1) Nothing meta, no posts about reddit, subreddit, or subverting AutoMod
No meta posts, no posts complaining about Reddit or the subreddit. Posts should apply to the outside world. Mod announcements, constructive criticisms and suggestions for improvements to /r/britishproblems should be sent to modmail.
Evading the AutoMod by way of changing words, is also banned.
All rule breaks are subject to a permanent ban.
2) Problems must be relatable to the wider British public (but not necessarily British in nature).
Problems must be relatable to the wider British public (but not necessarily exclusively British in nature). If almost everyone could easily face the same problem, not constrained by someone in your exact situation or location, then this is acceptable.
3) Submission titles must contain the entire problem
Background information may be included within the self text. Don't just list something, explain why it's a problem.
4) No politics, policies, or anything political in either comments or posts
No politics or posts about politicians. Post to /r/ukpolitics instead. Comments involving politics will be removed without warning. This will also encompass all topics around Coronavirus not limited to Clap for Carers.
5) No slurs or harassment.
Extreme or repeat offenders are banned. Racism of any sort is not tolerated. If you feel you've been banned by mistake, please message the mods.
6) No spam or surveys
This includes surveys, illegible comments, YouTube videos and adverts. If you wish to advertise please refer to Reddit's helpful page on this matter. Offenders will be banned without warning.
7) Don't treat this place like Facebook
Too many people are treating this place like Facebook or Twitter, and dumping their thoughts and specific problems onto the sub. If you have a problem that only relates to you in your situation (e.g. landlord wants to kick me out, neighbour said something to me) then other subs such as /r/OffMyChest or /r/firstworldproblems are more suited.
There is a rate limit of 1 post per 4 hours.
8) No uncivil posts or comments.
Comments should be civilised. The ban hammer will go down with no recourse or appeal; this naturally extends to mod-mail.
Reddiquette also applies.
Note: AutoMod has been set up to remove posts and comments from new users and those with low karma for review. If you feel your post(s) and/or comment(s) have been removed by mistake, please message the mods.
Please also note we will be removing posts relating to clapping for the time being.

About 12 years ago McDonald's had a BBQ wrap that was less than £2 it was small but bit of battered chicken and a special BBQ sauce I've never tasted since I used to get like 5 of these in one go, I wish I had the power of Rick and Morty to get this thing brought back it's the tastiest thing I've ever eaten at McDonald's, they had it for a few months then never came back, does anyone remember this?
I swear it adds up to weeks of my life dealing with this. I remember when you logged in and that was it. No carrying your phone everywhere, no getting locked out of everything when your number changed, No having to upload fresh pictures of 5 documents and a selfie taken on a full moon before you can edit any of it...
And that's if they have half a brain and don't go for the "need to receive a code by text to change the phone number you receive codes by text from" method.
Then find out you need an email you don't know the login for because you haven't used it for 7 years, but I need the old number to get in to that, etc, etc,
It’s nearly 2 months until Xmas, sod off already!
Not as fun anymore. Always was a chance for the £250k !
If you have never heard one scream in person then I encourage you to look it up before encountering it for yourself and thinking someone is being murdered.
All I want for Christmas is you, repeated ad nauseam but still you will sing along.
Parents who go to the gym once in a blue moon are now in the gym and ignoring all gym etiquette, including reracking weights. You realise where kids are learning it all now.
Typical. Fireworks going off left right and centre tonight. As a result, my dog is petrified and can’t go to the loo. Therefore, I’m having to stay up until the idiots decide to stop setting them off, or run out!
Last I checked, it wasn’t the 5th of November and Diwali is a festival of light, not loud pointless explosions in the sky!
Pretty sure if your kids were petrified, you would not set them off. Think about wildlife, pets and their owners having to deal with absolute fear and the mess left behind.
I know that I’ll b downvoted for this, but fireworks need to be banned.
Rant over
Diwali has been and gone hasn't it? It's not yet the weekend. Is fireworks for Halloween/bunching it together with bonfire night a thing now?
Only had 5 trick or treaters and have already ran out!
It’s hilarious
Was busy all month and by the time I had the chance to do pumpkins and pick up sweets it was far too late, figured not to do anything this year, still get people knocking on the door and freaking the dogs out, even with the lights all off. :(
Ok, obviously you can but there's always some comeback. Sometimes you buy something and your opinion is " meh", you get hassled and hassled to leave feedback so you do but god forbid it's not perfect. You always seem to have to justify it. Well I don't want to. Either stop hassling for feedback or accect the feedback you get.
I'd always just assumed it had been converted into a puppies paradise after being decommisioned.. thousands of dogs, young and old, gleefuly running about in the hallways of an iconic work of British architecture.
The fact that it was was on the cover of Pink Floyd's Animals album just all made sense.
Watching an old New Tricks episode and decided to google it, now I feel like a right muppet.
Bonus choice: the insult cards.
The top speed of the bikes that the Deliveroo/Uber Eats delivery guys use is very unsettling for use in a pedestrian only part of my city. I've had 7 near misses today
Seriously, chill. If I need to make an emergency stop, you're probably gonna end up in the back seat of my car.
Sitting outside on a smoke break and seeing the sun is setting already, where if the clocks didn't go back I'd at least get to see a little sun on the way home
I know you can get no neutral smart ones where you attach a capacitor across the lightbulb, but that doesn't support dimmer and I really don't want to go the hub route just for a dimmer switch.
Really fkn annoying...
