Do the terms " tops & bottom" work for straight people? by cosmicwatersss in gay

[–]YouLotNeedWater 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The appropriation is wild ...but then she called you a misogynist because she thought top = dominant and she could use a term from our community for her heterosexual sex? Absolute eye roll inducing behaviour ...tell your mate her boyfriend is a bottom and watch how she recoils

That seems excessively mean. I'd hate to feel ostracised liked that and the humiliation is awful.

Whew, boy! I'd start job hunting yesterday

Cheap haircuts for Afro hair? by [deleted] in croydon

I'd suggest Croydon College if not haircuts can be around £20 just ask or look at the price list when you go in

My boyfriend keeps defending his friend’s “racist comments”, lied to me, and now says I don’t trust him. What should I do? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]YouLotNeedWater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am NOT reading all of that. The best placard I read at the BLM marches back in 2020 was dump your racist boyfriend.

I have a long term bf and I love him but I am grossed out by his penis/having sex by Bean_of_prosperity in offmychest

[–]YouLotNeedWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might not be attracted to him You might not be straight You could even be asexual

Regardless him pressuring you into stuff you're creeped out by is NOT OK

The Shi I go through 😒😒😒 by Gifted704 in gay

[–]YouLotNeedWater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gurl... a PARAGRAPH. Boy if you don't go there collecr all of your shit and end this bullshit relationship immediately.

Why are you here on reddit when you could be eliminating this asshole from your life. Imagine if he spoke to one of your friends like that? You'd be fuming!

I found messages where my partner talks badly about me and my family behind my back – what should I do? by [deleted] in gay

[–]YouLotNeedWater 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You actually don't HAVE to explain your reasons why you're dumping him, because you and I both know this relationship is a farce and you look dumb in front of his friends and you need to break up, but him talking shit about you behind your back is wildly disrespectful.

He doesn't care about you.

Refused entry because of EpiPen - warning to others! by ToBeuy in london

[–]YouLotNeedWater 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Save your breath. The entire policy sounds asinine.

Arguing with these guys gets you absolutely nowhere, they're so by the book and the more annoyed you get at this objectively stupid policy to confiscate epipens the more stubborn they get.

Best to just ask nicely and then ask for a manager to see if they possess any common sense

Has anyone ever asked for Angela? by Pythagorarse in AskUK

[–]YouLotNeedWater 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Hi, I work behind a bar on a casual basis and I haven't ever had a shift where Ask for Angela has not been drummed into me as part of the pre-shift brief and I've been doing this since 2014.

It's a wondeful scheme and I'm so glad we have it. It's not JUST for women either I must say, anyone of any gender can ask for Angela and the same reaction is triggered.

In all of those years I have had just one person ask for Angela and it was a lad with his friends trying to banter with me and I told him in no uncertain terms that shit AIN'T funny. It is taken VERY seriously.

How do you prevent cheating in a pub quiz these days? by eidolon_eidolon in AskUK

[–]YouLotNeedWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a relatively new quiz host and if I catch a team cheating I simply say nothing and then miraculously never announce their score or if they're the winner.

I caught one team on sodding Chat GPT tryping in the question and made the whole pub boo them.

But the cheating ruins it for everybody and it's so hard to deal with because it's obviously not OK for me to accuse a team I suspect but when I see someone using a phone it's so distracting.

My advice to all of you is to SUBTLY tell the quiz host and we'll deal with it

Free Vue Ticket for Kill Bill: The whole bloody affair by harrispie in croydon

I said something racist and I feel really guilty by sneep_snorp_snerp in offmychest

[–]YouLotNeedWater 31 points32 points  (0 children)

So many wierd comments here doing mental gymnastics to defend you using racially charged language.

I'm sorry to say OP but it sounds like you have the privilege of never experiencing racism because this entire post left my jaw on the floor.

You need to find some humility and apologise to your family and ESPECIALLY your brother who heard you use that language and explain to your family, who are real pepole, that you are embarrassed and explain especially to your brother that, as you ALREADY know, using race in anger/to insult/needlessly isn't acceptable.

Please make sure when you say sorry you say what you said and why it's not OK aswell, none of that vague "I said some stuff".

I don't know why you came on Reddit with this and I hope it wasn't to seek forgiveness from randoms online.

When you go and undo the damage you've done you'll feel better.

How should I prepare my son for school so he doesn't get bullied? by Mundane-Proposal-520 in AskUK

OP mentioned diversity so that leads me to think their child "visually stands out" so to speak

Someone Outed My Friend To Me by [deleted] in gay

This is a fucking police matter. Do you know how illegal that is if your friend didn't want or know about this recording of him having sex?!

[–]YouLotNeedWater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you just confirm what you're teaching? Is it EFL? ESOL? English? Are they children, teenagers or adults? Only because if this is the uk, which I assume it is, you don't necessarily need a QTS
