50 Chaotic British Memes That Only People From The U.K. Will Truly Understand

Worse, high school we had a chocolate brown uniform and as girls you were expected to wear a sky blue shirt with it. Primary school you were supposed to wear navy knickers so that should you forget your gym kit you could do it in your vest and pants. So wrong !

40 Times People Got Humbled Not Knowing Who They Were Actually Talking To (New Pics)

Non sure about that in UK, but I know that you cannot buy alcoholic filled chocolate before 12pm on a Sunday ( I got caught out on that 😳, years ago). That and weekdays cannot buy alcohol before 10am ( I thought I'd buy a bottle before work for a party I was going to in the evening and yeah that's how I found that out lol)

40 Times People Got Humbled Not Knowing Who They Were Actually Talking To (New Pics)

I asked this in a supermarket in Scotland when buying non alcoholic cider where i a 50 year old had to have the bottle approved r where it stated that it was zero alcohol . I was told that its was a moral responsibility clause that supermarkets have that states that they cannot be seen to be encouraging under age drinking even if the actual product is the non alcoholic equivalent. And what someone else said was that there is always a possibility of an error in the level of alcohol in a drink like this. The interesting thing in Scotland is that if the bottle or can is displayed within the aisles of beer,cider,wine and spirits it will ask for approval but is displayed with in the soft drinks aisles it will not. As a result the the assumption would be that case they can verify if with soft drinks it is non alcoholic

Woman Realizes Family Doesn’t Really Care About Her, Decides To Stop Putting In Effort

I have a siblings that frankly have always been the "Drama", and as a result I for long enough felt that anything going on with me was nothing in comparison to their troubles. No matter when they said, I know that you matter it was never the case. As a result, I for my mental sanity pulled away. I tell them nothing and as a result they know nothing about my likes / loves / dislikes / hates. They know nothing about what is going on with me because I closed off the drama. I can't be around any of them for more than 5 minutes without feeling anxious. If I passed tommorrow there is a lot that would go to the grave with me, including the 2 year situationship that I am neither in or out of lol

Man's Beloved Lithodora Plant Gets Randomly Stolen, He Insists On Finding The Thief

Never did find out who nabbed it or whether it had suffered a drunk incident ( upstairs neighbours had a hogmanay party that night it could have Benn taken by a party goer or removed after a someone pucking on it)

Teen Son Starts Making Around $3k A Month, Mom Wants Him To Start Paying $600 Rent

Okay, not getting all these YTA. If a child has left school they are classed as an adult. He maybe on a Gap year but there is still no guarantee that he will continue in further education, as a result he has to be shown how living as an adult works. The OP said he had suggested to his wife that they save what they get from their sons rent to help him out later and frankly that is the correct thing to do if they have a sufficient income to manage their household. ( if he didn't have the income to manage the household asking for rent in this situation would be more than valid) The important thing is OP is thinking of his sons future and his development into adult life

So in that scenario it would have made no difference as the mean girls would have been bitching at that and OP would still be on the end of their beating stick and could not win no matter what. Message to the bitches, is play stupid games and there is always a consequence!

“I Just Have To Tell You Something…”: Woman Shocked At Coworker’s Audacity

I have never had a makeup that has actually happened at work but have had a backhanded comment about appearance at a Xmas do that i organsised which I am still trying to decide whether I started it or not. Summary is tweezers as gift in Xmas cracker I said to a guy ( I don't as a rule get on with) do you want them for managing your beard and his response was " you are in need of them more". I was shocked ( I'm actually quite sensitive about the stray hairs that appear on my face and out of beauty spots on my neck and spend feel i am constantly grooming my face as a result) Because it was work adjacent rather than actually work itself and as i had made a comment first (which i dont believe was said in such a way that it was nasty) i did let it go as did nit want to ruin the party for others but I do find it upsetting

I can't eat wheat so don't have cereal a lot and as a result don't buy milk that often and as a result you cone to my house no milk for tea or coffee. My family if visiting knows this and will bring their own

