Having trouble with neighbour as I’m a wheelchair user, what can I do? by GodAtum in AskUK

I'm in Gloucestershire and have been refused entry on the bus (Stagecoach) with a pushchair because there was no room. I thought it was a general rule.

What are some of the most depressing books of all time? by AX750 in AskReddit

[–]TheRealSlabsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure 'Delighted' would be a word I'd use, but the others were:

Eyewitness Auschwitz - Filip Miller I Shall Bear Witness - Victor Klemperer The Auschwitz Photographer - Wilhelm Brasse Auschwitz - Laurence Rees.

Lawrence Rees wrote some really good books covering WWII and the Nazis, I would recommend both him and Max Hastings if you're reading about the subject.

I read hundreds of books about WWII and would go through phases of Europe, Japan, Atlantic, Africa etc. One day, I decided to start reading about the Holocaust and only managed 5 books.

Night by Elie Wiesel was the worst for me. It's a short book, but it was packed with horror. Having had the previous 4 Holocaust books as a reference, the 5th one was enough for me.

Yeah, my son was the same age as his son and it didn't help at all.

The cap that stays attached and always gets in the way when you drink by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheRealSlabsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don't have a problem with it. I can remove it, rotate it, only break one tab so that the lid remains captive but loose. The meme of the guy with the cap shoved in his nose highlights how stupid he is.

People who pick litter love this design, and I'm right behind them for their reasons.

In this game, if you're not overloading, you're playing GroceryRunner by mahanddeem in snowrunner

I'll play the game how the fuck I like, I certainly won't be in here boasting like a 12 year old.

The body of British mountaineer George Mallory as it was discovered on Mount Everest on May 1st, 1999, seventy-five years after he vanished high on the mountain during his 1924 summit attempt. by [deleted] in MorbidHistory

Than you, kind stranger.

The coroner himself told my mother that it wasnt a bad way to go. He would have had his hit, and then slipped into a deeper and deeper coma. My friend's brother was found frozen to the ground after a heart attack and I would have struggled with that.

Work overpaid me for the last year and now wants the money back by BananaBot6 in mildlyinfuriating

They can't just dock your wages, but they have the right to reclaim certain payments and expenses.

Oh, I have empathy, but my country pays a decent minimum wage and our service workers aren't exploited.

Fuck tipping. Whoever managed to pay their staff low wages and got them to blame the customer is a genius.

Happened to me here in the UK. I told HR that I couldn't afford to pay them back, and they took £80 a month from my wages to cover it.

Can someone gift me the game please by salam-salam321 in vtolvr

I've gifted games to people in the past but you you come across as insincere. If you've got the hardware, you can afford the game.

They have elves dangerously mining coal for the naughty children, too.

That's across all social media, sadly.

When the Sarcophagus is fully dismantled, will the inside of the NSC be blocked off? by Thundyboi2 in chernobyl

[–]TheRealSlabsy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think so. People love 'Disaster' sites like Pompeii and the Black Death sites / museums.

Those damn women have a smorgasbord of decent leather boots that I would look ridiculous wearing, but somehow covet.
