  • God I love this city by bhexca (Thu 28th Jan 2021 1:44pm)
  • Glasgow is the best city of course! Ok, no offence....dear tourists! **If you go to the shithole part of town, you’re gonna encounter some trouble. I’m sorry. That applies to literally every city on earth.** People **are** nice in Glasgow. Just don’t be silly and naive. People who complain about “bams” or “wee neds” - maybe go somewhere nice? Art gallery? Go see the ballet? Go for dinner? Maybe don’t hang around outside central station at night? Maybe don’t go to the schemes if you’re not looking for that? No offence. Again. If you don’t want to talk to “junkies”............don’t go where the junkies are? Ygm? Some of you Glasgow-haters act so stuck up, but refuse to comply with basic logic. I just hate when people call our city unsafe or “rough”. If it’s a rough area, sure? Of course?.... Paris doesn’t get called “rough” and Paris has “wee bams” (google it, that’s a thing, they call it ‘the hood’, but like, in french obviously). People don’t go to the hood in Paris and say “wow, Paris is soooo neddy and unfriendly! I got robbed!” Not fair for Glasgow to get this treatment. by bhexca (Sat 6th Mar 2021 1:41am)
  • Awwww. Hope he’s okay - and I hope people are nice to him. by bhexca (Mon 26th Apr 2021 12:11pm)
  • Wrong. Stop spreading this false stereotype. I’m from Glasgow and I’m a huge cunt. You clearly know nothing. Personally if I see a Ukrainian guy in public, I simply have to be as horrible as possible to him. Usually I’ll default to a culturally specific heckle, such as “you are not as good as the Latvians and you know it.” That’s after I’ve kicked a wee dog and poverty-shamed a homeless person, as per usual, and by that point I haven’t even left the city centre yet. by bhexca (Sat 1st May 2021 8:55pm)
  • In the....Kitchen? I regret to inform you that Glasgow, Scotland, is not America in the 1950s. And it certainly wasn’t in the 1900s. (Working Class) Glaswegian women had been labouring in the heavy industries since the Industrial revolution. Furthermore, there was a considerable Catholic (Irish) presence in Glasgow. There were little polish shops. There were Italians! Believe it or not. There were people of many creeds and backgrounds. I’d politely advise you to do a basic look into Scottish history before you comment in our subreddits. This is our space. by bhexca (Sun 2nd May 2021 2:47am)
  • lol everyone in the comments is trying to explain the concept of "bad part of town" to this guy lmaoooooo This is like me moving to south London and into the lessss trendy part - I won't name names....and then logging into Reddit and being like "why is London so loud!!" I love you dude, but next time, pick a nice part of town? or don't move if you can't handle rowdiness. Why are you moving into a bad neighbourhood and slagging off the whole city? Take some responsibility. Just leave if you cannot afford to live in a nice flat / nice area here❀️ by bhexca (Tue 18th May 2021 12:35pm)
  • I'm just being honest and I'm not sure what you wanted us to do? I'm sorry that you're struggling financially - but I'm afraid it's not glasgow's fault. I wish you could live in a better area, I do, but you should have really thought about this, surely? Isn't it your responsibility? I don't see how you're now logging on to complain about and bash Glasgow. It would be mad if I were to move to The Bronx and start talking about how rowdy New York was, how rowdy New Yorkers were! It would be mad for me to move into a 'rough' post code in Leeds, and then declare how 'bad' Leeds is, right? This isn't rocket science. Don't you see? I'm not sure why this is offensive to you. It is a basic fact of life. **Don't move if you can't afford a good standard of living, in a good area, and don't then blame the city and residents of the city in which you now reside.** by bhexca (Wed 19th May 2021 12:40am)
