That amongst others! It seems to happen on basically any true crime thread. the thing is I totally understand the impulse to help and especially to gather and discuss something, and even to ask sincerely if police have done XYZ, but it’s when it verges into the assumption that the police won’t have checked it that it pisses me off.I am sensing you may have been reading the nicola bulley thread? It’s a whole mess on there tbh.
Icky how they latch on to tragedies and then centre themselvesThat amongst others!

There are areas where the police need a push or pressure on things but as far as collecting evidence goes they’re pretty bloody on it. If someone genuinely thinks it hasn’t occurred to the police to check X why not contact them about it instead of posting it on a forum.
yes - sometimes feels like they’re discussing an Agatha Christie rather than a real person’s death.Icky how they latch on to tragedies and then centre themselvesThey mustn’t have a lot going on in their lives so do it to make themselves feel useful/part of something.
I’ll be honest, I don’t agree with a thread being allowed about the situation, I read a little bit but some of the comments are absolutely atrocious. I think it’s too difficult to police a thread like that. Whilst I understand a right to have an opinion and speak about things, I would hate to see a thread like that about a loved one or friend.I am sensing you may have been reading the nicola bulley thread?

I used to know a girl like this, she whined about paying off her student loans but would go out drinking at karaoke bars and insist on buying an expensive Starbucks daily even though she used to work for Starbucks and knew how to make the drink herself. She was offered an excellent academic scholarship but instead decided to go to a private university which is ranked as one of the most expensive ones in the country and chose to study art. Her loaded daddy would have paid for it too if she hadn’t broken up her history teacher’s marriage. But she gets on her soapbox on Facebook to cry foul on the academic system and capitalismyeah I wouldn't either but I do know a few people like that. One girl I worked with told me she couldn't afford to buy milk but then next day she posted pictures on instagram of her and her kid at the cinema, not just that but with a full on nacho meal deal that you need to take out a loan to afford. I think some people are just shit with money. I once had a friend told me she couldn't afford her rent, I saw literally the next day and she had booked a trip to bali with her friends. It makes no sense to me and idk how you can live like that but some people either don't care or don't understand.
it's not being dramatic. it's nice to be thought of if only one day a yr. I never got on with my parents and we didn't love each other but when my dad died a few weeks before my birthday when my mum was in hospital and I realised that that the yr before would be the last time I ever got a birthday card. from anyone that was tough - as was the yr after when they had both passed away. Last yr was my first birthday totally alone and because of the Queen dying I didn;t even get all the free stuff from companies I usually get because they weren;t sending out emails etc around that period. I think that the very idea of a birthday is gone for me forever.I’m in such a grump at the moment - my birthday is coming up and it’s all going to
I had plans to go for breakfast with a couple of friends in the morning and they’ve just cancelled so now that’s off.
My best friend can’t do anything on the day because it’s also her mother in laws birthday and she has plans with her. it’s her daughters birthday at the beginning of April and she’s suggested that we celebrate my birthday at the same time - which is a nice thought but I don’t want to be the person who makes a child’s birthday all about them.
I know I’m overreacting and being dramatic because it’s just a birthday, but I think it all boils down to not being anyone’s priority, or being important enough to anyone to make an effort for.
I’m so sorry, that’s so sadit's not being dramatic. it's nice to be thought of if only one day a yr.

You always find it’s the more well off people who act like they have nothing and will happily shout the loudest about how terrible the government and super rich are. I grew up financially privileged and went to private school. We have never had to worry about money and I’ve never complained about not being able to afford something or have something because anything I’ve needed my parents have provided me with. There were girls in my year, however, who’d act like they’d grown up with nothing.I used to know a girl like this, she whined about paying off her student loans but would go out drinking at karaoke bars and insist on buying an expensive Starbucks daily even though she used to work for Starbucks and knew how to make the drink herself.

Companies are quick to take money but take weeks to refund it, what a joke.Fucking uber eats have properly pissed me off now. Ordered through mcdelivery app on 5th Feb, an hour and a half nothing happens, although I got the confirmation email and money taken from my account. So I go on the chat thing and it says the order was placed through uber and to contact them. So I did, they tell me that mcdonalds cancelled the order and I would get a refund in a couple of days. Fast forward to last Thursday, still no refund (its only £20, but it is my £20) so I call them again, they tell me the refund has been started and to wait a full 10 days. Still no refund so I call them again today and was told that it isn't their problem now and I should go through the mcdelivery app to get my money back. I said to the guy, so you have happily taken my money, not delivered the food and now you say it isn't your problem, so you're telling me the last 2 people I spoke to lied to me about being refunded? He actually said yes!I'm sorry to say I screamed go fuck yourself down the phone and hung up. Just off the phone to my bank and they have sent me a refund application so I am bloody hoping I can get my money back. Never touching uber or mcdelivery again. An absolute ball ache. Ggrr!
You’re not alone, trust me I feel this way every day.. it’s horrible.I’m in such a grump at the moment - my birthday is coming up and it’s all going to

A colleague’s pregnant wife sat in someone’s reserved seat on the train home, when the person who had reserved the seat got on the train they (shock horror) wanted to sit in their booked seat - colleague and his wife started arguing with the guy that she was entitled to the seat because she was pregnant.Entitled pricks who think you should give up bought and paid for seats on trains and planes.
There are so many stories floating around these days of people being asked to give up or change seats for kids and it winds me up. Anytime I fly I always choose a seat I want to sit in. 9 times out of 10 these days you have to pay for it. I saw a tik tok the other day of a woman who was trying to shame passengers on a train because her son, who was bout 8, was sitting on floor. She genuinely thought one of the adults should stand to let her child sit down. I don't think the comments were what she was expecting.
