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 think you can make your point without using such foul language, OP. It really isn’t necessary and takes away from the post.

My goodness, I can't quite believe you think that's foul. It's incredibly therapeutic to use them occasionally, (including the correct version of the actual word.) Swearing isn't a problem on Mumsnet and I value a thread where we can release our annoyances honestly without covering up for delicate eyes and ears. It obviously isn't the thread for you, but please don't take away the facility for other people's healthy rants.

Who is stealing my windscreen wipers????? Rear one was stolen a few weeks ago but I wasn't that bothered because it needed replacing. Now the perfectly serviceable front one has gone. Why? Who? 😡

Someone posts something with a stain saying ‘it will come out in the wash’. So wash it you dirty gopper.
I was just thinking exactly this 5 minutes ago, when looking at a beautiful dress on Vinted, I would have bought it even at the price ( over 100 quid for a secondhand dress) until I saw the stain which they said wasn't a stain and that it would come out when washed. How do they know it will, and if it's true, why haven't they washed it themselves? Really grim.

Bloody ASMR and tappy fucking nails on everything.

I've been searching online for a new travel bag recently and now my feeds are flooded with ads where someone clicks, zips, and nail taps unrealistic amounts of stuff into various tote bags.

All those little noises make me positively murderous.

The realisation that the HRT I've started taking in the hope that it will alleviate my symptoms is causing me horrible anxiety. This is just as a new menopause symptom has arrived: being unable to drink a cup of tea without it causing my head and face feel like they're on fire and then sweating profusely for about an hour afterwards.

Wet washing over the house

Wasted a day off waiting in for a shed from Tesco.

Twats.

Plantar bastard fasciatus(sp) whatever, is a cunt.
Bloody dh who decided to keep me company on my 6 monthly hospital visit in Big City. I like a wander after. Pointless meandering. Going to shops he has no interest in and I never go to because of that. "But which shop, what do you want there? Why?" Yes I gave up. But he wanted a look out and to keep me company. 🫤
The Big Stink. Live in rural town. I think its slurry spreading season. The whole town stinks to high heaven. Can't put washing out, windows closed.

After putting three loads of washing in our and drying and away whilst working FT compressed as kids club is somehow only 9-3 taking kids to kids club back again. Tea for everyone bath and shared bedtime…DH gets int bed and rather than putting the sheet that was clean and folded in the cupboard with rest of bedding laundry he threw it on the floor. Then looked at me like I was wild when I explained how fucked off I was at that….

Trying to check in for a Ryanair flight on-line. 20 minutes of frustration and I’m still not sure if I’ve done it right. Is making it this difficult a deliberate ploy to make us do it at the airport for an unspecified fee??
Oh wait - it’s Ryanair so of course it is.

daisyydaisyy · 28/08/2026 16:43

Fucking system at work. Miserable DP. fucking raining but hot so I don’t know what to wear. Fuckity fuck sake. I’m so wound up. Sat in pizza express waiting for DP and I know he can’t be arsed coming out even though it’s our anniversary celebration. He’s only coming I think cos he knows it means a lot to me, he couldn’t care less, isn’t one for celebrating anything! Wind up.

Bloody Green Man festival noise non stop for the entire weekend while we're trying to sleep...

Where are you that there's a green man festival in August?!

MrCollinsandhisboiledpotatoes · 28/08/2026 16:41

Christmas adverts and videos. They've already started popping up on social media.
Halloween is bad enough but FFS I was literally lying on the beach sunbathing a few days ago when an advert for a warm, fluffy Christmassy blanket pops up. Just why.

Projectprincesschaos · 28/08/2026 10:28

Aches- just wtf happened to my body in the past week?

Weather - one extreme to the other and my UK holiday next looks rainy and scrappy rather than warm and sunny. I booked it later so peak heat temps would have passed. You just can’t chuffin win.

Not being able to make an appointment for a hair cut. There are numerous hair salons in our town but not one of them can fit me in any time in the foreseeable future. They all say they’ve have ‘closed their books to new customers’ and I can go on a waiting list. I just want a bog standard cut and blow dry! If they answer the phone at all they immediately ask who your stylist is and if you say you can’t remember or you haven’t been before they won’t bother with you. It seems you have to be part of an elite club to get your hair cut round here lately.

DH just for existing. He's on a fortnight's leave but I'm back to work next week while he has another week to go. He's been luke warm and faffed about so we've not done anything that we had agreed to do together. It's raining (not his fault) and he's not wanted to go out either.

None of its the end of the world but I'm just a bit bah humbug (the rain isn't helping).

dh is updating his phone contract. I DO NOT NEED A RUNNING COMMENTARY about how shocking the vodafone website is, or how difficult it is to understand the contract variations, or how he now needs another password. If you need to speak out loud when you're on your computer please go into another room!

Oh and in the space of my writing this he's told me twice that he thinks he's saved £17.

My response "Ah that's nice dear". What I wanted to say was "I'm not f'**ing interested"

Edited

What is it about men and mobile phone contracts. DH will happily sit on a call queue for hours just to get some special deal on a dongle or WiFi thingie, whatever. It's all completely alien to me, I dont give a shit and no I don't care if we move to a different provider, or stay with the one we're on. It's all so freaking pointless.

Howmanycatsistoomany · 20/08/2026 20:43

Cats. If I'm not tripping over the feckers, they're using me as a pillow and they're all moulting so I'm sodding covered in floof and cat slobber.

DS not putting the food waste bin out despite being specifically asked to, leaving it to fester another week.

DS leaving the freezer door ajar causing defrosting of contents.

The state of DS' room.

DS finding all the above highly amusing.

DS not returning to uni for another 4 weeks.

Missymarple · 20/08/2026 19:09

Emails that just do not get to the fucking point. You're trying to tell us that we've got to use an alternate door to get in the building for the next fortnight. That's two sentences, max. Why are there paragraphs? Why is there a diagram?
