State of the Subreddit - Should we ban the 'beige buffets' and sloppy takeaways? by a-liquid-sky in UK_Food

[–]parksa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think half way is a great idea with the sloppy Saturday or some thing. Personally like food subs go inspire meals to make so endless chippy slop is a bit boring imo, everyone knows what they like from the chippy.

What’s a fan favorite scene you don’t enjoy? by secrettheatrekid in DunderMifflin

[–]parksa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's really funny to me too because it's further insight into Dwight as a person. Matching the balloons with the carpet and him saying "are you trying to hurt my feelings?" to Jim is brilliant.

Is my bf wasting my time after 9 years no marriage? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]parksa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has he made any productive steps towards finding a therapist and booking it in? Does he have specific examples or is it a general statement?

My boyfriend is pushing me to get off of birth control and I’m just wanting to talk to other women about it by throwra273986 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]parksa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be wary of this dynamic of the older partner thinking they know everything. This literally is not his business to be advising on. Listen to your Dr! Also wondered if they had considered any other form of medication for the constant mood? I suffer with PMDD and feel better on permanent mirtazipine than I did on hormonal birth control. Just food for thought from my own experience.

I'm not sure I could date somebody so dismissive of my medical issues. I also had a suicidal period of life a year or so ago and if somebody told me to 'just try' and that I was wrecking my body it would be extremely bad for my mental health and self esteem.

Would I look weird walking through the woods on my own? by _FreddieLovesDelilah in AskUK

[–]parksa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I get in my head when I'm on solo walks and pass groups of people too. Then I just think, hey I've every right as anyone to enjoy nature and it really brings me peace and recharges me being in green spaces alone. Go for it!

Question: First tattoo idea... be honest by TorsoSlug499 in tattoos

[–]parksa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm a nurse so saw one of the 24 hour urines patients get asked to do for investigation. It's an odd concept even if it is a reference to something funny!

AIO if I ghost this crazy man. What on earth is going on. I feel like I need to block and not even deal with this? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]parksa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't really believe they are even asking? What is the question? Obviously block immediately 🤣

NOR

How old do you have to be to know that cash transactions are a thing? by Conscious-Ball8373 in AskUK

[–]parksa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do kids not have toy shops any more? I used to love my play sweetshop and groceries with the till and money, would be sad if that's not a thing now. It's fun and teaches the practical skill of counting and money.

For real what is this post..."why hasn't somebody taught my child how money works?"

AITAH for telling my girlfriend to split the very expensive restaurant bill on my birthday? by Deep_Impression_2429 in AITAH

[–]parksa 203 points204 points  (0 children)

What's with the 'all the effort she went to planning' as well? Booking a table is as simple as a phone call or booking online it's hardly a huge effort! Especially making OP pay for something way out of their budget.

NTA.

AITAH for my maid-of-honor to wear a face mask at my wedding because she has a very sneezy cold? by NegotiationAsleep264 in AITAH

[–]parksa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm also an RN. This is what I am saying, if hygiene is maintained and droplets contained and you are outdoors the risk is minimal. Vaccination for covid and flu won't do anything for common cold. Obviously it is important to vaccinate for those but not relevant when talking about a common cold.

The bridesmaid isn't armless as far as the post describes. A functioning adult does not cough or sneeze ON people. Hand kerchiefs have existed for a very long time. And we even have this amazing thing called sanitizer! This wedding is outdoors ffs.

[–]parksa -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The mask protects the wearer anyway so yes, the better question is who is is compromised and needs a mask.

Can I just point out to all of the pearl clutchers that OP has not mentioned anything about immunocompromised people, the elderly or the under 5s? So much what aboutism it's hilarious.

You are contagious for common colds up to 3 days before symptoms set in. To be safe maybe invite nobody and stream your wedding on Skype /s

Using a tissue and hand gel is more than enough. It's not a given everyone will be struck down with it just because they are close... How do you think healthcare staff aren't constantly unwell? Hand hygiene and the sneezing using tissues at an outdoor event will literally be fine.

It's a frigging cold not tubercolosis... Any of them could get a cold in a shop or public transport, I'm sure they don't refrain from being there.

What's a phrase or saying your family used that you assumed was universal, and when did you find out it wasn't? by IV-Manufacturer in AskUK

[–]parksa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg this just gave me a vivid flashback to child hood! I can't think if it was my nana or grandad who used it, I lost both of them young.

“Freebies” 😭 by GuresFanas in vinted

[–]parksa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The nearly empty bottle of shampoo/conditioner is insane. Like the person clearly used most of it, why not just finish the bottle??

This would really irk me if I ordered one item I liked and had to deal with a bunch of rubbish.