  • Sorry - let me attempt to save face. I should have given a disclaimer - that my tolerance for utterly foolish behaviour is lacking to say the least. I'll admit I engaged in cuntery. I'm otherwise entirely empathetic where whinging isn't present, I promise. I don't kick puppies. I only bash silly people on Reddit - and they have to post a wrong opinion first. This post, I'm afraid, tempted the demon. I apologise for being too harsh on this Redditor, but I will not allow this city to be slagged where I don't see it as fair or reasonable. by bhexca (Wed 19th May 2021 12:53am)

  • Pls delete. Number 7 is what my body dysmorphia says I look like fucksake you cruel bastard by bhexca (Sat 29th May 2021 3:41pm)
  • Not to flex, but I think I have a special aura protecting me from neds. Never had an issue with them. Unless random wee guys asking for a lighter counts. A few days ago, I was walking back from Glasgow green - a little bit steaming. I walked past these dudes blasting absolute tunes and this guy drops something loud as fuck? Glass bottle or something like that, loud enough to crack. Nearly pissed my pants. Wee guy in a tracksuit stops real quick and just goes "sorry pal" with genuine look of humble regret - follows with the classic "I am embarrassed" awkward smile. Sober enough to be self aware. Clearly drunk out of his mind - Goes back to enjoying the blasting tunes and vibing. I walk away unscathed. I think I just smiled or mumbled at him? The only people who harass me on the street are creepy men or homeless people screaming at me for 50p. Neds are no bother. Probably because I radiate scheme bird energy, but that's besides the point. On another occasion, I was walking down Buchanan street with a male friend pretty late at night. As you do, we saw a group of lads and gals were out and about clearly having a good time - again, under the influence as per. Bit rowdy but not violent. As we're walking past - My mate (cunt) goes to playfully shove me, because he's a fucking dick and he forgets I am built like a nine year old child with zero muscle capacity. One of the lads - red in the face, again, steaming - walks up to us. He's dressed in his finest Polo and Trackies. Closer he gets, the more clear it becomes. It appears he can tell, then, that we're not actually fighting. "Herrrreeeee mate, I thought you were actual going for her" We laugh. My pal (cunt) shakes his head. I'm just happy this guy was looking out for me. "Save it fir the bedroom hahaha" Classic ned one liner. Perfect timing. (We still reference Feminism Ned - saver of women - to this day.) Point: Some neds are good neds. And all neds are human. You'll find many have good intentions. by bhexca (Thu 3rd Jun 2021 12:15am)
  • Not a Glasgow thing - just a man thing. RIP Sarah Everard ❀️ by bhexca (Fri 4th Jun 2021 8:39am)
  • >post about men being aggressive to women >I bring up a case of extreme male aggression "That's not relevant 😑😑" So what year did you drop out then? Primary five? I'm assuming you have the capacity for basic empathy and understanding of the constant threat of violence women face. by bhexca (Sat 5th Jun 2021 10:54am)
  • Ngl baybez, we do love a good Ukrainian and we're heavy biased in their favour. Who ain't? ALSO, fibber! You didn't really give any context as to why a "mob" followed you? Or how that began?....I think we both know that people don't just fight you for zero reason, pogchamp. I have a punchable face, I'm rude, I'm entitled, I'm a ratty wee bitch, actually - but no "mobs" have ever tried to fight me, not even on a late Friday night. I've also got English friends and English family - no one just **randomly** picks a fight with them, no matter how much alcohol is consumed. So I think you've embellished your story, to say the least. If you want to be liked in Glasgow, maybe try being a hot, sexy, cool, funny Ukrainian person? Or just be polish? Because we do like the polish. Good luck, anglo. Try not to get totally randomly jumped again. by bhexca (Sun 20th Jun 2021 1:54pm)
