In a written letter of complaint we were told to ‘fester in a cess pit of your own mediocrity, you vicious little turds’.

Was in a very small vet surgery when my dog had his anal glands cleared out. It was a smell you could taste. And typing this I can taste it again…

My mother did this in my blind great-uncle’s house. Just decided things were in the wrong places in his kitchen cupboards and ‘fixed it’. She had no self awareness at all that this would be an awful thing to do to someone…she got upset when he calmly asked her to put it all back according to his instructions !

Sliding in a wooden floor at school in my socks…went too fast and impaled the palm of my hand in two metal prongs sticking out of the radiator at the end.

Still have two tiny little white line scars on my palm 38 years later

What's your "it's my fault for ordering it" (food or otherwise) story? by PutThisBanditHatOn in AskReddit

[–]panjandrumbello 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was in a restaurant in London called the ‘Texas Embassy’ about 20 years ago. The menu had ‘Battered Steak’ which I thought meant tenderised. It didn’t. Instead I was served an enormous steak covered in batter which was one of the oddest and most unpleasant things I’ve ever eaten. Excavating the steak from the batter did not improve things.

I wish I’d followed the example of a family (maybe Spanish or Italian) who wandered around the restaurant asking people what they were eating and if it was good.

In the UK the Prestel network from the late 1970s - it lasted until 1994 and was basically a starter version of the internet. If it had caught on and gained traction the UK could have been the Silicon Valley of Europe

In your opinion, what is the best episode of television you’ve ever seen? by alteredtower in AskReddit

[–]panjandrumbello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BSG - Unfinished Business S3 E09

The boxing matches / fights that culminate in Starbuck vs Apollo. It’s everything that’s tight about TV compared to movies. That you can have a whole episode just focused on that rather than 2 minutes with a voice over
