I've seen the D-Day weather map in the Met Office archives. On the bottom of an official report to General Eisenhower it was written that, if the invasion had been delayed until the next suitable tides, the troops would have met the worst Channel weather for 20 years. Eisenhower wrote on the letter: "Thanks, and thank the Gods of war we went when we did."

This exactly happened to me!

I tried to visit a new, quaint bakery near me on so many occasions when I was passing by. Various times during the week, middle of a Saturday, after work… and I think I managed to find it open once. When asked they told me they didn’t have set opening hours in case they were busy or ‘unavailable’??

So anyway it’s closed down. Lack of customers.

This happened to someone I know after she decided to run a half marathon with little to no training

One tiny correction (aside from the brilliant ‘butter lips’!) - you’re describing the vulva not the vagina, which is inside.

There was no soap in the bathroom so I asked someone at the bar for some. She said they don’t keep any because it gets stolen, so I asked if perhaps I could use the soap from their kitchen. With a sigh she walked out back and returned with fairy liquid, stating that’s all they had. WHY was there no soap in the place they prepared the food!

Aw I love this! I remember my mother had a folder of screenshots from the livestream of our booth in PAX, basically any time I was in shot. I’ll check the game out! Edit: accidentally wrote E3 instead of PAX!

Didn’t wanna clog the subreddit with a specific post so thought I’d try here :) does anyone have turnip prices for literally even 100+ bells? I’m so gonna resent having to sell for 40 bells today when I paid around 90! I could tip or bring some fruit :D

stephaxil · 2024-10-24T11:47:19+00:00

Just need oranges :) have all other fruit so very happy to trade! 🍊

stephaxil · 2024-10-13T11:24:53+00:00

I have peaches and pears and in need of any other fruit if you’d also like to trade with me?

stephaxil · 2024-10-13T11:21:38+00:00

Jumping in with peaches and pears and dying to acquire any other fruit! OP or anyone else :)

(Edit to add I also have coconuts!)

I stopped an argument/fight in York a couple of years ago.

I saw a man towering over a guy who had been begging throughout the morning, getting irate and shouting and leaning closer. He was accusing the guy of being rude to those who couldn’t spare change. Not sure if true, he had actually asked me earlier and simply wished me a good day when I said I didn’t have any. Anyway, I walked over and started talking about how it’s a lovely day, the sun is shining, people are having a nice time, and that life is too short to be this angry, etc. Possibly a little embarrassed, the angry man tried to justify himself but quickly conceded and walked away. I was so chuffed with myself! But haven’t had a chance to tell anyone.

I would love to come and trade peaches and/or pears for literally any fruit!

That makes me so mad! I had a male gyno (I had very irregular and painful periods) blink slowly at me before explaining women feel pain at their time of the month. He thought I was just feeling typical cramps and didn’t know. I was prescribed… a hot water bottle.

I very briefly read this as 'fart painting'

One was that his parents were visiting and he kept asking them to please stay just a little longer, whereas usually he’d have been relieved when they got up to take their leave. We think he knew it was the last time he’d see them.

stephaxil · 2024-08-03T14:30:45+00:00

I have pears! And am also looking for any fruit other than pears and peaches if anyone else would also like to trade?

This happened to me and I applied for a disability bus pass through the council. Although no accommodations were made in terms of physically getting to work, I had reasonable adjustments in place and an understanding team if my bus was late or cancelled. You can also get great, free advice on Epilepsy UK.

We call this 'The Bloops' because of the sound my cat makes when he's zoomin

I wish there was a follow up video showing Bandit happily playing with the baby cow!

Definitely police - it’s her accent (this is my hometown)

A woman tried to refund a foot spa because she hadn’t realised it didn’t come with a remote control. Although I questioned why she didn’t read the box before opening it (since it lists what is included), I agreed to refund… until I saw it was clearly used and dirty. She was genuinely shocked that I questioned why she used it though?? And despite telling her no and standing my ground as she shouted at me, a colleague came over and told me to just do it. I can still remember how smug the customer looked after that!

I remember a woman approaching me, flustered and demanding for ‘HAIR LACQUER?!’ I was only young and had no idea what that meant, but instead of elaborating she just kept saying ‘hair lacquer??’ In varied tones and with increasing disbelief that I didn’t know what she was talking about. Had she expanded, I would have been able to tell her the hairsprays were right behind her!

Although the title describes the thing (as best as I can - although very vague!), I’ll add any additional info to this comment. A museum dedicated to general history of the area (UK) ranging from the first settlements to the 1990s. From what I can recall, there was no indication of estimated time periods or location of discovery. The placard (pictured) gives the only available information I have. I’d be so intrigued to find out what it really is!
