I actually fell over a pothole some years ago and smashed my knee in (disclaimer, no I'm NOT the lady in the paper! ). I was crossing the road with the kids on the school run and as I stepped out into the road, your instinct is to put your hands out to break the fall but I was holding the DCs hand so the knee took the weight of my fall. I didn't see the pothole and went flying - I remember trying my hardest not to swear in front of the DCs as it hurt like hell for ages. Still having to have physio on it now etc but I've never been bandaged up like that lady in the photo and my injury sounds very similar re the ligament damage. Also didn't seek compo - just some good painkillers! And those are some brilliant daily mail sad faces!

I like it and I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned but I can't stop reading it when she goes on a massive rant and someone responds

You tell em

I nearly wet myself

Thank you for bringing this into my life.

I'm PMSL at the 'synonym/pseudonym/two ways to spell it' comment.

I damaged my ligaments and muscles badly in my leg last year. I didn't get a bandage! Who do I complain too?

It's hilarious. Like something out of the daily mash.

AcrossthePond, yes, 'synonym' instead of 'pseudonym' and I think 'sudonym' further down as well!

Just saw the 'two ways to spell it' comment. That was just added today. Brilliant

This is hilarious. The school really has enough on its plate - they got flooded out a few weeks ago and had to move everything to a new site, and co-ordinate moving children and their teachers to different schools so they wouldn't miss out. Did she honestly injure EVERY ligament in her leg? She shouldn't have been in the car park hence the school is not at fault. 'Collectors' had been asked not to go into the car park. It's shameful that she's trying to take advantage at a time where the school is really struggling.

GaryGilmoresEyes did you have the same physio I had? I just got some funky tape criss crossed across my kneecap to hold it in place for a week once. I want a bandage too!

"Two ways of spelling it"

goes to change pants

Classics!!!

Moment from the FB page

I wouldn't want to remove the six miles of bandages that she has wrapped around her leg. It might invoke the mummy's curse.

Moment = comment

I miss living in Watford.

Me too 😂😂😂

And can't you just hear the superior tone of 'voice' as she typed that response.

How many ways are there to spell 'illiterate'. And is 'ignorant' a synonym for it?

Still PSML

Thanks Nigella 👍

That is just superb!!!

I have now liked the Angry people page and will spend the rest of the evening reading it.

I wonder if bandage woman has ever been on Jezza. Bet she has!

I see a claim for compensation coming and an application for sickness benefits but I'm just a sceptical bi#ch!

A few years ago, I fell out of a door (stone cold sober embarrasingly) and did the ligaments in my leg. I was given a plastic boot not a bandage. If she was told to.stay out then why didn't she? No headteacher would laugh in her face. Explains it's her fault for not reading the signs but not laugh . Smacks of components scam. Made my day reading it tho 😂😂😂

Smacks of compensation claim even 😂😂😂

Thanks Nigella!

And thanks OP for the giggles. This has made my morning

Doggity This is exactly why I don't miss teaching living in Watford!

Excellent entertainment from afar though.

This is fucking hilarious! I feel like I just watched an episode of shameless
