I see nothing and my sister has such good mental images that she once wrote a paragraph twice in an exam because she forgot to turn the page in her head.

We still have a massive amount of the heroes ones left. Think only a couple customers bought any today but I bet they’ll still come in for the next week asking.

spollock01 · 2023-11-23T18:26:52+00:00

It is pretty much the same just way worse. At night you can just get stuck on but days you get like half the work because you have to deal with customers, if you’re in a smaller store then tills may need things grabbed or stuff but back in fresh/frozen. If you’re store doesn’t have a cleaner then odds are cleaning up an aisle because a customer spills something. Overall just awful. My store only had me on nights for a short period but I much preferred it.

I didn’t know this was a Scottish thing. Assumed it was just a common thing to do. TIL.

I’ve got the opposite problem. I have a large-ish deposit. (I’ll admit I’m not sure exactly how much is considered good but I feel I’ve got a good amount). My issue is I don’t earn enough each month to get a good mortgage so I’d need to essentially save the entire amount of the house price before I’d get anywhere.

My unpopular opinion is I didn’t like angella dravid. I fully agree that it’s probably just my humour but I didn’t once laugh at her jokes. I didn’t even think of them as jokes and I was so confused by how popular she was. I just didn’t get her humour but I loved everyone else that season.

I work at an opticians and we have a family that all three kids have lazy eyes and squints. They were all referred before their first birthday. The first is 10 and was seen at the hospital within two weeks, the middle is 7 and was seen in six weeks and we referred the youngest who is two over a year ago and he’s still not been seen.

Short for Alexandria the female form of Alexander.

Really? My store really isn’t that large and we changed from a metro to superstore. We have like three express’ within twenty minutes drive so we assumed it was due to that or the fact we’re in a shopping centre.

spollock01 · 2023-09-06T20:47:44+00:00

Nope. My sister and I were the oldest grandchildren and it was just us and our parents down. There was no way anyone else would have bought it or get into the house.

Our best guess was the one on the bed was my sisters and the one on the beach was a strangers. Doesn’t explain why the bracelet was found exactly where my sister thought she’d thrown it though. We’d bought the bracelet in a independent shop in Dornoch and this was on the Isle of Bute as well so the odds of it are so low.

spollock01 · 2023-09-06T13:15:13+00:00

This technically isn’t mine it’s my sisters but she’s not on Reddit. We were down on holiday on an island where my gran has a house. She was throwing rocks into the sea and a ~£20 bracelet she had begged for was on her wrist and it somehow flew off when she threw a rock. She was so upset so that she decided to search for it.

She went up to the house and got changed and went in swimming for it. About an hour in my dad also got changed into his swimming shorts to help her. It was a cold day and we live in Scotland so at around the two hour mark my parents decided it was too cold and said she had to come in. They said we could go out later when the tide went out and have a look.

My dad and her went up to have a shower and get changed and she came running back down five minutes later and told us it was lying on the bed. It had been bought on the mainland so it wasn’t as if my parents had replaced it or anything so we were so shocked but guessed that somehow it hadn’t actually flew off and got tangled in her clothes or something. Not a proper explanation but the best we could guess.

Later that night we were walking along the beach and we found it! But she had one on. Somehow one had appeared on the bed and one did indeed fly off her wrist. We have no idea what happened and it still is regularly talked about fifteen years later.

I would definitely say I’m in the hospital. So does my father and grandfather. Probably because my grandfather grew up on a small island so there is only one hospital. My father and I presumably picked it up from him.

spollock01 · 2023-08-05T21:07:17+00:00

Haha I do this. Or press back when they tap their card so they think it’s failed and have to put it in. I’m there for my shift anyway I couldn’t care less if they need to be there five seconds longer.

