No Time Turner?
5706357 Maybe in a future sketch.
A few things.
1: Pinkie acted really annoyed when she learned that Lemon Cookie was coming to work with her, and Pinkie hadn't even MET Lemon Cookie yet. That really go's against Pinkie's character, as she is very welcoming to newcomers.
2: This story gets repetitive towards the end, and becomes kind of annoying.
3: Kicking Lemon Cookie through a wall? That is not Pinkie.
5706365 Looking forward to it!

1. She wasn't annoyed, just concerned.
2. You've never seen the Lauren Cooper sketches this is based on, have you? They're EXACTLY like this.
3. Ten minutes alone in a room with Lauren Cooper does that to you.
...
I actually did enjoy this somewhat.
Any chance of future chapters where Lemon Cookie tries to get a job at SAA (mareing the stall), Carousel Boutique (working with customers), Ponyville Library (assistant librarian for Spike for when Twilight is off on an adventure), and at Fluttershy's cottage (pet adoption services)? I think that'd be funny to watch as each of the others reach Pinkie's breaking point.
Pretty good.
5706357 I got that!
5706412 It's entirely possible. As repetitive as the Lauren Cooper sketches are, somehow it still manages to be funny over and over again...when I get inspired to do one of these (or just that damn bored), I'll do one.

And then she gets hired to be Prince Blueblood's social secretary...and keeps that job because, as aggravating as she is, ponies prefer dealing with her to dealing with Blueblood! And Blueblood can't fire her because no one else will take the job and deal with him!
5706446 Eh, some people who do get the joke don't find it funny. It's really one of those things.
Here's an example of a Lauren Cooper sketch from The Catherine Tate Show:
Oh no, no NO. We MUST have more Lemon Cookie!
We must have more of her and Pinkie! They would have that crazy kind of friendship!
I do sometimes wonder what a person would have to go through to have that permanently jaded "I hate everyone, but especially YOU" outlook. Yes, people are crap. Everyone who works retail or customer service knows this. But is someone like Lemon Cookie any better?
I like it when Pinkie is forced into the straight man role
Drove her up the wall and right through it, one might say
Woah Pinkie! You are strong!
This cute little one-shot ( which I hope is only the first of many, hint, hint ) deserves this ribbon:

I'm sorry, but the humor of this skit scapes all of my knowledge... what does "bovvered" even means?
5708771 I linked one of the skits that this is based on further up in the comments. Also, there's a Wikipedia article on the character Lauren Cooper. None of this guarantees you'll still get it, but...long story short, Lauren Cooper is an obnoxious teenager played by Catherine Tate (Donna Noble of Doctor Who), with a set of catchphrases and a tendency to annoy the hell out of everyone around her.
I get the feeling these sketches are really kind of hit-or-miss.
Are you saying Lemon Cookie's dad is a wino then? She should just take the shame then!
What kind of person does it take to get on Pinkie Pie's nerves?! That was the reason why I looked at this, and I'm glad I did.
This story didn't even bovver me, mate.

She has an accent. It's 'bothered'. Similarly "innit" is "isn't it".
well, well. so Pinkie finds out what it's like to be annoyed. sucks
doesn't it? very cute. should have more stories like this.
5706465 Lauren seems to be helpful and competent in that sketch. Is she like that in all of them?
6117331 Not even remotely.
Does my face look bovvered though?
It is though.
You said you might add new skits abd it's been sinse 2015 though