  • IDEA: Head on down and have a good time. Introduce yourself. Get some free food. It'll be great. If you're going to live in a lively neighbourhood - commit to it. You might meet some nice people. Who knows. Again: free tea/coffee and biscuits. Imagine how much money you'll save if you eat all their snacks. by bhexca (Sun 27th Jun 2021 2:26pm)
  • churches literally never shut the fuck up about having tea and coffee legit its their main sellijg point bc they know wee schemie fucks like me would sit and hear abt jesus for a couple hours for the potential of a rich tea biscuit and watery latte babe dont slag the lifestyle xoxoxoxooxox by bhexca (Sun 27th Jun 2021 7:03pm)
  • exactly redditor u/swoombliss you are smart and sexy and you get it ​ free wafer ALSO OP see if you can stealthily scoop a wee spoonful or two of their church coffee into ur pocket when they aren't looking and pop it in ur nescafe gold tin at home instead of buying a new one. by bhexca (Sun 27th Jun 2021 7:01pm)

  • what an innocent, wholesome post, u/RacistImmigrant91 by bhexca (Wed 14th Jul 2021 3:39pm)
  • wasn't really a date because he's my pal but anyhooooo - me and my pal (absolute shagger btw) went to go see 'In The Heights' - he's a music student, I just wanted to spend time with the dude, so I was like fine, I'll pay fucking near enough ten quid for the ticket and another fiver nearly enough for the privilege of a pepsi max. NEVER say no to a pal, right? Cinema had about what? maximum six other people? We went in the middle of the day, weekday, to a musical. Older guy across from us was watching the trailer on his phone, nobody seemed too hyped apart from one couple talking about the movie up the back seats. Sat there, fucking seething, mind you. Face tripping me, huffing and puffing like a cow. Till about ten mins in, it gets really cringy, but like, not regular musical cringy, stunningly comical levels of cringe. I was loving it. Every other song went like, 'immmmmmm an ethnic minority, im latin, im latin, and allllllsoooo im having financialllllll difficulties (myyyy parents had to immigrate heeeeere, it was hard, it was haaaard) identitttyyyy crisssisss, identitttyy CRIIIISIS, hot love interest, hot love interest (MONEY ISSUE MONEY ISSUE, DID I MENTION IM HISPANIC, IM HISSSPAAAANICC)'. I was honestly having the best time of my life, couldnt even look my pal in the face because we were both struggling to contain ourselves. We got so many inside jokes out of it - every time a character said a cringy line, i'd look at my pal, he'd look at me, buckled as fuck. It was a borderline ten out of ten experience, and if you really REALLY like this girl, you need to take her to see 'In The Heights'. Its perfect. I don't think any film has ever made me smile and laugh that much. Beautiful levels of cheesy-ness. Ticked every box for me, sing-rapping and everything. I love my pal so much more for having experienced this with him. by bhexca (Sun 25th Jul 2021 6:15pm)
  • Oh look, its the 'you're cringe if you like asian food' police..... literally what is wrong with you? Why are you even in the glasgow (!) subreddit if you are\* 1) a total dick 2) gonna piss and shit and cum your pants anytime anyone asks about getting *food in glasgow*? Jesus. What are you, jamie oliver? Can i ask for some good chow mein reccs or does that make me a pretentious cunt too? Just make myself a wee bread and tears sandwich aye? by bhexca (Sun 15th Aug 2021 12:42pm)

  • Thanks for all your comments. I'm absolutely useless and I was trying to get my Indian friend (from India) back to where she was staying safely, on a wee bus, as you might gather. I know fuck all about transport and so you guys were my first port of call. She had a really good time in Glasgow. TLDR; ended up getting the bus with her. I think I fancy her. A lot!

