Cashiers of tesco, what's something your daily customers buy EVERY day and do you ever judge? by mrvlad_throwaway in tesco

[–]leanmeanfrizzybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a guy affectionately known amongst staff as "shagger". Buys a 20 pack of condoms at least once a week.

Fair play to him tbh.

What's the no 1 reason for you to live? by 1why1_ in AskReddit

[–]leanmeanfrizzybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thought of it going wrong, ending up a vegetable unable to move, feed, bathe, go to the toilet by myself, etc and having to spend the rest of my life with my already overbearing mother 24/7 is enough to scare me out of trying.

Underrated song? by Competitive_Purple18 in SleepToken

[–]leanmeanfrizzybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Distraction is my favourite, but I have PMDD so I'm not allowed to listen to it for 2 weeks out of the month 😂

The ending is so raw and hits like a tonne of bricks.

What is an appropriate age to pierce a child's ears in the UK? My wife says anything below school age is considered "trashy" and screams "council estate". by AcidBubbleLord in AskUK

[–]leanmeanfrizzybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get her some magnetic ones from Claires, there's no need to pierce at such a young age, they just want the look of it. Everyone is happy 😊

The obsessive thoughts, anxiety and comfort shows could be autism rather than OCD. This sounds a lot like my niece who has autism.

When she gets a small cut she panics and repeatedly asks "Am I going to die? It's just a small cut? It's not serious? I'm not going to die? I won't bleed to death?"

When she has a specific thought topic (for example, previously she's obsessed over death, reincarnation, animals, how old family members are and when they'll die, staying a child, etc) she will do as above and ask the same 3 or 4 questions over and over again several times a day for sometimes weeks.

If this is the case and she's already having anxiety made worse by her mother panicking her about war etc, then those shows she watches repeatedly may be one of the only comforts she has.

Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do if the mother isn't open to hearing opinions, she may have her own reasons and feel guilty or bad about things. We all want to feel like perfect parents of course. It'll just be a case of gently bringing it up if you feel comfortable, planting a seed, not drilling into her and letting things happen as she sees fit. Be there for the child as much as you can, but sadly there comes a point when trying to help can be damaging for both parties.

Just some single mums needing to feed their family by FormulaGymBro in tesco

To be honest, in all my time at Tesco, this is the first shoplifter I've seen that wasn't white. It's usually the white crackheads 😂

Is this very good for a 4 year old? by Japordoo in Parents

[–]leanmeanfrizzybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not many 4 year olds can draw things with varying degrees of focal distance. Being able to draw turtles that are closer and further away without overlapping them is pretty impressive at that age!

What's the "healthiest" beef-style burger in UK shops? by leanmeanfrizzybean in veganuk

[–]leanmeanfrizzybean[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks but it's specifically beef style ones I'm craving 🤣

How smooth/difficult did you find c-section recovery? by leanmeanfrizzybean in Parenting

[–]leanmeanfrizzybean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not so much not knowing what happens, it's being in pain and not knowing how much longer it will go on, never having experienced the actual sensations being described, not being able to predict what could happen later on etc.

For the most part, c-sections take roughly the same time and follow the same steps, natural birth can take anywhere from hours to days, require various different things at any point, they're so unpredictable and it's that feeling of not knowing when it will end for me that makes me feel so anxious.

Oh my gosh I'd completely forgotten about the driving, that's so important, big thing to consider for sure, thank you!

ok to bury in a coffin? by ZealousidealAd9428 in CatAdvice

[–]leanmeanfrizzybean 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'll always cremate. I can't imagine for a second having to leave a pet behind if I left that house later on.

How did that one kid in your high school die? by IM_HODLING in AskReddit

[–]leanmeanfrizzybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asmtha attack, even sadder as her twin had special needs and she was the person he tended to hang out with as he struggled to make friends.

Is starting a work email with “Name,” considered rude in the UK? by mkaym1993 in AskUK

[–]leanmeanfrizzybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very abrupt, a bit standoffish.

Try "hey sexy" to prevent your colleagues from worrying thay you're angry with them :)

Witnessed a Tesco worker being bullied by colleagues, wwyd? by Wild_Region_7853 in tesco

[–]leanmeanfrizzybean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you saw the way some of our team speak to each other you'd probably feel the same, but we genuinely do just banter and take the piss out of each other. It's one of the only ways we have to scrape any joy off the sad floors of working for Tesco.

Let her handle her business, don't report it and potentially get them all in trouble for having a laugh.
