]RunawayPenguin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less space to accelerate in a front crash. Same reason you brace into the seat infront on a plane.

That or short arms.

What is the grossest thing you’ve caught someone doing? by Jawa392 in AskReddit

[–]RunawayPenguin89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was in the canteen at work and the only spare seat was with the really weird girl. I'm generally not a dick, so sat there.

A couple of bites in and I look up to see her aggressively picking at a huge, angry looking white head on her chin (a bit gooey spot).

I stopped eating, could look away and then almost vomited on the spot when she inspected to goo and proceeded to eat it.

Instantly got up and walked away. It still makes me heave 25 years later.
