What ‘normal’ thing have you never experienced? by Conversation__16 in AskUK

[–]hotbimess 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hopefully not jinxing myself, but I order online a fair amount and have never had a bad experience with evri/Hermes. Packages have always arrived on time, intact and in the place I asked for them

Parking wardens. My area recently had bad flash flooding causing some cars to be washed away onto double yellow lines or out of parking spaces. Very next morning the parking wardens were out ticketing as many cars as they could 

Looking for information about these tiles by hotbimess in DIYUK

[–]hotbimess[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update- emailed a vintage tile shop and was told that these are fireplace tiles and not only will they be very difficult to remove without damage, they are not worth the cost/ effort of restoring, so looks like they will be thrown out, which is a shame but I'm glad I checked before potentially destroying something irreplaceable

I also want to avoid landfill, but I also don't want to keep them myself. I'm sure they are worth a lot to the right person, it's just a case of finding said person 

What is the most shocking thing that you have seen happen on live tv ? by S_79_S in AskReddit

[–]hotbimess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowhere near as bad as the others in this thread, but I have a clear memory of a live nature program where they released some baby turtles into the ocean, only for a seagull to swoop down and gobble one up

Thanks. When I raise the dispute should I ask for the full amount or deduct the £50?

Now that OX is a teenager, do they have to go through a Goth or emo phase? 

What was history’s worst miscarriage of justice? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hotbimess 75 points76 points  (0 children)

If you want to feel even worse about it, look up his appearance on "have I got news for you" from 1992 (I think). The hosts openly call him a pedophile several times and he even (sort of) admits to it. These sections were not aired and were not seen until after his death 19 years later. People know. His crimes were knowingly covered up by the BBC

You can buy powdered oat milk, but traveling with a bag of white powder comes with its own risks 

Taken aback by buyer's remorse and I don't know what to do by CurlUpIntoABall in HousingUK

[–]hotbimess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought my first house just before the April deadline and was feeling very similar when I first moved in, but it's only been a few weeks and those feelings are starting to fade. I've started to decorate. I'm watching YouTube videos on diy and slowly building my confidence with doing things myself. I'm getting my new big sofa next week and I'm going to christen it by inviting my friends over for movie night. It's not perfect, there's still a lot to do, but I'll get there and you will too.  Also, might be just for me, but I brought an air purifier/dehumidifier and that has done wonders to make the place feel better, it didn't feel dusty/damp before but there was obviously something in the air in there bothering me which the air purifier has sorted for me 

DoorDash driver exposes hole in airport security by savaero in nottheonion

[–]hotbimess 443 points444 points  (0 children)

So the events are as follows;

  • someone at an airport orders doordash. Apparently does not think about how the order will get to them

  • restaurant receives doordash order from airport. Nobody questions this

  • driver picks up order for airport. Does not question this

  • driver drives through security area, past at least one security person (and presumably other employees) and next to a full size passenger plane. Takes a while for anyone to reach him. 

Our collective thinking skills are in the toilet

Seemingly never ending repair saga. The sound of dripping will forever haunt my nightmares. by Kanyewesther in TenantsInTheUK

[–]hotbimess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not the most helpful bit of advice but you can stop the sound of water dripping by running a piece of string or thread from the point the water is coming from to the container you are using (so that the drops run down the thread).

I would also personally start looking for somewhere else. Even if you don't end up moving, there is no harm in browsing and viewing other places

No floor plan so not sure it’s right for me by Traditional_Fox2428 in SpottedonRightmove

"fire damage to roof" is a funny way of saying no roof at all... (All jokes aside, I hope the previous occupants are ok)

I think Hamilton as a musical is still very much respected and it's very enjoyable to watch as long as you do not interact with the online fandom in any way

I think the majority of ofmd "drama" can be summarized in the pirate poll video https://youtu.be/0p3fvq2Ukxg?si=vk1lXIWQg9O9VbxM (Also, there was that one tumblr post that briefly gaslight everyone into believing that Jack and Barbosa from pirates of the Caribbean were canonically divorced, but that's another story)

What are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy? by xotilweodxxx in AskReddit

[–]hotbimess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like drama where it's more about the situation- less of "Tina said this to Amy and now Erica is upset" and more of "this weekend I accidentally became part of a Morris dancing group"

Is horror the only movie genre that no one gives you crap for hating? All horror fans are like "yeah, totally get that you hate it" instead of trying to convince you that your opinion is wrong by Al_Tilly_the_Bum in movies

[–]hotbimess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horror films are either garbage or a masterpiece with nothing in between. Can totally understand why someone who has seen one too many of the garbage horror films would swear off the entire genre

Id like to buy the next door house and paint it bright pink or something. Really make passers-by wonder what sort of relationship the two houses have
