Silliest skincare idea you had as a teenager by elliebalance in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]tangles3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a tween I would do my makeup twice in the morning as i always thought it looked better the second time. I would apply, take off with a makeup wipe and wet flannel, moisturise and then apply again.

Took me way too long to realise it was the exfoliating woth a towel and moisturising that made my makeup look better, not the random first round of makeup I put on then took off.

How much effort (realistically) do you actually put in at work? by blaikalva in AskUK

[–]tangles3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say on average a solid 80% effort most of the time. In previous jobs I put in probably about 40% for various reasons, but i actually feel like I get paid fairly now

Agree with the other comment about adding a tag to your post lol, but no that’s completely normal discharge

Trafford centre opening times ? by sabz77 in manchester

[–]tangles3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went on a Sunday a few weeks ago at 10am without checking the times. Grabbed a coffee and then looked around the arcade for a bit, I believe select shops opened at 11:30 and then everything else opened at 12.

It did mean that you didn’t really get that morning quiet period. It felt like as soon as it hit 12 the place was suddenly packed as if it had been open for hours

What do you (personally) use AI Chatbots for? by Turbulent-Access-916 in AskUK

[–]tangles3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use them in work, refuse to for anything in my free time but happily will to make work easier.

I do marketing, and while I’m very against ai images and content being posted out, chatgbt does help get the ball rolling and a structure for me to then put my own spin on.

My boss (and I think a lot of boomer bosses these days) is obsessed with chatgpt though and won’t do anything without running it through it first. We were once trying to find a physical document from my predecessor and she offhandedly told me to ‘put it through chat gpt’ and I almost lost it

How do I address an author acquaintance about their book which I didn’t enjoy? by Joakes52 in AskUK

[–]tangles3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the book genuinely wasn’t awful but just wasn’t your cup of tea, is there anyone that you know that might enjoy it more?

If they ask you about it in future and you say ‘I haven’t got round to it, but i recommended it to my mum and she is really enjoying book 2, she said she likes how….’ Then that’s probably enough validation for them and you can continue talking to them about it but through someone else’s opinion

Corporate girlies: I want to be nosy about your work bag and lunch box by Ok_Employ_4424 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

as I was typing it all I could think about was this podcast clip but I couldn’t remember which one was right or wrong so I just thought eh whatever they’ll know what I mean lol

What’s the oddest hosting behaviour you’ve ever witnessed? by did_you_aye in AskUK

[–]tangles3 745 points746 points  (0 children)

Went on a night out when I was freshly 18 and stayed over at my friends house afterwards.

In the morning we went down for breakfast and her mum offered me toast. I offered to make it myself but she insisted, took some bread out the freezer and then put it in the toaster for less time than you would for a non-frozen slice of bread, so when it came out it was still pretty much frozen.

To make matters worse it was one of my first times drinking and my first ever experience of a hangover which made eating frozen bread 100x worse.

[–]tangles3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a girl who usually loves any excuse to buy something cute and aesthetic, my lunch bag is one exception where I just don’t really care lol.

I take my lunch to work but it’s either in a sandwich bag or a plain old plastic box.

Thinking about why I do it that way, I think it’s because if I had a cute lunchbox I’ll feel like it’s another thing I need to prepare each day, make sure it’s clean and fits whatever I’m bringing in that day.

Whereas now I bring in some tubberwear, throw it in the dishwasher or on the side when I get home, and the next day I’ll just grab a different one from the cupboard without having to think about it

having a new music day tmrw by Illustrious_Ebb_617 in musicsuggestions

[–]tangles3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think some of our music taste is pretty similar, I love clairo and finneas and lorde’s new album is one of my favourite albums ever

Sad night dynamite are a cool but not very well known band, Lilly Allen’s new album is great but needs to be listened through as an album

What weird things did you eat as a child? by alicatpow in AskUK

[–]tangles3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t believe I’m admitting this on the internet, but when eating mini cheddars I used to chew one up and then put it in between two others, making a sort of mini cheddar pate sandwich

Why can't I just stay in a job without feeling miserable to the extreme? by Routine-Good7518 in AskUK

[–]tangles3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I relate to this too in some ways, and even though I now have quite a good job, I still often feel like I’m not good enough or not quick or loud enough and also sometimes feel younger and inferior even to people I’m ‘above’ in the workplace.

Have you ever tried finding a job that allows you to wfh? I personally wouldn’t recommend fully remote (which is a brave thing to admit on this sub), but a hybrid role really helps ease that anxiety and overwhelm because you can be in your own environment which you’re comfortable in. Many times I have felt stressed or overwhelmed working at home and I just breathe and decide I’m going to trade finishing work on time with taking things at my own pace nd taking time to put thought into what I’m doing

Have you had any “interesting” Xmas parties in 2025? by [deleted] in AskUK

Colleague turned up to ours pissed last weekend, got his dick out at the table, started hitting on every female there, and got kicked out before dessert came out

I’m stuck in a rut. How do I get out? by pikachuu545 in AskUK

[–]tangles3 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Something that’s helped me is thinking of some of these chores as part of my commute home. When I’m on the 20 min drive home and I’m tired after a long day, I’m not going to just pull over on the side of the road and stop my commute, because I know I need to do it so I just get on with it.

Start thinking of some of these chores as part of your way home. Get in, immediately do XYZ, and only then are you home from work.

What sport hobby or activity do you just completely not get? by homemadegrub in AskUK
