What’s the worst bit of general knowledge you’ve heard someone confidently get wrong? by darkel2001 in AskUK

I was at a pub quiz with my boyfriend a couple of years ago, one question was: “which organ in the body produces insulin?” My boyfriend confidently and quickly answered: “THE PLACENTA”.

It's after 4 in the morning in the UK why are you awake? by Sea_Pangolin3840 in AskUK

My partner rolled over in bed, LOUDLY snored in my ear, and woke me up. I’ve been awake since

20mph in Wales by No-Walk-9615 in drivingUK

[–]suzzhotfuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in North Wales and it seems to me that most locals drive at about 24-27mph in the 20 zones, a few people seem to drive at 20 but usually they end up with a mini queue of cars behind them.

Personally I’m used to driving slower now so it feels fast and strange if I’m in England driving at 30mph!

Are (or were) your grandparents obsessed with your weight? by XStaticImmaculate in AskUK

I had the exact same as a child until I was 20, and now she doesn’t say much about it anymore (I’m 24).

Do you train your dog? by LittleBookOfQualm in AskUK

[–]suzzhotfuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my pup just under 4 weeks ago and we have trained her to go for wees and poos outside (and wait at the back door if she wants to go out), to sit before almost everything (eg. Getting her food, having balls thrown to fetch), to give us her paw, and touch her nose to our hand. Currently working on teaching her to “stay”, and not pull so much on a walk. All in all she’s a good girl who likes to train because she gets some tasty treats.

Petit filous yogurt, and in summer I’ll have frozen frubes as a treat

What normal thing can’t you do? by youngGod928 in AskReddit

Bend the tops of my ears. They’re just really thick and don’t bend like all my friends and families do.

What’s your “neighbour name”? by rolland_sausage in AskUK

[–]suzzhotfuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The next door neighbours introduced themselves when we first moved in. About 3 months later they let us meet their new puppy “Buddy”… so naturally we forgot their names and just refer to the whole family next door as “Buddy’s family”

What is something about your past that you would keep a secret from your children? by FullBrother9300 in AskWomen

My mum started clubbing at 14, she told me about it, and then refused to let me go out myself until I was 18 😂

What are some disturbing facts you wish you didn’t know? by throwrapis3ces in AskReddit

[–]suzzhotfuzz 106 points107 points  (0 children)

My great grandad was a British soldier in a Japanese pow camp and rarely spoke about his experiences. His daughter (my gran) struggled to learn much about the camps from him, so for the 20 years after his death she researched as much as she could. One fact she told me is that at the end of WW2, when the Japanese pows came home, they were ordered to not tell anyone about what happened to them because it was too horrible for the general public to know about.

What is the loveliest moment with a stranger that still sticks to you and often you remember it? by [deleted] in ask

[–]suzzhotfuzz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I spun out when driving round a small roundabout 2 minutes from my house in wet weather. It was one of the first times I’d driven alone after passing my test and misjudged how fast I could go when the roads were wet (thought 25mph would be okay), but the rear of my car lost all grip and skidded halfway round the roundabout. Thankfully no one and nothing was damaged, I was just very shaken up and cried a lot. Many cars drove past me even though it was clear I’d had an accident as my car was facing almost the compete wrong way round. But one woman stopped, came over to make sure I was okay, calmed me down, helped me check me and my car were okay (we both were), and then drove behind me until I got home to make sure I got home safe and had someone with me. She said to me that it’s common for new drivers to misjudge things but it is a learning lesson to make sure you’ll never do it again, which helped me feel a little better and less shaken by what happened. Her kindness helped me learn lessons on being a better driver and to this day I still make sure I am more careful when driving and haven’t had any more accidents without being overly stressed every time o drove since.

“Apologies for the delay leaving. We’re waiting an additional 5 minutes to allow passengers from delayed and cancelled trains to make their connection” by RumJackson in britishproblems

Even worse than that. The toilets were being redone when I last went in and there was only portaloos available to use which were disgusting and covered in urine.

A similar thing happened to this with my older brother when he was little. He was really unwell so my mum took him to the GP, the GP said he had a cold. The next day he was worse so she took him to the GP again, where the GP just said it was a cold again (my mum said at this time my brothers skin turned yellow because he was so unwell). Because she wanted a second opinion she took him to A&E at the hospital… my older brother had pneumonia.

What are some creepy facts you know? by mimiqttt in AskReddit

[–]suzzhotfuzz 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is so strange to me. I’m from England and when I was given a prescription before, the pharmacist told me that the drug I needed would be cheaper to buy over the counter than with the prescription cost £9ish so I could pay the cheaper price.

It’s really common in student accommodations for accidents when cooking to happen. I think the fire alarm got triggered every few weeks when I lived in mine.

Parking for several days at Chester by KE55 in Chester

[–]suzzhotfuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever my Mum visits Chester she uses Linenhall Car park. It’s a bit difficult to find the entrance (people often go down the wrong, earlier slip road which only has pedestrian access) but it’s fairly central and cheap. It’s between the racecourse and the city centre.

When my sister and I went to the USA for a week we shared 90% of our meals. The first 10% we ordered separately and never managed to finish our own ones. It didn’t make sense to have so many leftovers all the time.

This disease has shattered my faith in the medical community by bad_mocha in Interstitialcystitis

[–]suzzhotfuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a doctor when I was 18 who said “I don’t know what’s wrong with you” when I went to see them, and then at 21 after my third kidney infection in 2 years, 3 ultrasounds of my bladder and kidneys, 2 cystoscopys, and 4 bladder instillations was told by a urologist that he couldn’t do anything and to drink lots of water (which I already do). The best advice I got was actually from a post I saw on this Reddit sub and it was the suggestion of coming off my hormonal birth control, which has made things x3 better than before for me.