30 Dates That Went So Wrong, People Noped Out Immediately

Online dating, sucks! Have 2 that jump out.1st Had spent sometime online chatting, and as happens he was sexualising the conversation so thought would be in there. We decide to meet in person, and decide on a local pub. We get there and he positions himself so that he is facing the TV showing the football match and I'm lucky if I get a decent conversation out if him for the next 90 min. After, he then expects that we will go back to mine to get it on. The 2nd, he seemed nerdy, unique and interesting. We decided to meet and different local pub, before I got there he had ordered me a beer without asking if I drank beer. His parents had just stayed over for the weekend and I had to listen to an hour of him complaining about his mother treating him like a child in his home. He decides that an hour is enough and he was going to go home to play online with his friends.

Couple Searches For Server After Long Wait, Refuses To Tip On $200 Bill Because Of What They Found

If the food itself was good, ask to see the chef so you can provide your compliments in person to them. Give the chef the tip in cash that you wish to provide for them alone. Make sure the server us aware that no tip will be provided to them as their service was not up to standard and let them know that a call will also be made to management to discuss the matter as they were not providing the service that management is paying them to undertake.

Hey Pandas, What Should I Do About This Confusing Situation?

It's obvious to me that he is in a long term relationship at minimum, possibly married with children. Anyone who leaves you hanging more than once then comes up with some lame excuse days, weeks or months later, their actions are very clearly saying that you mean nothing to them. Pay no heed to their words.

Female Employees Have Had Enough Of Planning Secret Santa, All Refuse To Participate This Year

Boss is an A*s. The correct response should have been when it was obvious that other employees wanted to participate that he take on the role. It actually does not cause any work if like our office the names are put in a santa generator. My colleague who organises it does this as we split the party responsibilities as we get our team from all over the country involved. Therefore, there is no chance for slips of paper or "who did I get?". Once you click on it the generated name is your responsibility and nobody elses

Woman Refuses To Go Through Raising Kids Again, Single Dads On Dating App Get Defensive

No parade rained on lol. I totally agree as had 3 years of online dating with typical results. In fact last guy was 53, commitment phobic, mother was in her 80s, and due to a set back in his life ( nothing to do with what ever we were doing, which let's face it ge was stringing me along) went running back to mummy with his d**k between his legs, Oh yeah to top it off, I knew due to Facebook he had a child of about 5 which in a year of seeing him he never mentioned once! Eyes are well open from experiences about the sort of guys I attract online dating

Woman Refuses To Go Through Raising Kids Again, Single Dads On Dating App Get Defensive

Feel for OP, dating in your 40s is brutal. Although not in the same situation I understand her perspective, yeah she has raised her children & there is the wish not to have to go through it again. She still suffering from the trauma of what she went through. She has fear that she connects with these fathers & gets to know & love the kids then if it's a single father(with no mother on scene) he disappears & leaves her with the kids to bring up & her going through all the trauma again. I don't have her experience, am opposite having never had any kind of real relationship & now online dating as I heading to 50. Guys certainly within my range ( 40 to 55) are in 3 camps. Those "figuring it out" - they are not ready for dating, & are not serious. Those "looking for fun", - sex only. Those ready to commit but come with kids/experiences & attitudes expected of the age group. Not an easy situation

"Is It In Yet?”: 30 Devastating Lines From Women That Stung These Men Like Poison

The worst response from a anyone when someone says sonething inappropriate is always, the "well you know that's how they are so let it go". I'm sorry nobody no matter whether they are family, best friends or a complete stranger has the right to make you accept a bully / patronizing or offensive attitude. People should think before they open their mouths and follow a couldn't give a fck attitude. If enough people called them on it enough times they would have to change

Pregnant Teacher Outraged By 6YO That Chose To Dress Up As Her For Halloween, Kid Left In Tears

