I'll start.

AIBU to be pissed off with my recluse sister?

My sister is an introvert to the point where she won't even speak to me anymore. We live together but I literally don't see her from one day to the next and TBH I'd like a bit of company. Also it's bloody cold in our house, especially walking past DSis room, anyone got any recommendations for portable heaters? Preferably from John Lewis.

I've been wrongly imprisoned, I know everyone says that but it's true in my case. I used to be a lawyer and I love classical music, I enjoy sharing the music with those who have had less advantages than me. The prison is very corrupt and I'm trying to use the staff's greed against them but learning all about their finances in order to either blackmail them or siphon off their ill gotten gains. I'm in charge of the library here and it has been a bit struggle to get adequate funding to stock it well.

My best friend is a murderer, he's one of the few prisoners who does admit that he is guilty.

Captain - Peter Pan?

CaptainCabinets · 10/10/2018 16:02

Nope Grin I get my head shut in the fridge at one point.

I have a terrible and boring job in a paper company, so does my best friend. We live for the weekend and the minute the whistle goes we shoot off in the car getting ready along the way. There is a naval training facility nearby and loads of dashing young men in uniform. I'm happy to just have fun with them but it is a bit crap that just as I get to know one they ship out. Still I wouldn't want to cramp their style and trample on their dreams.

My best friend on the other hand is very determined to get out of her dead end job and this crappy town. I think she's up to no good and will try to trap one of these delightful young men. What a slut!

thigh - Shawshank?

CaptainCabinets · 10/10/2018 16:05

Second one is An Officer and a Gentleman?

WingMirrorSpider · 10/10/2018 16:06

Sorry to those guessing mine, I was doing the school run.

Further clue: I first hatched my plan at a BBQ down south.

thighofrelief · 10/10/2018 16:07

Not Drop Dead Fred?

thighofrelief · 10/10/2018 16:07

Captain - yes to shank and officer

CaptainCabinets · 10/10/2018 16:08

It is indeed Drop Dead Fred! Grin

Captain oh for goodness sake - what's wrong with me, I love that movie!

thighofrelief · 10/10/2018 16:13

I have to go and do some crap now, I'll come back and play later. Leave me some to work on Grin

I've been away with the army for a few years... I had a bit of a barney with my dad before I left, bit childish really, I should have realised he's entitled to a private life, he was lonely after my mother died. I got in trouble with the enemy abroad, barely made it back. Also, picked up a friend while I was there. He's strange, but kind of cool.

Anyway, got home & my dad had been murdered. One of his old friends was injured as well, so I promised I'd look after him, & swore I'd find out who had done it. While I was investigating, I bumped into one of my childhood friends - she got totally hot! But I couldn't really concentrate on that now... I was slightly in trouble with the law, needed to lay low for a bit. Made a load of new friends (this country's gone to the dogs while I've been away, loads of people in the same boat as me). Also, one of them turns out to be my half brother. We didn't get on at first.

Managed to clear my name, find the killer, & marry my love.

Sat here feeling very awkward. Visiting from the US, we found a quintessential English pub- way out in the country, lurid pub sign, etc. Absolutely packed with locals, roaring fire. We walk in, suddenly silent. Nobody talking, ignoring us completely. We tried starting conversations, talking about the decor, the history of the pub sign, no response. What do we do? Drink up and leave quickly, or play it cool and drink slowly to show these yokels they can’t get to us? Advice please.

elephantseverywhere · 10/10/2018 16:26

Great thread idea :)

So I've been working for this rich widower as a live in nanny to his 7 DCs. He's an ex military man so very strict with them, but he also has a soft side, he encourages them in their creative hobbies. We had some disagreements but I recently realised I was starting to fall for him.

But then he came back from a business trip with a snooty fiancé in tow! I couldn't bear it so quit my job. Ive come home but I've never really fitted in with my very conservative community and I miss the DCs. WIBU to try to get my old job back despite the dodgy political climate right now, and even though I still have feelings for my boss?!?

I am a spoilt entitled brat but everyone loves me , apart from my sister and the high school principal.
I have a very morose best friend .

tobee · 10/10/2018 16:39

This is a great thread. A lot of film plots are absolutely batshit when you read them like this. Grin

RomanyRoots · 10/10/2018 16:40

The sound of music

I own a business that i inherited from my mother..... its a vocation to me and i love being the heart of the community.
Recently a new business has opened just around the corner from us and it is in direct competition with us but it is an impersonal chain store whereas as we give personal service.
As a result my business has gone under after so nany years and shut down meaning people have lost their jobs.
During all of this i have been emailing with someone online who seems charming and understanding about what i am going through.
Problem is my online 'friend' is the owner of the business around the corner (as i have just found out)..... aibu to date him anyway?

Captain Oliver?

MyfanwyMontez Ferris Buellers Day Off?

Struggling with Awd’s upthread. Any more clues?

PrivateParkin · 10/10/2018 16:44

WIBU to pack in my job? I work in an office for the world's grumpiest boss. The place is infested with rats, there's no heating and we were even expected to work on Christmas Day Shock

We did manage to change his mind on that, even though we won't get paid for it! He's such a CF.

I just can't take it any more, but it's so risky to leave, I'm the main breadwinner for my family and my youngest DS is ill. Also not sure I'll be able to find another job (I am a frog, after all).
