The wifie gave me a full five minute monologue about what provisions she'd be making for her vegan guest at Christmas. Apparently there's a vegan turkey with mushroom stuffing, she wont put bacon in all the sprouts and it's a struggle to find little veggie sausages to make pigs in blankets. All before pushing the "clearly over 25" button. I wish she'd just said "have a good one" Would the vegan guest cook a real turkey & trimmings if the situation was reversed? If not, tell them to get in the sea or eat the same as everybody else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I wish vegans would stop acting like fucking arseholes, giving their eating habits a bad name. It's decent to want to cut the amount of meat and fish from your diet, but don't fucking act like a c**t about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be something you’d hear Americans say with reference to Christmas. One what? It’s like randomly wishing someone a happy birthday. First time I really remember hearing it was Tim in series 1, episode 1 of the Office. E.t.a, might have actually be "take care".

Drove an elderly friend to the hospital for an operation, and as we passed the crematorium I asked him if he wanted to cut out the middleman. He didn't take it very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could mean Christmas around Christmas time. I'm not sure where it's come from, I've been saying it my whole life tbh. You should expand it. In a meeting and someone needs to nip out for a comfort break? "Have a good one." In a shop and a sweaty guy has in his basket a cucumber, lube and a copy of the Daily Sport? "Have a good one". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say I saw a report, I saw a headline about a report and never bothered to read it, because really, who gives a f**k. I worked in a furniture shop part time many years ago. The shop never used computers for anything at all. One day in January we were making up the signs for the January sales, using card, stencils and felt tip pens (the shop went out of business years ago). A suite that has been £899 was advertised as "Now Half Price. Was £1599, now £799". Fairly certain that would be illegal now, and might have been back then. The boss justified it by saying it was on sale, and the rest was just marketing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They see how much the reduction is and don't care how much the actual cost is, especially in comparison to similar items or in general. My dad fucking did that a lot. Anything reduced was a bargain no matter what. Fucking infuriating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
