Thought I would create a thread for all the everyday irritations that are too petty to share but get your blood up. Whether your oestrogen and agreeableness has deserted you or you are just generally feeling a bit pissed off with things- I feel it’s always better to get it off your chest. And in that spirit-I will begin…

I have a lovely relationship with Vinted (I buy too much shit on here) but it really gets on my nerves when people:

  1. post photos of shoes with foot cheese evident all over the soles (ick).
  2. soneone posts something with a stain saying ‘it will come out in the wash’. So wash it you dirty gopper.

Also ‘DH’ stop leaving your dribbling toothbrush and bog blocking shites in the loo for me to tackle. Fucking beast.

That is all today.

Possibly…..

That I'm having test no 6 next week for abdo issues that have been going on for 5 months.
I'm tired of tests and being poked and prodded at. I'm so done. I want a diagnosis.

Oh and a lighthearted one my darling sweet son keeps giving all of our bottled water to the fucking cat who will only drink out of drains apparently

When you spend months flirting with and talking to a guy at work and him reciprocating and talking outside of work too only for him to announce online today that he has a new girlfriend, who works with us 😃

When, on the same day, your psycho ex decides to turn up at your house and tries to physically attack you 😃

When you apply for 16 new jobs and get 7 rejections in a day 😃

@Bolloxtoitall
disclaimer onhavent read the whole thread so i may be off course.
but what pissed me off today is that we re walking our dog on the beach, this boy 11-14 yes old is walking his dog and clearly bored. Strike a concersation with my husband but im i m in no mood for entertaining a child that isnt mine given mine were either at home or at hockey. So i walk quickly further up from them - my husband beinf nicer than me at that moment strike a convo with him qnd answer his questions. Eventually i said “thanos have a good day”. I know i was bordeline rude but i coundlnt take ir any longer, otherwise the teens would have been with us and i didnt have the bandwidth 🤣🤣

DH has just got people to pencil in dinner for his family at ours and made people move stuff around for a day after I'm away for a day (which is in the diary), just before we move our oldest to uni and then I had arrangements to see some friends (made a month or two ago) and then do a meal for my family on the Monday night. Which is a bit much and if this goes ahead I have to reschedule with my friends. I wouldn't mind so much but sometimes when he's in a mood and I have made some suggestion to do something he's had a massive go at me for 'making it a fair accompli' when all I need to do and am usually 100% willing to do is say 'OK, we'll not do that then' but he did all this without checking with me and now other people are shifting their arrangements around it.

That fly that can't fly out of the bloody window it came through

There are some great sketches about this on IG and YouTube: top tip, flies go towards the light so pull the curtains closed most of the way but leave a gap opposite the open window so it's darker in the room than outside. They should then leave voluntarily!

Two faced people.

And people who think that when a situation with a child is going well it’s because “big family effort, everyone pulling together” yet when it’s not going well “you’re the guardian and you’re not doing it well enough”.

Noisy people.

actually just people today.

My body not letting me sleep well overnight.

The workmen next door who are replacing our neighbour’s windows who sound like they’re taking the whole wall down. I finally fell asleep around 8am yesterday after struggling all night and was woken up not long after because our whole bedroom was shaking with whatever they were doing.

MinnieMountain · 04/09/2026 11:29

The cat killed a bird overnight and left a mess in the office.

It's my first non-working day since DS went back to school and it's been pissing it down all morning. I was going to read my book at the lido after my swim, then do some gardening.

TigerRag · 04/09/2026 11:25

The weather. It's trying to rain here but it's too warm for a jacket

thenightsky · 04/09/2026 10:05

We were forecast a sunny day today so I put a massive wash on and now its raining. Angry

thornbury · 04/09/2026 08:38

Humidity. It's ridiculous here, temp is going down slowly so it's 'only' 39C, feels like is 43C. But it's 70% humidity and we had a fire alarm this morning 🥵

friedaklein · 04/09/2026 07:50

My adult kids do not appreciate me enough.
There. I said it.

TigerRag · 04/09/2026 07:43

Please can I have a period that starts at a reasonable time? Not 430 like this morning

TigerRag · 02/09/2026 22:41

My upstairs neighbour

My hairdresser. Cut in chunky ear length layers I didn’t want when I had said I wanted to grow my hair. Finally grew that back out and he put in bright orange streaks amongst my ashy highlights which I had to have corrected and are still lingering.

I’ve booked with someone else now but it’s such an expensive waste of time when they don’t listen. I’ve just looked in the mirror and I’m still cross about it all.

Trying to find a bottle that doesn't leak. Made the mistake of buying a cheap one and it just leaks! But I don't want to spend a silly amount on a bloody bottle

I just use old pop bottles now. No leaks like the fancy expensive ones. My current one is a used Highland Spring sparkling water one.

BCBird · 02/09/2026 19:40

My raging sciatica pain- just piss off now

BrokenJemima · 02/09/2026 18:01

impatient drivers on what is a small quiet road at 7.15am. Someone roared up behind me and flashed me for reversing out of my drive. Had he been doing the 20 mph limit I’d have been out of my drive and gone but he was going so fast that he was upset he had to let me go. I was more than half way out of drive before he appeared a good 20 houses away I’m not explaining well but I had plenty of time to get out had he not been like a bat out of hell

AbzMoz · 02/09/2026 17:56

Everyone and everything is pissing me off today so I’m going to have a looooong bath.

  • DH is being a bit of a wet lettuce around some family matter
  • my parents are being as indecisive as usual
  • work is just meh
  • the other trustees on the charity I volunteer with have done exactly f-all since the last meeting so yet again I’m carrying the load
  • ive started to try and get fit but my trainers/walking boots have left me with blisters so I need to take a rest

I was turned down for a job last year when I failed the medical due to high BMI. I have worked really hard to reduce this and finally am at their golden threshold…. Yay for me…. The same day I did this there was a mention in the company newsletter that the medical standards have been updated….. they’ve removed the BMI criteria.

Great progress in your bmi tho!

Arthritis in base of both thumbs aching

Me too. Its starting to make using my phone or the laptop impossible. Also, unscrewing jars and bottles.

fishonabicycle · 02/09/2026 10:33

Today - mark on paintwork that has made me worried we have a leak somewhere. My bloody friend not answering my message to confirm (or otherwise) whether she can still make lunch today (before I leave to drive half hour to lunch place). Arthritis in base of both thumbs aching.
