What one small thing is irrationally annoying you today; and what equally small thing is giving you disproportionate pleasure?

Pissing me off: The clothes on the rack that I haven't yet put away from last week.

Pleasing me: I don't have a freezing cold mouse hand for once!

Pissing me off: DH on gardening leave and getting under my feet.

Pleasing me: my hair free nostrils thanks to the Nads waxing kit. A revelation. Grin

ShotsFired · 18/10/2018 16:52

It can't just be me and thee with these minor pains/pleasures, Happy! Grin

The roadworks in town are pissing me off. Added 25 minutes onto my journey.

But it's the end of the working week for me as I don't work Fridays so that's pleasing me Grin

Pleasing me: Today is my Friday

Pissing me off: I have shitloads of stuff to do tomorrow and I;m exhausted.

CakeNinja · 18/10/2018 17:03

Pissing me off - lack of chargers, I’m trying to pack to go away tomorrow and I can’t find my chargers Angry

Pleasing me - just had my eyebrows waxed and a facial and I feel so chilled.

Until I remember the chargers...

anitagreen · 18/10/2018 17:05

My anxiety has been playing up for a few days and I feel really stressed out from it
Pleasing me the Sainsbury's toy sale!

OhMrTumnus · 18/10/2018 17:22

Pissing me off: realisation that I'm the one in a particular friendship group to make an effort when someone's down/ill/needs a shoulder, but when I could do with it, not one of them has been in touch.

Disproportionate pleasure: my reception aged DC reading to me this after 3 weeks at school and seeing the happiness on her little faceSmile.

HashTagLil · 18/10/2018 17:24

Pissing me off? Everything PMT

Pleasing me? Pizza on order also PMT.

GlassSuppers · 18/10/2018 17:26

Pissing me off: my unruly toddler

Pleasing me: the fact I'm at work this evening and get a break from the mayhem

TheQueef · 18/10/2018 17:31

Pissing me off.= Need new fire at least £1000, sweep casually informed me after he did the chimney that there is a whacking great hole in the fire.
Pleasing me.= I'm going to eat all the Haloween sweets. I always knew I would but I feel justified now.

SecretWitch · 18/10/2018 17:37

Pissing me off: I cannot find tele remote
Pleasing: wonderful crackly fire on this chilly night

HashTagLil · 19/10/2018 07:01

Pissing me off- I’ve come into work to find I’ve been moved to a different area today. Not happy.

LittleBookofCalm · 19/10/2018 07:03

LEMtheoriginal · 19/10/2018 07:14

Pissing me off - the thought of going to work.

Pleasing me - the thought of going to work.

AstralTraveller · 19/10/2018 07:14

That I have yet another day of dealing with a carpenter here that doesn't seem to be able to think more than one day ahead. Been doing the job for years, looked at it well in advance and has had the plans via email and by hand well in advance but seems surprised that he would need timber and nails. If I did my job the way he does his I would be sacked when I turned up on day two. Can't wait to see his tail lights in the distance and I am as grrrrrr as fuck already and he's not even here yet.

yawning801 · 19/10/2018 07:22

Pissing me off - awful awful period pain, I nearly had to go home yesterday because I was so dizzy because of it

Pleasing me - DCat purring away in my ear

HumptyNumptyNooNoo · 19/10/2018 07:42

PMO - I've had all week off and don't seem to have achieved anything on my 'to do list'
PM - I've got next week off too - so it doesn't matter !

GoodbyeSummer · 19/10/2018 08:02

My youngest refusing to put their socks on. I've threatened that they'll have to go to school without them and they've bloody well said yes!

I can't actually think of anything that I'm pleased about tbh

OliviaStabler · 19/10/2018 08:06

Pissing me off: woman getting in my way on the way to work

Pleasing me: the knowledge I can finish at 4:30pm today and get home to my cats

Sallystyle · 19/10/2018 08:12

Pissed off that I am tired and I have college and a night shift, when all I want to do is sleep all day.

I am very pleased that I have 7 days off after tonight though.

WhyAmIAwakeThisEarly · 19/10/2018 09:06

PMO : DP has been working away all week & is coming home tonight & will want sex & I really CBA

PM: I’ve still got all day to slob in my skanky dressing gown

Dowser · 19/10/2018 10:44

Pissing me off...I haven’t had enough sleep. Poorly in night and we’re flying home
Pleasing me..seeing my family

EscapeTheCastle · 19/10/2018 10:50

Pissing me off: Persons who keep their household wheelie bin in front of their property when they don't have to. It looks crappy and I am Margo from the Good Life and I need the road to look good for my friend Hyacinth Bucket when she comes to visit me.

Pleasing me: Remembering Snoopy, the cartoon dog I used to like as a child.

GoopWrithing · 19/10/2018 10:56

Pissing me off: I had bad dreams and the house seems grotty, which is my own fault, and I have to catch up on chores I've been avoiding.

Pleasing me: The new season of Lore should be available on Amazon Prime today, and I'm really looking forward to a nice binge tonight.

Chipsahoy · 19/10/2018 11:31

Children not listening (it's half term) is pissing me off. Just small stuff, like remembering to put their underwear in wash basket without me reminding them multiple times.

Sun through the trees in the park we are currently at is pleasing me greatly.
