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.

As in, " in my lived experience" NO NO, it's just ' in my experience' goes without saying you've lived it duh, even heard this on Radio 4 a few times recently.
Do I finish and flush mid-conversation or complete the call from the smallest room?
How on earth am I supposed to live anywhere?
EDIT: Yes I’m aware of annual leave but I don’t think I should have to have many of my holiday days eaten up by viewings especially as it’s hard to get them to line up on the same day meaning more time off. I’m also finding that when letting agents do offer me a viewing it’s SAME DAY which makes it impossible for me to either get to or book off in advance.
Why not add a cool quacking sound when you squeeze them too!
You pull one off tearing it, leaking it all over the rest gluing even more together. Sick of it.
Ohh look, this one was taken from one town over so you definitely could have seen it if you'd just left your living room for a few minutes. But no, you only remembered about it when you started seeing the photos the next morning.
Forecast for the next night: nothing for you, but we will get your hopes up by showing what it looked like at 2am in the thumbnail.
I’ve now gone outdoors for an impromptu picnic to preserve my sanity and mood. Really wanted to enjoy these two days in my own garden but the noise is unbearable. Portable speakers are one of our worst mistakes.
If you can't make it very clear what it's supposed to say, don't bother. You look like a tit. Moreso.
'It's Susie!' said Jack in a rage. He flung open the door, and there, sure enough, was his cheeky sister, wearing the S.S. button too!
I'm a member!' she cried. 'I know the password and I've got the badge!"
Go in today to buy some lunch and use my points on a couple of trays of nachos 👀… and they’ve turned off the subcard scanner.
So regardless of having been sent emails every other day from Subway about using my points before the changeover, I can’t. Maybe that’s the point.
Gets on my tits as everyone else that queues down the length of the bar get forgotten about as the bartender is forced to serve the line of people in front of him.
Nul points.
Once again, I managed to miss 'em.
I've wanted to see the Northern Lights pretty much all my life, feels like every single person in the UK got to see them tonight and because of light pollution I'm assuming I've not had a hope. Tried all the tricks with my phone camera and everything and all I got was inky black sky. Even more annoyingly so the cat has now made a jump and escaped outside when I came back in after seeing nothing at all so now I have to sit up and wait for her (she's not allowed out at night and I'm trying not to freak). Feels like a joke.
Anyway, just had to put this extreme FOMO somewhere.
Yes, we live in the same country, I can see it the same as you. intact I actually live about 300 miles more north than you, I see it considerably better.
I also know how to use my camera properly so my photos look way better than your blurry photo of a cloud
Though yesterday I thought it was a bonfire but it was actually a house fire, fire brigade were there all day
Why on earth would I be in and ready to answer the door a whole TWO AND A HALF HOURS before the start time of my delivery slot? What fucking planet are Asda from that theh believe this is an acceptable way to go about your business. If I booked a click& collect slot, Iwould be expected to be ON TIME,. Why is it any different when its them?
Guess we're getting baked one way or the other.
