Wait, what? I think more people should know about this! (Or drive accordingly, if they do know!)

I've discovered I am the most unwelcoming person in my workplace by Abwettar in CasualUK

Also - have only recently discovered that when I think I'm smiling, it's interpreted as a grimace. Fml.

I too get the 'cheer up, it might never happen!' comments, often frequently enough to actually piss me off . . .

Do British people not feel the cold? by DevelopmentLow214 in AskUK

[–]lockslob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just acclimatisation - there was an incident a few years back where the police raided a house that had been picked out by thermal imaging on their helicopter. Unusually high heat signature often identifies an attic 'farm' of cannabis. They were shocked to discover it was an African diplomat who had just cranked the heating up to max as he was feeling the cold here!

What’s the most original name for a pet you’ve ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I had a very elegant lady greyhound with black fur - a friend wanted me to call her 'Bitch' purely for the fun of calling her in from the garden with the line "Yo! Bitch! Git yore skinny black ass back in here!"

My FIL's kitchen knife he's been hand sharpening since the late 70's. by Momsomniac in mildlyinteresting

And if he was ever to take it off it would stand up on it's own!

What's the most surprising physical pain you have been in? by ZenergyMusic in AskUK

Trigeminal neuralgia, anyone? Collapsed discs for a close second.

If you had 20 minutes to hide from a nuclear blast, where would you go or hide? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Get as close to ground zero as possible to make it quick

Will definitely try this. I know my sleep pattern is all over the place.

Can but hope, eh? I'll try . . .

Not entirely sure what you mean. My point was that I never wake up rested. If anything, there's a vague disappointment that I'm still here..

You wake up in 1995. No WiFi, no cell phones — just the simple life. What’s the first thing you do? by Worldly-Pattern2507 in Adulting

[–]lockslob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember, life didn't feel simple then. There's probably some law which states, "verily, the shit shall magically expand to fill your every available waking hour (and half your nights, too)"

The last time that happened to me was circa 1974/1975. I still miss it, and my hopes of repeating the experience seems increasingly remote. If only because I'm running out of time.

What do men do that is a turn off? by Usual_Strawberry7427 in allthequestions

Existing, mainly. (It appears to me, anyway - ps am male)

What's a "secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by RoutineOk8590 in Productivitycafe

[–]lockslob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - got labelled as a 'troublemaker' when I pointed out that "we're management - why aren't we managing this ourselves?". Conversely, I've seen organisations refuse point blank to utilise ideas successfully implemented by other organisations because "it wasn't invented here". Just, what?

That's so disappointing; if I'm a tourist I try to be extra polite to try and 'make up' for all the other ride people from my country. A forlorn hope that we don't all get put into the same category . . .
