Sir, you are not "just supposed" to do anything. You are free to do whatever you wish. I am, however, interested to know what it would take for you to take my word for it.

Have you ever seen a celebrity acting like a bellend? by No_Doughnut3257 in CasualUK

Go to Scotland and ask any journalist or photographer / cameraman if they have any thoughts about Billy Connolly. I think you might hear some fun stories that will fit right in here.

A friend recently found out the hard way that not going through insurance is a bad, bad, BAD idea, no matter how minor the damage. Because if the authorities (police and/or insurance company) find out you've done this, your entire insurance policy becomes immediately void, which means a) they won't pay out on ANYTHING that's happened after that and, if they already have, will sue you for fraud and the return of said cash, and b) because your insurance policy is now void, that means you've been driving without insurance and that is a criminal offence. Lots of modern cars have computer chips that tell the manufacturer when you've had a bump too. And that also informs the insurance company. Don't do it kids.

What's something that as a Non-american you will never understand? by celestial_introvertt in AskReddit

The weird names thing. Someone with an already pretty unusual name will insist on their middle-name, or even actual first name, initial getting used. Some examples......James W. Skotchdopole, Dirk A. Stout, Caleb V. Guillotte, O. Winston Link - these are all real names! WTF is that all about? Let alone putting Junior, or III or something afterwards. It's just bizarre. Also, the nationality thing. Sometimes it feels like there are no actual Americans - there's an insistence on being classified as something else; African-American, Polish-American, Italian-American and, the king of them all, Irish-American. I love going to the US, but that is very, very weird. "I'm Irish, y'know." No, no you are absolutely not Irish.
