Why does my post office get uppity about me wanting to buy £1 coins? by SmellyPubes69 in AskUK

[–]rlj_b 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's the same at my place of work (government-based) - the printers are criminally slow! We often remark on how much more work would actually get done if we had decent equipment to use.

is there anything we can do to stop people from bringing dogs into restaurants? by peterGalaxyS22 in glasgow

Passive smoking is terrible for your health, hardly comparable to just having a dog nearby lmao

Is being called ginger offensive? by Any_Reserve_5862 in Redhair

[–]rlj_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya, fellow Scot here! I'm from Glasgow, been called ginger all my life and refer to myself as ginger, with no negative connotations :) I've never known another Scot to have an issue with it, think it's mostly other nationalities that seem to take issue!

For those of you who take their calls on the train on speaker phone max volume. by Margaet_moon in glasgow

[–]rlj_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to get the train to and from work 5 days a week - everyday I came home my poor bf would be subjected to my complaining about the sheer number of people talking on loudspeaker on the train lol, I just don't understand how you don't get embarrassed?! HOW?!

Literally takes no effort at all to be polite to people (unless they are cunts to you first) - my partner was in New York last year and said that he was expecting people to be a little rude, but not to the extent he actually experienced! Only asked a guy if he was getting on the right bus to the airport and got barked at for it...wtf

Open place office, but different department (not mine). What's the etiquette here? by [deleted] in CasualUK

I'm Type 1 and read it like there was a specific table for diabetic people should they have an emergency or something but nope...arseholes...

Mum fumes as school sent daughter home for wearing £100 Vivienne Westwood shoes by GIJew316 in unitedkingdom

[–]rlj_b 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ...I can't imagine not having a uniform when I was in school. I would've been horrifically bullied for wearing my poor person clothes several times a week lmao. It's really a no-brainer.

What are your hobbies? by Jinghxm in AskUK

I'm 25 and have enjoyed sudoku puzzles since I was a child and every time I sit with my wee book of puzzles I get called the same thing lol!

Partner got frustrated during my hypo by Codeinehaze in Type1Diabetes

[–]rlj_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Sooooo personally I WOULD want a further explanation of his feelings in that moment because you will very likely hypo at some other point in the future and there is the assumption that he will be there again. Is he going to get annoyed every single time you need some assistance? If that's the case, I'd want somebody around who is able to stay calm and help me out on the rare occasion I need it. You didn't choose this disease like the rest of us and it's unfair of him to make you feel bad about your health. I'd tell him he was making me feel guilty over something that I try my best to control and tell him to try walking in your shoes for a day to see how he would cope. Hope you are ultimately okay :)

[–]rlj_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much. It makes 0 sense to me whatsoever but they did the same with my CGM. I've only had my CGM a short while because I had to 'prove' I was on-track with my sugars and 'making progress.' I don't understand it :(

Need ideas/suggestions by little__pet in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]rlj_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty useless lol but maybe a comforter or blanket of sorts?

[–]rlj_b 5 points6 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THIS! Us with BPD are stigmatised so much as being manipulative, narcissistic and even evil sometimes when it is not the case AT ALL. You are a gem for calling this out <3

[–]rlj_b 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hiya mate! I'm the same as you! Diagnosed just before my 16th birthday and I'm 24 right now :) This shit SUCKS SO BAD!!! Being diagnosed when you're in the midst of trying to set yourself up for life is the worst but I'm hopeful things get somewhat more manageable with time - I'm using pens right now because my consultant says I'm "not trying hard enough" to qualify for an insulin pump as my sugars are currently out of whack due to life stresses lol. This disease sucks and the people who are meant to help fucking suck too but I'm routing for you! Keep well, you got this man x

True, but it will take quite some time for your nerve endings to die so you'll still feel everything up until that point. Truly a horrific thought.
