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’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.

Another uni, another restructure here. Getting rid of the dead wood would be one thing that could help but they never do that. Instead the rest of us pick up the slack. Contemplating quiet quitting.

I’m pissed off that my daughter is on the other side of the world and hasn’t bothered to even read my last WhatsApp message from 3 days ago let alone reply! Yes there’s a time difference, but we know the good windows and she’s just letting them roll by! Meanwhile it’s now gone 2am, I’ve got horrendous hayfever, work in the morning plus travel to an event and can’t sleep with those little worries creeping in! Honestly sometimes - bloody kids!

Yet if there was a crisis, she would be in touch and expected response ASAP. Or maybe I am projecting from my own daughter…

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. 😂

Please take photos ( and upload them to this thread ) if they have to resort to that !!
I would be raging too …..

Been to a hospital appointment which involved limbs being rolled to check joints.

Come home in pain to find the house next door but one(terrace) has been sandblasted and it's obvious it wasn't sheeted. Front of house is full of sand, window cleaner came yesterday grrr.

Maybe she is unwell and trying to cope?

PP can still be annoyed.

Why are so many burger buns brioche? Who wants a sugary burger?

Agree, they are gross!

On holiday abroad with DH who has mobility issues and needs to use a scooter .
I’m VERY pissed off at those locals ( obvs can tell by their car registration plates ) who park over dropped kerbs, and park in disabled bays .
It took a long time for the municipalities here to provide these facilities - and now it seems very few people want to abide by the rules.

Redbean667 · 01/07/2026 19:26

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

In defence of comic sans, it’s the easiest font for people with LD/dyslexia to decipher. Otherwise I would agree with you that it should be banned forthwith.

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

Idiots mixing up your and you're. It's not at all difficult and they mean completely different things.

Auburngal · 01/07/2026 18:33

Pissed off to get stuck at temporary traffic lights. There is about 200m coned off with no sign of any work being done.

Dont cone off sections of road and put up temp traffic lights until work has started

Auburngal · 01/07/2026 18:29

One of my fans broke last night. Moved it across and one of the supports that holds the blade cage snapped off. It was 32 years old. Got 1 other fan

This morning I ordered a replacement. Had to check the delivery date as a couple on Amazon said will said delivery on 2nd SEPT!

Ordered one and found an Amazon locker on a slight diversion from my journey to the office tomorrow. You probably can predict that the fan won’t be delivered until late evening. No lockers were available nearer.

I've often wondered how this works because I know in London a lot of Councils will grant developers permission to build housing on the condition that 10%-20% or a certain allocation is social housing.

As everyone knows, housing is astronomical in London, so I wonder how those people feel who say spend half a million for an flat to then find themselves next door to someone like you've described as above?

Our house is owned by us outright but is an ex council house in a much cheaper area

I don't know about London but our council seem scared of her (we are not the only ones who've complained about her)

It pisses me off that we paid a large amount for our house and cant use our own garden (or step out of our front door without her howling)

If we sell,we'd lose money because of her

I wonder if you live close to me. Are you near a leisure centre? One of my local parkruns starts next to a leisure centre and they are building padel courts next to it - very close to houses and they'll be open from 6am to 10pm. I don't live nearby but I feel for the people who do.

Not me! There are a lot of padel courts being built though. And lots are too close to houses.

Wilko closing. Today I had a really busy day at work, my elderly dad was freaking out and needing frequent support in between juggling work and needed a random assortment of things - think sympathy card, pint of milk, fence paint, a pack of screws, dog food, a new door mat, some stationary items and shampoo for me and said dog. I hate shopping and want to get it over as soon as possible. When Wilko existed, I could have run in and got all this really quickly. Now theres stupid B&M with the rude check out staff, or lovely home bargains which is tiny and does not have most of what I need. But Wilko always came through for me. Hoping we get a Range at some point.

We’ve recently had Boyes open in the old Wilko in town and it’s a fantastic replacement for Wilko, in fact it’s even better.

Pissed off with my micromanaging team leader! Takes ALL of my willpower not to tell her to fuck off countless times a day!

I wonder if you work with my ex-boss. She was a micromanaging bitch.

I’ve just found out that there are plans for two padel courts to be built about 50m from my house. Am so sad and angry, and apprehensive about the noise. Will do all I can to object to the plans.

I wonder if you live close to me. Are you near a leisure centre? One of my local parkruns starts next to a leisure centre and they are building padel courts next to it - very close to houses and they'll be open from 6am to 10pm. I don't live nearby but I feel for the people who do.

igelkott2026 · 01/07/2026 16:44

People who park on pavements. I just went for a walk and my route took me along a fairly main road. It was almost a no go area for pedestrians because of all the parked cars on the pavement (the road is wide and they could park on the road - or in their driveways). Not only do they block most of the pavement, but they also drive on and off when a pedestrian is there. Happened twice.

Walking is meant to be good for you. I fear it just raises my blood pressure.

My neighbour is really winding me up
She rents from the council and we own

(I'm not a snob,this is context)

She's a raging narcissist and has taken a dislike to us (only us) and spends her time screaming down the phone or kicking her yappy dog outside

It yaps at nothing or if we try to use our own garden (then she or her fella scream at us for 'setting it off')

Yep,they get a yappy breed and it's all our fault it barks

They dump their rubbish at the side of their house and it's all our fault they end up with rats

They don't talk to each other-they scream at each other while what sounds like them slinging plates/cups at each other

She thinks nothing of banging on our front door to scream at us over nothing

Their fucking dog woke me up at 6:30 this morning and I'm at work until 10pm (she doesn't work)

We couldn't use our garden in the heatwave (partly because I had a trapped nerve in my hip,I couldn't walk and partly because of the dog)

Council don't want to know-they say they'll 'have a word' but don't bother

My next step will be my mp

Oh,and I'm going round in circles trying to book a smear test

You have to book online,tried that and was sent a message to say 'ring this number'

I rang the number,'oh,you need to book online'

Tried (again) to book online-'ring this number'

I'm so fed up

That someone has booked a family get together today at the precise time of:

  1. Novak playing Stefanos on Centre Court
  2. England playing in the World Cup.
TaffyandTeenyTaffy · 01/07/2026 15:35

Sciatica. Whilst abroaf on holiday. Meaning I cant do all the lovely long beach walks that i had planned. And pissed off the GP would not prescribe me the tablets that would have really helped as he wanted me to try some others - that I knew from experience would do bugger all - first. Trying to make the best of it but it just feels like £3k down the drain.

I recently bought 2 thin light coloured tops. Thin is fine, I wanted thin, it is hot out there. Neither were cheap, but instead of a label the brand name and size is printed on the fabric, where a label would normally be. This is clearly visible, with back to front lettering when worn.
