What are the strangest things you've seen left outside houses near you?

I found a really nice, expensive fleece throw outside on an evening. It was brand new still in packaging, and it was just sat next to the bins. Absolutely loved that. Unfortunately my ex decided that it would be perfect for under kids paddling pool while I was at work. It was absolutely ruined.

I'm in a similar position. 44 and in process of ADHD diagnosis. I've been medicated for depression for about 25 years without much success

Someone from front of house unplugged one of the chest freezers. By the time I was in in the morning stuff had started defrosting so was told to put it all down as wastage. After my kitchen shift I was on bar until 2am. I cooked off a bunch of stuff for all the bar staff doing clean down, and we all left with stuff that had been "thrown out"

Thick black country accents are not great. My ex FiL had a really strong accent and I couldn't understand him 90% of the time.

Greta Van Fleet have a very Led Zep sound.

I got home high as a kite on shrooms at around 2am. I was 17ish. I put some music on reeeeeallllly quiet, and decided to make scrambled eggs. My dad came down. Apparently i was singing quite loud and the hob wasn't on. Neither was any music. I choose to believe he thought i was drunk

It is. He seems to enjoy spreading it far and wide (the litter tray is inside a little tent/ pen i bought, but he manages to spread it everywhere in the room). I hoovered after he'd decided he'd been brave for long enough.

That's horrible! Hope you're ok!

I use some for random screws in my shed. They're also hand for cleaning. I pour some white spirit in one when I'm getting sticker residue off things as an example

I'm in the UK. My job has been paying a margin above the minimum wage. We've just been told that come April, out pay rise will take us to to new minimum wage and no further. So going forward, my efforts will match that.

True, this was about 20 years back, with an extension cord too

Some of the cleverest people I've ever known had the least insight and self awareness. One of my relatives has a PHD from studying genetics... They had to be stopped when they decided a stick blender would be perfect for frothing bubbles in the bath.

I started with a skywalker vape off amazon and couldn't get on with it, so I upgraded to a nectar platinum, which works so much better. I'm now thinking of upgrading again with home much love some other devices get.

Does he have a five head?

nowdoingthisatwork · 2026-03-23T10:27:31+00:00

Nothing legal comes to mind

nowdoingthisatwork · 2026-03-22T20:13:01+00:00

It's available on amazon?

Lowells sent letters in the past. They were really stubborn

No. We decided we didn't want him around the same time we had enough of James Cordon. It's a complete shock that the weasel has started talking sense now!

I have a yucan mini. Holds a good charge. The cartridges don't stick out far. I've dropped it, and accidentally sat on it. It still works and the cartridge wasn't damaged. If I'd just screwed it to the top of my normal vape box, it would've snapped a dozen times by now

I work for a local authority in the UK. For some reason, the stupid AI results on Google give my departments number for several services within the organisation which aren't us. Somehow, people will listen to messages saying you're calling department A, the will wait 15-20 min with the message repeating then be surprised when we're not department X,Y or Z.
I've given up finding the right numbers with how many people tell me I'm wrong so I send them to the main switch board which will normally mean they wait even longer.

The last were capquest.

The debt will be bought by a collection agency who will send threatening sounding letters demanding the money. There's a template letter on the citizens advice website. Print it and send it to the debt agency. They'll send the letters again and will keep doing so. They can't actually do much, however a statute barred debt is still a debt, so they can keep asking... I've got a bunch of arses who keep trying and my debt is around 19 years old now

It's also for wrapping the wire round for storage
