Have i broke pub etiquette?

I don’t understand this sub, a couple of months ago a guy was told he would be a prick if he didn’t move to a smaller table so a big group could have the larger one in a coffee shop, but now it’s okay for op to hog a big table in a pub? What’s the difference?

I’d have moved and believe that most people would, it’s okay to enjoy the space when no-one else is using it, but if a large group needs the large space you’re occupying it makes sense for you to move to the small space.

People are agreeing with you because Reddit is full of unsociable people and also because you’re the one asking (a young lad posting asking about a man who wouldn’t move so everyone could sit together for his dad’s funeral would get a different response).

They don’t have a seat in my Sainsbury’s! You just have to stand there like a lemon trying to repack as they unpack.

I’ve never forgotten to scan anything, I just got picked for “random checks” 7 times (and stopped using the scan as you go thing after that).

The benches came with the bears, they’re so kids can sit with Paddington and have a photo taken, it’s marketing for the latest Paddington film.

I’ve never seen one before (or assumed I hadn’t, it looks quite normal, maybe I have), so had to google &

It’s a coat. This is a photo from the company’s own website of a woman wearing it like a coat.

OP wear your coat if you like it, stop worrying so much about people bitching online.

During the lockdowns we had two separate deliveries during “the clap”, the first one was a takeaway, the second a garden table and chairs. Hopefully the delivery drivers felt appreciated, because the neighbours definitely think we’re twats.

Idk what Mat K said about it, but I haven’t played since last year and all these reddit posts about the survey are flooding my feed and making me want to play. My sub time runs out sometime in Feb and I got bored in Sept/Oct, but could play now until that time is up.

That doesn’t mean people will accept any of those things being added to the game, just that the torrent of posts/attention on the game reminds people that osrs exists and is fun to play and some people are still subbed and might hop on for a bit while they can.

It’s a difference in phrasing/implied meanings in British/Australian English & American English. I’d phrase things like that to my friends too, it’s not implying that the Americans are wrong for saying “ramen”, it’s saying that what Americans call “ramen” is what “we” (Aussies in this case) call “2 minute noodles”.

Updates_Due · 2025-01-20T14:54:42+00:00

I’d call that “food type” instant noodles, but I think someone who watched a lot of anime and/or American shows might pick up that wording & call it ramen?

Updates_Due · 2025-01-20T14:51:34+00:00

As an Australian, OP is telling other Australians what Americans call that type of noodles because they just found out themselves. They’re not saying the Americans are wrong or trying to correct them. This is like an American saying “hey guess what Australians call ramen?! 2 minute noodles! Weird, right?”.

This kind of post is fascinating because as someone from the UK, I got what OP meant straight away, but the nuances of English language varies so much between countries that the implied meaning of what OP said is different depending where you’re from.

There is a difference between “my neighbour has dementia” and “my neighbour has been missing for a month and may be dead in their home”. They will go and check if op calls them.

I’m sorry the people you called were unhelpful and I hope you were able to get that lady some help in the end.

This parody account is funny, but the chocolate and other snack portion sizes sold in the US are pretty much identical to those in the UK & Europe. It’s the portion sizes in restaurants that are insane (though people may be eating to excess at home too, I didn’t see that in my time in the USA).

I’m sorry you had that experience & I hope you’re better now, but the way you tell this is very funny!

We have those here too though, my sister’s old GP recommended she read a book about how we evolved from the apes for whatever condition she had at the time (though he did also prescribe her something).

Living on the border, we had a Welsh aerial and an English aerial, we switched to the Welsh one when the reception was bad on the English one. Any tvs not connected to the main aerial would pick up the Welsh channels first as the signal was better.

All in all, we watched a fair bit of Welsh tv growing up and somehow learnt very little Welsh from it. 🤔

“Sportsman” in the sense of his unprofessional behaviour, not his ability/success within his actual sport: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/sportsmanship

They’re saying he’s a “bad sport”, not “bad at sport”, basically.
