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’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.

Good luck, its a horrendous noise.

I am laid up with horrendous ankle injury. I had operation 2 weeks ago with metal plates and screws installed. Total agony. I have been totally on my own since getting home. My darling son just wants me to send him money for plumbing problems but hasn’t been near me. Tonight is particularly bad as he was to come see me tomorrow night but made his excuses. I made the mistake of being annoyed and now he has blocked me. Thank god for ankle scooters upstairs and down or I would have starved. It has taught me to not be in a position to depend on anyone even for moral support.

That's sounds really tough... Order some nice food in

I’m pissed off that my reformer Pilates instructor keeps cancelling classes at short notice. I pay in advance for a service she provides as part of a business, and it is really annoying to wake up to a message saying the class is off with less than 12 hours notice. Today is two out of my last three classes this has happened. (I’ve found another studio I am going to try and have booked a class there next week, but this one’s really handy and I like the classes when they actually run.)

Maybe she is unwell and trying to cope?

I'm SO immensely pissed off that DH has put off paying his half for new windows that we desperately need. I got several quotes last spring and he's just dragged his heels saying we need the money for 'other things' (no idea what they are because we have a massive list of things we need doing, and none of them have been done).

He spent most of last winter complaining about how cold it was because the windows are knackered, and now he spends every evening huffing and puffing about how hot it is upstairs and he can't sleep, and he's so tired at work, yadda yadda yadda.

No fucking shit Dave (not his real name). We can't open the bedroom windows that's why it's like a bloody sauna in here. Stop your fucking whinging and stump up.

Now it's going to cost more to do what we could have done last year. And I suppose I'll have to organise it, as usual...

I can relate to that last sentence. Why do so many men expect their lives to be run for them? It’s so exhausting and demoralising

I’m pissed off that my mange tout plants, to whom I have shown nothing but fabulous tender care and devotion since the moment I put the seeds in the pot, have all inexplicably died. Wankers.

This!

Day 12 of the summer virus from hell. No signs of improvement - just switching from symptom to symptom. I could cry.

My young adult kids seem to need me more and more as they get older. When will I be free from all this?

Justmuddlingalong · 30/06/2026 21:55

I'm pissed off that while we're in the middle of decorating, umpteen family members at umpteen different times drop in for a cuppa.
FUCK OFF TO COSTA!

SupernaturalAddict · 30/06/2026 21:54

I'm pissed off as I took my ds (16) to a group for yp with autism that I had called before hand and explained that he a lot of needs and was severe which they said was fine as the group was for kids with asd. We turned up and the group was inappropriate and he was by far the most disabled with the rest of the yp more quirky. I hate that even groups that are supposed to be for him are so far out of his reach. That isn't a gripe against the other kids but a gripe against the lack of groups for him.

I'm so glad my DH is a builder, I at least never have to worry about shit like that 😅 you are right to be pissed off. If I were you I'd be telling him if the job isn't finished by X date then you're getting a builder/plumber etc in to finish it. Nobody wants to live in a building site😕

I’m so envious @Devilsmommy.
Joking aside, I’m really starting to resent him as there is mess everywhere. He is a hoarder too, so all manner of broken crap is kept just in case it could be used as spares or mended in the future. He doesn’t see the irony in spending thousands of pounds on building sheds to store all this useless crap. I’m at my wits end

GreenFootstool · 30/06/2026 21:52

Am also pissed off because DH is deployed, I'm sulking, I'm tired, I'm on my own for three months and I had to cook my own dinner.

FFS.

Ooh this is timely ... I'm absolutely fucking raging at my twat of an ex husband, to say why would be massively outing but let's just say he's fucked up massively and the kids know it. My husband is also absolutely fucking raging at his ex wife. We're raging together. At least not at each other 🙏🏽😅

GreenFootstool · 30/06/2026 21:51

We're all great, everyone pissing us all off can FOTTFSOFTFOSM.

Solidarity to everyone dealing with wankers, especially when stuck in the middle of NHS buck-passing.

Oh, @GreenFootstool, I hope he catches syphilis and his knob drops off.

I’m annoyed as the electricians finally came round to do the second fix on our house reno after a total palaver. We ordered the light fittings for them four weeks ago but the website neglected to mention the stock was in Germany.

The lights turned up…ten minutes after the electricians left for the day. We will have to pay for them to come round again 😭🤬

Edit: and we still don’t have lights downstairs - living in the house reno is not fun 😭

Buscobel · 30/06/2026 21:46

Most things.

Health
Money or lack thereof
Tradespeople not fulfilling their obligations
Road works, road closures and general road crap

Pissed off that my DP is leaving a trail of destruction across our property of projects he has no skills in but insists on starting. Why do men think it is a reflection of their manhood if they can’t replace a roof or fix a tractor or install a gate etc etc? It gets on my tits that there is broken machinery, leaking roofs and all manner of batshit crazy other stuff everywhere I look. He won’t get properly trained tradesman in because he doesn’t think they will do a good job 🤣🤣🤣🤣

HangryBrickShark · 30/06/2026 21:43

I'm annoyed that people can't seem to drive at 30mph in a 30mph zone and think its fine to amble along at 22mph instead. This obviously has a knock on effect on other motorists forced to go at that speed and before you know it there's a long line of traffic crawling along because of some muppet at the front who can't maintain a correct speed .

And as for expecting that people can actually drive at 50mph in a 50mph zone. No one seems capable of going over 40mph. And as for dropping down a gear on the approach to a bend or actually taking your foot off the accelerator (because amazingly this causes the car to lose speed 🙄) they just brake, brake, brake every few seconds, brake, brake, brake.
.
When you follow a car which starts going slower and slower or starts braking for no reason. And its drifting along with the driver appearing to be in a zombie state. And you start to look around wondering if there is something in the road causing an obstruction. But it's nothing like that, they are just dozy bastards who lise concentration and suddenly stop at the side of the road without indicating or even realising you are behind them. why they are braking. Is there an obstacle ahead? HELLOOOO I'm behind you.

And at traffic lights when there are two lanes of traffic and the outside lane is straight on or turn right. Why do people turning right wait until the lights turn to green before indicating to turn right so that we are all stuck behind them with no where to go. If we'd seen them indicate as they approached the traffic lights we wouldn't be sat there would we? Grrrr

Im pissed off about roadworks that have just started, which make the trip to work absolute hell, and they are here for atleast 10 months

Isitevensummer · 30/06/2026 21:36

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.

The weather. Another heatwave next week. My perimeno body can’t take another 30 plus degree week sweating just getting dressed in the morning. And taking care of two young children in the heat
