For shrinking the size of Monster Munch and shrinkflation generally.

Also the existence of belly button fluff

What do you blame her for?

I now fancy any type of toblerone, but I'm in bed, can't sleep, it's raining, the shops are closed - the lack of toblerone is definitely JKR fault. Especially that I will have to go out first thing to buy toblerone!

I've got two large ones downstairs, but I'm scared if I try to go down to get one JKR will be lurking on one of the steps in the shape of a black cat waiting to help me break my leg.

I think she made it that none of the original three Potter kids were very good actors

Sunlight! Hang it in sunlight. If JKR allows the rain to stop that is.

I wondered if everybody could refrain from being helpful and useful, and sure nuff... thank you for the practical suggestion, Cake.
I'm sure JKR will make sure the sun never shines again now ever, just to thwart any solution to her 'permanent turmeric stain' evilness.😠

Turmeric.
JKR arranged it so that turmeric stains, such as the one on my best inherited white tablecloth, will never ever ever disappear. Evil beyond words.

A guy who owns a carpet cleaning business once told me that the two things they absolutely can't get out of carpets are 1. Turmeric and 2. Irn Bru.

Bet JKR's dashing into folk's living rooms and tipping a can of the orange fizz on their best carpet, cackling as she does so.

I heard she sneaks into peoples houses while they’re sleeping and puts a red sock in the washing machine.

And hides teaspoons down the sofa cushions.

MarieDeGournay · 29/08/2025 01:17

JKR is messing around with navigation by moving the Magnetic North Pole around, just because she can, and because she loves seeing all those lost ships crashing into each other and sinking to the bottom of the ocean...

Mollyollydolly · 29/08/2025 01:41

Reddit. I blame her for Reddit. And fruit flies on bananas.

I blame her for those times when you’re locked out of an account, so you click “forgot my password” and then when you try to enter a new password it says “The password cannot be your previous password” and you want to smash your keyboard up into tiny pieces

I have had some success with lavender oil on turmeric or lily pollen stains on fabric - massage a few drops on the stain then rinse with water

If you spray something alkaline (like Elbow Grease) on the stain it will turn bright red, it's basically a pH indicator.
Starting my day with a pointless observation :)

Her ability to use emotions, empathy and logic in her reasoning.

Everyone else knows it’s better when people just have a feeling and then use that feeling to attempt to control other people’s thoughts and beliefs and leave pesky logic and any form of empathy right behind them.

deadpan · 29/08/2025 07:11

It's definitely her fault that toast falls butter side down.

NoBinturongsHereMate · 29/08/2025 07:58

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/08/2025 23:05

I did try that one, @NoBinturongsHereMate but it was spicy too - Waitrose do a smoked hummus but dh won’t let me loose in there too often! That’s probably JKR’s fault too.

There's a plain smoked one in the range. Sainsbury's has that one.

NettleandBramble · 29/08/2025 08:04

In our house she always puts on the toilet roll on the holder the wrong way.
That's if she bothers to replace it at all.

Back in the days before disposables, I once got food colouring in my contact lenses¹ and had to send them to a specialist cleaning place in France. They said the only thing they couldn't get out of lenses was beetroot, but being French it's likely they'd never encountered Irn Bru.

¹ Definitely JKR'S fault.

ArabellaScott · 29/08/2025 08:11

She makes me spill food down my front all the time, especially when its a good top that ive just put on and that needs hamdwashed. There's probably a German word for it, and she wrote that too.

eeyoredebbie · 29/08/2025 08:12

The interminable wait for the next Strike book is definitely her fault 😂 three/four days to go now

Cost of living crisis

if I didn’t have to buy the next book I might have a spare £20

TheNightingalesStarling · 29/08/2025 08:16

She hasn't filled my car with fuel. Outageous.

I bet she has been using my car on her secret trips to Yorkshire as well, which is why the fuel is nearly used up. And its her who leaves sweet wrappers in there.

Sillyoclock · 29/08/2025 08:21

The magical disappearance of Batchelor’s Creamed Mushrooms. Why, Joanne, why?

DeanElderberry · 29/08/2025 08:31

ffs, stop dissing JKR, if you annoy her too much she could express her rage by delaying the release of Hallmarked Man and the wait has already been

TOO LONG.

Cosmosforbreakfast · 29/08/2025 08:35

It is entirely the great JKR's fault that I keep leaving the shops without the very thing I went to the the shops to get.

RedNine · 29/08/2025 08:36

Yeah well I caught my sleeve on the door handle, her fault. What a cow.

Yes, I could have a copy by now if she had given us regulars here an advanced signed edition, but ohhhh no, she makes us wait until Tuesday like the rest of the plebs. Talk about selfish 🙄
