Keep your shoes polished
Don’t ever be late for work/school
Shoulders back
It’s only out of date if it smells bad
Look after you brothers and sister
Don’t be a dick

Haha!!! Brilliant.

I used to sneak into my Dad’s bedroom and snaffle at his biscuit collection. Even when he was having a nap during the day :grimacing: I knew where all the creaky floor boards were and I’d always leave a few biscuits in the wrapper so it wasn’t obvious I’d been at them.

They knew exactly what I was doing.

Keep all receipts, forever.
Get your car serviced twice a year (genuinely thought this was law until recently).
Vote labour.

Being on time (or more likely way too early) for absolutely everything, and not being able to tolerate people with lazy timekeeping.

  • Inability to recognise I’m having a crisis until it’s right on top of me making me act weird
  • Large portions of pasta
  • Atheism

Being early for everything
Probably being a bit of a doormat in person

If you’re not overeating, it’s not a proper holiday

Housemate at uni used to do this. He was shit at portioning his food too, so he’d be sat picking away at a mountain of pasta or chips or whatever for like an hour.

I have one parent who is unusually passive and one who is unusually the opposite of that, subsequently I’m a weird combo of the two, both really passive but inwardly super stubborn and difficult, the conflict rages inside me

Yeah it’s must be years since I’ve seen anyone in my family hug, discounting children

being tidy to the point where it consumes my life and I try to make a joke of it but inside I’m like dear god this throw being slightly wrinkled is unbearable
and having no friends :metal:

wish I could have some of their other traits instead like dad taking a rocket lolly into every bath and mam being a stone cold stunner but nevermind

:smiley: might start doing this

My Dad hugged me a few years ago and I couldn’t believe it. Stunned it ever happened.

I don’t think I can remember my parents ever hugging me, I remember a couple of years ago it dawned on me ‘oh yeah, my parents are just as reserved as I am, maybe that is no coincidence’ literally never occurred to me before, I just thought I was a weirdo

My mum is reasonably outgoing, my dad is quite quiet which I’ve annoyingly got from him

I think I was like this once upon a time. then I befriended a bunch of people who literally hug EVERYONE. Now I cannot get enough of that sweet, sweet hugging. After hanging out with one of them I went to meet another unhuggy friend at the pub, as I walked towards him I forgot myself for a moment and I flung open my arms wide to greet him, he looked aghast.