  • RIP cunts from commuter towns trying to get into work lmao we’re fucked Clarkston, East Kilbride, Hamilton, Larkhall, and Newton Mearns (etc) currently on suicide watch. What’s that, wagie? Missed your bus? Sad! by bhexca (Mon 25th Oct 2021 6:14pm)

  • Fair. Assuming they’ll be keeping an aye on him to make sure wee bams and “the environment..... is actually a conspiracy theory” Twitterbrained headcases don’t draw any cocks in his vicinity. I think his message is quite sweet overall. Bit pandery / kissy and cuddly but I get what it’s trying to convey. by bhexca (Mon 25th Oct 2021 6:25pm)
  • Why would that be? Mate - personally I’m more hopeful in these times when people can call their abusers out publicly rather than stay silent. Not too long ago it was the whole casting couch sexual coercion being the butt of a “don’t let the director get too close” joke. People literally memed about Weinstein being a wee creep. This wasn’t that long ago. It was considered part of the industry. That wasn’t a very fucking hopeful way to be. Patch brushing that shit off. Patch the way police used to fully ignore street harassment.....as much as I hate people who bumsook the police, at least now you can report upskirting and harassment without as much resistance and cuntery as before. Ask your mum what being a bar girl in the 80s was like and then tell me ‘me too’ is the opposite of hope. I’ll ‘me too’ any cunt who sexually harasses me and I’m not sorry. I’ll Facebook ur gran and tell her that you were being a wee freak. We don’t accept that shit anymore. It was never okay. by bhexca (Mon 25th Oct 2021 8:50pm)
  • Well I’m giving you a woman’s perspective but I’m one woman. No doubt as a man you’ll have your own take on it, which is fine. We all have different experiences and move through life differently. by bhexca (Mon 25th Oct 2021 9:02pm)
  • hi bestie by bhexca (Tue 26th Oct 2021 4:58am)
  • I mean, better smoking / selling weed than the hard stuff. But - Fr man, you sit by the Clyde and I swear people legit sell weed out in public, loud as hell, making no effort to conceal it. Swear they’re less discrete than the cunts who punt weird religious sects near st Enoch pure screaming about Jesus and aliens. Like these guys will smoke, sell, and smoke again and nobody bats an eye. Honestly, never seen anything violent come of it, although I’m not saying I “support” spending your money on that - the same way I don’t “support” buying that amount of money’s worth of alcohol, greasy food, hookers & cigarettes. To each their own, but anything that makes your brain produce the ~calm~, the 😎happy😎 or the WAaaaavy by nature involves your brain chemistry and I can’t say I support cunts becoming reliant on any substance. Inb4 “green ain’t addictive”, which aye, okay cool kid. It’s not heroin. But it’s still messing with the chemical compounds in your wee heed the way habitually smoking, drinking, gaming, overexercising, or any compulsion does. I’m not your mum though. The science is for the science people to decide. by bhexca (Thu 28th Oct 2021 9:21am)

  • No but I think it’s disrespectful how our public travel services have been disrupted, work hours changed due to that, as well as tax payer money being spent only for certain public figures not to keep their eyes open?? Not being rude. I understand it’s hectic and they are busy + jet lag too. I’m just trying to see where this is all going and how all this effort will eventually manifest. I am one hundred percent in support of tackling climate change. I am also very skeptical that this big performance will do anything substantial. How are you gonna talk about “take the bus, don’t drive” and then negatively impact the bus routes? Come on. Madness. Please spend that money on public policy instead of shipping politicians in from elsewhere. by bhexca (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 12:34am)

  • Yeah true bestie but it’s not malicious - because we all collectively agreed to bam you about. Because we’re pals. Ohhh noooooooo, do you not like getting your notes inspected? Are you rrrrrraging? Did you have other things to do today? What a shame. Is that even real money? Look how silly it looks. What does that say? Can you read it? Do you all walk about with your silly little money in your silly little wallets? Bet you do. I think I’ll need my manager to come over so he can verify this ‘money’.

  • Ew. Gross. Literally it’s so cringe that it’s 2021 and people still somehow care about religious sectarian bullshit. I’ve yet to meet a person my own age who gives a fuck. It’s always weird old scummy people who never left their street clinging to their last shred of power. Edit: holy fuck it’s 2022….

