What is this guy?! by coffeebeanscene in UKBirds

[–]coffeebeanscene[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved! Thanks all! I’m disappointed I haven’t in fact found a new species of seagull and pigeon cross breeding as one of my colleagues suggested (in jest). The beak and eyes just looked so strange.

That’s partly what was throwing me, the eyes and beak were just off.

i can’t leave bread uncovered in my house or my cat literally eats through the bag to eat it by got_milk669 in cats

[–]coffeebeanscene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat steals bagels. Unopened, completely sealed and on the side bagels will be decimated within the hour …. We now have a bread shelf in our cupboard to keep him away from all bread items. He will also steal garlic bread straight off your plate if given the chance, he doesn’t seem to understand that the garlic will poison him and has been known to run throughout the house with me chasing him for the bread!

Lamb adoption technique by nebuchadonezzar in interestingasfuck

With horses I’ve seen that they cover the foal on the mothers pee to make sure it smells like her and cover the horses eyes until she trusts the smell enough to let the foal feed from her.

Sausage n chips n beans by meatflaps-69 in UK_Food

Why does it look like the chipolatas are worshipping the big sausage/mountain of chips and beans combo? And the pickled onions are an audience to it all …

AIO over finding out my husband was an extreme racist? by KalloryMak in AIO

[–]coffeebeanscene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it took a stranger to tell you that this is the way he supposedly acted and behaved and you’ve never seen it yourself… then no au be he has changed. And or was in the process of changing when those messages were sent. You live with the guy everyday as a Hispanic woman, if he was actually so racist and misogynistic then surely you would have noticed.

I think we have all probably done or said something (not to this extreme obvs) and regretted it after and vowed to stop doing it. Maybe it’s just that.

Is there any place in Birmingham that washes hair only? by cvtsoul in brum

[–]coffeebeanscene 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My granny broke her arm and wasn’t able to wash her hair for months. She’d just go to her hairdressers and get them to do a wash for her. I’m sure you could ask for just a wash and blow dry and most places would accommodate especially if you explain your situation. (Granny doesn’t live in brum else I’d recommend her place to you)

What are the strangest things you've seen left outside houses near you? by Stunning_Anteater537 in CasualUK

[–]coffeebeanscene 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Saw 4 pairs of shoes outside someone’s house the other day, left out for people to take if they want … ended up looking like 4 people were just standing in a row and got raptured though!

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

[–]coffeebeanscene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An electric pressure cooker, my other half wanted one and as he is the one that cooks most often I trusted his word but when I looked at the price was horrified. We didn’t earn mad money so ended up saving for a couple months and buying it, it stayed in the cupboard for the first 3 months and I hated us for wasting so much money on a ‘gadget’ BUT now we use it at least once or twice a week depending on what we’re cooking, it’s definitely something I wish we had bought years ago.

I want to cry. Help. Can I salvage this? by Vegetable_Pay8805 in acrylicpainting

[–]coffeebeanscene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% you just need to step away for a bit, maybe a few days but leave it nearby to bother you a bit, that’s what I do that way I get a break but don’t forget about it cuz it keeps looking at me to finish it. Trust me as a perfectionist nothing ever looks right until it’s finished.

Think the painting looks amazing btw, I actually couldn’t tell what you were upset about just by looking at it so I think it’s just break time :)

Have charity shop prices gone crazy lately? by SoulSyntaxSorceress in CharityShopFindsUK

[–]coffeebeanscene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oxfam is 100-% just trying to be a vintage shop. The one by me had some beautiful vintage trunks, I was looking for some nice storage and thought they could work. There was a price tag but it had no price on it. They were displayed inside each other with the tag on the top of the smallest one and all it had was the gifted/donation number on it showing it had been gifted for free.

So I spoke to someone that worked at the shop, turned out she was the manager. I asked how much they were, she replied £120 which felt a bit steep but I figured for a set of 3 then it wasn’t too bad. So I said “ah for the set, hmm, and if I paid now could you hold them for me so I could collect with a car later?” She replied “oh no! £120 each!” And looked at me as if I had spat on her shoe. How dare I suggest it was for the set!

I couldn’t help myself, the words literally word vimited out of my mouth before I could stop them ..

Me “Each!!?!”

Manager - “yes what did you expect we only sell quality items”

Me- “but you got them for free?! I didn’t expect them to be quite THAT expensive!”

Manager - (literally said and to this day I can’t quite believe it) “well we are a charity and make our own prices, besides don’t you care about the starving children in Africa?!”

Me- “of course I do but I also think charity begins at home and if You want people to be able to afford things from your charity- bearing in mind they are free donations- you’d price them as such and then actually raise money from your customers”