The teacher, needs to behave! The only time a joke should require an apology is when it is done with the intention of mocking someone. The child, yes a child was not joking was trying to show admiration for someone in her life that makes a different to her life (obviously I know the child would not be able express it in those terms but that is what is going on there). The correct response would be from OP to teacher, sorry you were offended my child did not mean it in the way you have taken it. She will not be expected to make a public apology as she did nothing inappropriate as there was no malicious intention in the activity. If you continue to persecute her for this I will be taking this further as it is not how a role model behaves. As for those admonishing the OP for taking her child for ice cream, please already I say ! She was comforting her child as an adult was being mean to her, bullying comes in all forms and a teaching professional should know better

Woman Decides To Move Out After Roommates Find Out Her Salary: "Been Struggling To Pay Rent"

A shared house rent per person should not be determined on how much the person is earning when everybody has a defined space and some people's areas are smaller than others! Think about commercial real estate you pay per floor area and amenities, the one doing all the complaining has the master bedroom with their girlfriend therefore there share will be expected to be higher than say an "harry potter" room for example. Not the OP but the other guy is a AH as he clearly is not living in the real world in his head yet. I bet he is closeted by his parents. Even when you move in with a partner as you are now sharing the sane space to prevent any "I bring the money to this house" discussions the fair split should be 1/2 each to the running the house be it rent/mortgage/food/utilities etc.

Not to rain on your parade, but it only gets worse when you turn 50. Though kids are usually out or on their way out in our 50s, men are pretty much the same non committal mess with aging parents and their own physical issues.

Pregnant Teacher Outraged By 6YO That Chose To Dress Up As Her For Halloween, Kid Left In Tears

Replying to add the teacher could have better handled the situation by talking to the little girl privately and say something like, "I know you care about me, and I care about you too, but when you behave like this, it hurts my feelings. Since we care about each other, we need to be careful not to behave in ways that might hurt each other's feelings." You can't just automatically expect kids to understand things from an adult perspective. They're little humans and need to be taught from a place of love, compassion, and understanding. The fact this poor girl was asking her mother if she is a "bad girl" makes my blood boil. Children aren't bad. Behavior is. How this teacher got her degree without taking child development courses is beyond me.

They think that if they get OP there all their old friends will come running back. But these stupid little children are now along with their family instead making matters worse by harassing OP and making her close to reacting in a negative way that will make their life harder. People need to own their actions in life and understand their are things that cannot be forgotten or forgiven.

You might say I was lucky was what you might call high functioning so unless I had a bad attack nobody would know. I feel for OP as nobody knows apart from the individual how hard it was for them and someone saying they know how it is and they feel it can totally feel like making you wanting to say "F-off, you really don't know what goes on inside my head, you are not me".

Yes it was from a s****y retailer but he did buy it for her with love in his heart no matter what else. Although if I was being proposed to ( not that is anywhere likely to happy without any SO in my life), he better be knowing what i like because i don't do "diamonds".

Ex-Homeowners Show Up To See Former House, Get A Reality Check When Woman Doesn't Let Them In

When it's been a loving family home that was there for all your childhood we always have memories of it and want to reminise. My mother recently sold her dad's home which he had been in since 1956, she had many happy positive memories there and often says she would love to see what the new owners do with the place. Now me I would not advise going to visit old family homes as I actually feel it will 1) devalue your memories to an extent, its not the same place it was in your family, 2) it can actually cause rage if something that you hold key to your family life there has been dramatically changed. I put it to you this way, imagine an Artist painting on Canvas. If he paints over an old painting is it the same painting?

No one forces you to watch it. I wanted to avoid country-naming but this seems to happen often in a certain country that is at the same time the biggest producer of explicit adult films

I worked at Booking (dot com) about a decade++ ago and our data scientists always said: "Avoid hotels with a rating lower than 8.3". It was some kind of conclusive point of no return or something. They knew something that they couldn't share, but I've always applied this rule since that day, and I've never been disappointed. And I've traveled a LOOOOOT. Red flag: rating lower than 8.3 on Booking.
