That's a great point! When you have two people's names like that it would normally just be alphabetical so Anna before Lily. What a grabby, pushy person to put herself first!
That's a great point! When you have two people's names like that it would normally just be alphabetical so Anna before Lily. What a grabby, pushy person to put herself first!It’s because of this order that I think the podcast was Anna’s idea. It’s “At Home with Lily and Anna”, and I don’t think Anna would ever put herself first when making up this very creative and original title. But then on the other hand, I guess Lily wouldn’t have a problem with putting herself first. So maybe it’s Lily’s idea after all.
Exactly. You wouldn’t say “me went to the shops” so you don’t say “Rich and me went to the shops”. Similarly you wouldn’t say “They gave I a gift” so you don’t say “They gave Rich and I a gift” It shouldn’t be that difficult for someone in her position.It’s not just rude it’s grammatically incorrect - much worse!
remove the other person (“rich and”) from the sentence and she’s talking gibberish - space nk sent I a gift bag, Me went to the park
I mean, I suppose you’d go with what rolls of the tongue the best for this type of thing. But in this case it doesn’t really make much of a difference to me. Maybe they didn’t like Annaand.That's a great point! When you have two people's names like that it would normally just be alphabetical so Anna before Lily.

Maybe it varies per country, but over here it would be considered a bit rude to put yourself first.Well every day's a school day - didn't realise writing your name first in a card was considered rude! Would never give it a second thought and clearly I know very rude people as just checked the Christmas cards received so far and every single one has the writer's name firstmy husband's name can go first when he decides that he'll write out the sodding things
That makes sense too, especially with family.Yes, I was taught the same rule. But if I’m sending a card to my family from us, especially when the gift included was bought by me then I write my name first because it just feels a bit weird to write my OH’s name first in a card to my grandma.
She thinks she’s so unique! Good lord!“I’m the person who usually asks to take leftovers home”
Erm... I’m sure most people do as well Lily, because it would be a waste to pay so much money to eat out and throw it away if you aren’t able to finish it
She truly thinks she is the most special person in the world for doing the most basic things. Her parents really did a great job raising such a self centered person.“I’m the person who usually asks to take leftovers home”
Erm... I’m sure most people do as well Lily, because it would be a waste to pay so much money to eat out and throw it away if you aren’t able to finish it
To be fair, a 'doggy bag' is not as common to ask for in the UK as it is in the US. I'm not surprised Lily asks for it, especially if she spent her own money.“I’m the person who usually asks to take leftovers home”

It shouldn’t be that difficult for a monolingual person who was born and raised in the native country of said (sole) languageExactly. You wouldn’t say “me went to the shops” so you don’t say “Rich and me went to the shops”. Similarly you wouldn’t say “They gave I a gift” so you don’t say “They gave Rich and I a gift” It shouldn’t be that difficult for someone in her position.
Money well spent on her private education.Exactly. You wouldn’t say “me went to the shops” so you don’t say “Rich and me went to the shops”. Similarly you wouldn’t say “They gave I a gift” so you don’t say “They gave Rich and I a gift” It shouldn’t be that difficult for someone in her position.
Very good point!!Money well spent on her private education.
Here in the Netherlands, that is still not common practice though. A lot of restaurants don’t even have proper containers here. But the portions are usually not so big that a lot is left over.“I’m the person who usually asks to take leftovers home”
Erm... I’m sure most people do as well Lily, because it would be a waste to pay so much money to eat out and throw it away if you aren’t able to finish it
Lily is that person that goes out with a bunch of people, isn't paying for dinner and then announces she is taking the leftovers before anyone else can.“I’m the person who usually asks to take leftovers home”

Had missed your comment, but same in NL.To be fair, a 'doggy bag' is not as common to ask for in the UK as it is in the US. I'm not surprised Lily asks for it, especially if she spent her own money.
