2 blokey decorators staring at my ceiling. Cat walks in mid convo.
Decorators: *bend down and hold hands out* "ooh hello puss cat".
Me: "you're hired".

Why don't companies have specific departments for this, where you email them/upload to a portal the death certificate, and they just deal with it.
@AngryBlackLady
I'll save you a read - they shat themselves all the way down the plane as they tried to make it to the toilet from their seat. They then slipped over in it and slid back down the plane due to turbulence. It was so bad they had to rip up the carpets and replace them.

My brother does this. All of his furniture is against the walls with a massive gap in the middle. Every time he posts pics at home on FB I'm screaming this.

I used to call out to my Mum several times in a row - gaps inbetween though and pretty damn loud. Nothing. As soon as my bro opened his gob though? Instant response.

I'm not quite so well paid but I am a loved, housed and employed woman who also had a termination. I do not regret my decision and I am continually grateful that I had the choice as well as the support of my choice x
@dieworkwear
For any women out there - just buy the men's ones, I get them new and in charity shops. They just fit better; correct length and shoulder width. I'm so sick of overly fitted women's jumpers you can't fit anything under.
@NicoleCLindsay
This is great but why do a lot of women not listen to the older ones before that point? I was never bothered abut having kids but then I saw my older colleagues struggle with their kids' illness/school pickups etc plus work. It just looked so awful. Absolutely put me off for life
@fesshole
People need to learn how to sit quietly with others. Husband's friend and his wife came for the day one summer and she and I just sat with books in the garden sunbathing. Barely talked, and it was one of the nicest visits ever. Spoke briefly once in a while but wasn't forced

I once joined a 24/7 gym down the rd because we had plumbing problems which meant we had zero water for days. I wasn't going without a shower 😬
@MichaelaOkla
Noe this is why I haven't bought one. I keep seeing lovely pictures of other people's and they're all "it's washable!!" and I'm like 'in what? The garden with a hose?'.
@latkedelrey
Interesting post and responses. My parents re-enact parts of my life really dramatically too, it's really weird. It's like they were in a parallel universe when things happened and then compulsively lie to their friends to make out they had to sort it out.
@hannahleewrites
I did this with a kid in Bristol area who was short of cash for a ticket. Was pissing it down outside. I got up, bought a kids single on the app and scanned it. Driver was all "I wasn't gonna leave him there in the rain". Well you weren't letting him on either, so....
@lauralexx
This lady snoozes must of the night but sometimes gets lonely/cold and comes in our room. If super tired we close the door but she might scratch at it. She does stop if we ignore it for a bit - sometimes you just need to sleep without being sat on/against!
@porn_horse
Oh my good god, what a lucky kitty!! This one goes into full hunt mode with chicken too. I once chased her through the house as she stole a drumstick from my plate and ran off with it...
@lauralexx
She does like to actually be 'put to bed' on my step sons bed though. She'll circle round it even when he's not there, asking to be petted til she's settled
@MrBoothY6
Heard about someone earlier who had their turkey crown order cancelled today, and their large ham was replaced with x3 thin sliced ham packets.
@lingerie_addict
My Mum kept buying me items from a boutique where she lives iver the years that were 'wool' or 'cotton'. I put most of it in a charity shop as it was polyester when I checked the labels (but also sweating!). Kept one pullover, which is a wool/modal/silk mix
@OgLakyn
See also makeup tutorials. Yes, all of those layers of endless concealer and contouring look great in front of a ring light, but in real life, you look ridiculous. Like, your whole head is different from the rest of your body.
@fesshole
I don't think people realise that this is super serious if it happens. They can stop the ceremony and start an official investigation to see if there's anything behind it, even if it was a joke. Your wedding day can essentially just be cancelled on the spot.
@JMonee_
See also 'do you want to be friends' in your 40s. It's nice to have it spelled out at an age where we've just got used to being nice and polite to everyone. It's good to be obvious when you want more friends!

Agreed. Insisted on a meeting with HR and MD at an old job due to toxic environment which cause me to be signed off on medication. Husband wouldn't let me go without him there as no-one else was going to help me

Surely you can just tell by the cut and the feel of the fabric. If it feels like it's going to burst into flames just from moving while wearing it, it's from shein.

