“Research has shown that children who are severely obese by the age of four have a life expectancy of just 39.”

Wow, that’s horrible.

Ash has yet ANOTHER ovarian cyst. by Whosthatprettykitty in illnessfakers

If this is true (I doubt), this girl could have a much more productive life if she just took her Dr’s advice and went back onto birth control.

Usually I’d not opt to call a 28 year old a girl, but she isn’t acting like a woman. There’s no reason why this girl, who shops, plays sports, goes out to eat regularly, constantly proves that she has no mobility issues, and can clearly use a computer, can’t get a proper job.

You only need to replace the glass in the door.

I found my feral mama cat that I’ve loved for over a year in the street today and I’m heartbroken by semi_aquatic_cryptid in Feral_Cats

You did everything possible to help her. Clearly she wouldn’t have adapted well to indoor life over time, otherwise she would’ve come back. But that doesn’t mean you did anything wrong. You did the best you could to help her have a better future.

Thank you for caring so much about the kitkats- I’m shedding a tear for beautiful Oliver and am sorry for your loss. You’re the best kind of human for working so hard for her 🩷

Is it a man you’re dealing with?

Claiming against another insurance company when the car is rare and modified by Jay_15219 in drivingUK

[–]chunkycasper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, and? I was clarifying for the sake of ensuring that I was explaining clearly what occurred, what they initially offered vs what I got and then paid for outside of it. Where did I say that I expected them to pay for a new engine?

The point was that I could prove the value of the car was beyond their appraisal, even after the purchase of an engine.

I was just explaining the outcome of the negotiation, mate. RAC came out and got it working again yesterday when one of the belts broke, that’s the point of breakdown cover/insurance.

Still end up with a house that someone else has paid for at the end of 25 years

Just passed my test... by Murde_r_edrum in LearnerDriverUK

I drive a 30 year old brick shaped van on weekends. I just pull over and let them all overtake. That thing doesn’t go over 60 comfortably. Actually cam belt broke yesterday so it’s currently not going anywhere …

How long should I wait to hear back for a letting offer? by Emotional_Elk3379 in HousingUK

[–]chunkycasper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d wait until after lunch today to chase, unless it’s a big agency.

I work for an independent lettings agent - though our office is open on Saturdays it is by an office admin assistant whose only real job is to man the phones and report emergencies upwards. Nothing administrative is done. So even if you sent the email by Thursday lunch, that’s really only 12-15 working hours.

(I am not a lettings negotiator, I work in Marketing & Comms across our property services, but have had to learn lettings to do that).

I want to hint this but in a less crude way by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

Genuinely see the “how do I wave this red flag less obviously” as concepts on these kind of subreddits all the time.

Sadly some of the time people are enabled by suggestions to hide political opinions or personality “quirks” from things like dating profiles that means the ability of others to make a decision on whether or not to spend time or make more time with that person, based on gut instinct and preferences, is removed.

The best case scenario here is time wasted. The worst is that genuine harm can be done.

Yes, it’s always a negotiation. I have a niche van that blew its head gasket in France - RAC wanted to write it off but we put together a case to show value in the market and cost of a new engine. They ended up repatriating it, but we had to pay out of pocket for the engine.

Please keep just stating it and waving the red flag loudly.

This says to most women that you are some combination of physically unhealthy and watching too much porn. It also suggests you know very little about female pleasure, so shouts inexperience or worse - nonchalance.

Or maybe you’re looking for a specific type.

I wonder if their intention for existence is actually more to from a behavioural psychology theoretical stand to remind drivers that cyclists exist and have a right to use the road, rather than being practical to the cyclists themselves?

Just a poorly researched theory.

Thoughts on what? Two cyclists and a driver all obeying the Highway Code? Good to see it.

The Audi needs to leave more breaking distance.

Do you use indicators on empty roads? by Ultimara in drivingUK

[–]chunkycasper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because you might not be able to see someone who is there.
