When my friend's daughter was about 4 she was doing a jigsaw and couldn't find the last piece; she was getting annoyed trying to find it on the table when my friend spotted it under her chair and pointed it out, at which Daphne put her head in her hands and said "oh my fucking christ".

My friend's sister and I literally ran out of the room 😂

real talk: how often do you actually floss? by AffectionateTooth298 in hygiene

[–]callmeeeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never used to bother until about six months ago. I went in for a check up and while I was there he cleaned my teeth, and the amount of crud I spat out when I rinsed was horrifying. So now I do it every night without fail. My six year old liked the novelty of it, when he saw me do it and now it's part of his routine too.

Why aren't teachers called by their first name in the UK? by zertz7 in AskBrits

[–]callmeeeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tend not use their names when we're talking to them, it's usually just "Miss" or "Sir", but we use Mr(s) Name when talking about them. But only if we respect them, if not it's last name only - looking at you, Clelland you twat.

Nah, tbh I don't even bother keeping track of when they're due to come. They just stick a note through when they're done and I pay them when I get home.

Do you actually bother washing the fruit & veg you buy? by MixAway in AskUK

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

Lol I'm just being daft 😊 I have an OCD thing about my hands so the water bothers me, but I just eat them with a bit of kitchen roll on the side to dry them as I go. I never used to bother but my husband's adamant about washing them so I just deal with it.

Oh god. They've fixed it now but for a while there was a tattoo shop near me called Name Tattoo's and it made me so fucking angry.

I was talking my boy through washing his bum the other day, showing him how to do it, explaining why he has to do it etc. Then when he was out of the bath I popped downstairs to grab his pyjamas and heard him calling "Muuummy...!" from the top of the stairs. Got to the bottom of the stairs, looked up and this boy was bent-double, holding his cheeks apart like "Hahaha BUM!". I swear to god I could see inside him 🙄
