    That moment when you go to install a new toilet seat (after fooling around literally all night avoiding doing it) and you discover it's 1/2" aka 1.2 mm too long.

    And no, I can't put the old one back. The plastic hinges are busted.

    ... you decide you’re bored of the same, unimaginative crisp flavours but decide to check what’s on the shelves anyway and find these.

    That looks nasty.
    Does the UK not have any good chip variety? My local Walmart literally has an entire aisle for chips.

    Many funny thing going on with the wording here:

    US Chips = UK Crisps
    US French Fries = UK Chips

    So that's a flavor of crisps that happens to be fish and chips, with chips really being french fries, and the crisps really being chips.

    Yeah, we have whole aisles dedicated to crisps, too, but it’s always the same flavours (or varieties thereof); generic ‘beef’ flavour, cheese and onion, salt and vinegar, prawn cocktail, chicken, ready salted...

    I’ve had a pack of these now and they taste rather like salt and vinegar. Not surprising, I suppose, as we tend to throw a lot of that (salt and vinegar) on our fish and chips.

    Those aren’t exactly boring and unimaginative to me but I can see that you are a very jaded chip-muncher.

    Although I am very much a fan of Worcestershire sauce crisps. Or tomato ketchup. I haven't eaten Walkers in years, or I'd be the size of a spacehopper, purely down to those two culprits.

    TMW you realize your guilty pleasure is watching medical procedures, not porn.

    Nobody should ever feel guilty about watching porn.

  13. This is SFW as far as imaging and profanity, but the word "porn" is repeated about eleventy-seven times so spoiler-wrapped:

  14. We have many.

    However, we do not have Cheetos Crunchy. This makes me sad.

    TMW you find out the rumors are true, the kids you sub teach really have created a fan page for you on Instagram.

    {Swears loudly}

    How am I supposed to live up to that?
     
  17. Just ignore it. I've probably got a whole LINE hate group, I don't let it worry me.

    TMW you want to write about your experience with hearing disability and haven't the first clue what to discuss. xD

    That moment when you come home from work to discover that the football club you support have sacked the manager and appointed a new one and you start wondering if the three remaining matches are going to be enough to turn things around.

    I'm more concerned that the kids are saying things about me that are too nice. So what if I go in to teach one day and screw that all up?

    haven't you already lived up to it? otherwise there wouldn't be a fan-page for you.

    Never mind me. I'm just practicing up for Imposter Syndrome for when I (never) get successful with my books.

    And what if you get hit by a car on your way to class? Be a shame to have spent your last few moments worrying about kids on Instagram.
     
  25. But what if someone is live-streaming on Instagram and you get hit in front of them?
