All, and I really do mean all of them, YouTube channels that follow bratty American children around doing stuff. Trinity and Madison? Lily and Evelyn? I think they were the ones she was most obsessed with. God I hated their parents for doing this to me. This was actually my niece watching which meant that I couldn’t even stop her watching it.

Is it inappropriate to walk to the shop in a bikini top?

If it’s a shop on the beach front, it’s a bikini top and it’s fine. If you have to cross the road more than once to get to the beach, it’s underwear.

If a girl told you she had a pickled onion for her dinner, what conclusions would you come to?

As part of her dinner? I’d draw absolutely no conclusions at all, other than she likes pickled onions. As her whole dinner? She has a very severe eating disorder.

Posted by feckingloser@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 181 comments

I guess it could be argued that 4.5 hours is half a day, but as lunch is unpaid, it’s difficult to argue that op must stay on site for it. Moreover, apparently the boss is saying they had to stay until 12, which isn’t a half day, whichever way you cut it.

They don’t perfectly fit, it’s a meme. They are a millimetre or so too big so they just cover the top in the same way a coaster or anything would. You can’t use them as a lid, they get knocked off too easily. They’re a cover, not a lid.
And to answer your question, like most people I don’t use them, I just keep them.
