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.

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

YES, as in I agree not that I want a brioche with my burger

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. 😂

I'm so pissed off that my plantar fasciitis has flared up again after several years of being pain free. Just as I'm retiring and want to be more active. Bast*rd 😡 😤

BurntBroccoli · 01/07/2026 08:19

Also sick of blokes at work who can’t meet a deadline and try to blame me (when I’ve reminded them at least 4 times).

I need a load of guys to help me with it all too , ive got a neck injury on top of everything. If I order a skip and just climb into it and sit there do you think they'd take me away? The junk can stay, im off!

Obviously not for everyone but when I had to clear out a Grandparent's garage, sheds and out houses, which I knew all needed skipping, I had 3 local lads do it. They had been trying to make a bit of cash for the summer by mowing lawns and offering to wash cars. This was over the summer a few years ago, they were 14/15. Spoke to the parents and they were happy they were earning and keeping out of trouble.

I'm pissed off that Bev Craig is campaigning for Manchester Mayor as "Bev". Apparently she's a household name who needs no introduction and can be on a first name only basis with the whole of Manchester. Like a mancunian Madonna. I only found out who she was last week.

I'm finding it annoying enough that labour ditched on the mayoralty mid term. I liked Burnham as mayor and he was doing a great job. We had a decent PM. We did not need this by-election. It almost makes me want to vote green but I could not live with myself if reform got in.

🤣🤣🤣

Get skips. I got one for late DH’s shed. Yes I could have spent hours going through it all but as I watched myself filling it from an upstairs room I realised there was probably twenty trips to the tip in that skip.

I probably saved myself some money in fuel and I definitely save myself hours and hours of time.

Cos it gives the arsehole restaurant an excuse to charge more.

I’m so angry that my daughter’s head teacher at her school has literally walked off the job and returned to the UK with zero explanation or apologies. We only started at this school last year and now really questioning our choice.

Correct.
My two favourite(!) instances are on the pub signage (not posters, the actual metal affixed to the brick) at the Royal in south london, and secondly on all council notices of temporary /parking restrictions in the London borough I volunteer in.

DH has been sick for a full year this month. Average recovery is around 6 months so he’s over double that. Not his fault of course but as we’d decided he’d be the only earner just months before he got sick it’s not been fun.

Because someone else will get just the right side of completely fucked off that they will do it for them? I'm not even asking for him to DO anything, other than agree to pay for half of it.

"But what type of windows will they be? What will they look like? What if they're rubbish fitters and we have a problem?"

Well Dave, they will be in exactly the same place the current ones are because that's where the big holes in the walls are. They will be see-through, they will open and close, and they will look like pretty much every other double-glazed window you have ever seen. If there's a problem, I can pretty much guarantee that you will do fuck-all about it and leave it to me to deal with, so no need for you to worry poppet.

Sorry, this made me laugh

I’m raging that my son’s school found it fitting to tell him he was changing schools before we did. How bloody dare they!

I’m sure they assumed you had already told him!

We had hundreds in our loft and walls - the smell passes very quickly! Make sure you get a professional exterminator to come and find where they got in to your house and block it up so you don’t get a second infestation like we did - it was even worse than the first one 😕

This is giving me some hope. It’s may be not quite so bad this morning. But it’s not hot yet I suppose. Yesterday it was making me feel nauseous. Pest control man is due back tomorrow.
we have three useless dogs that you would think might have helped, two of which are Jack Russell’s so rat catching should be their reason for living. But nooooo.

My MIL - shock. I’m a midwife and pregnant with first baby. We’re not finding out the sex but she is convinced that because I’m a midwife I must know and I’m just not telling her. Realise it’s a non-issue but I’m hot, uncomfortable and irritable.

That the blooming summer cold has given me sepsis. Fortunately picked up early and I’m on antibiotics but I’ve electricians working on a project I’ve been planning for ages and I can’t go to site to have a look at the work they are doing.

Mydogisagentleman · 01/07/2026 07:43

Mine is a first world problem.
I've spent the last 4 days driving from Southern Spain with my dog.
First day he got food poisoning and was sick in his bed. Umpteen squirty poos a couple of hours later (02.30) and a vet visit. Got him a new bed, but the car absolutely stinks.
Finally arrived at our hotel at a service station, breakfast is a £10 voucher but Leon doesn't open until 8.30.
To put the tin hat on it, I am not wearing knickers. I can't find any clean ones in the shit pit that's the back of the car.
Looking on the bright side, I should be home by midday if I leave now

JacknDiane · 01/07/2026 07:37

Next doors dog, out loudly barking before 7am every morning. And we've asked nicely if he could be quiet. Like train him not to just go outside, pee. And stand and bark at nothing for 20 minutes.
Small terraced houses, back to back gardens.

The thought of 5 possibly 7 days of 30 celcius returning to my area next week 😩

What is it with people shouting into their phones on buses and trains?

Without wanting to appear racist I've noticed it is always people from different cultures. Impossible to read my book on the train yesterday as the African woman with the impressively loud booming voice sat in the next set of seats in front doesn't give a shit about any of the other passengers and is intent on broadcasting her conversation across the whole carriage.

Quietness on public transport is soon to become a thing from a bygone era - pre mobile phones.

Noise Cancelling headphones added to my Christmas list.

Just tell them, I do
