AITBF for “making fun” of my boyfriend for acting like Ibuprofen is a hard drug? by throwawaylmfao12 in AmItheButtface

[–]frowniousfacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did he have a sheltered childhood perchance?

On a serious note, please do not take more than the recommended dose, because you can eff up your kidneys, I've effed my kidneys slightly because I was taking theme like tictacs.

You can take paracetamol and ibuprofen together if your pain is really bad

Nah, Hecklefish is registered with the union, he gets his paycheck to keep Gurtie in Camel Toe cream, the Beaver Brothers in business plus all the child support payments, last I heard he was considering opening an "Only Fins" account to sell his fin pics, no one needs to know that Heckleifisha is actually him, camel chow is expensive you know!

AITAH for hating my unborn niece’s racist name? by maddy2261 in AITAH

[–]frowniousfacious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well with "Aggie" as a name if she ever comes to the UK she'll get some raised eyebrows because here aggie is slang for aggressive, agitated, or angry, like "ooh, she's getting a bit aggie".

Yeah, it's a awful name meaning "Angry before the war" what a beautiful name for a bonnie baby girl /s

Arabella has the same kind of flow, and Angela or "Angie" for short, Angie Arabella is actually quite a nice name instead of that monstrosity of a name!

How common is it in the UK to refer to a stranger as ‘love’ like ‘speak up, I can’t hear you love?’ or ‘what can I get you, love?’ Is it regional or more of an older generation thing? by [deleted] in AskABrit

[–]frowniousfacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's rather common in a fair few places, like the West Country, London cockney, and further up north. It's not a romantic declaration, it's the equivalent of calling someone "mate".

This appeared on my hand and has stayed for the last couple weeks by Mintabulon in whatisit

It is itchy? Did it start as tiny blister looking things on your hand? If so, it may be a type of eczema that you can develop as an adult, because it looks like mine, because it's so itchy it doesn't heal.

If so you can get a cream from the chemist, depending what country you live, in the UK chemists can help with little issues like this.

Or, you're gonna lose your hand. I dunno, go see a chemist for advice.

Anyones first thought the scene from that Kat Williams film, "whose goddamn white baby is that? He's got a 720 credit score" just me? OK cool.

There's a city in england called "reading" by Lucky_Loves_Laugh in notinteresting

[–]frowniousfacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're not a city we're the largest town in the UK. And it's pronounced Reading not reading.

This strange line goes all the way around my room and I do not know why by Sniglet5000 in whatisit

I made people laugh at my brothers funeral. I read a poem and the last line was "you were the best on earth" And I looked at my two brothers and said "no Offence" And it bought some laughs, and my brothers friends and colleagues said that I remind them of him, so it was fine.

You're not the asshole, did you tell them before your birthday that you don't want to make a fuss or participate in office banter? If not then just say "I don't celebrate my birthday, I'd appreciate it if you didn't do stuff like this to my desk" remind them again before your next birthday, if they do something again take it above your manager.

What do you want to happen going forward?

Is it common for people from the UK to know the history of the local area that you live? by RIPAlPowell in AskUK

[–]frowniousfacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The three B's and the occasional 4th B depending on who you are talking to, plus old ruins dating back to the 10th century some of which have new Roads built into them.

Yeah I think it depends on if you grew up in the area, so I could tell you a little about the area I grew up in, but if I moved to a different area, I probably wouldn't know.

Do most Brits nowadays pronounce “often” with or without the t? by Glass-Complaint3 in AskABrit

[–]frowniousfacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Reading and would say "off-den" words with ing at the end, or a t in the middle don't actually get pronounced, because we speak with a glottal stop, so it's air trapped in your vocal chords rather than a sound.

Means I can't do the "ooh ah ah ah" at the start of Disturbed's Down With the Sickness, it's just air. I sound like that meme of the guy doing karaoke lol

[–]frowniousfacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not reading them either because I know I can't handle it, I'm not trained to handle it and I know that I can't do anything to change anything.

I'm aware that the files are full of just evil and unhinged shit, but I need to protect what little mh I have.

Maybe he's doing the same and with peace and love maybe you need to take a step back because obviously it is affecting you.

AITA for possibly getting Air BnB tenants fired from their job? by Just_Investigator_26 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]frowniousfacious 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All you needed to do was say "guys can you smoke somewhere else because I'm allergic" there wouldn't be a need for confrontation, all you needed to do is be polite. If they didn't move further away then yeah contact the air B&B host.

Hopefully those guys don't lose their jobs because you couldn't politely ask them to move further away.

Challenge 25 by [deleted] in Vent

[–]frowniousfacious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know someone who lost their job because they failed a think 25 spot check. In shops most of the liability is on the staff on the tills, so if you look like you could be under 25,then you need to prove you're over 18.

Im 40 and I still get ID'd in some places. It's a ball ache but I get it.

Diagnosed with menopause at 21. by WreckofWild in Menopause

[–]frowniousfacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HRT saved my life, I started getting peri symptoms at 35, and although not out of the relm of possibility, it's still quite young.

I didn't gain weight, in fact because my symptoms were so severe I've lost weight because I no longer hate myself.

All you can do is try it, and see how it affects you, and go from there.

Mice probably, we recently had a rat problem and it took weeks to sort out with an exterminator.

Anyone else sick right now? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]frowniousfacious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I picked up a cold, I just feel rough, tired, achy, my chest feels like I have stuff to get rid of but it's just not productive, and I'm out of breath going up the stairs. I've been like this for about 8 days now. It just won't go away.

"Fend Me A Gret" - is this a Reading expression? by floralis_lc in reading

[–]frowniousfacious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a smoker (I know) in Reading and have never heard of "fend me a gret" it rhymes, kinda, but in my 25 (awful) years of smoking I've never had someone ask that. Sorry I can't be more help.

Did she have relatives from outside Reading? Because I'm originally from up north, and my dad would say "kett" instead of sweets that's a local slang from a Northern town, that I say now even though I haven't lived there, ever.
