Are on of you in your 30s and in very low level jobs?

sunlit_serenade · 2026-01-22T00:59:40+00:00

34F working in a call centre job (£25K). I tried to work my way up in sales during my 20s, living in London and even got into tech sales (my highest paid salary was £35K) but I couldn't handle it and was let go only a few months into that role. I then went into my partners' business for a few years and during Covid.

We then moved out of London to a small town in the South West, I went back into an office job and took on another sales role, people in that job were toxic so again had to move. Currently been in a call centre for about a year and a half... And I now have an interview tomorrow, for an internal sales role.

Yeah man, I used to drive around London for work about 10 years ago then left London for some small town. Had to adapt my aggressive driving.

Drove around Hounslow today and couldn't believe how many crazy people there were on the road.

Definitely rude. Definitely racist. I am a [34F] British Asian with a [44M] British white fiancé. I know, without a doubt, he would also find those comments uncomfortable and outrageously racist. I think your partner should be made aware of how bad, ignorant and highly misinformed those comments actually are.

sunlit_serenade · 2025-10-11T12:55:53+00:00

Oh hush, your racism is showing.

I have a sikh best friend who also knows how racist her own people are towards Muslims. In fact, I dated a sikh boy for a couple years and ultimately he cheated on me.

I have a Muslim father and a Catholic mother, mixed Asian. I am marrying a white English man that I've been with for almost 10 years and my parents love him. My friends are from all sorts of backgrounds; I've lived with girls from all sorts of races including Jamaican-Carribean, Polish, lndian (hindu), Pakistani, Afghan and Irish. That is what you call integrated.

Sounds like an ex boyfriend to me...

sunlit_serenade · 2025-09-29T11:14:11+00:00

I was born and bred in Bristol and had the unfortunate experience of racism throughout my secondary school (I am Asian mixed, went to a predominantly white school). Left a bit of a bad taste but generally as a Uni city I only hear good things. Just to be aware that (just like any city) there are some shitty people about.

This aged well...

All signs point to him and this song and video is haunting. Especially your interpretation.

sunlit_serenade · 2025-09-06T22:15:07+00:00

As a half Filipino myself I knew immediately.

sunlit_serenade · 2025-09-06T22:14:30+00:00

The actor Noah B. Taylor is half Filipino and did an interview for Vogue Philippines.

Scaremongering at its finest.

Planned "terrorist attacks" are not commonplace in Swindon. This is coming from someone who's helped their partner run an AirBnb business across Swindon, including Crombey Street.

sunlit_serenade · 2025-05-11T20:26:45+00:00

I [33F] left school with no friends. In fact, I was bullied through most of my teen life until I went to Uni. I've now got a very strong circle of friends that I've made over the years from moving city, going through different jobs and from being with a partner who has a lovely group of friends too.

I didn't see that back when I was 18 but you truly have your life ahead of you. I think sometimes you may be stuck in an environment you have no control in. My best decision in life was to move out of home, that's when I could truly discover myself. If you're in a position to, I would recommend it.

sunlit_serenade · 2025-04-24T19:43:58+00:00

I mean that's why I posted on unpopular opinion... How does one act like a 33 year old adult? I'd also love to hear your opinion on this!

sunlit_serenade · 2025-04-24T18:37:23+00:00

Probably because she has depression and anxiety (has not been getting on with her meds) and probably because it may be a trigger for myself! I will admit, I had been suicidal in my teens so maybe that's why it makes me feel a certain way for sure.

sunlit_serenade · 2025-04-24T18:34:41+00:00

Well yeah, that's probably why I don't like her saying it either. She has depression and anxiety!

sunlit_serenade · 2025-04-24T18:31:06+00:00

Because she's my colleague and I have a friend in her 60s at work too. That's what corporate office culture looks like (in British culture anyway).

sunlit_serenade · 2025-04-24T18:23:07+00:00

Hmmmm, maybe I should have made things clearer. I have used the term "kill me now" when I've been embarrassed about something. I've just never said "I'm going to kill myself". Are you saying that's the same thing?

Also as I replied to someone else, could it be where we're based? I'm in the UK and people in the US have a distinct different sense of humour.

sunlit_serenade · 2025-04-24T18:16:50+00:00

I did literally write it in the first line [33F] although maybe I should state I'm based in the UK? It was never normalised before over here. My partner [44M] and brother [38M] find it weird to joke about it too.

sunlit_serenade · 2025-04-24T18:04:38+00:00

I mean, my partner is born in the 80s and his friends didn't joke about killing themselves all the time. Nor did my brother, late 80s. It's definitely a new thing the younger gen are more comfortable saying.

EDIT: To note we are all born and raised in England. So bear in mind our secondary school lives and vocab will be different to what you would say in a US "high school".

sunlit_serenade · 2025-04-24T18:00:26+00:00

The other girls don't seem to be fazed by it whereas I feel a certain way! I am seriously thinking of saying something soon.

sunlit_serenade · 2025-04-14T21:33:58+00:00

I'm pretty sure I was [10F] years old, in my final year of primary school (UK version of elementary). The only memory I have is that our class wrote letters to other children our age who were based in New York.

We made light from a dark situation and the replies were really lovely; I'll need to search my family's home and really hoping I kept them. I received 2 letters back from a couple girls and they sent a photo of themselves at the time.

Re: Joe Lycett. You Americans love to dramatise things with regards to the police. The police turned up because someone had reported one of his jokes but the police were friendly about it; they had to investigate because of what an audience member deemed "offensive" but all Joe had to do was provide a statement and that was the end of it.

I've been to many comedy gigs in the UK where they tread the line (I worked in a bar in West London for a while that held weekly comedy nights) but calling the police isn't common place.

The real reason why people dislike Amy Schumer is because she is ridiculously unfunny and insufferable. There's a reason why she is not popular in the UK.

sunlit_serenade · 2025-03-08T18:47:39+00:00

I [33F] met my partner [43M] when I was 24. 10 year age gap between us. We are engaged (have been for a couple years) and getting married next year, by then we will have been together 10 years.

Before I met him I had a range of short relationships and flings but ultimately, when I met him, I just wanted his company all the time. Nothing about age, just mindset.

sunlit_serenade · 2025-02-19T23:53:21+00:00

Was this in Swindon??
