I didn’t think we were entitled. What it shows, though, is that they knew they wouldn’t be coming before the night before. Otherwise they would have had the card ready to take with them the next morning and would have put it in the post.

Yeah you can’t tell other people that their wedding is a family affair. Maybe your wedding is a family affair but my wedding is a whatever-the-fuck-I-want affair

Yes!! A couple we invited by name just wrote their kid’s name on the rsvp without even asking! They then cancelled the night before and never sent a card or anything. I literally cannot imagine being so selfish at such an important time in someone else's relationship

Uuuurgh no offence but I hate your cousin. Someone did this to us too and then cancelled (via Facebook msg) the night before. No card or anything. I still want to slap them and it was three years ago :s

Blerg. I’m so biased about this because we invited a couple to our wedding by name - without their kid’s name - and they rsvp’d from all three of them without even checking if it was ok and then cancelled literally the night before and never even sent a card, never mind a gift. My parents paid for the wedding so the…

On the flip side, when someone does something heinous and you just go ‘we’re done’ and delete, block, remove them from your life it feels really good to be the ghoster, in a cathartic way.

Um, what? There are several negative things you could say about Jezebel that would be worth discussing and he picked homophobic? Like, really?

All the stars for you!

Ooh I am similarly afflicted - thanks for the recommendation

It depends on the age of the child, I think. By the time you’re a teenager you get a good idea of how comfortable your family is but before that a lot of the signs can be contrary to what they actually mean.

Is John Oliver on the lookout for a new wife?

This. I literally could not care less if a trans woman uses the same bathroom as me. She can use whatever the fuck bathroom she wants.... Obviously. How does anyone care about this (unless they are a trans person who is being inexplicably lectured about bathroom use - I can see why they would care)

I wish I could star this a million times. This is exactly what I see in my head when I hear that word outside sensible contexts

Wut?!

Yep samesies - we only ever do it to be silly. No idea why we started... I wonder if it comes from an old war film or something?! My dad calls his actual dog swinehund when he’s being naughty! Haha don’t mess with grandma

My family call people swinehund! We have zero German blood as far as I know - we’re just strange! It's nice to hear someone else does it :p

Do you write for cosmopolitan by any chance? ‘Tie a string of pearls around his penis and suck an ice cube’

Love your name!
