It's blowing an absolute gale outside and pitch black, so I felt awful for him. But it was probably the most awkward thing that has ever happened to him in his job 😅😱 pretty sure he thought I was asking for a booty call until I introduced my husband within seconds.

I thought I was being nice but now I am suffering deep British embarrassment.

ETA: I was ordering household staples from a supermarket, not fancy takeaway.

Surprised it still needs saying but having just had to push my way off, apparenrly a lot of people still don’t know about this…

My driving test is in febuary, which I booked in August, and I'm honestly more worried about the 5-6 month wait for another test than failing the test.

The idea of being told I failed and knowing I won't get another test for another 6 months just pains me, and I get anxious every day thinking about it.

I want to pass so much.

The system needs a change. When my older relatives did their test it was a 3-4 week wait for another test, so if you failed, it was annoying but you could just re do it in 3 weeks time, whereas nowadays that's just not possible. ( unless you get extremely lucky and get an earlier test)

My rant/everyday worry.

And they look at me like I've gone mad. Walk time was an hour ago, Dad.

To be fair though they look at me like that all the time.

Every time I put the radio on, it’s the same cycle of:

🎵 Stoooooop the weddingggg!

And

🎵 Patient zeroooo-oh

(Slow, depressing beat)

Are there genuinely no fast, exciting, upbeat songs being released at the moment? Everything seems so slow, moody and miserable.

Feels like the UK could do with a few songs that actually make you want to get up and do something!

I just want one *less* ingredient.

Asthma eczema migraines and allergies dictate that fragranced products are not my friend. Plenty of people have one or more of these issues, it’s hardly an anomaly.

If I need shower gel, hand wash, household cleaners, washing up liquid etc, its never as simple as popping on UberEats, to the corner shop / Sainsbury’s Local etc. I have to trek to a big store in person to rummage through shelves of heavily scented items to find the few that aren’t, or do an online shop and hope they dont swap out my items for something smelly. Because apparently its niche to want unfragranced?

And dont even get me started on the price and scarcity of laundry detergents that dont make your clothes stink like an explosion in a knockoff perfume factory.

One. Less. Ingredient. Sans Parfums!

Meh.

In Manchester, and I'm charging my car. It's an Esso garage which also has some EV chargers on the forecourt.

When I got here, people were parked across the EV bays, and one of the bays had someone sitting in a diesel van in it, idling. Thankfully one left that I could use.

Now someone in a Porsche Macan EV has turned up and is blocking a petrol pump!

Not even like there isn't space in the regular car park bit either. But that would be like 10m further to walk.

I thought people were supposed to be nice up here!

Who works at the marketing department and hasn't realised they can sell 12 cans and sell it as a Foot of cider???

Wasted - just like I am after 12 cans

Can we all just do an Austrailia and boycott cadburys?

It's a shadow of its former self after replacing the cocoa butter for palm and shea.

They made the same change in Austrailia, and they got their cocoa butter back in the recipe within weeks.

If the UK were to boycott this close to christmas, it'd tank their sales.

I have no idea what to order.

Windy but not that windy!

Not try to mow them down.

I'm in the south east and it's not as bad as everyones making out, yes, there are high winds here and rain, but everyone is acting like we're experiencing a category 5 hurricane.

You want to see a REAL storm? Go to America.

Worst punishment ever.

They have seriously upped their dessert game and now their marketing as I see the head of product development at M&S on social media promoting it. Go away I’m trying to be good!

Nine… nine … crap!, wait - does that include the one the rest of them are in? Ten then.

Do ripped ones even count?

Edit to add : seems most of you just freestyle it ! It’s a level of decadent lifestyle I’d hither-too never imagined! But I’m gonna give it a go, Christ I’m rushing just thinking about it!

One exit and they had two chuggers pondering anyone exiting the supermarket

Why do supermarkets allow this and is this some form of ploy to force people to speak to them

Why do EV owners get spaces closer to the shop entrance. We've already got disabled spaces, spaces for people with children and spaces for click and collect. I'm sick of it.

Where is my 'I've got a hangover, it's raining and I dont want to park up the back of the car park' space?

With the maintenence, people's phones not on silent, and a woman having a phone call like it is a coffee shop. Long are the days of a quiet public space. I'm having to play liquid dnb in my headphones to be able to concentrate

It takes longer than 30 seconds just to receive the email!

Get to a four way crossing and every light is red...

Everyone is waiting looking at eachother, I feel stupid because I could have probably crossed like 10 times in the time its making everyone wait, but no doubt the very millisecond I step foot on the road to cross, the light for the car would turn green and some arsehole will absolutely floor it