  • Downvoted comments are always the funniest by bhexca (Sat 29th Jan 2022 2:33pm)
  • Reading this thread got my nogging jogging again (discussions around brutalist architecture, post war housing, etc) and honestly I think most of us can agree that it’s interesting how people like Sir Basil Spence were all about the porous concrete high rises for the worker masses, and yet went home to anything but. Beauty matters. It’s a valid criticism when something is just….fucking ugly. And when it makes zero sense for the weather. Concrete in our cold, damp climate…. I’ve been wanting to do a whole podcast rant about this after watching a shit ton of documentaries about this issue. It happened all across the UK in the 60s with the concept of “cities in the sky”. Lack of amenities, kids playing in hallways instead of actual gardens, poor maintenance, damp. How the fuck did they get away with this? by bhexca (Tue 15th Mar 2022 2:20pm)
  • Nah. Also, dunno if yous relate but I never get approached by the Mormons or the JW in person, and it makes me confused ngl. What’s wrong with me? Why don’t you want to talk to me? One time me and my ex literally stopped to hear these weird Mormon (?) American people say their bit in Glasgow city centre and I literally felt like the wee guy was itching for us to bounce. How many other people would have given you the time of day??... engaged with you? Because they genuinely were interested in your religion? And you have pure shit enthusiasm? On the other hand, those wee communist Marxist people always like me, and some Muslim lads gave us a wee Koran ages ago - And they were so sound and genuinely interested in talking to (and arguing) about their religion with me and my annoying wee pal. It’s just the Christians who don’t like me, unfortunately. They radiate snobby bitchy vibes, I can’t lie. So stuck up. You can’t just pick and choose who’s allowed to know about Jesus. That’s not how it’s supposed to work. by bhexca (Thu 14th Apr 2022 2:32pm)
  • /srs I went through - and in many ways, am still going through - a mini crisis from, I wanna say late September (November ?) all the way through to like January. I don’t wanna get into it detail-wise because I don’t think traumadumping online is good for you folk reading this, but holy fuck, there’s layers, baby! Part of feeling more like me again was reclaiming myself. A ‘me’ apart from who I was - who I was around other people, a particular person, an idea of myself. This is especially important I think for people who deal with image-based mental health issues. Who am I outside of this taximermied, cultivated, good little worker, with a job, and a moderated tone of voice, and all these ideas about my ‘self’? Who am I when I have nothing? What matters, and what is just a part of this weird social veil? I go for walks. And this is going to sound borderline suicidal (I’m a young woman), but I go for walks at night. Through safe residential areas - but yes, I’m aware that’s risky. Why at night? 1. It calms me. 2. I’ve accepted I can be assaulted during the day anyway! :) randomly! Anywhere at any time! we learn such fun things! :) so fuck it. 3) I am reclaiming my time, my space, my self. I don’t need somebody up my ass. I don’t need the person, persons, or thing, or idea I was hiding behind. Me, myself, my music. And the dark of night! Again, wouldn’t recommend for safety reasons. But I’m past caring. I love being the only person walking around at night. I genuinely look forward to it. It makes me feel so much better. Turn your music on, walk around. Spend time with yourself. Nothing else exists but you in that moment. You’re allowed to be sad and emo and cringe - I let myself fester in my rage and bitterness and just walk around residential streets at like 9pm looking fucking furious. Because I am furious. And that is okay. You and I, we will be okay. by bhexca (Thu 21st Apr 2022 8:25pm)

Read the post again and tell me why you’re giving him advice on how to ‘kill time’ / ‘boredom’ when this man is reaching out regarding not eating for 3 days, wishing he was dead, and having no friends? In God’s name stop provoking me, demon. I promised myself I would stop arguing with gammons on Reddit dot com!! Begone!! by bhexca (Thu 21st Apr 2022 9:20pm)
  • Unironically film them doing it. Post it to socials, better yet, put it on TikTok. Reddit slags TikTok kids for being cringe (true) but by god, do they hate racism. They’ll ruin his life. If you can get the vandal’s face in it, they’re done for. Use the power of the internet for good. Obv keep reporting it to the council and stay on their tits about it the best you can. This is also a hate crime I’m pretty sure ? Somebody can confirm that. Also, absolutely challenge this cunt if you feel safe to do so!! Edit: fuck I said racism? Trans people aren’t A race… I apologise. I also assumed “him”…but women can be scumbag bigot vandals too!! Yess queen by bhexca (Fri 22nd Apr 2022 12:52am)
