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

People who use mental health issues as an attempt to avoid taking responsibility for their poor behaviour.

I was coming to say something similar, can't understand all the anxiety about losing the filling, I have some ancient Pyrex casseroles with glass lids, the lids are great for anything like kievs and the bonus is that I can add more garlic butter. I put them in the airfyer too.

In that situation you can ask to sit there, I've never had anyone refuse so far.

I was telling acquaintances to 'say it, don't spray' it long before Friends, I'm pleased I was able to help Phoebe out!! Embarrassing one's children and grandchildren is always an added bonus!

Utterly unfair.
DP says “ you are doing so well”
Everyone says it. It writhes me. I know they mean well and I feel a bitch thinking these thoughts. But can’t help it.

They get to live their life normally. I get to be poked and prodded for blood, live with one real breast, live with dormant MBC, live with an aggressive other cancer, shit myself every scan results day, deal with neutropenia, deal with oral thrush, deal with being on long term sick, deal with no hair.

One more time ( shouting loudly ) 😆
ITS BLOODY SHIT. I appreciate your sentiment, I really do. But it’s bloody awful!!!!!

Ooooooh, I get sick of this word too. Especially when its shortened! To the first 4 letters.

I'm very happy with my skinny wrists! 😂 Sadly, it means most of my bracelets no longer sit where they should, minor, but I had one made from my horse's tail and now it virtually fits my elbow!

I hate how judgy that post to you, I am in a similar situation.

People who bring their "whole selves to work". Our intranet had an article for our internal equality week in May with a bloke talking about his fluid sex life (multiple partners) and how he celebrated it and was glad to share to raise awareness at work.

Ewww. No thanks, I don't care how many people you shag Euan can you just give me your data reports on time please?! Boak.

People who put their feet in seats whilst on public transport. And others who place bags next to themselves to prevent others sitting.

That's a true friend though. Who cares enough to give you a shake. My best friend did that to me as well and she was right to. It is hard to listen to but ultimately our friends know us well.

People who unnecessarily and repeatedly call you on Teams without checking if you’re busy to ask trivial questions which could be dealt with using an email or a message.

I have a colleague who does this four or five times a day, usually when my “do not disturb” status is on and always when I am on another call or on a deadline. When I answer (which I do about half the time), he will say: “Sorry to call.” If you’re really sorry don’t do it all the sodding time.

Its always trivial and non essential questions or just wanting to shoot the breeze.

So he didn't copy your car or your house?

You’re best off steering clear of the Welsh then!

Cyclists. Yes I know very healthy etc but on country lanes I can’t pass so I’m stuck driving at 5mph. The fact I’m in my car suggests I planned to go faster than that.

Also, people on here who criticise an op clearly in distress because she spelled something wrong or changes story to he instead of she half way through when the sex didn’t matter for the story one bit so they can’t possibly understand what her post is about when most normal people get what she means.

My MIL is a good cook, she makes lovely home cooked food. My kids go to her once a week after school and without fail she’ll give them processed crap, chicken nuggets and smiley potato faces. Irrationally pisses me off but obviously I can’t say anything, it feels good to write it down here!

My BIL’s partner who likes to copy us.

if we are happy. He has to be happier.

if my husband has a good work life balance - the BIL’s partner says it sounds boring.

we drive a small polo, he said he couldn’t be seen dead in it.

we buy a 3 bedroom new build, he buys a 5 bed in the middle of nowhere and is pissed that no one comes to visit him.

Oooh yes that resonates with me too. The worst is when you do all the organising and someone suggests something else would have been better, or says "why don't we do this instead" at the time you are about to 'do it' 😡

Maybe it's age-related? Or regional differences? I've always said 'varnish', and 'polish' sounds a bit pretentious to me. But I never wear either.

People who live through their children and behave as if their children are the first to do anything.

My friend who is kind and generous but has to utter EVERY thought she has aloud. I really noticed it when we went away for the weekend together. Just constant weighing up of minor decisions like what to eat at Burger King, it was exhausting. Her DM is the same and when they are in the same room they do this but over each other so it's a cacophony.

Another friend has a "non-binary" partner and is fully on the pronoun bandwagon. This partner is a big hairy bloke wearing eyeshadow and wearing a (too tight) pink T-shirt. I don't think his sex is in any question to anyone with eyes.

DM never walks anywhere, has always taken the car even for the 5 minute trip to the shops. Now she is getting less and less mobile and has difficulty walking any distance, she rarely leaves the house. DF has tried for years to get her to do more but she won't, and her world has shrunk so much. She just won't help herself though, and I dread the day when DF is no longer around because I see her becoming very dependent. She's already very negative and prone to catastrophising and she already texts 20 times a day about nonsense.

I’ve got a few more.

People on this website who respond to posts berating the OP for even posting in the first place as they don’t deem it worthy of discussion. They seem to not understand this is a chat forum and people can chat about whatever the fuck they want. You’re not more superior because you don’t have an opinion.
Same applies for people not being poor enough, like it’s a race to the bottom.

I also hate the people that post in AIBU about something beyond stupid their partner has done, like “DH went for a kebab whilst I was mid c-section and then dripped bbq sauce on our newborns head. AIBU to be a bit annoyed by this”. Ffs, just start a post to moan about your POS boyfriend and let rip. No need to fanny around phrasing it as a poor lost soul wanting reassurance that babies actually thrive with BBQ sauce instead of milk. You know it’s not unreasonable, you just want to moan and that’s fine!

Meh, to me polish will always be the correct word.

People who speak really quietly and won’t speak more loudly even when asked to by people who can’t hear them. Seems so passive aggressive.

Varnish is correct though… I think polish is an Americanism. But it’s literally varnish for nails. Both terms are fine.

(hahaha turns out people incorrectly correcting people annoys me- sorry theblackcat)
