What's pissing us all off today?

I am pissed off at my house chain. 8 of us altogether and my sellers are dictating that they can only move on two days out of a 2 month period which of course somebody else can't do. They have been entitled wankers all the way along and if I didn't love the house so much I would have told them to shove it up their arses months ago!

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.

@violetcuriosity Try searching evaporative cooling unit on Ebay. I found some starting at £170.
They work well & are lighter weight than AC units.

Feeling a bit crap yesterday afternoon has turned into a virus. I know I'm ill because I actually managed to get 8 hours sleep for a change.

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

I'm pissed off at whichever neighbour it is that has a cockerel in a built up residential area. I'm also pissed off that when I tried to figure out which exact house it was so I could speak to them I was met with complete vitriol for having an issue with it. Now instead of being a grown up and talking to people I'll pinpoint the house and complain to the council.

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

I’m pissed off that I’m having a really shit year. I had tonsillitis in March which caused an extremely rare autoimmune attack on my brain and spinal cord which is taking a long time to recover from. I’m having said tonsils removed today which is going to be shit in itself. I have young kids and no idea how that’s going to work. I’ve been desperately looking for a portable AC unit, along with the rest of the country and there’s none in stock. I just want to be able to recover in a reasonable temperature 🤒 .

First full day off in ages and Ive woken up with a stonking headache which is going to turn into a migraine ( pain has migrated to my left eye) Ive got shit loads to do today .

Wide awake at 4am this morning. Finally gave up trying to get back to sleep & came downstairs to make coffee. 30 minutes & a coffee later, I am feeling less annoyed & considerably more relaxed.

DH gets up a little while later (he was snoring & deeply asleep when I left the bedroom). I gently decline his offer of a hug…because I’m feeling irritable and menopausal AF & don’t want to be touched. This is apparently unacceptable and leads to much heavy sighing, thereby undoing all of the nice relaxing feelings I was experiencing & leading me away from my book and relaxing thoughts, straight to MN to moan about it 🥴

I’m pissed and haven’t been able to sleep for days!

My mum was diagnosed with a terminal illness last week. She is now oxygen‑dependent 24/7 and has extremely limited strength — she cannot stand, cook, or manage basic daily tasks.

When I visited her at the weekend, her living conditions were deeply concerning. She lives with an alcoholic partner, and there is a feral dog in the home that makes it unsafe for visitors or carers. My mum was sleeping on a filthy mattress placed directly on bare, dirty floorboards.

I did what I could during my visit: we decorated her main living spaces, laid carpets, and built her a proper bed. Her partner is unable to help due to severe gout caused by his alcohol addiction, and my sibling is not currently providing support.
I live 3.5 hours away.

My mum needs daily assistance, but she is emotionally dependent on her partner and refuses to leave. I could potentially work from Scotland, but she has no internet access and no space for me to stay.

The only nearby family accommodation is my cousin’s home, which is nearly two hours away by public transport each way. Meanwhile, my husband, children, and life are here.

I have contacted all relevant services, and she is now on waiting lists, but I am extremely worried about her welfare — particularly her ability to feed herself and remain safe in her current environment.

It’s no fun, I have ten temperature variations, ( done menopause, now Parkinson’s the cause).
Drinking lots of cold water helps, pure cotton bedding helps me, hopefully you’re not in pain, often get aches myself

Hoping you recover soon x

I've just realised that I've run out of table napkins....

Summer colds and flu are just as awful as in the winter. Absolutely get blaming allergies for a long period.

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 😕

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!

I'm pissed off that I have to sit in traffic chaos because so many drivers don't get the concept of zipper merging.
On the upside tomorrow is a bank holiday and I have the rest of the week off. Time to crack the 🍷 open.

House Spiders!
Creased myself trying to escape the bathroom and not fall in to my sons room at the same time.
Honestly I'm impressed with the agility I shall never display again along with the self-restraint I showed in not burning the house down.
That particular horror was the 3rd in 24 hours and I am beyond terrified of them.
I know it's mating season but those horny fuckers can go creeping for a shag somewhere that isn't here.

Story of my life too

We had a snail rats nest under the house. Traps were set by the pest controller and must have been successful as the whole downstairs now smells like putrid dead rat. Dh is away for work leaving me to deal with three kids, three dogs and a currently unlivable house.

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.

I'm feeling like shit because I've got tonsillitis! 😫Swallowing is a huge challenge, and ice cream and yogurt and cold drinks is all I can get down. I ache from head to toe, and I hardly slept last night because of the stabby pains in my throat. Woe is me. 😢

THAT is what's pissing me off today @GreenFootstool 😆

Life......

We lost our Range, Wilko, Poundland and, Quality Save. Just have a B&M left
