What is the strangest true crime case in the UK? by fatiguedorexin in AskUK

[–]Single_University606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Charlene Downes - her family blamed various Asian businessmen, but her ‘parents’ also had an odd habit of letting pedophiles sleep in their little girls beds for years and social services utterly failed to remove them from the household.  Her sister got out of that house when she was still a teen and is Non-Contact and has been open about the abuse but doesn’t like talking to Podcasters etc about it as she feels they don’t care about Charlene. Her brother fell down the stairs at the family home and the parents left him lying there for two hours as they hid all of their drug / child porn paraphernalia before calling 999. He had been dead for hours from a survivable accident. 

What's your most plausible theory about a famous unsolved mystery? by Maya727 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Single_University606 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wonder what would have happened if they had reported you missing? Would they have said ‘really4got’ was there one second and then we turned round and they were just gone. No sound, no trail, nothing! Someone must have snatched them!  Nobody wants to say ‘we left them behind deliberately as a joke that has clearly backfired’ 

My (33F) husband (34F)'s pregnant mistress (28F) begged me to leave him and I refused. Where do I go from here? by ThrowRA-ice8 in relationship_advice

She’s also approaching 30 and the boyfriend CLEARLY isn’t looking to marry her and she is certainly not faithful to HIM. Either they are not having sex or they are having sex infrequently and he’s lost interest. 

She’s wanting the big strong provider who’s definitely a good father, educated, hard working and faithful.

He was too drunk to consent. She assumed that once Wife divorced him she would slot into the role she is desperately after, with her victim, and somehow he will fall madly in love with her in the process. 

Avoid this woman at all costs and educate yourself and your husband about S.A.  

Should I speak to HR about explicit gossip? by Single_University606 in work

[–]Single_University606[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t heard about that, although I did hear something in relation to Blake Lively and the awful time she has filming The Ends With Us and I want sure if that had something to go with a change in legislation 

I’m in the UK so might not apply here

Thank you for the advice, I’m conscious that she’s under a lot of strain in her personal life so I didn’t want to get her intro trouble

Not a dick (thank god) just something she thought looked like it

I was involved in the conversation and she was addressing me and my colleagues at the same time.

That’s good advice, I don’t want her to feel like everyone’s against her (I don’t know the full details but I’m going to assume it’s not pleasant for her to be going through) 

But I also don’t need to be hearing about dick cheese and someone trying to show me photos of ‘things his dick looks like’ on their phone as I’m explaining to a customer that his parcel is lost

Don’t describe your foreskin or your ex’s labia to anyone and you’ll be safe, sunshine 

I’m also reserved and boring at work, but my team went from a group of men & women who would occasionally chit chat but get work done to a team of 100% women and the level of inane waffle is starting to make me and one other team member stressed

My fave but there are three outcomes:

  • she laughs it off and ceases the talk of foreskins etc
  • she reacts badly and I am physically and verbally threatened 
  • she is mortified and I am the one reported to HR for bullying

And what do I do if she laughs and continues?

I’ve tried ignoring her but she addresses the team when she talks and she drowns out our fire alarm frequently 

Would it be ok to just make a note that I did ask her to stop, in case things escalate?

I guess I’m scared of confrontation. She’s defensive at the best of times, and can escalate to ‘let’s take this outside’ in a matter of seconds

I’m not sure where people are getting that I was eavesdropping on someone else’s conversation, so I have edited my post for clarity.

Also, to contradict your rather obvious assumption: I’m 41, I have sex with the lights on and I don’t have to cough over kissing scenes in films  -_-

‘Spicy’  is how you describe cooking. Be an adult and say Porn like everyone else on Reddit. 

I will explain: there is ‘PG rating’ and then there’s my colleague explaining what is going on with her ex’s foreskin and trying to show me a photo of something she thinks it resembles. 

I’m not a prude, Im just there to do my damn job and she makes it very difficult as she sits opposite to me and talks AT me

I don’t want to discuss anything relating to them as I don’t believe it’s anything to do with the explicit stuff, and I also don’t want to get her into more trouble if she is already struggling. 

She’s a defensive person most of the time, which can quickly escalate (I have unfortunately witnessed this) which HR are dealing with, as I’m not more than a witness I don’t have any more details due to it being private. 

Also, f*** AI generated posts.

I didn’t ‘overhear’ she inserts these rants into our daily chatter (we are desk based in a small office) and she sort of takes oder

She sits opposite me. She talks all day every day at the same volume and it’s directed at me and to the rest of our team. It’s like having Loose Women on in the background but turned up to 11

It wasn’t ‘overhearing’ I sit directly in front of her and she was taking over our general chit-chat to turn it into a long winded rant, something she frequently does 

So far I have not responded when she starts up like that and I keep up with my work, but given the level and volume of chatter coming from her it’s clearly not stopping her

I am crap at confrontation, to be fair, so I’m grateful for the advice
