Is my wife's family weird or is it me
24 December 2025 @ 1:08 pm
Whenever my wife's mum visits us for a few days she brings a load of random vegetables and salad stuff from her fridge so it doesn't go off. Like usually a big bag of it. When we go down to them to stay a few days my wife does it as well. Rarely does this stuff actually get used and it just means people taking their veggies on a little excursion. This is not a thing in my family and seems weird to me to take random food to someone house unless asked or if it's food for a kid. Am I weird or are they? submitted by /u/pbizz to r/CasualUK [link]
I’m working from my mums today and she just asked me if I wanted a sausage sandwich. Obviously I said yes, and she brought me the sandwich with an additional half on the side. When I asked her why I had an extra half a sandwich, she said the first one didn’t look like it was enough.

For reference my mum is 55 and I’m a woman in my early 30s. My husband often complains that I’m a “feeder” because I actually don’t understand portion control and think everyone I meet is starving to death. I used to take offence but I fear he may be right. submitted by /u/tittychittybangbang to r/CasualUK [link] [comments]
Accidentally AWOL from work today. How first am I?

I've been working from home this week thinking that with Christmas being slow and a lot of people on AL that there would be no harm done. Today I got several angry messages from HR demanding to know where I have been. Left with a ominous "we will talk in the new year" message. Do I spend Christmas sending out job applications? I feel so stupid to have made such a silly mistake. I don't know what to tell my family. submitted by /u/Mr__Random to r/AskUK [link] [comments]
Guehi talking to his England teammates after the game finished

People reading a lot into this on social media, the fact that he didn't celebrate, that he spoke to his Arsenal team mates at the end of the match and that Mikel dapped him up after the game... he would be an excellent addition to our backline but not sure where in the squad he would be in terms of being a squad player or first choice.... submitted by /u/toge64 to r/Gunners Christmas disaster...

So the last screw to fix my new Christmas storage wall to the wall and I drilled through a pipe. This is the up pipe from the saniflow for the downstairs toilet. Water pumps up this pipe and then across the ceiling to the main waste pipe. I've drilled a 4mm hole. Can I just silicone and then gaffer tape over this? submitted by /u/bbtom10 to r/DIYUK [link] Wcgw using Word highlight effect for censorship

Elton John would like to "sing about all the things your eyes and mind can see", and then proceeds to spend the entire song singing about an abstract noun! The snowman bringing the snow is also somewhat nefarious if you think about it... submitted by /u/west_action_man to r/CasualUK [link] [comments]
Landlady served us a section 21 today (Christmas Eve). Need your advice please.

She's been trying to sell this property for 2.5yrs. It's overpriced! Nobody will pay what she was asking for it. She had it for 225k but properties in this street have never sold for more than 180k and they're much more modern than this property. This one needs a new bathroom and kitchen plus an entire rewiring. 4 properties have sold in the past 3 yrs including both our neighbours. Anway, back in March she turned up unannounced (again) and tried to blame us for her house not selling. But there had only been 2 viewings in 2yrs and one of those viewings was our new neighbours. They were interested in the house next door but couldn't get a viewing so they booked to view this house so they could get an idea of layout etc. They bought the house next door. After she came at me blaming us I finally told her that we will no longer be allowing any more viewings which is our legal right. So she threatened a section 21. I stupid
