What's pissing us all off today?

What's pissing me off today is a misogynistic man trying to throw me under a bus today on Teams in front of 30 colleagues ranging from my level to five levels above me.

I had messages from five different people during the call asking if I was OK.

The man is like bloody Teflon - no grievances seem to stick to him. I left work early and went the pub with the dog. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

I'm here to ask for solidarity for anyone else who is thoroughly pissed off today and see if we can fume together.

I haven’t ran pain free for almost a year. Absolutely fed up of it now and even considering that my running ‘career’ may be over

I dislocated my jaw yawning…dislocated before so maybe easier than most. I am hungry and fed up…

WilfredsPies · 01/07/2026 22:09

Work, family, the heat, peri menopause symptoms and a couple of acquaintances. They can all fuck off.

Work related
People who keep changing their minds
People who move the goal posts constantly
People who don’t do what they said they would do
Can you tell I’ve had a bad day?

I'm pissed off, that nothing ever seems to work out for my ND young adult daughter. Nothing she tries to do ever works out. Yesterday was particularly shitty after being told she had yet again failed her maths exam (4 attempts at GCSE, then functional skills), she was then dismissed from her work placement a week after being told she needed to improve, but not being told specifically what she needed to do to improve. She is completely done with everything.

Update is that Teflon man will shortly be recommended for a sideways move. He pissed off too many people yesterday by the looks of it.

He also ran away when I tried to speak to him today. Coward.

Cross fingers it happens!

I’m pissed off that I’m going on holidays next week 🤣 I’m really looking forward to it and I have a full month off work but I’m irrationally pissed off about something I can’t identify that sets me of every time I think of it

Quietly seething at school parents who are complaining on what's app about the y6 leavers party.

It's too expensive
Hotdogs and pizza isn't good enough,
We should have organised group transport/ party bus. (Venue is at most 3 minute drive away from school)

None of the parents providing these "helpful" suggestions, 2 days before the event have offered to help set up, supervise at event or tidy up.

DH is pissing me off by telling me he told me this would happen when I offered to help back in Nov. 😡

Hoarder parent died and had hoarded the house, the garden shed, two lofts, two vehicles, two other sheds, two huge garages, my neighbours shed.rear of my garden.
Mainly heavy things like boxes of tools etc
I'm so overwhelmed with it all.

We recently had Emmaus charity do a house clearance after a parent died. They cleared everything from large house, garage, shed and the loft (oh my God the loft!!). They were absolutely brilliant. Took everything and nothing was too big or too difficult. Yes you have to pay but the pressure and stress relief was worth every penny.

I'm pissed off that I got stuck in my lift today with my dog who kept farting. Fortunately I had my phone so was able to call the fire brigade to rescue me. Still very fucking frightening though! I'm never going to use the lift again 😕

Cel77 · 01/07/2026 21:08

My stupid ,slow computer.
Having to pay to add my signature on a PDF document .
The dog misbehaving.
No clean pants in the house. Having to do a late night wash.
Always being in my overdraft.
Tech issues at work and home.

I’m pissed off that the overpaid VC (who gets paid a grand a day) and the board of my university have decided to change the structure of our colleges and roles with a lack of transparency. Nothing will change for the students but for the overworked and underpaid professsional services staff the uncertainty of our future is quite horrible.

I’m sorry you have to go through this.
Unfortunately, this sector has a long history of form on undemocratic and frankly, cruel management style.

Trying not to glance across at my husband ramming crisps into his mouth as if it were a mincer and losing most of them on the floor….

Noshadowsinthedarkness · 01/07/2026 20:59

Batshit messages from a school Mum I barely even know.

My sensory processing system. I'm autistic, and lucky that I don't usually feel these things most of the time. Today for some reason though, it's like everything has turned up to 11. I can't bear either the sensation of wearing my hair in a ponytail or having my hair down. I'm too aware of my own teeth. The ground hurts my feet when I walk. Everything is too loud and too bright. Overhearing conversation sets my teeth on edge.
I have to be in the office tomorrow and pretend I'm a normal functioning human being.

rainbowsparkle28 · 01/07/2026 20:52

Every bloody thing (if you’ll pardon the pun)…can you tell I’m due on?! 🤦‍♀️

My DH- work cancelled today (materials delayed so can’t work) so he laid in his phone all day and done nothing in the house at all, I have come home from work cooked dinner and done washing - sooooooo angry

That’s a turn back around and take yourself off to cinema / dinner / walk round the park sort of behaviour

Oh dear. My record is 40 in one sitting. Did you beat that?

Ha ha, not quite! I need to up my game 🤣

Pissed off that I arrived to a shitty email from a colleague (who I line manager) essentially bollocking me for something that hadn’t happened. If they were less incompetent and less self righteous I would have not spent the day with a massive cob on and eaten my body weight in Jaffa cakes.

Next door and hoe loud his music is. I want a wee in peace and not have to listen to his music

Justploddingonandon · 01/07/2026 20:27

Right now, my neighbours are celebrating the football. Loudly, in their garden, and it’s keeping DD awake. They’re not even my direct neighbours, but half way down the row, which gives some idea how loud they’re being.

Femalemachinest · 01/07/2026 20:23

People at work having "private" conversations infront of me in hushed voices. Waiting for me to leave or stopping talking if I pass.... find somewhere else to talk!

Oh really? I’ve never heard that before and I will very happily welcome seeing it in future! Thanks for saying!

Hmm not sure it is the best. Perhaps for some..
I find comic sans difficult because it has uneven spaces and poorly shaped. Realise I must be an exception. Also have ADHD which impacts reading skills so that could be a factor too.

We’re going away on Friday and my husband and son haven’t even started washing things they might want to take. Told them both last week that I would be busier towards the end of this week and would happily help but would be out of spare time by Wed. They’ve done fuck all. We’re visiting dd overseas and have a long list of stuff to take. Will put all of her requests with my stuff in the cases and they can wear a fetching array of dresses and skirts for all I care. 😂

My family have a habit of dumping everything in the washbin that was sitting around in their bedrooms - the day before we go away. Either I do it all that day, when I've got other things to organise (plus there is too much washing to fit on the line) or I leave it till we get back, and return to a pile of holiday washing plus a pile of pre-holiday washing.

(And yes, it will be me doing it, I seem to be the washing fairy.)
