Why does Jack always end up sounding like my teenage diary?

That’s the age of development she seems to be stuck at. Apologies to everyone’s teenage children!It's always just below the surface

I agree with everyone else that she just looks smug in the photo - the only truth is that it’s still there, as she’s definitely still insufferably smug.
the most unfinished business of 2020 is Jack not sharing the notebook full of song lyrics that she teased. I need closure.It's always just below the surface

Yes, and I had the same reaction as you! Also, that police officer is a kindred Herr - "She'll have polio by the end of the week..."
Edit: ALSO, the ever-changing dietary requirements - can you imagine how vegan JM would suddenly become if she was ever in police custody? (I said IF, your honour) That tomato allergy she forgets about would be back with a vengeance!
I think Alan has peaked today!
She’s not had a jaccident for a while has she

I saw the Ad and chuckled thinking
one of the Frau will have clocked this and be tattling about it. Good work @SweetTransvestite 
That is one of the poses that used to be seen in every local newspaper. Woman with glum look because something isn't going her way. Similarly there's the one with a family with sad faces because something didn't go their way. Or man with angry face because something didn't go his way.
It screams provincial newspaper photograph. The photographers must do some sort of course in clichéd poses.
ETA, I wonder what these photographers are doing now local papers have all but disappeared.
Been on a grunk due to work today but goodness gracious me!

Jaccident!!!!
honestly, I don't know if it's good or bad that he's never enquired after it!
probs he's just like, that's my girl, she's always loved lists!
Ricky Gervais's character in Afterlife is a local news journalist and it's always spot on
What’s her face saying? Seriously I see smug... posing...a touch of the Tyra Bank’s “Sm-eyeizing” (smiling with your eyes for those unacquainted with America’s next Top Model)
My favourites are the sad face Pointing at something, a 'crater' on the road, or a dog turd. Or maybe an erroneous For Sale sign
I am screaming with laughter and can't stop...the picture with a whole family looking sad/grim "we waited in front of ASDA the whole day only to find out it was closed"...woman bought lightbulb and finds a mouse in the box.. there is also the pointing to something picture: "this is where the alien landed/my car stood before it got stolen"...OMG I must now immediately search for one of those pictures!!
Edit:
@FrumpyCat ,haha, you also appreciate a good pointing one!
My favourite is ‘teenager sent home for completely inappropriate hair cut that you allowed them to get despite knowing full well it was against the rules’.
There is a FB group called 'Angry People in Local Newspapers'. Full of disgruntled people pointing at hedges or pavements.
Jack would fit in wonderfully tbh.
