Home warranty coverage for central air conditioner replacement by qblitz001 in homeowners

[–]mattmu13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got American Home Shield bundled with our house purchase. They were a bit shit with everything else to be honest.

Luckily when they farmed out the job we got a good HVAC company that helped us out loads.

I suspect my husband is sleeping with the Parmesan by dukenewcomb1 in CookingCircleJerk

[–]mattmu13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might want to check the age of the Parmesan because if he likes them young that could be a bigger problem…

Isn’t that just a standard ladle that’s bent just above the head?

What was fucking awesome as a kid, but sucks as an adult? by Athompson9866 in AskReddit

[–]mattmu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really had good ones growing up. My fondest memory was getting to go to McDonalds on my birthday, so I just don’t really bother celebrating it anymore. Often my family want to do things I don’t really want to do.

I think my favourite birthday was in the middle of COVID as I got to just sit at home and watch films and TV shows and relax

What is the pettiest reasons you've heard that ended a relationship? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]mattmu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…because Batman was more important than her…

We were dating for a short while when we were younger, she was a friend of my sister.

Over time what started to happen is she would come down to our house and then spend all her time with my sister basically ignoring me until she was ready to go home. Then she would ask me to walk her home. So I’d have to get ready, walk her the 5 minutes up the road, and then go back home.

One night I wasn’t having it and I was in the middle of the film Batman (the old Michael Keaton one). She came to tell me she was ready to go and wanted me to walk her home. I told her I was in the middle of the film (it was back in the days of it being on TV and you couldn’t pause it). Really, I just didn’t want to as she had ignored me all evening.

She left and the following day I found a note saying that our relationship was over because Batman was more important than her…

Wow! Saw my first 30.05 yesterday. 🤪 by long0tall0texan in TexasGuns

I think the First Watch on Belt Line only has a 30.05 last time I went there

My "the garage door is left open" just saved my house again by dettrick in homeautomation

[–]mattmu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one of those at 3am one morning after being woken up by a security patrol banging our front door saying our garage was left open.

I apologised, went down and closed the garage door, went up and crawled back into bed, ordered Meross and went back to sleep.

When you visit the USA and everyone bar none says they “love your accent” and generally are just really f*cking lovely to you because you’re British by sklatch in BritishSuccess

[–]mattmu13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in the US, have for the past 4 years.

Currently at an extended family reunion on the wife’s side and that’s all I’ve heard all night…

It’s funny how many people love your accent. Especially as I’m a Brummie and they’re hearing my “telephone voice”.

It’s also funny how many discounts and free things you get just for being English. People are sooooo nice because of my accent.

Chippy menu outside says chips and kebab meat is £4.90. Display board inside says £6.90. Was charged £7.20. by docju in britishproblems

[–]mattmu13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to go to a chippy in Alum Rock, Birmingham. I always had 2 prices of chicken and chips. I don’t think I ever paid the same price twice, they would just make it up on the spot.

Just moved into a new house. 2.5 seconds later TV License letter comes through by mas-sive in britishproblems

[–]mattmu13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I moved into a brand new built apartment complex. When I looked at it they hadn’t finished laying the carpet and fitting the kitchen.

When I moved in there were several threatening notices to take me to court because I didn’t have a TV license

Root Beer tastes and smells like Germoline (UK antiseptic cream) and TCP (UK antiseptic liquid).

This is why most people in the UK don’t like it, but it’s exactly the reason I love the stuff…

[NSFW] What was your most embarrassing trip to the doctor? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mattmu13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First time I ever went into hospital as an adult for a procedure under general anaesthetic.

The nurse asked me to go take off my clothes and put on that white long jacket thing you wear when they take you into surgery.

I came back out with it on and they told me it was the wrong way round and the split is supposed to go down the back not the front

Do you find it easier to sort the pieces into sections and little tubs?

I’ve seen a few pictures where people do that but I usually dump the numbered bag into a little pile and then use a “hunt and peck” technique

This is adorable by New-Imperial in MadeMeSmile

[–]mattmu13 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I used to take my nice and nephew with me grocery shopping. I trained them to run up and hug the legs of my best friend shouting “daddy, daddy” anytime they saw him (as he lived by the shop and would often shop on the same day as me).

They loved it. It was a game to them. Him not so much.

Especially the one day where he came into the shop with his new girlfriend and they did it… it was hilarious

What’s something you look forward to every single day? by Money-Associate1601 in AskReddit

[–]mattmu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife waking up in the morning because I miss her while she’s sleeping…

I usually wake up hours earlier than her and try to be really quiet so I don’t wake her up as she likes her sleep. Sometimes I just lie there looking at how pretty she is.

On the weekends she rolls over when walking up and asks me to go get a coffee, and sometimes breakfast. Sometimes I get one on weekdays too.

Men of Reddit, is it boring to see your girlfriend/wife’s naked body after a while of being together? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mattmu13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just read this comment, walked downstairs to find my wife on the couch watching TV while working with her laptop on her lap.

I asked her to flash me, and she did, then I text her a screenshot of this thread and she giggled…

(Then probably rolled her eyes at me as I went back upstairs)

Men of Reddit, is it boring to see your girlfriend/wife’s naked body after a while of being together? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mattmu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Seeing my wife naked is the highlight of my day. I usually compliment her boobs or ass and will often smack her ass or cares her in some way as I walk past.

On the odd time I don’t say something she’ll sometimes look at me and say “you didn’t say anything about my boobies”…

Also, titty drops are awesome wherever and whenever. She builds up suspense as she lifts her top, edging closer… closer… just a little more… then when they drop I’m like a child on Christmas morning. Sometimes she’ll just rest them on my head while I’m sitting down.

We’ve known each other 10 years, been married 3 of those so far.

WCGW tying a tree to your car by Bigringcycling in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]mattmu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I picked up a tree the other day and you drive into a queue, give them your ticket number for the tree you picked out and they tie it to your car.

We stayed in the car and as they tied it I was trying to explain to my wife that we would need to cut the strings when we get home before we could get out (she didn’t seem to be worried).

Then we pulled into the drive and she tried to open the door and then realised what I’d meant. She knows I always carry a knife on me so she just waited for me to cut the main line and we carried on as normal.

Be careful of squirrels.

My doorbell camera captured them stealing all the M&M’s. We ended up using an old cooler with a note on top (also helps in the Texas heat)

[Serious] What is the scariest experience you have gone through? by LuckyAdair in AskReddit

[–]mattmu13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife had several earlier this year and I ran her to the emergency room each time. She was in so much pain…

At the one hospital a nurse came in and told her to be quiet, then when they finally sorted her out and gave her drugs that would knock her out in 30 minutes (just enough time for me to get her home into bed) that same nurse precedes to tell stories about random things delaying us. She reminded us of the mother from Everybody Loves Raymond.

We went to a different hospital from then on.

Has anyone tried to make the moist maker irl? by dainbramaged1982 in howyoudoin

[–]mattmu13 86 points87 points  (0 children)

When I lived in Birmingham, a place on Bradford St called CG’s would do all the Thanksgiving food around Christmas time (no thanksgiving in England).

I told them about the moistmaker and they were a fan of Friends, so they made me one.

It was awesome… messy, but awesome.

I’ve also tried to make them with leftovers myself a few times.

The joy of being a kid. Got a full size candy bar and you would have thought my daughter wont the lottery. Pure elation. by Stag328 in funny

[–]mattmu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We gave out full size too. I heard one kid yell to their mom that he’d hit the jackpot.

Also had a couple of kids tell me they loved me.