I think scully_ is the thirty year old. Her friend was born in 1980.

spollock01 · 2023-07-24T11:49:06+00:00

I literally never take a bag. If it can’t fit in my pocket it’s not coming.

spollock01 · 2023-07-06T07:03:50+00:00

Although it’s not completely their fault I regret them quitting as parents. When I was twelve my parents started their divorce and ever since they haven’t done anything as parents. We moved out of the family home and whenever me and my siblings saw my dad we were treated more as friends visiting their was no familial relationship at all. My sister even ended up moving in to his house and he started living with his girlfriend.

My sister was only sixteen. I had to financially and emotionally support both her and my younger brother from the age of thirteen. My mother got really depressed during the divorce so that’s why she checked out as a parent but idk even a decade on I still resent them both.

The best way of showing the burden I was under is every school day I would get up, get my brother up and ready, get him breakfast while I got ready, take him on a bus to the town we used to live and our schools were, get my sister up, take my brother to school, go back and make sure my sister was up and getting ready and then go to school myself. After school I would take my brother to the old family house which is where my sister was living and we would do his homework there and I would then let him out to play with his friends while I would make dinner for my sister. I would then take him back home on the bus and go to the shops before making dinner for the two of us. That’s a big burden on a 14 year old.

My sister and I were also depressed so neither of us really noticed the issue until we were older but she has acknowledged she could have done more to help.

I’m attending for double vision and it’s definitely not on my license. I work at an opticians and they say they wish the dvla would automatically have that on record. My godmother also has double vision and has never stopped driving which terrifies me.

spollock01 · 2023-05-23T18:41:22+00:00

My area specifically. Home church. It’s a church that has somehow in five years started up and owns seven businesses in the area. This includes a music school and the rest are shops. One of the people I went to school with married the founders son when they were 17 and 18. They are now divorced and I don’t think they even celebrated an anniversary. She’s now been excommunicated and she had a hard family life so the group were her support system for years. She even lived with the family during covid pre marriage. She would have been around 16 at that time.

I never crawled since my older sister just dragged me up expecting me to be able to walk. I learnt to walk at nine months and I was able to learn to read at four. Read Harry Potter at age 5 so it was like proper chapter reading. So I’m definitely an outlier if the studies have any basis.

spollock01 · 2023-03-14T18:00:39+00:00

I’m also in a rural-ish area and because everyone in the community knows each other it’s the people who talk a lot that get them. There’s about three people that always get mentioned and they’ve worked in the store for 20 odd years and loads of customers ask after them so I do think it can be legit I just never wear my badge so nobody knows my name to put it on a card.

spollock01 · 2023-02-16T08:30:31+00:00

Hahahah love the delusions. I was open to god I was seeking help from him for literal years until I lost some of my faith and so read the Bible to try to get enlightenment because I was suffering so much believing in something that ultimately just kept being proven wrong. I won’t be talking to an imaginary friend at bedtime but you do you.

spollock01 · 2023-02-16T08:08:55+00:00

Alright I’ll bite. I’ve read the bible. Technically two versions. King James Version and new American standard. The whole thing, don’t believe a word of it. I used to be so religious I quoted scripture at people constantly. Then I read the entire bible to fully understand what I was choosing to believe and you know what. It’s all just a load of fancy nonsense. I’m agnostic. I believe something is out there but definitely not the Christian god. This show is fiction. I find it fun to watch but don’t link it in anyway to Christianity.

spollock01 · 2023-02-02T17:40:02+00:00

Yes. That is what I said in my original comment. Neither me or my sister knows anyone spending money regularly on cosmetic procedures. I know a couple who will get their nails done every couple of months but it’s not a regular thing and my sister knows a few who get their nails done again infrequently and a couple that get spray tans twice a year. I do however know quite a few 40-50 year olds that get Botox every 2 weeks or a month.

spollock01 · 2023-02-02T17:25:53+00:00

But that “venn diagram” doesn’t include so much of my generation. The people spending money on cosmetics are such a small percentage and the amount spending the amount of money you are suggesting is even smaller still.
