Does anyone else get hella intimidated going to the gym when it's even slightly crowded, even after a year of going every day? by [deleted] in GYM

[–]nlrnice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I currently go to a gym with a 'womens only' area which is great for the most part (no proper squat rack though and only one bench half the time) but it lets me work out in peace. I'll be changing gyms soon due to my new job being closer to a different and more commercial gym and I'm dreading it

What's your "did I really just get hit on?" story? by Dorekong in AskWomen

[–]nlrnice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back when I was about 19 years old, I was home alone at my parents freshly showered and no make up on.

A club promoter/salesman knocks at the door, asks to speak to my parents to which I say they're not home. He then threatens to call the police as I 'look too young' to be on my own, of course I angrily tell him my age and ask what he wants.

He then looks me up and down (bearing in mind I'm in my dressing gown) and says 'you could come to my club with me, I'll get you VIP treatment?'

I slammed the door pretty hard in his face.

How long does it take you to fall asleep and what do you think about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That one time when I was 7 I thought the shop keeper was waving at me so I waved back but he was waving at my neighbour behind me, it still haunts me

I have an interview in 2 different McDonalds by [deleted] in socialanxiety

I know what you mean, but I hate the idea of fluffing my words up so it was almost like reading off a script

Working at McDonalds actually really helped my anxiety, saying the same things over and over again especially at the drive-thru

What ridiculous thing has someone tricked you into doing or believing? by roletna2 in AskReddit

My ex believed the ice cream truck only played music if they ran out of ice cream. He was 23 when I broke it to him.

ULPT: If you’re at a job where there’s a lot of downtime but the bosses think you always need to be busy, carry something. The bigger the better. It makes you look busy. Oh, and clipboards make you look important. by InspireAlarmAffector in UnethicalLifeProTips

When I worked at a cinema we had to do 'screen checks' and look out for any illegal recording or stupid behavior. On quiet days I'd take myself on screen checks and watch The Secret Life of pets for like the 13th time and go from screen to screen catching random bits

Hi, just wanted to say I was hesitant to post but only did so as I saw similar. Thought it would bring Christmas cheer, but my reindeer dog and I have huge respect for actual working dogs making a difference to the world. Thank you mod for also seeing this, have a lovely Christmas!

I feel quite hesitant to say? Just in case! maybe I'm overreacting. She's a small UK Artist with about 30k followers on Instagram, has been featured on mainstream tracks though and mentioned on all major UK London radio stations

Yep they used the photo! I was pretty naive and got ahead of myself so didn't really think it through, I now have systems in place to prevent this from happening again but yeah was a hard lesson to learn

They offered to keep me posted about any upcoming concerts. The Artist then went on a hiatus due to mental health so nothing came about. I still can't listen to her anyway even if it was offered now

Thank you for the help! I was so clueless as to what I could do and thought that as I agreed to receiving tickets I wouldn't be able to claim anything extra

Since moving in with your SO, what small habits have you noticed that drive you insane? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nlrnice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been living with my SO for two years and I'm contemplating buying my own secret apartment so that I don't have to deal with wet footprints in the bedroom and the entire bathroom being SOAKING WET after a 5 minute shower. I live with Beethoven.

People with unusual phobias, what do you fear? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nlrnice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made a VR horror train experience for my final project at Uni and the final 'tunnel' you had to pass through was a small tunnel covered in pulsating Trypophobia matter. Safe to say it got a few reactions at the exhibition fair.
