There's been a spate of threads recently about things JK Rowling has shamefully failed to comment on. Wouldn't it be easier to put them all in a single thread?

I'll start.

JK Rowling has shamefully failed to comment on the Manchester City fraud scandal.

Well, I’m FUCKING LIVID.

I was offered a job this morning. Has she mentioned it? Of course not. No champagne, no balloons, no offer to provide a glowing reference.

NOT EVEN a congratulatory text.

Who does she think she is?!

Congratulations!

If you see her at corporate events, you can pointedly ignore her.

Congratulations MyrtleLion!
If that JKR woman does get around to contacting you please will you give her a ticking off for not helping me tidy the Tupperware cupboard?
There are about thirty plastic boxes and forty lids...none of them pair up.
NONE.
I am beyond disappointed.

Well that’s worse than her lack of congratulations.

When I next see her, I will have a word…

La la la. Not listening

Last time I saw Tupperware posts I ended up spending too much money on new containers. Which was totally due to JKR sending me the far right money not commenting that I was wasting my money.

I've just bought ten glass (because of forever chemicals and I make a lot of chicken soup) food storage things with snappy on lids.
They're lovely and shiny, no thanks to JKR.

An alarm has been going off for the past 3 days somewhere in the vicinity of my house.

It does 3 short beeps, silence for a couple of seconds, then 3 short beeps.

Has Joanne commented on the annoyance? Offered to buy me noise cancelling headphones? Or even told whoever the house with the noise belongs to to sort it out before I go out with a baseball bat and do it myself (I'll channel the fox killer, but without the kimono. Or fox)?

What do you think. Of course she hasn't.

Have you checked your CO detectors? Ours chirppued (?sp) annoying and cost us £70 in a burglar alarm service as we mis-identified the chirrups as being made by the burglar alarm. JKR was silent, nary a chirrup out of her.

It's definitely coming from a neighbours house.

Of course their detector may be going off!

It's still going!!

Shedmistress · 14/10/2026 06:46

Our burgalar alarm kept going off about 15 mins after we left the house and after driving past it blaring off one day I called the guys out.

It was a spider building a web over the sensor each time we went out.

<helping>

DeanElderberry · 14/10/2026 07:32

I had a spider that kept setting the fire alarm off. Has herself issued a condemnation of the spider community? NO she has not.

MyThreeWords · 14/10/2026 09:08

I've been holding off on criticising JKR, because frankly I think some of the criticisms on here are a bit unreasonable, but for two mornings in a row I have had a BLUE TIT TRAPPED IN MY BATHROOM.

Nothing so far from the egregious Rowlster. It is particularly upsetting because the window has been firmly shut and so the only possible means of entry is magic - on which she is the so-called expert.

SidewaysOtter · 14/10/2026 09:23

We will pick up the slack, @MyrtleLion - congratulations! 🥳🎉🥂

They do have a tendency to go blue (and black) when trapped.

Boiledbeetle · 14/10/2026 19:00

The repeating beep is still ongoing.

I have narrowed down the house.

Has JKR commented on my excellent detective skills??

Nope!

She's stealing your story for her next book. The rogue.

I had to say this off my own bat without any support from JKR!

It stole the matches of course. Damned arsonist spiders! And what is JK DOING about it? Nothing of course. Not a word about this very serious and totally real issue.

DeanElderberry · 15/10/2026 07:58

It was inserting very fine web filaments into the place where the smoke detector detects smoke, but it was almost certainly working up to matches and kindling. Rotter. Did JKR rebuke it? Your guess.

So she posts to condemn some spiders, but not DeanElderberry's. 😡

MoistVonL · 15/10/2026 09:55

Given that she namechecked Mumsnet in The Running Grave, she's bloody lax in not congratulating each and every one of us on our achievements in job finding, weight loss, decluttering etc.

She did give Il Portico a nice plug, though, for having the best pasta in London. So she can obviously dish out praise when she can be arsed.

What an ungrateful rotter.

Oh. my. god.

In general I am pro spider (indoctrinated by Charlotte's Web) but that's just WRONG.
