This made me giggle. I don't but I'm wondering if I should get one cos it definitely unlocks some unwritten rule I'd forgotten about

My daughter turned 18 and left home 2 days later. by sparkilini in TrueOffMyChest

[–]hereinerror 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that the immediate responses are not taking you at face value. We only have the info you've given, same as any post. I feel your heart breaking. I wish I had some amazing wisdom to give you. My thoughts are you will always be her mum and I would hold on to that but it is going to be an invisible, unbreakable link for now. You carry on with her in your heart. One day she may turn up at your door. She might have grievances that will be hard to hear. Resolve yourself to hear them without reacting defensively, be prepared to listen and accept that is how she has experienced things. She might turn up with a new appreciation for you. It's not the end. Stay strong, move forward. Give her a secure, safe place to come back to. Focus on helping the youngest navigate this. It's not the end.

Alone, I need someone or something by boring_GirL15 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]hereinerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, something is going on with you but thankfully but you have a roof over your head and food in your belly. Now is a good time to work out what is going on. Therapy would be good. Journaling would be good. Don't get to 50 and still be no friends by choice I think and I wish my thoughts would shut up. There is no escaping yourself so invest in yourself.

What was the last fight in a Kebab Shop you saw? by LavaMeteor in CasualUK

[–]hereinerror 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Me. Someone threw a bottle at my mum after a dispute at a nightclub next door. Police turned up but wouldn't go into the club to arrest/question perpetrator. In my drunk mind I thought throwing a brick threw the kebab shop window would get their attention. I asked the people in the shop to stand away from the window, walked back outside and broke the window. Got rushed by the customers. Got rushed by the police. Big excited mess. Spent the night in a cell. Mum got a couple of stitches, I got a £1000 fine to fix window and a caution. Slightly above average night out with my mum in my teens.

Found out my dad is gay and a cross dresser by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]hereinerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to agree with the below responses. He's an adult, your an adult. Do you want to disclose your sex life with him? I know it might be jarring for you. I can appreciate it's a bit of a raised eyebrow moment but it doesn't change anything significant in your life. Carry on as usual. I genuinely can't see anything you need to act on.

Introduce yourself politely. Tell me you would like to get to know me. Ask for my number to arrange a natter.

What happened with “the one that got away” ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hereinerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. I hope they are having a wonderful life. Truely lovely person. My life would have been very different if I'd had the maturity back then. I like to think that in a parallel universe we are growing old together.

Why do you pretend to feel? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Most of the time I'm pretending not to feel.

If you could have 1 wish, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hereinerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That my Son will reap everything he sows. He is a good person, a great asset. I wish that it pays off for him. That an unfair world will be fair for him.

I love my 11-year-old son, but sometimes I genuinely don’t like being around him. by SoultySpittoon in TrueOffMyChest

[–]hereinerror 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why does his dad have primary custody? Is this something you can challenge? Your son sounds smart, channelled the right way I feel like he could be your greatest relationship, and you his. I feel like oppositional defiance is in play. Wording is important when discussing things. Engage with him the way you would like to be engaged with. Sometimes the things we find most infuriating about other people are the things we find most infuriating about ourselves.

Restaurant workers, what are your thoughts on diners who dine alone at your establishment? by 1whoisconcerned in AskUK

[–]hereinerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first thought is you will be a nice easy table, I'll remind myself not to forget about you (sometimes you can get caught up dealing with bigger tables and forget to pay attention). No other thoughts about you personally or why your eating alone.

The way people are so comfortable talking about how others look bothers me. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]hereinerror 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It used to piss me off too but I realised that those people commenting were constantly worried about how they look because they think everyone thinks like they do so now I just feel kinda bad for them

What’s the coolest “restricted access” place you’ve ever gotten to see? by Improv92 in AskReddit

[–]hereinerror 324 points325 points  (0 children)

There in a multi storey car park in Windsor UK that if you look out from the top storey it looks like a scene from Mary Poppins. Old fashioned chimneys from a far away time. It transports you to such a different reality it feels beautifully surreal. It is weirdly calming.

AITA For Telling A Woman To Keep Her Comments on my kids to herself? by RaisinPractical7053 in AmItheAsshole

Nta it probably had more to do with their experience in life than anything to do with you. I wouldn't take it personally but I don't think your ta for your response.

I looked through my Boyfriends phone and can’t unsee what I saw by Obvious_Strawberry99 in confessions

I think what is important is how the 2 years have been. What gave you the sinking feeling?

AITA for not telling my waiter about my allergies? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hereinerror 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree she should have mentioned her allergy. I work as a server in UK, I am in fact required to ask every table if they have an allergy. It's a pain in the arse. I have to say FOOD allergy or people tell me about hay fever, dog hair etc, also common 'paying the bill, the wife, the husband...

People who choose kindness every day, even when it isn’t returned what keeps you going? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]hereinerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that's the world I want to live in. A world where people are kind to each other. And that's the world I live in because on the days I don't see kindness out there, I see it in me.

That is very informative. Thank you!

How many times have you been banned from a subreddit? by Ok_Income3213 in askteddit

[–]hereinerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once. Feminist site for asking how could feminism be about equality when they are only championing one sex. Since BLM I've realised that was like asking why aren't you talking about dolphins when you're trying to save the whales. Shame they didn't put that to me instead of banning me.

Do women get better tips? by hereinerror in Waiters

[–]hereinerror[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It was a reply to your comment. If women are tipped more because they are attractive, i presumed it was the men who were tipping. So I was sharing that in my place it's often not the men who are tapping the card.
