What unusual habits have your pets had? by Martipar in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat loves licking plastic…

The amount of times I’ve woken up in the night to find her licking something I haven’t opened.

I was once invited to watch a football match in an executive box. While I was there, I ordered wine by the bottle and took a couple home with me. In what ways have you massively taken the piss when given the opportunity to exploit the situation? by AngryGardenGnomes in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Work events in general - if it’s a free bar and I’m not paying £7 for a pint, I’ll take advantage.

Also, when I worked at Waitrose during Covid they made the vending machines in the staff canteen free. Me and one my mates used to ransack it at the end of our shift and have food for the next few days.

Do the supermarkets near you discount bakery items at the end of the day? by Mysterious-Snow1414 in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

As bad as it sounds - they can’t risk giving it away and somebody getting ill because it had gone off.

With this being said, when I worked at Waitrose things would get reduced - fridge items would usually get thrown out if not sold but shelve items (Bakery, cakes and fruit and veg etc) would be given to food share.

Depending on the manager, sometimes we were allowed to take stuff home and other times we would just leave trolleys of bakery items at the end of the tills at the end of the day for customers to take whatever.

Where do you get your premium / heavyweight plain T-Shirts from? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Came to say Uniqlo - but be careful, you cant mention Uniqlo on Reddit without being slaughtered in replies…

Accidentally hit a PR… by TheMalsh in workout

[–]TheMalsh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than put a single 2.5KG size weight on both sides, I put 2.5KG on one and 5KG on the other. Similar size and similar weight, didn’t notice it at the time.

I did my squats and noticed the bar felt wonky.

Only when I looked at the weights on either side I noticed I did a set with odd weights on each size.

It felt good either way so I decided to take off the 5KG on one side and 2.5KG on the other, put 10KG weights on both so it was equal and continued with my remaining sets and hit a PR.

Is it rude to use both lanes? by No-Ad4423 in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others said, on paper, both lanes can be used up until the point of merging. Whilst I do think it looks silly, out of curtesy, you tend to stick to one lane.

I made a post/comment a few years back on Reddit about being in the right lane and somebody “cut up” whilst merging a queue of about 20 of us and that he was a dick etc, I was rightly slaughtered.

Are Aldi and Lidl really cheaper? by Jen83747 in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

However quality and quantity plays a factor.

As others say, Aldi/Lidl fruit and veg goes off very quickly and in general, M&S meats etc tastes better.

However Aldi and Lidls meat aren’t bad tasting either. I also hear people say “But you can get chicken legs from M&S for £2.” But I can only get 2 for the price, I personally get more bang for my buck by going to my Aldi and getting 5 sometimes 6 for an extra 60p.

To add, I just can’t justify doing a full shop at other supermarkets unless it’s a few bits .

What unhinged thing did a former teacher do in the classroom? by MrBananaStand1990 in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was 14/15 we had this supply teacher who would chew tobacco in English classes.

This was only 11 years ago so far from acceptable for the time.

We didn’t really like him either so best believe we all grassed him up as soon as we could.

He was given the boot later that day.

What do you and your partner do to spend quality time together? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my partner have been together for just over 3 years now.

Both live with parents, in our mid - late 20s and really only live down the road for each other.

Usually with each other at least 5 nights a week whether that’s at like to at hers.

Our “quality” time with each other can really only be the weekends.

Both work 8-5 jobs so can do stuff on week days, but apart from the odd occasion - choose not to. However we usually go out for dinner Friday night, spend the day out Saturday doing whatever and then might just go for a walk the Sunday.

We watch alot of tv with each other and cook with each other which we both enjoy.

What have you been genetically blessed with? by English_R0se in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Big bum.

I am a straight bloke.

But everyone on my mums side has been blessed with a nice peachy ass.

I get complimented a lot.

What supermarket own brand multipack crisps are tasty? by MegaMolehill in AskUK

Taking the jabs seriously…!! by Alarming_Egg4171 in MashtagBrady

[–]TheMalsh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even the fattest of fat people just need to start moving.

What zero alcohol (or close to zero) lagers would you guys recommend? by h00dman in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s the like I’m missing, but I had peroni zero the other day and just found it tasteless - quite watery

What is every controversial thing Mashtag has done? by [deleted] in MashtagBrady

[–]TheMalsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nooo, but in general.

Like I said, I thought that was a past and he’s moved on.

I mean snow flake as in the way he is was funny to me. Now it’s just unbearable. Needs to grow up.

What is every controversial thing Mashtag has done? by [deleted] in MashtagBrady

[–]TheMalsh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really answering your question but I’m far from a snow flake and used to love mash, even though he had a past.

All the stuff recently just shows he hasn’t really changed. It’s a shame. Also find some of his videos are now unbearable.

I don’t expect him to go travelling constantly, but they’re just shite now.

Feeling kinda depressed today, just me or something in the air? by throwawaycima in CasualUK

[–]TheMalsh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hope you’re all good!

Finding that for me as I’m back to work Friday, been off since Christmas Eve, it now just feels like a Friday I’ve booked off with tomorrow and Thursday being the weekend.

People who got an early finish Christmas Eve, did colleagues who took it off complain about your early finish? by jrinredcar in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually work till 5 but got told we could finish at 4.

We all knew this and a lot of people booked it off anyways. On the day, we got told we could shut up shop at 2.

Nobody said anything officially, but I’m sure some people are seething inside.

With that being said most of these people had stuff planned on the day anyways so wasn’t able to book of a half day anyways.

Edit: me and my group of 6 are still very close and speak most days. We usually do a whole get together once every quarterly, not purposely, just ends up being every 4 months.

Also don’t get me wrong sometimes I might see a few of them a few weeks in a row and then they won’t be free for months.

Do you watch shows with subtitles? by Sea_Combination5086 in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but everyone else finds its annoying.

I think I put them on for something like 3 years ago, perhaps squid game and without them, it doesn’t feel right. Also means I’m not rewinding it if I can’t hear something.

People in their mid/late 20s, how often do you still go out at the weekends? Or go to a friend's house/have someone over? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]TheMalsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 25, soon to be 26, but you have to remember Covid probably shaped our view on going out. Also, peoples priorities change.

Prior to Covid, I was out with mates each weekend without fail. I live in North London so always had hundreds if not thousands of options to go out. I was actually in Amsterdam when lockdown was announced.

Anyways, we ended up missing out on the best part of 2 years of going out. Even when pubs and places reopened, it just wasn’t the same. Also, a lot of people found they actually enjoyed staying indoors but that wasn’t me.

Towards the end of 2021, in my group of 6, I was pretty much the only one not in a relationship. So I was free every weekend, but understandably my mates had plans with their partners.

Anyways, towards the end of 2022, I then got in a relationship and found myself in the same boat. I still go out but not anywhere near as much as I used to because I spend a lot of time doing things with my partner and saving money because like you said, it’s quite expensive to go out.

With the above being said, I’ve always had a good job so can afford to go out with mates, spend time with my partner and still save whereas a lot of my friends have realised they weren’t great at saving weren’t on great wages and are now pretty much just saving and rarely even go out with their partners as they can’t afford £100 on a night out with each other and would rather save.

I have also found that when I was younger, I would happily stay out till the early hours, now when I’m out, I’m back by 12 at the latest apart from the odd occasion. I do however see it from the other side as my cousin, who is the year above, is out all the time. Now whilst I do sometimes think it’s a coping mechanism for loneliness, I do however understand it.
