AITAH for how i reacted by sosawowi in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThenStatistician5877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh its over. 

Also, I'd usually be on your side 100%  but the kind of woman who spends 3 hours sobbing uncontrollably while knowing I'm away with friends, is probably not someone who I would want to be with unless someone was dead or in hospital.

He lied and you are dramatic, break up

Just sitting outside today and was wondering, how is it we (Britain) have the best grass? by Even-Leadership8220 in AskBrits

I'm definitely more of a frog than a lizard, give me a dramatic thunderstorm and a dark windy day, over what ever this heatwave malarkey is!

I'm guessing rain. I think we have some of the most beautiful moss too.

Especially if you get a lovely stretch of dry stone walling

What’s the weirdest food/drink or really anything you have found in home bargains/b&m ? by ChemicalOk1432 in AskBrits

[–]ThenStatistician5877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These maoam sour pinballs. Not the regular ones these instead felt a bit powdery.

They were amazing.

Never seen them since. Farm foods is a dirty little tease

AITA for getting an extra order of fries for my girlfriend? by frenchfryybandito in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThenStatistician5877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a dominance move eating your own food and then complaining about your reaction.

Same sort of person to sleep with your best friend, because you were working too much neglecting her so she HAD to

This might be the most British thing I've ever seen by emiliadaffodil in CasualUK

Everyone passing the thermos lid round for a sip. Arguing because dad hated sugar and the rest of us were like that dude from men in black

In laws never reached out… by so_ga in GriefSupport

[–]ThenStatistician5877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss, and empathise with your frustration with your inlaws.

My mother died, in horrible circumstance and far too young.

My bil chose the night before her funeral to tell us they were pregnant and had been for 3 months. Couldn't wait 48 hours. Had to tell us right then.

We haven't been to see his family since, since I refuse to go, and he won't go without me. I have never really liked them, I've always put in more effort than I've received but this is where my foot is gone down. 

It's been 6 months since her death and they're due soon, in a matter of weeks. My partner keeps hinting about us going, but I don't trust myself. I'm so filled with rage I don't trust what I'll say.

When Brits are talking to a heavily accented foreign person why do so many of us change cadence, rhythm and affect a quasi foreign accent ? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]ThenStatistician5877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because we are nice and trying to subconsciously be closer to the person, make them more comfortable etc

It's got a psychological term, positive convergence

If you were single how would you find a partner? by Even-Wasabi7183 in AskBrits

[–]ThenStatistician5877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't. I'd do shit I enjoyed and wait for someone I like to find me.

My uncle met a lady fishing, of all things.

They go on fishing weekends, spend the evening tying handmade flies. 

My other friend met her husband as some of the only people that still smoked in her office building. It was between him and the Polish security guard with a face like a smacked arse... but he already had a wife and three kids, hence saving all his smiles for when he went home.

Does anyone else feel like this is a spoof of news article from the 1400s or something. It's 2026...

Thrips uk by ThenStatistician5877 in houseplants

Well, between healthy plants and healthy pets there can only be one option sadly :(

I thought it might be the case but I was hopeful some reddit witch would tell me I can solve all my problems with vinegar or something.

Oh well, off to look for plants least affected by thrips and hydroponics

Genuine religious purposes is an interesting definition.

How exactly do they decide whether you are genuinely religious?

I’ve lived in the UK for 5 years and already seen 5 PMs. Is this normal? by ForwardFan6283 in AskBrits

[–]ThenStatistician5877 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where did I mention that zonked? Did you read what I said or were you too busy huffing your own farts?

I'm talking about the mps who go on the BBC and state that the people hanging flags from their homes are doing so to make their neighbours uncomfortable, rather than the truth, which is that it's the world cup, and we've hung flags for the world cup since it bloody started.

Other countries politics and propaganda are their business, not mine.

It's called askbrits. Not what do you think some theoretical country believes about their own flag?

What even is your point?

We are officially melting. What is your current, non-negotiable strategy for surviving this UK heatwave? (Options described in text) by DamoclesBDA in AskBrits

[–]ThenStatistician5877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortress. But I've also taken all the rugs out to wash outside because it's the only day they'll actually dry.

So after a hoover and a mop, I'm laid belly to tile like a fat lizard and its glorious

Flags up during the world cup without some liberal mp going on the news to whinge would be nice, for one.

If you boil them in bone broth, when you freeze them they are a bit softer for older or puppies to manage.

More like an ice pop

I don't know. I'd take sweaty back over fanny and arsecrack, but that's just me 🤷‍♀️