  • I think the young female hospitality equivalent of this accent anxiety is the immense grief I am overcome with whenver the CAAAAM ONNNE ENGERRRLAAAND types, or the 'ussuns or themmuns' football tourists come into my work telling me how sexy (boke) scottish accents are and following about to quiz me like I'm their personal weegie slave. And then proceed to tell me I'm 'not local surely' because I don't have their idea of what Glaswegians sound like, as per Still Game and ScottishPeopleTwitter. Listen, I'm glad you like Scottish people, but I wasn't prepared for this spontaneous voice acting you folk demand of me. They genuinely cling so hard and they don't leave you alone until they've interviewed you...dude, I'm trying to work? There's a queue? Cash or card? Bless them, but its like, please consult my middle aged male coworkers if you want to talk about the bar in Govan you went to in 1985. I am an oat milk drinking, uni-going little femcel. I literally cannot provide the Kevin Bridges patter you demand of me, dear weary traveller. Nevertheless, I will try. Their hearts are in the right place, I think. by bhexca (Wed 27th Apr 2022 4:14pm)
  • Very much agree. Qualifications on this subject: girl in a bar job. I don’t actually mind football fans at all, most of the time. All they do is get embarrassingly drunk, make pitiful attempts to impress me, and then get kicked out for snorting gear. The worst they can do is be rude or loud. Sometimes they piss off of balconies. I end up just feeling a bit sorry for them and trying to make their night as good as possible like I would with a normal punter - i.e I do actually talk to these people and entertain their ‘banter’. The sad part is when they think I’m flirting with **them…..** or start trying to fight my normal customers based on…..teams ? Or randomly shouting football slurs? What is that all about ??? I think the gear makes them delusional. by bhexca (Mon 2nd May 2022 1:26am)
  • Lol probably because I didn’t say “kill all football fans” - nor did I say “football good”. People don’t like nuance, in my opinion. Maybe I’m wrong, but everyone deserves empathy, up until a certain point. However, I do only have so much patience. I don’t think it’s a black and white issue. There are certainly worse groups of people, and there are better. I guess what I’m trying to say is to see the person. Found a lot of them are part of a generation of deeply lonely men - and this becomes clear once they start talking to you about anything non-football. Then they go and piss on the floor in the smoking area. It’s so frustrating. I guess this is why I can’t hate them. Because I wish they had something else outside of shouting at the opposite team. And I also wish they’d stop trying to find self esteem in fighting random wee guys outside my work. That would be nice. by bhexca (Mon 2nd May 2022 1:28pm)
  • Only thing that happened to me recently is When Celtic was playing whoever the fuck it was? Anyways - I was coming out of central station on my way to work, and some wee guy in a football top near the ticket machines made the bold move of establishing eye contact with me (football equivalent of Scrooge btw) - goes like, “you! are you a Celtic fan?!!” in such a…..excited, joyful wee guy voice that I simply could not form a cheeky response. That was just so pure. Gave the boy a wee nod. Glad he was having a good time. by bhexca (Thu 19th May 2022 2:23am)
  • Listen I don’t mean to ruin this for you, but if it’s a busy shift, someone asking me to keep a pound for myself (while appreciated) doesn’t mean I can magically serve them quicker than other people. It means I get to add a pound to our tip jar - which again, thank you, we appreciate it. It means you’re sound. There’s still a queue of six other couples, friend groups wanting to get rounds in, two old ladies waiting for cups of tea in the back, a floor that needs mopped because some wee guys just spilt sambuca, someone who needs their break covered upstairs, and people waiting for someone to take their food orders at their tables. You’ll get served when I serve you. It’s that simple, and I say that with gratitude and respect. It’s just how it is. by bhexca (Sat 21st May 2022 4:45pm)
  • Okay, convictedpedo69. Good feedback. by bhexca (Sun 22nd May 2022 7:51am)
