I grew up with Jenny, I mean we met as kids - I remember inviting her over to my house after school one day and as we sat in my kitchen having dinner I saw her side eyeing my mam's SMEG fridge. I thought nothing of it at first, but the next day in school she kept making all these sly jabs at me like 'Oh my lunch is so cold today, I bet that wouldn't be the case if I had a SMEG fridge!' and then laughing in a snide way. I didn't really understand why she was suddenly being so condescending and talking down to me but I gave her the benefit of the doubt - she was my friend after all .....Or was she just cosplaying as my friend?I see Roz has one too, Jenny has always been unable to help herself throwing jabs like that. Like most people wouldn’t mention the fridge if your fiancés best friend has one and you have no actual experience of it being shite.
The next day at school Jenny wasn't in and I got talking to a group of cool indie girls from my class. I asked their advice and they actually told me that they too used to be friends with Jenny, but it turned out that one by one she had also made snarky remarks about their SMEG fridges too!
One of the girls even said she had brought Jenny to her sister's engagement party in their house, and as soon as Jenny noticed they had a SMEG fridge in their kitchen Jenny had tapped a champagne glass with a spoon to get everyone's attention and then announced that she was happy for the couple and all but their fridge was shite. Another girl had asked Jenny to contribute to her zine, and on publication day Jenny produced an 1000 word hit piece on SMEG fridges. It utterly destroyed the vibe of the zine. They knew at that moment they could never be friends with her. They told me I was actually her only friend in the class.
I knew what I had to do. When Jenny was back in school the next day I told her I couldn't take her throwing jabs at SMEG appliances anymore and I was ending our friendship for good.
They say to this day she still has no friends.
