For me it's finding the empty ibuprofen packet in the cupboard. Why would you do that FFS.

4am the dog barfed all over the bedroom carpet, had to get up and scrap it all off the carpet, then clean it before it stained all while she lay there watching me!

I fell down the stairs on the way to make my DS a bottle. My arse hurts 😭

Seeing that, despite the large number of pages explaining why it is 12.9, someone has come on today to the rounding thread giving the answer as 13.0.

My soar throat and earache and the impatient behaviour of a motorist. It's slippery, it's icy, it's f@cking freezing, I'm on a pushbike freezing my arse off. Chill!

Checking the bank balance this morning to notice £90 gone and realising the virus software was set to auto renew. Panic set in because there are 2 laptops so I had to check both were set to off on then rang them up at 7.15 to get a refund. Now to wait a week for my money to show in my account

AndhowcouldIeverrefuse · 21/01/2019 08:33

Work computer being slow.

Public transport turning up at random times.

PS OP my DH does the "put the empty pack back in the cupboard" thing, too. Just why??

CigarsofthePharoahs · 21/01/2019 08:33

Waking up and realising my voice has totally gone.
This is my second bout of probable flu in a month and after dealing with days of 39c + temperature I thought I was due a break.
No. Now I just make wheezy noises and feel like I'm going to wet myself when I cough.
No more viruses please.

bellinisurge · 21/01/2019 08:42

IT isshoos. Now resolved by the magnificence of my intervention.

DollyWilde · 21/01/2019 08:46

Curled up with period pain trying to summon the strength to go to work. No painkillers in the house. Oh and I’ve got period diarrhoea too. Joy. I have to go in because I’ve got stacks on.

Finding out my auntie’s cancer was back on Sunday and having my 30-something terminal mate collapse over the weekend isn’t helping. Oh and we’re skint.

I’m full of the joys this morning!

Finla · 21/01/2019 08:50

That my son spilt a whole bowl of cereal and milk all over the sofa Angry

TheVanguardSix · 21/01/2019 08:55

Heavy shit but the wave of sadness and anger drowning me more than usual today at the thought of how much my middle-aged brother’s recent crimes and drug habit have fucking killed our family. I feel like a fly stuck on fly paper most days. Grief-stricken and so angry. Sorry. It’s just one of those days. It’ll be Brexit or a finger slammed in the door tomorrow or backchat from the household teen- the usual effing and blinding stuff that I actually enjoy! Grin

Being very late out of the door for school and work. Spotting a bus and running for it, only to have the doors almost crush me as I dived on!

But the lovely driver apologised to me and my distraught six year old (who'd thought he was about to be abandoned in the pavement as I sailed off on a bus). Driver winked, said 'Oh DEAR the ticket machine must be broken, just get on, late Christmas present' WinkWink so we got a free lift to town! This leaves me able to buy DS a pair of new trainers today instead of having to wait til next week, so every cloud...

Bigonesmallone3 · 21/01/2019 09:02

Because I'm so fucking ill 😭

PrettySimple · 21/01/2019 09:07

Finding out ds has lost his an inhaler, then used his back up with friends in school trying to burst, it then taken his back up! Idiot!

Duckswaddle · 21/01/2019 09:12

Having an hour long argument with daughter this morning over having a wee Angry drives me bloody mad when a simple one minute task has to turn into an epic battle of wills, complete with screaming and crying.

Itstimetoscream · 21/01/2019 09:13

Stupid parents parking at a school on my way to work.

Nearthebig40 · 21/01/2019 09:17

I had a good happy swear because my mortgage has been approved... bloody brilliant!!!!

LikeACowsOpinion · 21/01/2019 09:28

3yo having a full on meltdown at 7 this morning because she wasn't ready for school and couldn't find her backpack or homework.. she doesn't go to school, she definitely doesn't have homework and the backpack she was referring to is her reins - that was a fun 30 minutes where I swore under my breath lots.

The pain in my back and hip; chronic pain and joints wearing away. Doctor being an arse about my prescription (of course everyone on opiates is an addict, never mind being in agony without them)

Sheet exhaustion.

The dog refusing to go outside for her morning wee (much too frosty for her delicate bum) and then pissing all over the kitchen tiles while staring at me.
It took every ounce of strength (and I don't have much) to not go nuclear.

On the plus side - after waving the white flag and breaking down in a angry, tired, sweary mess - my dad has gone to do the food shop for me. Grin

RaspberryBunny · 21/01/2019 09:29

The DCs causing chaos when I'd organised all their school stuff ready to go. Just before we have to leave they pipe up with 'where's my book bag?' It was by the f**king front door! Late to school after trying to find everything that was ready to go half an hour earlier!

And my period, it's started a week early, bloody hurts and rather than collapsing on the sofa with a cup of tea and hot water bottle I have to paint the DC's room as new carpets are being fitted later this week. Bollocks to it all! Brew

MardAsSnails · 21/01/2019 09:30

Trying to move getting out of bed after a particularly hard body pump class last night

And realizing I’d put my heel through the hem of a brand new pair of trousers within 30 mins of getting to work, when I’ve got 3 client meetings today.

BruceAndNosh · 21/01/2019 09:31

Coughing.
Endless bloody coughing.
It's made me pull a muscle, my eyes are bloodshot and it's fucked with my pelvic floor

Flowerfae · 21/01/2019 09:31

stepping on a pile of washing near the washing machine to get past DH and it collapsing under my feet so I skidded and stubbed toe Grin

IncyWincyGrownUp · 21/01/2019 09:38

My daughter’s anxiety. I’d like her to have a day where she wakes up and just is, instead of being crushed by her own thoughts.

Onwards.

gentlyscented · 21/01/2019 09:44

Going to make my morning cup of tea to then realise there's no milk because the selfish twats (teenagers) have to fill their cereal bowls to the brim 😤

Dropped dd at school, popped to the co op next door to grab some milk and realise I've forgot my purse 😭

Happy fucking Monday!
