r/Glasgow Tools

Have a FB friend who loves a good moan. Generally ridiculous, the world is against me, pity me please, but she also tries to be a bit controversial/political despite not being particularly well informed.

Yesterday was a new low. Post about how people in Glasgow are so selfish, she has C19 and no one cares, supermarket messed up her delivery, phoned to complain, manager didn’t care, she lives alone what is she supposed to do, how will she get her four types of milk?? So now she has to go to the shop so she doesn’t starve.

Haven’t spoken in years but felt I out to speak up but no, just in time someone starts making suggestions. Deliveroo, etc, to which she responds “oh no I tried that once don’t think it works”. The guy persists, give it a go and she just says “no it’s fine I’ll just go to the shop just can’t believe folk are so selfish that I have to go to the shop I mean that’s how I got it in the first place”.

I miss a bit but next time I check in it’s “fucking arsehole says he’s going to call the police!!!!!”, and someone who has been supportive clicks and says wait sorry, what virus do you have, “ummmm, coronavirus??”

Delusional as usual, not receptive to genuine advice, just wanting a moan.

Then, as a follow up, she deletes the post and unironically posts a meme with “I just had to delete my previous post there are far too many negative people out there with a problem for every solution”.

So I’m quite enjoying this (also feeling a bit guilty for not engaging) and I’ve sent it to a couple of pals. Then, later, get a text from a friend sharing a post from a “dumb customer complaints” group or whatever, some idiot complaining with too many !!!! about unsympathetic managers not helping her get her four types of milk.

Fortunately, she named and shamed the supermarket so I go on, most recent post, most relevant comment complaining about starving without milk.

It was... Rebekah Vardy.
