what parts of your job are shit?
Alt Q: A b3tan has deleted me off facebook, the evidence building up that I am, in fact, an unlikeable cuntface is beginning to sink in. Have you ever cut anyone out of your life? if so why and how?

I had to cut my ex out because she is bonkers. One of my so-called friends was saying "Could you ever be friends again? I mean you got on so well..." erm, we shared a sense of humour and were very close, but it was all rather abusive. Were we getting on well the most when she was shoving my mum in the street or when she was hacking at her arms and flicking blood at me? I just can't decide...

I want stuff that can go in the dishwasher. Thing is right, you use cutlery every day, which will be a regular reminder of the generosity of the gift giver, as well as giving an appreciation of quality craftmanship and design. and I'm buggered if I can think of anything else that they will be happy to buy. It's one of the few things that is near unbreakable that will keep for many many years.

When getting crockery or cutlery sets as wedding gifts, make sure you get an even number of place settings, never buy a dinner service suitable for 7 for example (not that they sell them, anyway).
That way, when you split up, you can easily split the set down the middle.
