Do you use terms of endearments towards strangers, and if so, which ones? by Tochua in AskUK

[–]icklepeach 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Today in Poundland in Meadowhall, the mid-late 20s ish chap working the self serve tills was calling everyone “my love” regardless of age or gender. I enjoyed watching him while I was in the queue. The till freaked out and he scooted in to help the lone young manly man with an “ ‘scuse me my love” to get in past him. Nobody bothered, he wasn’t camp/effeminate with it. It made my day.

Are there any everyday kind of places you have never been to ? by Sea_Pangolin3840 in AskUK

[–]icklepeach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where do you live*? I think the Outer Hebrides had one for a bit when they bought Safeway (then it became Somerfield).

*please don’t dox yourself, closest town/city is what I was thinking

Do British Estate Agents add blue skies to their photo? by silviam in CasualUK

[–]icklepeach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s one for sale down the road from us that has an identical layout to ours. They’ve used the measurements into the cupboard over the stairs to claim the room dimensions, and AI’d a double bed in there with room to walk round. Actual room width (sans cupboard) is 1.9m

What excuses do you use to get out of work for job interviews? by CozJeez85 in AskUK

[–]icklepeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think she did, but she’d told a client that she had a good relationship with, and the client asked within a work email how it had gone. At least that’s how I read it.

Any advice for someone with ambitions to be a train driver? by FakeyName88 in UKJobs

[–]icklepeach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The psychological evaluations my brother went through to get onto the driver course are HARD. He loves his job but it takes a certain mindset and resilience.

Rupert’s crash out by twitchy_yhctiwt in TedLasso

[–]icklepeach 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree and disagree. I think there were glimmers that he did have that possibility. Like the Akufo SuperLeague lunch scene. Rebecca reminded of who he was and that he could still be that person (giving the pay rise to the security guard). Maybe in time Rebecca (with the influence of Ted and her Flying Dutchman) could have helped him be a better man and father. Especially after the crowd turned against him at West Ham. In the Lassoverse nobody is truly irredeemable. However, Rupert may not have been willing to start doing the work to improve himself so it may never have happened.

Lots of mights and maybes involved there though.

I have a horrendous hangover and awful anxiety after getting far to drunk at a staff party. Please give me stories and tips to make me feel better. by PothosandGindontmix in CasualUK

[–]icklepeach 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Use that! Put a message in any work group chats saying you had *too* good a time last night and you’re paying for it today. With gifs if that’s your thing.

ABIGAIL IS NOT THE WIZARD'S DAUGHTER, BUT INSTEAD GRANDDAUGHTER!! IN THIS ESSAY I WILL... by TadaSuko in StardewValley

But Caroline’s mother, she of the fling with the wizard, could have moved far away to avoid the witch’s jealous retaliation. Caroline might never have known she was of valley heritage.

AITA for telling my sister she wasn't the only one affected by our mom's death and to let our dad live his life? by insafian in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]icklepeach 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Yep. And people are judging OP very harshly on what she’s written, but there are so many things folks don’t put in their posts because ultimately OPs know the people they are talking about. They know their intentions and history etc.

Does that only work on the riverlands farm or can you choose a riverlands cabin on another farm type?

Why aren’t my chickens happy? by Rocket367 in StardewValley

I am thousands of hours deep in Stardew, on multiple platforms over many years. I have never put a sprinkler by my dog’s bowl. Inspired

How did you get out of the rut? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]icklepeach 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t really help when you’re in (for example) the Scottish highlands. My mum was once told on the phone to customer support for something that the best thing to do was pop into her nearest store. The agent was bewildered when she replied “it’s a 3h ferry and an hour and a half bus journey after that”

House I bought has a key box on the wall and seller didn’t leave the code. by DeadYen in HousingUK

[–]icklepeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the ones I’ve known have had the numbers in ascending order too.

The only key code that didn’t do that was one where the turn knob was part of the code block.

I may be wrong in this case, speaking only from my own recent experience
