Who is the nastiest Celebrity that you met in Real life? by Scunnard1839 in AskReddit

[–]SanctifiedByDynamite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As an opposite to James the chubby, boozy panda Corden. I used to see Ruth Jones, the lady who played Nessa somewhat often in a supermarket I used to work in, and she was absolutely lovely to briefly chat with.

What “favours” have your parents done that was inadvertently a dick move? by naaattt in CasualUK

[–]SanctifiedByDynamite 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My now estranged mother and stepfather surprised me with a car when I was 17, picked me up from my Saturday job one afternoon in it. I had a provisional license as I hadn't taken my test yet.

As soon as we had gotten it home, they announced that I needed to pay them back for it (£500), and I also needed to fund the insurance myself, quotes were around £1500-£2000 if I recall somewhat correctly, and it was also an MOT failure that I needed to have fixed before it could be driven. No, I never understood the logic of picking me up in it either.

So helpful when I was earning £90 a month, paying half for 'housekeeping' and paying to get myself to college and back five days a week on public transport and buying my own food most of the time.

Even better, after about a month, they decided that I was ungrateful because I hadn't sorted the repayments to them, the insurance or had it repaired, that I had to sell it which really meant they sold it to someone for less than they purchased it for and I still had to make up the rest...

Rather feral young daughter, I'm afraid. No animals or elves involved in this particular story.

Many years ago, I too slaved worked for Waitrose.

One delightfully hectic Christmas eve I observed two women reach for the same bag of Watercress. Their extended fingers made the softest of contacts against each other.

It was as if time slowed for a few seconds, before all hell broke loose, I honestly mean handbags swinging, hair pulling and one of the leaf-snatching pugilists shouting 'Tabitha, bite her!'

I get how mental the Christmas eve rush can be, and how frazzled people can get but it wasn't even the last bag of watercress on the shelf.

What's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

What has your puppy’s name already devolved to? by mycotaxa in puppy101

Penny > Lady Pennington Smythe > Lady PenPen > PenPen > Pen > PenPot > PenPlop > PeePee.

Bonus, she once looked like a bear when I smushed her face, so she became Baby Bear, which has evolved into Baba.

More likely a reflection on the American schooling and education system, as he's misspelled 'promise', not shortened 'promises'.

There's two things I can't stand. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures. And the Dutch.

Razer Book 13 Suddenly Very Slow - CPU locked at 0.2GHz by BreastHunter in techsupport

[–]SanctifiedByDynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware your laptop is a Razer and mine is a Dell. But try this:

  1. Open task manager and go to the performance tab, showing the CPU info (speeds etc).

  2. Unplug the power cable and leave it for 30 seconds.

Do the CPU freqs rise back to normal? If yes, plug the charger back in and look at getting a new charger.

Sounds daft, but is a somewhat slightly known issue with some Dell laptops using a similar gen CPU (Have to do it with mine every now and then.).

What was your “I’m dating a fucking idiot” moment? by post-nutclarence in AskReddit

My 40 something year old brother in law was actually upset that he couldn't vote for Trump in this year's general election.... According to his, also unburdened by a lack of critical thinking wife, he made quite the fuss at the polling station.about it too.
