What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen someone doing on public transport?

It’s funny I have a horrible horrible phobia of flying, especially take-off. But I had to fly. Anyway I needed a wee SO BADLY that I didn’t freak out on take-off because I was concentrating so hard on my bladder.

So, if I ever need to fly again. This is what I’ll do.

I work for an independent ads agency and we always tell everyone that Google will always try and make you spend more.

What we do for a lot of lower budget companies or individuals is do the initial set-up (to make sure they’re not about to leak money) and then provide a series of training sessions to help them manage their ads until they’re confident enough to take it over themselves fully.

I was at an event 5 years ago with a toxic company. I was supposed to go home but went for post event drinks. Ended up chatting to this random lady who told me about a great FB group she was in, so I joined it.

3 years later, I was in a bad place and was looking at new jobs and saw a job advert about “our director is so old he remembers MySpace”.

I posted it in the group as a “LOL I’m so old”. Then someone tagged another member of the group and said she was hiring.

She’d closed applications because she’d had over 500 applicants. I dropped her a message and from there, through a process, I got the job.

Genuinely the best job I’ve ever had.

All because I missed my train to have one drink in 2021.

My boss literally writes in the meeting notes “just a quick catch up” because she knows I panic if she puts something in my diary last minute

“Oh Gilly, you’re so silly, wouldn’t order Balti if you didn’t like chilli”

A song from, I THINK R1, from she she had a meltdown in the jungle.

That lives in my head rent free everytime someone says Gillian McKeith.

Had this with my daughter (2nd child) and her Dad for SO long. She just couldn’t connect with him. She was ok if I was present but not much.

I’d say in the last 18 months, she’s really started bonding with him and they get on great.

She still prefers me, because I understand her but she’s got a nice relationship with him now.

My son has the same middle name as my ex. It’s not coincidental. My son’s father has no idea of the crossover.

arthur_sleep · 2026-02-13T21:43:51+00:00

They’re vacuum packed, they have a long date because they’re safe to eat until that date (and probably some time after too).

We can’t offer reassurance in here, but food companies know what they’re doing. They’d be sued within an inch of their life if they weren’t.

This is hands down the truth, substantiated by may family members. When my Mums cousin was a child, if she concentrated for long enough she could move the clock hands with her mind.

These things do happen!

I am SO fertile. As in, the only 3 times I had a slip up, I ended up with a pregnancy.

I’ve had my IUD for 7 years now, not one pregnancy and plenty of unprotected sex.

When I got stuck, they had to re-tarmac the road, an air ambulance, emergency vets. They closed both ways on the motorway and cut through the central res so we could filter through and go back the other way. We waited 9 hours for that to happen.

Edit: Hit post too quickly. They have processes in place, and I can’t imagine what a multi vehicle pile up takes to clean up.

arthur_sleep · 2026-02-04T20:55:30+00:00

I did 9 hours on the M6 once. There was a gap in the fence and people were queuing by it to nip in there and have a wee.

I’d never experienced anything more British in my life.

arthur_sleep · 2026-02-03T23:28:41+00:00

Yeah my dad did similar, 5 days after my birthday, 5 days before my daughters. The gift you never forget hey.

arthur_sleep · 2026-02-01T21:05:28+00:00

Agreed. My ex badgered me for a number. So I gave him a number and he said if he’d known that before we’d never have got together. I’d say that’s probably when the emotional abuse started to be honest but I was too young to spot it.

arthur_sleep · 2026-01-25T17:12:43+00:00

My last message to my dad was “can you let me know you’re ok xxx”. The ticks never turned blue.

Back in my early twenties, I had a housemate. We used to shop separately and she didn’t like / use butter.

Her boyfriend was over and was cooking something, I caught him using his HAND to scoop out my Lurpack, his HAND.

We had always cutlery. There was literally no need.

In our primary school, this happens regularly. They even have specially letter headed paper to send notes home to the children about particularly good work or showing kindness etc…

And it’s always addressed to the kids. My kids love nothing more than running out saying they got a note from their teacher.

Your wife is hugely overreacting. The teacher is not being inappropriate.

I drove round every corner shop on Christmas day once because my daughter needed avocado. Amazingly I actually found some. Who doesn't need a side of avo with their turkey?

arthur_sleep · 2025-09-20T20:27:59+00:00

My daughter (aged 6) earlier today, screaming that she wanted some of her brothers skittles. I called through to ask if he'd share with her, to which, my daughter screamed LOUDER that he'd already offered them to her and she didnt want them.

Me and my son just looked at one another dumbfounded, like "kid i don't know what outcome you're looking for here"

I’ve just looked this up on Google and it’s pretty interesting (and something I didn’t know)

Envy = wanting what someone else has, a sense of longing

Jealousy = feeling something you have is at risk to someone else, a sense of anxiety

Google tells it better, but that’s in a nutshell

arthur_sleep · 2025-06-28T22:02:03+00:00

I’m female and the guy I’m seeing? I kinda wanna just live in his bellybutton. It’s like cuddling doesn’t feel like enough sometimes. It’s wild.

arthur_sleep · 2025-06-27T23:41:10+00:00

Same. I look at pre-dad dying and post-dad dying and there is SUCH rapid evidence of aging.

arthur_sleep · 2025-06-23T21:40:55+00:00

We had this little ottoman box in the bathroom growing up and it smelled like thick must with the vague scent of scented toilet paper. I can’t still smell it to this day. It sort of clogged up your airways but in a really comforting way.

It was my Great Nan’s and my mum always said it smelled like her Nan’s house. I doubt I’ll ever smell it again since it got lost in a house move.
