Who would you say is the main character?

I know it's the whole family really, but who would say is the one main character if you had to pick. I would say Adam personally, I don't know why it just seems that way to me.

Would you consider it rude for someone to poke their head through the window and loudly say hello if you don’t answer the door?

As per the title. Our upstairs neighbour is quite annoying and has a habit of expecting us to let people in for them (2 flats with a communal main entrance door).

She had a workman round this morning and let them in, then she went out as he went on lunch. She wasn’t back when he came back and so he knocked but we didn’t answer (the landlord usually gives the code to a keybox to his workmen so this was half out of the principal of not letting someone in for the neighbour, and I knew that worst case the workman would be able to still get access). I then get a text from neighbour asking us to let him in as she’s gone out, which I haven’t replied to.

Now after knocking and getting no answer, the workman poked his head through our bedroom window (we’re ground floor) and said hello, but we ignored it and were in different rooms anyway. He then came round to the living room right round the side and poked his head in to loudly say hello and I couldn’t ignore it as it was right next to me.

I then let him in. I’m conflicted because on one hand I feel like a dick for having to make the workman wait due to a principle with the neighbour, but on the other hand I feel like it was quite rude to knock on and call for us through the windows- in my opinion it doesn’t matter if you’re in or not, you can choose to not answer your door and that should be it.

Am I just being a twat about this?

just watched s4 ep2 the carpet cleaner

at the end of the episode martin says to jackie "lets go to paris" and how i wish if paul ritter was still alive they made a special about a family trip abroad i would be so interested in seeing how the show works outside of the house anyone else think this could of worked? im just imaging martin talking about a bunch of facts of the eurostar and paris in general, eating at a fancy french resturant, and maybe jim appearing somehow as hes always up to something new and he would constantly be saying bonjour

Bought spam that's meant to expire in 2028 and it came out brown

I work at a McDonald's connected to a gas station. We close at midnight on Friday and Saturday but the station's a 24-hr place. I went over to get something to bring home to eat and bought what's pictured: a can of spam, microwave velveeta and shells, and a bag of fritos. Color me impressed when I opened the can to fry it up and almost the whole thing was brown. FML

Leftovers it is I guess.

Edit for context and/or clarification: no, it's not flavored spam. No, the smell isn't horrible, but it definitely doesn't smell normal. Yes, a little brown on the edges would be okay but almost the entire loaf is brown. Also, wild that y'all are saying you'd eat it. You do what you want but I'd rather not risk it.

Why Jim is like Jim. (head cannon)

I’ve watched the show more times than I can count and i’m currently rewatching it again. I’m on season 5 episode 2 “The tin of meat”. Towards the end Jim reveals that he also sometimes eats 20 year old meat and also 30 year old meat. Martin goes to hospital pretty much right after eating it. What if Jim is just never got medical help and his brain just went “20 year old meat? fuck it let’s become crazy”. I don’t really know but I feel like he wasn’t born like this but who really gives a fuck ITS JIM
