This makes me sad. What the hell is wrong with theater goers these days? The Spice Girls musical Forever in London’s West End is ending some eight months before planned due to poor sales and lack of interest. And did I mention it was written by the uber genius Jennifer Saunders? Quelle horreur.

“You had one job” is an expression that calls attention to perceived blunders made by workers on the job. On the web, the phrase is heavily associated with FAIL image macros. The earliest known mention of the phrase can be heard in a scene from the 2001 Ocean’s Eleven remake, in which Don Cheadle’s character Basher Tarr scolds his team for missing a step that singlehandedly leads to the failure of an otherwise well-planned vault heist. In other words, they had just that one job to do and they f*cked it up. Here are a few examples; more at the hadonejob website. (via laughingsquid)
