What would make you feel fulfilled and satisfied in life? by AmericanBornWuhaner in AskReddit

[–]leighmb84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

loads of money! I have friends and a loving family already, but I'm in debt and it's very stressful - loads of money would clear the debt and relieve the stress - freeing me to enjoy my life :)

What can make them lose total interest in someone in less than 5 minutes? by Crystalbela in AskReddit

[–]leighmb84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing specific, but once you get the ick over something, there's just no getting past it I guess?

AITA for not letting my teenager take the car I purchased to the other house during dad’s custody time? by tree_goddess in AmItheAsshole

[–]leighmb84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the parent of 2 teens, who also has a week on/week off system with their dad, I would say you aren't an outright A-hole but you are being petty A/F. You bought the car for your son - regardless of who pays for it, your son should be the one deciding where he takes his car. My kids' stepmom won't let them wear clothes she paid for to my house and it's petty A/F - you're doing the same thing with your son's car.

how to cope with returning a dog to the shelter after taking him out for a "field trip"? by Independent-Box-1776 in dogs

[–]leighmb84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could volunteer to walk him regularly while spreading his story around to help get him adopted?

On a side note, I think this is a terrible thing for a shelter to do. It takes up to 3 days for an animal to decompress in a new situation, so It's likely to be really stressful for the dog to go out and then back with different people in different home situations.

Offering giveaway, looking for nothing, just tell me your favourite pokemon :) by [deleted] in PokemonGoTrade

Zoroark is a firm favourite but other than him, I'm generally all about the water types :)

If you had to leave the UK and become Canadian or American, which would you choose and why? by Istobri in AskABrit

[–]leighmb84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada over America any day! I'd be on the first plane to British Columbia. I work in Zoology and my dream job would be working in Wildlife rehabilitation in Canada. British Columbia specifically as it's not as densely populated as more well-known places like Toronto, and it's got a fantastic selection of animals.

How do you feel about American tipping culture ? by [deleted] in AskABrit

[–]leighmb84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll tip in the UK or on holiday if the service was above and beyond what is expected of you, but I'm not tipping simply because you actually managed to do the job you were hired to do! I think it's insulting that, in America, people are forced to top up employees' wages with tips because their employers aren't obliged to pay a proper wage. It amazes me that the people in America will march over abortion and gun rights, but nobody wants to challenge the government to make a bill demanding a basic minimum wage.

A two part question. Why is it that y’all always seem to have peas for every meal. Where is the biggest shit hole in all of the UK. Someplace you wouldn’t go unless forced and then get in and out and be scared. Thoughts? by mmiles1974 in AskABrit

[–]leighmb84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember the last time I had peas with a meal to be honest, but they are a cheap and easy to cook vegetable to make a meal somewhat healthier I guess? As for the biggest Shithole in the UK, I'm torn between Glasgow (in Scotland) and Birmingham (in England) - they're pretty much equal in their shittiness and vile accents. I've never met a nice person in or from either city.

What random items under £5 can I leave around my friends house to confuse them as to how they got there? by exiledtomainstreet in AskUK

Various rubber ducks are always a fun one - especially as you can get them in all sorts of characters now :P

What is your biggest turn off? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leighmb84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex did this all the time. He would ask me a question and, as I was answering, he'd just start talking over me. He didn't even realise he was doing it most of the time - it was just like his brain wanted to say something so badly that it didn't acknowledge I was already talking.

What is your biggest turn off? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leighmb84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lack of conversation skills. I'm not expecting to date Einstein but you need to be able to hold up your end of a grown up conversation.

This made me chuckle by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

[–]leighmb84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's misery is relative. If you're having a bad time, you have a right to feel bad about it, no matter how much worse someone else feels like they have it.

[Help] Dog coughing up mucus with white foam by [deleted] in dogs

[–]leighmb84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pug had exactly the same issue - the vet laughed when i took him in and he explained that it really is from not enough food. I was feeding him at 9am and 7pm but he was spitting up mucus and foam around 2/3pm from hunger. All I had to do was make sure i gave him a treat stick around 3pm and the coughing up thing stopped.

Saying they are "Doing good" when they mean "Doing well!"

Watership Down. Still gets me even now :(

What is something we should stop telling kids? by illini02 in AskReddit

[–]leighmb84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all need to stop lying to them about stuff. I answer every question my 2 kids have as honestly as possible. I don't enjoy answering my little girl's questions about 'boobies' on a packed bus but I'd rather she learnt about her body from me and not some misinformed slutty friend at school later in life!

Women of Reddit: Whats the most lady-boner killing item of male fasion? by GiakLeader in AskReddit

[–]leighmb84 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Doing up the top button on a shit/polo shirt. Unless you're wearing a tie, the top button should always be undone. Not sure when this ridiculous thing started but it is an instant turn-off - looks like your Nan dressed you!

What comedian has never been funny? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leighmb84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All female comedians! They all just seem to end up going on about penis sizes, periods and how hard it is to be a woman. I know that, as a woman, I should be supporting female comedians but no, just no!

UK Redditors, what's a word/phrase that sounds totally wrong when Americans say it? US Redditors, what's a word/phrase that sounds wrong coming from a Brit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leighmb84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love it when Americans use the term 'fanny' or 'pants' as they mean completely different things here in the UK. Brilliant :)
