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…..

I am fucking fed up with my menopausal weight gain.Not fat enough for the jabs, but too fat to look good.

Work. Work is fecking me off. Having to work mostly. Why doesn’t £1 million just land in my bank account and just sort me out. Why do I have to write emails and have meetings with people I do no care about. Why can’t I just go to Marks every day for little snacks and read my books on the sofa, eating those snacks. Why?

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.

Today, absolutely everyone is pissing me off.

Today I am one achy stiff* rabid old cowbag of a women. Yes Im
bemoaning my lot - my mind is slowly matching my body in its rebellious take on functioning in an adequate way, never mind maximising my last summer holiday of the year (which have been terrible: cancelled due to bereavement or rubbish due to weather)

Next doors dog!

Shes a lovely woman and it’s a nice little thing but its bark sounds like a scream and it barks all the way out of the road and all the way back every time it’s being walked

Just thought of another thing. The poor quality and high prices of clothes.
Most of them are pretty badly made, was wandering round the shops yesterday.
75%+ were made in China, 85%+ were synthetic or man-made material and, frankly, I do not give a monkey's if it is recycled polyester, it is still polyester.

Being in a European country, where virtually the last language I hear is the lingua franca of that country.
AI everywhere, whether it is bots on a website, unsolicited, verbose explanations when doing a simple internet search or clearly AI-generated photos, films or adverts. YouTube is especially bad in this respect.
Even more irritating is the immediate, subservient back-pedalling when you challenge the response.
AI assumptions based on where it thinks you are or what language you are using at the time.
Being asked to log into things using my Google log in by clicking on a link, just no!
Notifications that I have logged into something, when
a) I know I have
and
b) whatever it was has already sent me either a code or a verification step, which I have clearly completed
People who do not seem to know their participles or how to build tenses correctly in English. Over use of American syntax and idioms.
Addressing hotel or waiting staff in the local language and being asked if I speak English, because they do not speak the local language. Even more annoying is being addressed by person 1 in one language and person 2 in another language - even if I speak both fluently, this is not something I wish to encounter at 07:00 before I have had a cup of coffee.
People, who no longer know or care whether a word should be preceded by "a" or "an".

They've changed where the buses leave in town. I waste so much time checking where I can get the bus. I can get several but they're all dotted around everywhere just as I got used to where I needed to catch my bus from (I moved 2 years ago and had just got into the habit of knowing where they were)

Projectprincesschaos · 31/08/2026 14:35

I’m in busy popular place - feck me the dogs. I’m not a lover as in want to watch or pet them but do not dislike them.

BUT why are so many in shops waiting to trip you up, on long leads so take up more space unnecessarily, make noise and sudden loud barks and squeaks when they have beef with other dogs.

I feel like my holiday is being invaded by rude dog owners and their dogs

BrokenJemima · 31/08/2026 13:59

Oh that’s irritating. I took today off for just me and couldn’t sleep so my lie in went for a Burton and then went to buy school trousers (last minute because he’s been growing a lot over summer ). None to be had in his size. Tonnes for age 8 weirdly

I had exhausting weekend running around and coming down with something.
Kids off to school,no work today so I thought I’d go for a nap.

I was just nodding off when delivery driver rang my doorbell. Went to the door,no parcel for me. Now I’m fully awake.

@Eddie16 I’m sorry you have to deal with people’s crap (maybe literally). What the fuck is wrong with people ? I make no apologies for swearing and think it’s needed on a ranty thread .

80% of Jewish people are zionists. And they all have low IQs? As well as the entire population of Israel?

I will eventually do some washing (clothes and dishes) and not forget anything

Fecking vanity sizing everywhere online, and charging for returns! Ordered a 12, it's more like a 16. Now have to fanny about with paid returns.

Companies using AI. Cross country rejected my claim for delay repay for last Sunday when virtually none of their trains were running. Because they used AI they rejected my claim. I've emailed them and have to wait for a person to answer

Perimenopause and having a cold over the bank holiday. I've been awake since 4am coughing, congested and blowing my nose or having a hot flush. Am exhausted and fed up. Decided to stay in bed today, watching some cosy films and reading.

My cousin always taking an age to reply on WhatsApp like days, you wouldn’t want to be dying. I appreciate she’s busy and has young children but her behaviour does tip the balance towards plain rude on occasion
