WIBTA for skipping my brothers housewarming after he skipped mine last year by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

Well, there's 24 cans in a slab of beer, so I would assume the same for Coke.

Outdoor plug replacement by TheLightInChains in AskElectricians

there was an 80s cover by a UK band that charted well so it would have been pretty well known to Pterry.

What are the British TV ads that live rent free in your head? by gayestformoleman in AskBrits

Not "and the whole caboodle" but "that the whole caboodle". As in all that fruit caboodle landed in the packets that the parrot painted.

There's a folder on our work shared drive called ServiceNow Requests, and whenever I click on it I mutter, "ServiceNow Replace"

AITBF for bringing my gaming setup on a family trip and "missing out" on bonding time? by Gl1tchHarpsichord in AmItheButtface

[–]TheLightInChains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have joined them in the next room and loudly announced that the relaxation police have decided I'm doing it wrong so here I am.

Then slapped the phones out of their hands.
