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

Tradespeople not turning up or coming to quote and then either not bothering to send it or purposely quoting too high.

1. Stop wasting my time. When I ask you to quote I always make it very clear (with pictures!) of what I want. If you don't want to do it or can't, don't say you'll quote.

1. Why outprice yourself? I dont understand! You dont want the job. Fine. Send me a text to say you are not doing it. Sending a crazy high quote just means that I think you are either a chancer or too expensive generally so I'll never ask you for a quote again.

If you're honest and say the job isnt for you, I might contact you again. Lie or be unreliable and there is not a chance you'll ever get work from me.

Retired people that stand by bus stops at 8:45am on weekdays and every time a bus turns up between then and 9:30 (when free travel starts), they ask the driver could they board. No is the answer. Seen them standing outside in freezing weather too. They are called twirlies.

Then one day, I had a hospital appt at 10:40 and got the first bus after 9:30am. The twirlies who have been there since 8:45am then had to spend the next few minutes rummaging in their bag to get their pass out.

My sister is a horrible person who lovebombs people, then belittles and humiliates them until they eventually wise up and ditch her. Our mum can't see it and wonders why sis has such 'bad luck' with friendships and relationships. I'd love to shout 'It's her! She's evil!' but obviously I can't and just mutter 'oh, that's a shame'.

Should just be taken off and crushed.

People who phone you up and say, 'Just a quick call ...' at which point I think, oh good because I've got loads to do but they're still wittering on half an hour later.

I've learned to draw a line under it by saying, 'Yes, I have to go now, I have to prepare dinner/walk the dog/perform brain surgery.'

Problem is that many employers do the 3 periods of sickness in a rolling year and get disciplinary action. They maybe had two periods of sickness in the past year. They are scared of disciplinaries, getting warnings. The employers don't care if you had 3 years with no sickness.

Or these staff only get SSP which is rubbish.

And bikes thrown on the floor right in front of shop doors.

People who sit with their car idling. Great for the environment. Great for people around it. Great for your wallet using up petrol.

Why do they do this? Genuingely why? Listening to the radio is a crap excuse. Most people can do that on their phone.

I live opposite a school. The amount of parents who sit there for 20 minutes with their car noisily humming is mind blowing.

Then in the winter when drivers decide that they cant possibly drive for a few minutes in a cold car so set it idling for 10 minutes before they leave, waking everyone up.

They are all twats. All of them I bet they park in disabled bays too even though they shouldn't.

Both deserve to be shot.

My oldest teen currently wondering around going
“I have no bum hole, I am the great cornholio”

I can’t say anything because he will
just do it more. Who but the new generation of teens onto bloody bevis and butthead.

Oh God, yes, that's infuriating.

We have the same thing at church. They walk out of the door and then stop immediately so there's a logjam of people trying to get out.

And I'd tell you!

We have women that do their daily run at 7am but stop at the corner of my house, one street goes up into the scheme of the village but if you go straight on you end up in country side, some parts of it have no proper paths anymore but every morning they used to stop there to decide which way to go very loudly. We had to have a word with them last year as I would have been in hospital and sent home under strict instructions not to get stressed. Loud noise stresses me out so my other half explained the situation do they now have their conversation at the pub on the opposite side of the road.

Vertical blinds are the work of the devil. What the fuck. Who wants their house to look like the doctor’s waiting room.

My cousin is always moaning that we never do any family get togethers, yet whenever we invite her to something she always cancels....

My work colleagues.
They are lovely but alot of them are from a culture that is very loud, effusive, touchy/grabby and just generally the complete polar opposite of my very buttoned up, reserved self! Just talking to them wears me out!

Also my lovely little dog.
Im lucky to have her at 16 yrs old so I really cant complain about the puddles in the house and lack of sleep from the constant wandering....
but holy crap, do I want to!

Unfortunately, schools have absolutely NOT learned from covid and the pressure to go in while ill carries on 😡

Upsetting to read this.
You have no idea how the child is at home, often schools get the easy version of SEN children who manage to mask all day.
Upsetting too how much ignorant shit I've read like this on here over the years from the very people working with our children.

As others have said, my DH falls asleep as his head hits the pillow. Then snores loudly and raggedly. He also mouth-breathes in the day.

My friends almost never reach out to me or arrange things, or want to do anything fun. It is always me putting in the work and I'm fed up.

My brother has always been effortlessly cool and popular and is constantly sought-after. And earns way more than me.

Vertical blinds in houses. What are they thinking?!

My mum claims she can only remember the phrase 'bottle opener' in French and calling it a 'tire-bouchon' but in a really bad accent. She is not French. I have no idea why she does this.

Also, any time she pronounces anything Spanish she does it in a ridiculous Speedy Gonzales cod-Mexican accent which I think she thinks sounds reasonable.

People who bang on about how hard they work when they do sod all, which is about 70% of people I have ever worked with. Sitting at your desk from 7am to 5pm and mostly talking bollocks, staring at your phone or surfing the Internet is not “putting in a long, hard day at work”

mumsnet acronyms such as DH when the person posting obviously hates their partner and wants to waterboard them. BH would be a better acronym.

Thanks to mumsnet I’ve also developed an irrational hatred for the phrase “food noise”.

And there are people who will avail of taking time off sick for the mildest of ailments ie sniffles /painful toe etc

Oh I hate this so much too! Grrrr.

Everyone over 40 these days seems to be complaining of their 'peri' symptoms. 🙄

Old people (women usually) in groups who try to one up each other with their holiday destinations. As if it’s something that nobody has ever done before. Seriously 🙄

You have my sympathy with the nails. I used to have the same problem with a work colleague. As for the slim eater, she’s not doing herself any favours for her future health and will probably have a lot of hidden fat inside her. That’s what I would be telling myself anyway 😂
