Brits Make The Internet A Better Place And Here Are 50 Of Their Posts, Shared On This IG Account
Interview
The Brits have many things to be proud of. If it weren’t for them, we would be deprived of cutting-edge technologies like the umbrella hat, the automatic tea maker, and the flying bicycle. Not to mention the napkin suit or the guillotine. From these creations alone, it becomes clear that the people inhabiting the United Kingdom have some truly weird and wacky personas.
Fortunately, the Instagram account British Moments lets us indulge in them even more. The account is full of snapshots from life in the UK sprinkled with British humor that are bound to crack you up. Scroll down to find them, and don’t forget to grab a cuppa before you do!
While you’re at it, be sure to check out a conversation with Sarah Macklin from the UK, creator of budget home interiors blog Dream of Home, who kindly agreed to tell us more about what it’s like to live in Britain.

Tbh that doesn’t sound too bad. I’ve heard of an idea that’s kind of along those lines that involves you getting cremated and planting a sapling over your ashes for it to use as fertilizer and personally I recon that’s how I’d like to be disposed of (assuming there’s no practical use for my corpse like medical research or organ donation) . There’s something nice about the idea of recycling the compounds of your body into the living tissue of a tree, creating life out of your death. Just not a fruit tree though cause that’d be weird as hell.

“I love our history, particularly our literature. I like to think we have some of the most famous writers in the world, from Dickens and Austen to Shakespeare and even JK Rowling. They've truly shaped our history and even had an impact on the literature that's produced in other countries around the world.”

That’s what really gave me the poos when my kids’ school started awarding points for every kid in “full school uniform” - with the winning class getting iceblocks at the end of the term. So, if I screw up with the laundry, or can’t get to the shops to buy new socks that week or if don’t want to fork out for a new pair of pants in literally the last 2 weeks of school, my kids’ class are disadvantaged? No - not fair. Not fair at all.

This is so wrong. People are so stupid sometimes and put so much energy into s**t.
Indeed, the British literature tradition had an immense impact on global literature. Genres like the gothic novel, the detective novel, and the romance novel all originated from British authors. The start of the detective novel can be traced back to the writers like Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. While the first romance novel Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded, was written by Samuel Richardson.

My landlord and I had our ups and downs, but he had my back when I needed him. A man called him and said he'd move in on such-and-such a date and would just get the key from under the flower pot. Not to worry about the former tenant. Couple things wrong with that. I was the tenant, the house was not up for rent (nor was my lease), there wasn't a flowerpot, and I was currently living alone. Likely a genuine mistaken property. Landlord couldn't get a hold of me by phone, so he drove over and knocked on my door. Holding a baseball bat. I was fine, and I mentally took back 99% of the mean things I'd thought about him over the years.

In March of 1985 in Charleston, South Carolina, while I was in the Navy, I went in to the office to pay my rent, and the very nice lady gave me a notice that the rent was going up from $325 to $400 on April 1st. When I told her that I was being transferred and would be out on June 1st, she smiled and said, "Oh, then, we'll forget the rent increase. You will have moving expenses." How nice. And, I dropped the keys off on June 1st, and there was no one there to check the place out, so I said I would call after lunch to find out what they thought of my cleanup. When I did call, everything was fine, and I got my full deposit back, along with a nice note from the owner saying what a good tenant I'd been.

My ex-husband and his family are all Geordies and their very old fashioned Granda' was stubborn as could be, wouldn't accept help or charity from anybody. His wife passed and he lived another 10 years or so, but he never cleaned his house when she was alive, because it's women's work, so when she died he still never cleaned the house. Every Saturday the whole family went round to his to have lunch together then one member would drive him to the bookies to get on the horses and we'd all rush around and clean the house while he was gone. You had to put everything back in exactly the same place, so he didn't catch on. He believed the ghost of his wife passed kept the house clean. He was a character and a half.

For the non english : Geordie (/ˈdʒɔːrdi/ JOR-dee) is an English dialect spoken in the Tyneside area of North East England,especially connected with Newcastle upon Tyne, and sometimes known in linguistics as Tyneside English or Newcastle English. The Geordie dialect and identity are primarily associated with a working-class background. Ant and Dec are Geordies.

However, just like any other culture, nation or country, the UK too can’t seem to avoid the persisting stereotypes that are sometimes far from the truth.
The one misconception that Sarah disagrees with the most is that English food is bad or bland. “I know we don't really have anything we're famous for, besides maybe fish and chips, but we take a lot of inspiration from other European countries and I personally think we have some of the best food!”

