You're right. She definitely said she CONSIDERED sending it.
What an arse.

What an arse.
This is the Jack I hate the most. It didn’t bleeping happen Jack.
I’m surprised she didn’t add... then everyone in the supermarket threw down their baskets and pushed their trolleys away, and walked out with me whilst cheering how I was their new leader. Then they followed me as we walked to parliament and we smashed the patriarchy and there was no child poverty anymore. The end. By Jack.

Even though it’s clearly all bollocks, going back to the supermarket at 4pm every Thursday to lord it over an ex-colleague is really sad.
It is. David Walliams and Jamie Oliver don't give a crap about her slagging them off which gives them more power. She needs to let go of everyone she thinks has wronged her and move on.
#ThatHappened Jack is like one of those very questionable memes claiming that Shakespeare failed English. My personal favourite version was the Burberry coat story...evil supermarket manager feels a bit cliche.
It's so Partridge it makes me feel as if it's all some elaborate collab, and Iannucci's going to come out and reveal the scripts he's been giving her...
For someone who isn't petty by nature, she sure likes to trot out these stories on a regular basis, doesn't she?
You're embarrassing yourself, Jack. You honestly come over as more of a nasty little tool than usual.
With all these stories she’s assuming that the people remember her, which seems like a bit of a leap? I can’t remember most of my interactions with teachers or former employers when I was a poor student trying to top up my university loan and imagine that is probably pretty normal? Then again I don’t have a chip on my shoulder about having to work to get money for the things I want, so am probably less sensitive than Jack in that regard.
And naturally, she had the last laugh.
The teachers probably remember her from the scalpel expulsion incident, which also didn't happen.
Wait a minute! Her first book came out in Feb 2014. She was living with Allegra in London in spring 2014. Did she go back to Southend every Thursday afternoon just to smirk at a supermarket manager?
First, who are all these people telling others that they will only be good for flipping burgers (as if burgers don't need flipping?)
Secondly, one sad truth of life is that we all have memories of someone saying something to us (off the cuff often, shooting for the hip) that stays with us for life. It can be a bad joke from a loved one, a friend or a teacher. It can even be an action, or a disgruntled sigh. Something that can grow out of proportion and stays with us because it made us feel so separate from them or not acknowledged, while the other will not even remember what they did*. (We can do it to another person as well of course).
My point being: it's not unique. So when someone on Twitter asks about it, they will get plenty of stories.
*Obviously I am not talking about actual abuse or bullying here!

Haha.
I don't believe a single word of this, including 'and' and 'the'.
This shows her distain for people who work in fast food outlets. What is wrong with "flipping burgers", it is a job, and is often a step to higher paid work. She clearly thinks that "flipping burgers" is beneath her, ergo those people that work "flipping burgers" are beneath her.
What a nasty person.
My favourite lie was her 'letting' Ken Loach use her blog for I Daniel Blake.
On reflection the toaster one was the most idiotic.
I struggle to believe any of these oddly specific interactions ever even happened.
I feel like there will be a grain of truth in that a teacher probably said once “if you don’t get your tit together, you won’t amount to anything” or something to that effect and over time it’s grown in her mind and been embellished over and over until it’s become this absolutely ridiculous exchange that literally would never ever happen.
Waiting in the supermarket to see your ex manager putting your book on the shelf is laughably unbelievable.
She writes these little stories with an air of superiority as if shes “better than” supermarket/fast food employees, she does it without realising but her wording is very telling of her true feelings toward them.
TBH it’s hard bleeping work doing either of those jobs and I don’t think she would hack it, she just wants to lay around telling tall tales while unsuspecting squiggles gobble it all up and feed her with LIKES and monies
She’s an absolute weapon

She’s an absolute weapon Yeah, and whenever I've run into old teachers, we usually just have a conversation between grown ups. If any memories come up, it's because I am the one reminding them, and we have a good chuckle about it (as it tends to be about what a stubborn know-it-all I was). Of course there are some really bad teachers, but JM just wants to be the Tesco variant of Julia Roberts in the clothing store from Pretty Woman.
