I call it Jonathan Woss syndrome: I have it too, to a much less noticeable extent. But I speak German well because, as I learnt it, I also learnt to do the 'R' properly. I can't do it in English (my NL) without serious concentration but I found it very easy to get used to it when speaking German
I bet the waiters hate it, too. That looks like a management decision that elicits the same conversation with customers 50 times a day.
My point was that she might have had tampons 6 years ago. Or that yeah, it falls out of a friend's bag in the car. Mine end up going through the wash, which could lead to them minding their way into his boxers. The nurse gives them out at school, so a kid could have brought it home.
Calling this cheating is looking for zebras when you hear hoofbeats
Everyone has different experiences. It might be that OP is that on top of what tampons she uses and where they are. But I am inclined to think that she's either completely wrong about the affair or engaged in a writing exercise
Eh. I leave tampons everywhere and am not really loyal to any one brand/size. I haven't been skiing in over 6 years, my partner went last winter. But I went through his salopettes last night and found a tampon in the pocket. It doesn't mean that he cheated on me whilst there, it just means that he found one of my tampons, put it in his pocket for safe keeping and forgot about it.
Things get lost and turn up in the most random and unexpected places. And tampons are certainly not something that I'd have noticed as missing.
Yes, I too prefer a temporary office over being crushed to death by crumbling concrete, doesn't mean I wouldn't be petitioning my manager for a transfer to a different location.

It differs entirely for a gazillion different reasons. I hug my mum, snuggle on the sofa with her, kiss her, etc. It's not weird in the slightest. My ex (same age, sex, ethnicity, origin, etc) would never dream of doing the same with her mum. They weren't touchy-feely people in the slightest.
If you have to ask, it's a scam
Just dropping this here for your enjoyment:
Dad was probably over 25 so didn't get ID'd. And at my local grocers, the soft drinks are on the same shelf as the booze.
Wait, if there's a bareface round then she's not even the first person to wear 'no makeup', all of the contestants were doing it!
I was just thinking that I'd not heard of any school shootings for a while. I cannot describe the dark dread that I felt reading your comment and realising that it's because there hasn't been any school for six weeks
£30,000 might be a lot to you but not as much to the woman whose husband is sick and needs dialysis 3 times a week so can't work, who pays nearly 1k a month in rent and then childcare on top of that. That same woman has to spend two evenings a week caring for her dad and another evening trying to beg the nursing agency to keep his daily care free even though they've assessed it as non-essential based on a 5 minute assessment on one of his good days. The six year old needs swimming lessons and is on an 18 month waiting list for a speach therapist. They'd find a pivate one if they could afford it. There's no question of sending her on the school trip to the zoo unless the school offers a discreet grant for under-priveledged kids. Unfortunately £30,000 brings them over the elegibility so they're going to have to ask Santa for the ticket this year.
Let's say they live in Bradford.
£30,000 is £23,850 after tax. Lets round that up to £2k, factoring husband's measly UC/PIP.
£980 goes to rent. https://24housing.co.uk/3-bedroom-house-to-rent/
Nursery for a baby is £1,100 (they're now already overbudget). Grandma steps in as a part time babysitter, so they can fortunately cut this in half = £550 https://www.bitc.org.uk/news/weekly-childcare-costing-some-parents-more-than-half-of-their-take-home-pay-new-analysis-shows/
A cheap weekly food shop for a family of four is £100. The nursery doesn't accept reusable nappies and mum has to work so the baby needs formula, adding another £40 to their shop. Thid isn't a family who buy ready meals and frozen pizzas. They're functionally vegetarians because they can't afford meat. 140 =£600 per month pp
Utilities are on a pre-payment metre. Even rationing, it costs them an average of £160 a month. £200 when you include council tax. https://www.nimblefins.co.uk/average-cost-gas-electricity-bill-uk-household
They're now on -£330 a month.
American stories about their DVLA equivalent always baffle me. Taking a day off, to stand in line, to fill in 3 different forms, to photocopy your passport, only to find that you're speaking to the wrong person and need to stand in a totally different line. As a Brit, I appreciate the dedication to a queue, but it seems so incredibly inefficient
Yeah, I've yet to have a positive interaction with a clerk but I can't deny that they're knowledgeable where they need to be and capable of providing the advice that the magistrates need
In their defence, there are limits to that - each offence has legally-defined parameters for what sentence can be given depending on severity, intent and the offender's responsibility level and circumstances. It's all publicly available on the sentencing council website (it is actually easy to access, not a 64 page wall of text).
Magistrates also have a court clerk, who is legally qualified, to advise and guide them and anything they're not sure about can be passed to the crown court or the district magistrate.
I actually push people to become magistrates - we need more diversity because at the moment, it's just retired white men. I want more working/lower class people to apply, because they have lived experience of poverty and crisis.
I know, it's just not proper or respectable
It's satire
Ahh, okay. Thank god. I was worried that someone did something so evil in real life!
My office is in one of these. It's called the Mobile Temporary Unit - guess who just found out today that management have a different definition of 'temporary'...
