Omg she really is disgusting to imply she struggles to do food shops and run baths. I feel sick.
Why can't it be, yes they paid and I'm grateful for that. Why is it always with the loaded, its only buttons and I might get a bath out of it.
The light in her eyes is very off-and-on-ableShe really looks like an Ardman figure here. "It's the wrong traazers Cooper".
I don’t think it is about class here. It’s something else.I’ve been busy so on a grunk, please excuse the lateness, but I’ve two observations from the last couple of threads.
1) Jack’s tattoos. I’m not going to critique the quality of them, as the owner as a few crap tattoos myself it’d be glass houses, but my thoughts are about the placement. Most people who have a few tattoos have them spread out, arms yes, but also legs, back, shoulders and so on. Jack’s are just on her arms and hands, they’re clearly perforative look at me, I’m such an edge lord tattoos. No one who actually cared about the artistic look of the tattoos would cram so many different styles together in such a small area.
2) Cleanliness and class. My experience is that working class and lower middle class people (I’d categorise myself as the latter) are very hot on being clean, well turned out and dress up for events. I had this ingrained into me as a child, although I didn’t realise how deep it went until I had my own child. Most of the friends I made when my daughter was small were a bit posher than me, when we met up I often noticed that their children were wearing their breakfast and had wild hair. I’m not making a judgment here but I simply could not go out unless my daughter was wearing clean clothes and had neatly brushed hair, I could almost hear my grandmother saying “what will people think if you let her go out looking like that?” Looking unkempt or not making an effort at an event is not a sign of poverty, it’s either teenage (not thirty something) behaviour or the privilege of people who don’t fear being looked down on.
2 baths and 2 food shops . £20 each. And even with energy increase let's say £2 a bath.
Doesn’t she have three therapists on speed dial? That’s pretty impressive when most of us can’t even get through to our GPs surgery on the phone. Also speed dial? In the era when most people have got rid of their land lines isn’t everyone “on speed dial”?Got your therapy on the NHS did you?
Who paid for the months of therapy last year?
Did she fuck go the NHS route. Especially not in the last couple of years with the pandemic.Doesn’t she have three therapists on speed dial?

People who hoard often have the council refuse to take their bins for weeks on end because of “contamination”.My God she’s disgusting.
And I know we jest but she’s not a fucking hoarder. This is so offensive to people who really have this disorder, and their long suffering families (85% of hoarders do not understand/believe that they’re hoarders). Jack’s house has too much stuff but it’s functional, and sufficiently clean and organised. She has a compulsive spending problem.
Fairly sure the NHS didn't pay for her dayhab or the months in the aparthotel (incidentally dayhab is meant to be the cheaper option for people who can't afford residential, she'd probably have been better off going residential rather than paying for the dayhab and then separately paying for the aparthotel). But hey, this wouldn't be Jack if she could just EVEN ONCE acknowledge her huge privileges.Did she fuck go the NHS route. Especially not in the last couple of years with the pandemic.
People who hoard also don't tend rent skips on the regular.People who hoard often have the council refuse to take their bins for weeks on end because of “contamination”.
People who hoard often have the housing association/or their own contractors refuse to work mid-job so they are left without a kitchen or bathroom or dangerous electrics.
People who hoard have no idea how to get themselves out of their situation even though they desperately want to and so their lives close in and they probably won’t tweet about their collection of spoons or sideboards or recipe books.
She had a 'crisis team' at one point, too. I'm not saying she hasn't had her six sessions counselling at one point. However this is just her usual I am so delicate and important everyone softly scooped me up and gently carried me to a therapist.Doesn’t she have three therapists on speed dial?

Completely agree. It's disrespectful and plain arrogant. Also she dresses herself up to take selfies at home, make up on and hair or wig curled, but doesn't think she has to make an effort at an awards night? And she's proud of it?I don’t think it is about class here. It’s something else.
The students around me all dress really scruffily regardless of class (the ones who drive ridiculously expensive cars or the ones who come into the shop and chat about their worries about the university raising college rents again). They don’t dress up to go out or to meet the VC and others at important meetings. We try to rationalise it but we haven’t been able to. I saw a TikTok of recently someone (who is a student here but has a v large anti-diet following) laughing about looking homeless.
If you have been brought up to respect a dress code and yourself (MH issues notwithstanding), then you would wear clean clothes that are in keeping with the situation or environment that you are in, regardless of what class you are. The students here don’t. Jack doesn’t. It’s like it is being rebellious to not look clean or wear what is appropriate.
I don’t mean to be antagonistic. I just can’t understand it.
Hence the word salad.Guardian pays around 23p a word.
