Things that PISS you off, but you can't really say so.

A girl I work with always milks sickness. Whatever the average time off is for a particular illness is for a normal person she will triple it.
She is currently on a phased return and shows no shame. I think it irks me so much as I work hard and am hardly off.
i cannot explain how’s angry if makes me. 😡

Ah, the relative who convened an emergency family meeting, as she was down to her last 100k of savings, whilst living in a five bedroom house.
She is mid nineties. And has pensions.

Mine is my DH. Claims he's cleaned the kitchen 'for you' .. I emptied the bin 'for you' .. I bathed the kids 'for you' .. ITS OUR HOUSE. ITS OUR CHILDREN. It's not for me!!!! Granted he does his fair share, works full time, he's a good hands on dad and partner but the 'for you' drives me absolutely insane.

My DH loving his nasty nasty parents. He’s literally save them from a burning building and prioritises them. So…

people who let people shit on them and give them time and space and energy and love when those people just abuse and shit on them. It’s exhausting.

I am a DV survivor so I know how it is, but it really really pisses me off irrationally

Saran wrap, but your point remains. :-)

People who ask questions on Facebook to things you can Google.

What time does sainburys shut, in the time they typed it they could have googled it.

People who post on Facebook again annon to ask things like what’s the best soft play. Why does that need to be annon. Crazy.

People who write cryptic Facebook posts wanting attention, but when you message them they either don't reply or say everything is fine.

People who ask questions in the group chat that have already been answered. Scroll up FFS!

One of my best friends sat me down last night and gave me a right old talking to about a recent life decision.
Unfortunately for me he’s completely right.
Bloody annoying to be called out by a man! But to his credit he did it so well and because he cares. My sticking my head in the sand now has to end so he’s created work for me with this revelation too. Annoying.

A friend texted to suggest coffee on a particular day. I agreed to the day, but I’m still waiting to find out where and what time. I know I'll be the one doing the chasing.

Yes. This really pisses me off too. Read the room ffsake!

People, who have no standards.

My sister keeps getting filler in her lips. She thinks they look great, but they look awful. What's worse though, is I can’t always understand what she's saying as she's also had botox around her lips.

My ex who whines to everyone he "cant" see his own children and "doesn't know why" and people believe him despite knowing he lies about every little thing someone even said to him oh when did you move back to >home town his children were born and raised in and where the CONTINUE to live< he says a few months ago then goes on about his kids getting tons of sympathy no-one seems to have connected the dots

HE MOVED AWAY YEARS AGO HIS CHILDREN ARE TEENAGERS NOW AND CANT BE ARSED WITH HIM BECAUSE HE MOVED AWAY AND STOPPED SEEING THEM YEARS AGO

He also hasn't actually reached out to the children at all no text no WhatsApp no xbox DM no letter ds1 just passed his GCSE exams its been advertised everywhere results day any messages off dad? "Crickets"

@Bluevelvetsofa @CoffeeCantata .Just recently I held out on one of my friend who always does this. I said “where are we going then?” And she said “ I was waiting for you to choose somewhere!” AAAgh!!!

People who claim they’re skint when in reality they have savings and £300 in their current account to last a week

@Sidebeforeself we have friends like that, so I make an executive decision, book something and then ‘oh, it’s not as good as it used to be’. So annoying.

People who claim poverty while having thousands in the bank. You’re not poor!!

People who let their noisy children ruin things for everyone else. Just deal with your child!!

Dh falling asleep in 10 second’s, fuck off.

People who can’t ever decide on something, what should we have for dinner? Oh I don’t know what do you want? To not have to pick for one fucking time!

Arseholes who buy lovely houses with lovely gardens and rip it all out. Turn wildlife filled gardens to concrete and Astroturf and build on every inch they can. Whole front gardens churned into drive ways that can hold 10 cars, you have two!! You could have left something nice and natural.

Can’t relate

That’s doubly annoying because they abdicate responsibility for the decision and might then feel free to blame and criticise if things turn out badly!

DH falls asleep literally the minute he lies down and it’s infuriating. How can he just switch off like that?

Also I have irrational ugly jealousy of people who have grandparent childcare available to them. My DC have no GPs who can look after them and I am sad about it every time I see families who have.

The meanings and usage of words change. I know that. I’ve been delighted by it all my life.
It’s what makes English such a vibrant, interesting language.

However….

Daughter: Where are my earrings? I’m so confused.

Me: No, you’re not. You’re puzzled. Or perplexed.

Daughter: What?

Me: Confusion implies too much information, insufficiently processed. Your problem is that you have too little information, and you know what information you’re short of. You’re not confused. You’re perplexed.

Daughter: Does it matter?

Me: Yes! For some reason, it really, really does.

Daughter: God - it’s not that deep.

Me: See? That one I can live with.

My chicken Kiev leaked all the buttery juice all over the foil and I'm absolutely distraught 😳.

All my friends won't stop talking about perimenopause - every teeny tiny thing that happens to anyone must be a symptom.....

I am the same age but cannot be arsed to think about it - I think most of us are too young for it to actually be an issue, it's more just that we have busy lives and have hit 40!

I just glaze over the conversation but it's getting really boring

Some of my friends don’t realise how long it takes us to get to things on the bus. Then will moan about having to drive 15 minutes.

Yes I know I could drive but I simply can’t afford a car. I get free bus travel through work and we live in a city with good transport links.
