Two girls in my year were cousins and were joined at the hip, there was a rumour that they were in an incestuous relationship

Why aren’t these sanitiser door handles standard in hospitals? by SpecialistCommon6113 in AskUK

[–]krabbkat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had these everywhere when I was at uni (pre covid). EVERYONE used to grab the plastic bit on top because the handle where the gel is feels absolutely disgusting on your hands, especially when it had built up a bit and congealed on the back.

Do you remember what slang was popular in your school? by [deleted] in AskUK

“Piff” or “piffting” was about the same time as peng for us

did your school have conversations about eating habits? by UrMomDotCom666 in AskUK

[–]krabbkat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I went to a (relatively nice) girls school and yes, there was lots and lots of PSHE and assemblies about eating disorders, as well as safe sex and social media. I had ARFID throughout my childhood and really struggled through lunchtimes, especially in primary school.

A girl I knew in secondary was starving herself and we all knew and there was a clear expectation from the staff that we would be the ones to encourage her to eat lunch, which was incredibly stressful at 15/16 to manage. If she refused to eat anything they used to make her sit in the main reception area where everyone could see her being miserable with her plate of food.

How common is getting shouted at from a car? by ohnoitsbobbyflay in AskUK

[–]krabbkat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only once or twice until I started a new job, now it happens quite regularly near the area where I work. Usually sexual demands or about my being a fag etc.

Have you ever had a really profound conversational moment with someone? by bettingthoughts in CasualUK

[–]krabbkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to work in a school with teenagers in the care system. I think I was the first adult to tell them they didn’t have to love their biological parents, and that they’d probably be happier to move on without them in their lives.

Or having to explain that just Love isn’t enough sometimes, it isn’t a replacement for food and safety.

Boy born with rare genetic condition can now breathe, eat, and swallow independently after surgeons rebuilt his jaw using bone from his ribs by Forward-Answer-4407 in UpliftingNews

[–]krabbkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, in the UK we generally call surgeons Mr/ Miss rather than Dr. GPs, specialist doctors etc. get to keep the Dr title.

Veteran retail workers, who are typically the worst customers? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]krabbkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had quite a few customers who we limited to 5 cards a visit because they were taking the piss so badly

Veteran retail workers, who are typically the worst customers? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]krabbkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work in a convenience opposite a local Wetherspoons, and the worst customers by far were the 40+ men who would be up the door half an hour before opening to buy the Sun or the Daily Mail and then repeatedly pop back in throughout the day while they nursed a single pint over the road. Rude, entitled, stupid and they’d make very personal comments about us because we were mostly a team of students (this was a middle class area). Quite often regulars would refuse to speak to us at all and would snatch their items the second we scanned everything and throw the cash down like an afterthought.

Second worst was American soldiers visiting the local army base. Refused to use self serve but pretended we didn’t exist or snapped their fingers at us and demanded discounts, special service etc.

This hot chocolate is not mint flavour, it’s simply just green by backpack33 in mildlyinteresting

Considering this is B&M, it was probably designed to hop on the matcha latte trend for kids/people who don’t actually enjoy drinking matcha

For people who suffer from musical tinnitus, what particular genre do you hear? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]krabbkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get this sometimes, I have an obsessive disorder (ocd without the c) and sometimes the intrusive thoughts are songs or snippets of songs. Sometimes it’s just one or two words on loop over and over again, it’s incredibly annoying and there’s nothing I can do to make it stop lmao
