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…..

Tried to have cherries and evaporated milk after dinner. Milk curdled, looked like vomit. Thought I would have some dates instead. Dates have gone mouldy, because they're bastards.

Went to use a new loo roll and ended up ripping half of the damn thing off trying to unstick it. Why the hell do they stick the end of the loo roll down?

Bored pre teen. Horrid red and itchy skin (thanks menopause)

Fucking hay fever.

Something has irritated the inside of my nose so much it feels like I've been snorting caustic soda.

My pooches - well one of them. He’s developed a whining, pestering, flouncing habit that he hopes will bully me into giving him treats and feeding him early. Been going on for a few weeks and starts at 5pm like clockwork. I swear he can read the time.

Love him, but not giving in.

Doughnuting · 16/06/2026 17:37

Agree on weather, it’s not summer and also mouldy fruit. Left in the fridge for just three days and come to eat it and discovered penicillin, again and again. Next time I go shopping for soft fruit and tomatoes I’m going to eat it in the car park. And children in work with an inability to listen resulting in the same instructions given multiple times. I’m not even covering up the disdain and sarcasm in my voice any more. Grrrrrrr

Dirty Gooper is my new favourite insult😂

Morrisons consistently shitty produce of late is getting on my nerves. I've just eaten one of their mini beetroot and I cant get the mildewy taste out of my mouth. Everything is always half rotten or a day from expiry. Loads of it goes in the bin. I'm done with them.

Topsy44 · 16/06/2026 17:22

This morning. A ridiculous pasag email from a young pup colleague.

This afternoon. My teen DD and elderly gentlemen cat mithering at me for food.

With particular reference today to our lack of decent military hardware and while the billionaires grow fat helping oversexed men (all being men) entertain themselves with misogyny and child abuse.

WaryCrow · 16/06/2026 16:57

The usual. Privatization, and more broadly being a citizen of an inept and corrupt country with many of our rights already removed and the threat of more to come. The stupidity of men.

WildUnknown · 16/06/2026 16:23

I took my friends DD out. She was repeatedly offered food and drinks and declined but has told her parents she was allowed to go thirsty..she was also a bit rude in the way she spoke to me. I hinted this to her Mum via text but she didn’t pick me up on it. I was doing them a big favour which put me out of pocket and feel a bit cheesed off as I had no issue with taking her, it’s the lying that bothers me

bedfrog · 16/06/2026 16:14

My stupid health condition that will not relent. I just want to go back to work. My body will not let me do ANYTHING and it is so frustrating. No treatment exists either so I'm just left in the lurch. UGH!!!

Waiting on a plasterer to board my bathroom wall. Was told yesterday “first thing in the morning.” Now it’s “we’re not sure.” Angry Hardly has an emergency job before coming who even has emergency plastering jobs?! All tradesmen grind my gears.

So many of them are absolute piss takers. They all whinged about European tradesmen stealing their jobs and undercutting them during during the Brexit debate, but at least they actually turned up when they said they would and took pride in their work. So many of them now can't be arsed, charge through the nose and don't even do a good job. A goods tradesman is rarer than hens teeth these days.

Mild, returning pain in my wisdom tooth that I had filled last week. I thought I was home free and now I'm scared about all manner of Dr Google info, again! 😠

Gingefringe · 16/06/2026 16:08

Football on the telly every night. We are not all football fanatics - some even hate the game and it’s obscene culture !!

PetulaGordeno · 16/06/2026 16:08

My other half having no remorse for losing a hat I kept of my dad’s. Who passed away years ago and I had it in a box of things of his I treasured.
I should never have let him use it. My bad, it was a last minute offer as it was 32 degrees out a few weeks ago and he was going somewhere and needed a hat.
There is no point getting upset as it will end up being my fault and I will end up in tears.
My dad was an amazing man, I have 50 years worth of memories that nobody can ever take from me.
I brought the hat back from my very first trip from NYC. Designer, in the posh Barneys bag, he was delighted with it. It was a big dog eared and got relegated to his gardening hat.
I have asked about it a few times and he kept making excuses. He was only out for thee hours nowhere rowdy like a festival or taken it on holiday.
I never ever lend stuff, which he well knows, I did ask him to take really good care of it as he knew of its meaning to me.

I scraped the skin off 3 of my fingers whilst trying to brush my patio with a hand brush . The amount of times over the last two days I have banged said cuts on cupboard doors, objects and drawers is unbelievable. Plasters don’t work as I seem to wash my hands too much and they become soggy. My neighbours must be hearing me shout/swear in pain/frustration each time🫠.

TroysMammy · 16/06/2026 15:56

People phoning to ask is their prescription is ready or I've rung the pharmacy and they don't have it. "When did you order it? " and the answer is Friday, Saturday or yesterday. The ones from Friday and Saturday were picked up by the pharmacy this morning so yes they do have it but you need to give them time too and the one from yesterday of course it's not ready!

I'm pissed off with answering the phone to people with these type of inane queries. No one is patient anymore. Just because you can order a takeaway at 1pm and can be eating it in half an hour or you ordered something off Amazon yesterday and you've got it today it doesn't apply everywhere.

Someone in the house has taken my last can of peach iced tea and a kinder beuno bar I was hiding!

I used to have one like that😂
Tell your husband to get a pac code and Vodafone will be straight on to him asking why he wants to cancel. They will greatly reduce his bill to get him to stay with them. I know from recent experience😊

So now I have to get more nerdy than him and google pac code (and look up my current contract to see what it says and when I can be released). 😂

I also have to plan my diary so that I can be pretty available once I've requested a pac code - equally annoying to my dh, is an umportant by unsolicited call by your phone provider when you've got 3 days of back-to-back meetings or 24 hours on an international flight.

However, thank you @ShiftingSand I will look into that. I will do it all silently and when I get an even bigger price reduction than dh (and I have my starting point - it's got to better than £17) I will share with him. Without the hint of a gloat. Or maybe not!! 😂

This will probably make me sound so fussy - shopping for a decent rain jacket that doesn't cost the earth

Have a look at Alpine Trek, link below:

Flip flopping about the future of my marriage.
Feeling like a big wet bag of shite. Tired and nauseous.

Our neighbours letting their dog bark all the time on a nice day when we'd like to be in the garden. And now their teenage son has come home early from school and is kicking a football around pointlessly with his mates and intermittently playing electronic music very loudly 😨