Why Brits are so courteous isn’t exactly clear. Perhaps it’s because they are quite reserved and don’t like to say things directly how they’re on their mind. So they resort to various courtesies to be a bit more indirect. Just like saying the tea “Is not bad, actually,” but really meaning “This tea tastes awful, but I’d rather not hurt your feelings.”

Even though it’s not completely clear where the British politeness comes from, it’s as much of a tradition as tea time and everyone is expected to follow it. Sometimes to a point where they are too courteous for their own good. Just like apologizing when someone steps on their foot or saying “I’m fine” even when they might be on fire.

The love of the queue can also be linked to wearing their politeness as a badge of honour. They feel proud that they can stand in line in courtesy and decorum without trying to find malicious ways to get out of it. So if you don’t want to make a fool of yourself in the UK, never jump the queue or push in and don’t ask the person near you to hold your place. Learn to respect the queue and you’ll do just fine!

Most of it was fun but this day we were repaint the outside toilets, cleaners had already scrubbed them down but I wasn't looking forward to it. Most of the morning was repairing broke stall doors. Generator connected to a big tank that he wore on his back with a pipe leading to a stray gun. And he's pulling on a full puffy hazmat suit when he turns to me and says "get the spotted paint from the van". It's just gone midday and not falling for that one. I walk past the van, across a small playing field, over the road and into the chippy.

highwaycrossingfrog 1 year ago
It depends on your local council. In my area, we have a black bin for rubbish, a green bin for garden and food waste, a blue box for glass, and clear bags for recycling. Bin day is always Friday (this will also depend on what road you live on). Green bins go out every Friday, then you alternate weeks between black bin and blue box/clear bags. If you go maybe a few miles down the road it might be completely different what colour bins you have and what goes out when and how often. It sounds chaotic, but it's fine as long as you know which week is which. Hence the binfluencers showing the way (or you can just check the council website/chart which they issue).

One morning while in college, I sat in the cafeteria doing my homework before my classes began. My adjunct math professor saw me, brought his breakfast tray to my table and sat down. I was fine with that -- until I learned he chewed food with his mouth open and liked to talk while he ate. I kept brushing bits of scrambled eggs off my books and clothes while fighting the urge to wretch. Even now, some 35 years later, I still gag at the memory. Sometimes I think I am way too polite.

"that's my driving instructor, here's the £8 do you want to go instead of me". Free lesson out of his pocket "ok". Opens the drivers side door, "not feeling well can I take the lesson instead". Got a provisional, etc and off we go. Gets back "thanks" end of... but. Turns out it was the wrong week for his fortnightly lesson, not his instructor, different firm. 40 years later and I still wonder who's lesson I took.

I was an excellent parallel parker, a maneuver that throws most people into a tizzy. One afternoon, I observed someone trying to parallel park for what I considered a comically long time.

I passed my test 15 years ago but if my old driving instructor sees me out walking he still (jokingly) asks me if I've finally given up on driving. For context I had a very large number of lessons before he eventually reluctantly agreed to put me forward and then thought I was joking when I said I passed. This makes him sound bad but I am, in fact, a very terrible driver and I have, in fact, given up before I do myself a mischief.

I have a busy full time job and my kids' education to pay for. I really have no time to watch dancing, eating or (bad) cooking videos. I can literally think of 100 better/more important things to do with my time.

I only watch Dylan on there, on the desktop website, without an account, only when he hasn't posted it on youtube or it hasn't been shared onto tumblr. Don't trust that site with a 10ft pole, internet security nightmare. Not including the sheer amount of scientific misinformation and frankly dangerous stuff that gets touted there.

I, a liberal woman with a full time job, has been banned from TikTok for my political beliefs. They didn't appreciate my perspective and experiences with homelessness, psych wards, and jail. Suit yourself ladies.

Better way to eat strawberries is to eat the tip/bottom first. The top is less tasty.

So surely it makes sense to eat the top first, saving the best bit till last?

If you pretend you're John Cleese it feels a lot less awkward, ironically

Ryanair sent me a follow-up email the day after I was looking at flights to visit my family in Birmingham, "Are you dreaming of Birmingham?" Not really, no.

My favourite thing on the Ryanair app (not sure if it happens on web as well) is if you pick a return flight and you accidentally pick a date for the incoming flight that is before the outgoing, it says something like "hey this is an airplane not a time machine" :)

This is Jungle Run, a game show from the early 2000s, similar to Crystal Maze and Fort Boyard.

There was also a LOTR themed one called 'Raven', IIRC . . .

This is a game show where children competed in challenges to find treasure within the “Jungle King’s” mythical temple. I believe the US had a similar show called Legends of the Hidden Temple.

Good on the Poms. Love their humour, laid back attitude and politeness. Nothing nasty in these at all.

I lived in England many years ago. This thread made me wish I was back.
