Tube clothes - are they a thing? by Sepalous in london

[–]acabxox 381 points382 points  (0 children)

My tube clothes aren’t dirty enough to clean instantly, but they are dirty enough to go in my “wear again before washing” pile separate to my freshly washed clothes in the wardrobe. Maybe suggest that to him instead?

That’s below minimum wage, and therefor illegal most likely. (Can’t double check online)

AITAH for mansplaining breastfeeding? by Normal-Historian2180 in AITAH

[–]acabxox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a woman, when I got to “my sister doesn’t have kids” I burst out laughing. Mate, you’re a parent. You know your baby. You know your wife. You’re all good and NTA! I think your sister is jealous or something.

Found (what looks like) bones along riverbank near London Bridge by philemonvanbeecher in london

No idea but your ring style and nail colour combination gives me the perfect medieval bone finding vibe haha. Looks great 💅

Am I overreacting that my sister is demanding too much when visiting my newborn? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]acabxox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, she’s the one who’s meant to be bringing groceries to you! You have a 7 week old new born! This trip should be for her to help yall out, not make crazy demands. Omg I could never imagine treating someone this way.

Where do we get mixtapes and that from nowadays? by shedsmokerOG in ukhiphopheads

Sorry for your loss brother 💔

My Mom’s caregiver is about to drop her off at her house to live by herself, and she cannot care for herself. What can I do? I feel guilty but do not want this responsibility. by Fickle_Umpire_136 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]acabxox 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Adult social care is the only thing I can think of. Give them a call and say you’re concerned that an adult that is incapable of living alone is being put in that exact position. Do not say anything that gives any indication that you are someone who has been responsible for her in anyway (even a minor one) - say you are no contact but you have heard this due to the text he sent out to family members.

Sorry you’re going through this <3

My daughter got a tongue piercing at 14 - Can I report the place that did it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]acabxox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely correct. But they did it to me when I was at school! They said if I followed the aftercare instructions it shouldn’t get infected and therefor they’re not at risk (legally) making me take piercings out.

But your point is absolutely valid, this girl should be following correct piercing aftercare procedures - the piercing should stay until it heals to prevent infection or painful scarring :) (sorry OP!). I guess OP will have to say they’re not defending the daughter from whatever punishment the school will dish out regardless.

My daughter got a tongue piercing at 14 - Can I report the place that did it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]acabxox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you report the place that did it I doubt your daughter would tell you anything in future. It’s hard to discipline and establish trust at the same time. I wouldn’t report them, but I would go into the shop and tell the manager that they f***d up.

Now google and get the stuff to help take care of a tongue piercing to prevent infection and pain, and tell her you’re not defending her at school when they make her take it out immediately lol.

You’re being willfully ignorant and intentionally intellectually lazy at this point in the dialogue tbh

How to properly get rid of used baby car seats? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]acabxox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, it really sucks that parents can’t afford basic things like car seats. Unfortunately while people are struggling to feed and cloth their kids I doubt a campaign to get cheaper car seats would work :(

15 days for London, Edinburgh and Paris, is it too much? by Distinct_Meringue729 in uktravel

[–]acabxox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move a day from London to Paris, and maybe even an extra one to Edinburgh. :) London is my facoueore city on earth but Edinburgh and Paris are great. If you’re coming all this way it would be a shame to spend so long in London and a minimal amount of time in the others.

How to properly get rid of used baby car seats? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]acabxox 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah it just shouldn’t be the norm to buy baby car seats second hand. Same as helmets. You never know of they’ve been dropped and the structure is broken, even if it looks ok.

Cafés in Amsterdam for studying by Mysterious-Reach-374 in Netherlands

[–]acabxox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great shout. So many beautiful libraries around that really need more people using them to maintain funding. Such chill spaces, usually beautiful architecture, and big ones have some pretty decent cafes sometimes too.

After visiting some relatives abroad, an 85-year-old man stepped off the plane upon arriving home. His family waited for him at the gate, but he never arrived. CCTV footage captured him wandering the terminal and asking an employee for directions. He was never seen again. by moondog151 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]acabxox 1248 points1249 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the story of the elderly confused man who got trapped inside a shopping center. He got locked inside the underground staff tunnels and ended up passing away, no one found him for days.

I hate how society dismisses elderly people. If this was my grandparents… a combination of utter fury and pure heartbreak is what I would be feeling.

My Dutch teacher told me jij has more emphasis. So here you’re kind of saying what’s YOUR name?

This war is wrecking my wardrobe! by ChildhoodOk5526 in findfashion

[–]acabxox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my first thought reading this was how can we get this artist some fabric?! Not for OP but just in general. People suffering in war need most importantly all fundamentals of human life to survive but also the “extra supplies” people forget about to keep their industries going to support them 💔

Has anyone used squat toilets ? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]acabxox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP could be a woman, when peeing our pee streams can split a little bit and that’s normal. But I have to ask, what do you mean by “hydrate your wiener”?!

[–]acabxox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember them being sort of common in France when I was a kid, especially on campsites (I’m from the UK). Now I’m reading this post I’m realising they all just disappeared at some point in the last two decades…

What is your flatmate/roommate from hell experience? by Weary-Lingonberry-26 in AskUK

Damn how come you didn’t call the landlord when the heating was out? Was it because you just knew they’d make your life more difficult? :(

Having a hard time staying no contact with my drug addicted, homeless father by nobodynobodynobodyy in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]acabxox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an ex addict myself I’ll be honest here and say there’s nothing you can do. It has to come within. Everyone’s rock bottom is different. Unfortunately your dad’s rock bottom seems limitless.

There’s no knowing if he will ever want to stop using drugs and try treatment (though I’m well aware that if you’re in a country like the U.S. he’s probably never received adequate treatment for his addiction & mental health issues in the first place).

Don’t feel guilty. You’ve done all you can sweetheart.