Everything she wears looks like it was made for a taller person, then given to her last minute. That last layer of pearls at the bottom should have been left off.

I was out clubbing in Liverpool at 16. Train over with friends from Wirral, taxi back about 1am. My parents were pretty on the ball and attentive my whole life, but they never knew what went on on those nights out. Can't always blame parents.
@ASonNamedBort
It's merely for the flex of the school and parents so strongly agree. So many universities and employers are going to look at that and think 'well they can't socialise or have personal interests, why would we take them on?'
@ellieokwilson
Even the judge couldn't believe is ears, clearly. I'm so glad you've got justice twice. What a horrific pair of human beings that have come into your life.

Holidays in Florida were interesting as even when I stayed in a holiday home/villa in a neighbourhood, there weren't any pavement to get to the nearby shopping mall, pharmacy or gas centre shop. People would stare while I tried to cross busy junctions!
@simonerubin
Seen many a documentary about 'gifted' children. They only seem it because they hit IQ and general educational development markers (in a specific subject like Maths or an instrument) much quicker than other kids. Once other kids catch up, they're not special.

untick the box in settings that says 'allow anyone to Dm you, even if you don't follow them'. Always wondered why I never get them, turns out I've always had this unticked!
@charliclement_
I hate the "I've never had a sick day!" crowd. Really suffered over the yrs with horrific flu and viruses because people didn't stay away from the workplace. I was v.poorly last wk (not covid). In B4 Times I wouldn't even think of going in. I didn't even feel well enough to WFH.

I love how everyone always assumes nothing has been said before. He could well be a useless knob who won't listen, and she's just had enough.
@fesshole
My Dad has been a terrible driver since his 40s. Now in 70s and he still drives long distances in a huge Merc saloon (says he needs size for goldlf clubs). He can barely turn it round in our driveway and can't even turn his head to check his blind spot. Terrifying.
@nnaturenurture
Agreed. A lot of them are highly perfumed too. The best thing there is probably La Roche Posay moisturiser. It's not that expensive and I find French skincare better than anything the UK or States make.

And the fact that you think people are 'forced' into a 15-minute city and can't come and go as they please is hilarious. In fact, it's delusional.
@TinyWriterLaura
People don't have the space. I just think it's silly to assume everyone is going to keep everything you leave. The tone suggests to me that she won't keep banging on about it and the DIL has just finally had enough.

We have an old chap visit us from next door. He likes to come in and drink from our cat's fountain and then leave again. Couldn't get rid of him in the summer! They eventually asked what fountain we have, they bought the same, he still came over 😆
@josierones
Car dealership yesterday had x1 huuuge toilet. You could have a wheelchair party in there. But nowhere to put your handbag down. No hook for coat. No spare loo rolls. No bin. They acknowledged in convo that women finalise car buying decisions. But had a shit loo 🤦🏼♀️
@anon_opin
But the ability to see these beautiful places in UK is massively let down by public transport and the dire motorway system. There's just too many (badly driven) cars and too many poorly managed roadworks. Plus many European towns are pedestrianised, whereas the...1/2

I miss the time when parents would yank their crotch goblins out of adults' way by their arm. Now they just silently watch the carnage develop. Just come off a flight where a Mum kept verbally telling her little shit to stop kicking my chair. Not actually stop her though.
@she_obey
The stories are horrifying because those who say "I only got 4 weeks..." are likely to mean that they said "no" and it happened anyway. Meaning they are married to rapists they continue to have more children with. One comment here said they never got 6wks with multiple births.
@ProfChalmers
They all assume that wages have risen alongside. My parents were shocked that I've only ever had decent raises from moving jobs. They literally said "but everyone gets a % each yr to match inflation". DO THEY SANDRA!? (Sandra hasn't worked for 30+yrs fyi)

But you can't expect everyone's brain to work the same. Would I like better financial understanding? yes? Would drilling more maths into me until 18 have made any difference? Absolutely not. I am not over exaggerating when I say I'm incredibly numerically challenged.

My Mum 'hears' what people tell her then makes up a completely different version. I've since learnt that she can't be trusted to truthfully relay anything if she wasn't actually there.