  • I feel like I would start getting somewhat smugly **comfortable at around £40k** - especially if I married someone on a similar salary. Not *until* £60,000 would I start doing the weekly shop at M&S, and around £70,000 I think I would be calling my kids Onyx and enrolling them in art therapy and all that shit. Or is that upper middle class? I see myself as like, an artsy rich person and not a west end wanker if ygm?? Like a Dennistoun (idk how to spell it) rich person. Seriously though…Some of it is social perception. I’m a uni wanker, bisexual, and I like oat milk…so initially, laypersons assume I’m middle class. But, I’m 20F, making part time spendies as a bar wench, and my parents raised me on like £20k a year. We had and have financial difficulties as a family. I wish people understood you can be a pretentious cunt and still povvo. The Scottish idea of “dyed hair, uni, and vegan, you’re middle class and a wank” should be altered to “dyed hair, uni, and a vegan, you are a wank!”. Since the SNP made uni free since forever ago!! Planking outside pret is for everyone now. Thanks comrade nicola by bhexca (Tue 24th May 2022 8:29am)
  • That could be an essay question in a sociology class. He’s giving very Katy Price, very Joey Essex, etc - born to working class parents, but upwardly mobile because of his trade / occupation as a public figure. He’d get followed around by the staff at Waitrose, and he wouldn’t fit in at some self-serving charity fundraiser - unless they knew who he *was*, because their perception of him as lesser or other can be surpassed by his permission slip, i.e “I am a famous sportsperson”, or similar to the way working class Jimmy Saville famous’d his way into chilling with literal Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher - Wayne Rooney can use his social capital to be mobile in that setting. by bhexca (Tue 24th May 2022 8:35am)
  • I absolutely love Chaakoo. The food is impeccable and the experience is relaxed - tasteful decor, helpful staff, diverse menu. My only regret was not getting one of those cool Indian milkshakes. What’s really great, is that Chakoo’s portion sizes are perfect. It’s similar to tapas, you can order 3 things and they come out on 3 little plates. Rant time. This is so rare for Glasgow restaurants now IMO. It’s always so much food in terms of volume. I hate restaurants where you order one thing, and they bring out like, a massive plate of whatever it is. Then you’re sitting there eating pasta or whatever, and you can only really eat THAT pasta IF THAT, because you’re full half way through. It’s a shame because of the waste and the fact that you’re going out to eat and only being able to fit half a main…a lot of Italian places are really bad for this. Tapas-style always. Always. by bhexca (Mon 4th Jul 2022 1:51am)
  • A friend of mine had this train from Glas. to Lockerbie cancelled. He had to sleep at a coworker’s house - to wait the next day out for a train! The whole day. Jesus. What is this country becoming? by bhexca (Wed 6th Jul 2022 11:24pm)

  • Imagine if they marched instead for the thousands of homeless and destitute people living in poverty. Imagine the amount of our tax payer money these dobbers will waste when it comes to cleaning up after them, and their mess - broken bottles, broken noses, whatever else these people do. Protesting them in the street is a bad idea. Incredibly unsafe. This is a political issue. Write to your MSPs. by bhexca (Wed 6th Jul 2022 11:37pm)
  • A lot of young men seem to really rely on the confidence boost from ‘gear’ and binge drinking. It’s normalised, too. Many of them aren’t bad people at all. It’s quite sad to me how a lot of them need at least two pints and a line of coke to start a conversation, because when they’re sober they just can’t hack it. I’m sure fellow female bar staff can back this up - groups of guys on a ‘sesh’ legit just stare you down until they get drunk / coked up enough to start ‘talking’ to (at) you. I had a usually normal regular, I think he does doors at some place, who I’m absolutely certain was on coke, or some kind of drug, come up and tell me he sees me on the train home sometimes - tells me I have ‘perfect teeth, not turkey teeth, not like (sniff) like fake teeth’ (?) and proceed to continue this line (pun?) of bizarre dialogue for the next few minutes. Tells me my hair is messy. Why is it messy? …etc etc. His pupils? Insane. Not sure what drug it is that does that. That’s for the bouncer to deal with ig. Lost a bit of respect for the guy. I’ve never seen him like that before, but it’s worryingly common how often I’ll have someone saunter up - someone who I’ve seen before when they were apparently sober, like someone who briefly made eye contact earlier that night - and they just launch into a coked out monologue. I actually had a nutter stroke my head once, I swear to god. Not like, stroke my hair, but like a wee pat on the head you’d give a good little dog. And this was a guy who earlier couldn’t look me in the eye at the till like less than 2 hours ago. And I’m standing there like, ? And you have to wonder and hope there’s someone taking care of them out there. The bouncers can only ever do so much to try to stop this. The real danger I think is when they get aggressive towards the staff. Again, it bothers me when my usually nice, normal regulars transform into absolute cretins. It bothers me that people think they need this shit to have a ‘good’ time. And they act surprised and angry that staff obv can’t serve them when they’re that far gone. by bhexca (Thu 7th Jul 2022 12:03am)
  • 21F - non-parent weighing in. If I needed to, I would. I don’t think there’s any shame in being fr with your kids if you’re going through a financially challenging time, and it was perhaps best to then get the kids pitching in - whether it’s older teens temporality contributing towards the family rent in time’s of need, helping with the food shop, maybe paying for their own outings, etc. That’s fair. However, I don’t plan on having kids until I can afford to….afford them. That includes all their emotional and financial needs to set them up for a good life with hobbies, education, toes and going out on the weekend to see their friends. As for charging my kids ‘rent’ (as some parents call it, which is quite weird and cold IMO)…. I am not a landlord and they didn’t sign a contract to agree to owe me money by being born. I had the sex. I had the pregnancy. I chose not to have an abortion. I - hopefully - wanted the child and the responsibilities that come along with it. It’s my responsibility. Kids should have part-time jobs to set them up to compete in a job climate which requires them to have work experience, though. Insofar as they can manage and it doesn’t interrupt their education. I also believe in encouraging your kids to save. If it’s easier to have them send you, say, £20 a week to put away, that’s fine. I just personally wouldn’t birth a human and then tell them to go to work so they can fund my mortgage, ygm? by bhexca (Sun 5th Mar 2023 8:14am)
  • So the crux of the issue….the issue here is that the street salespeople, who have always been a thing since like - ever - tried to sell you a thing, and in doing so, they said a cheeky thing to try to rope you in through humour, but see the issue is that you’re in a bad mood and s- and homeless people exis- Oh god. I could totally see myself posting this. And i’m really, really annoying. Think about that for a second. Negative outlook and whatnot. If you actually want to do something about homelessness….vote & protest. Like, IRL and whatnot. by bhexca (Fri 12th May 2023 5:07am)

  • Doesn’t need to feel like a rescue mission. Be sound about. Can go like: “Pffff. How pish are these stairs, mate? Aye. Genuinely. Nah, they do me and the missus in. How long have you been here? Ah alright. Me and (x) have stayed here for (x) - she works in (x) herself but im (x) so its not too bad for getting to the work. Are you working yourself? Ahh alright. I see.” If he doesn’t take to you, leave him be. Just talk to him conversationally and see if he bites. Edit: this is obv more about getting to know him for certain if you can and knowing more about his situation, also letting him feel he’s got a friend in you if he needs to reach out on his own accord. Unfortunately, he might be stubborn and set in his ways. by bhexca (Fri 14th Jul 2023 11:22pm)
  • Look at reviews for avant garde too :) I worked there on saturday. One twenty minute break to scarf down food, and being allowed one soft drink from the bar, for a 12 hour shift, is not acceptable. Are you actually out of your mind? I’ve worked at busier and been treated far better. The place is hardly packed, usually. He likes to drink and talk to customers about how incompetent his staff are - nice and loud. Which is super professional. And he wonders why he can’t retain us. He wonders why one review calls him a goblin. Oh, and the way he speaks to us is quite interesting. Do it now - read the reviews! Please. Anyway, I got another job. L. M. A. O. Sorry boss. by bhexca (Wed 19th Jul 2023 11:57am)
  • Aye i can honestly say shoutout to ur man who owns / manages ‘Grace’s’ right near avant garde though. Worked there like earlier this year and he’s sound although it wasn’t for me in the end and i left. P sure we had like a 30 min food break for long shifts and then another 20 min. This should be the standard. Meanwhile the walloper who owns AG wants me to scarf down a boiling hot and very salty macaroni the kitchen just flamed tf out of in TWENTY BASTARD MINUTES. Naur.

  • Hi! CRUK (cancer research UK) has a shop on queen st. I can personally verify (me, random redditor who kinda volunteers every now and again) that the clothes are high quality brands and reasonably priced. I’ve seen mid to high priced second hand brand lables sell from anywhere between 10-20. Think there was viv westwood jeans selling for around £20 last time I volunteered? Anyway, if your wife is looking to lift her mood and get some nice clothes for a relative steal, and she doesn’t mind second hand - CRUK is a good shout imo. Hope she’s alright btw. This sounds like a total nightmare. Ik she could pick up some good staples from charity shops in general. by bhexca (Fri 15th Sep 2023 12:08am)
