What insignificant thing is pissing you off today?

(And for balance, what has disproportionately cheered you up?)

Pissing me off: For me it is companies who don’t reply to their stupid web forms, then make you submit another, new, web form and get another, new, reference, just to chase up the first one.

Cheering me up: I am greatly enjoying relistening to A Walk In The Woods on my commute. Even at stupid early o’clock I am chuckling out loud.

A nettle sting across my left hand.

Trying to swap my son from DLA to PIP. Awful.

Frith2013 · 20/08/2019 12:10

Cheering me up- I’m going to do a roast for tea followed by individual lemon puddings with custard.

ChristineTime · 20/08/2019 12:13

Pissing me off: It keeps going warm/sunny then cold/cloudy so I can't make up my mind whether to keep the door open or not and I never feelt quite temperate. Grr.

Cheering me up: My bedroom has just finished being plastered and will soon be ready for new coving and then painting. I have an onion bhaji in the oven for my dinner.

WarmSausageTea · 20/08/2019 12:16

Pissed me off; the huge queue in Greggs and the subsequent lack of bacon. A grim train toilet - and not even at the first stop, it clearly hasn’t been cleaned for a while. (Thinking about it, these aren’t insignificant, and I ANBU to be a little bit pissed off. Unlike the toilet floor, seat and walls, which are pissed on.)

Cheered me up; cheerful train conductors.

That I can't choose a wood paint shade for my garden gates. I've been to B&Q and left in a huff.

ssd · 20/08/2019 12:17

The weather. I've got tons of washing.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 20/08/2019 12:18

Cheering me up, the excuse to peruse Pinterest for colour ideas.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 20/08/2019 12:18

I’ve lost my best coffee mug!
It’s somewhere in either the living room or the kitchen. I used it yesterday morning, there’s only me add who’s 22 and the cat. I’ve had to have my coffee in an inferior mug this morning.
The cat is not being helpful!
To cheer me up I have a salted caramel yogurt that I picked up in Lidl yesterday to try. I’m hoping it’s as delicious as it looks.

ShirleyPhallus · 20/08/2019 12:19

I’m in web form hell too

Somehow, DLVA have got 2 of me on their system so I cannot change address online or on the phone, I have to post back a form

When I got my car I’d didnt get the registration log book thing and rather than sorting it out straight away I’m 5 years down the line and stressing about filling in more forms and how I have to send them back with a cheque expect I don’t have a chequebook...

I’m 6 months in to a new job, pregnant and buying a new house and yet the thing causing most stress is these driving documents!!

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 20/08/2019 12:20

And DD not add!
I blame the fact my coffee didn’t work due to aforementioned inferior coffee mug.

haverhill · 20/08/2019 12:20

I feel queasy and bloated, but also ravenous (not pregnant!).

DH is doing a huge tidy-up and revamp of DS’s room.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 20/08/2019 12:21

I'll be round for tea at 6, Frith

Followed by a pre-bedtime snack at Christine's

Pissed off that the attachment from amazon with a qr code to return something won't open despite me ringing them repeatedly.

Happy because the weather is a bit better and my washing is out.

Legomadx2 · 20/08/2019 12:29

Pissing me off: ringing the car finance company to pay a bit of my loan off and realising I owe more than I thought.

Cheering me up: the Maryland cookies I've just shoved in my mouth

Rockbird · 20/08/2019 12:33

Pissed off because I got a text saying my ancestry results were up but there's nothing there when I follow the link to the website (via every known device and browser I should add).

Happy because no one has nagged me for the last five minutes. It won't last...

dirtyfries · 20/08/2019 12:51

Pissing me off: all 7 of my colleagues are participating in a coughing competition today. Can't help but be annoyed when 3 of them are due to constant vape breaks and 1 has been told by the GP not to eat dairy as it's triggering his asthma. I've just watched him demolish 3 muller corners...

Cheering me up: I'll be out of the office all day tomorrow seeing my loveliest customers Grin

HumphreyCobblers · 20/08/2019 12:52

I am stressed because the antibiotics I am taking for my Lyme disease are making me feel rubbish. But hey at least hopefully no Lyme disease!

My DS who has severe speech delay has made massive progress in the last few weeks and has spent all morning pointing things out to me. "Look a zebra crossing! Look a car wash! Look it's a garage!" This is absolutely amazing Grin

youarenotkiddingme · 20/08/2019 12:54

Pissing me off: the fact that I have a million and 1 things to do but seem to have developed painful acid reflux.

Cheering me up: the fact I have a million and 1 things to do is because we go away tomorrow for a week.

DreamingofSunshine · 20/08/2019 12:59

Pissed off by the inconsiderate driver on my road. The parking area between two yellow lines is big enough for two small cars if both park right up to the lines. Some pillock parked in the middle of it, in a fiesta, so no one else can park.

managedmis · 20/08/2019 13:00

I was searching for something to wear today that was office and hot weather suitable but only remembered it once I'd worn something else.

writersbeenblocked · 20/08/2019 13:04

Pissing me off: I don't know, I just feel pissed off!

Cheering me up: the prospect of possibly getting myself a little treat when doing the food shopping later

lolaflores · 20/08/2019 13:08

Meg Matthew's Menopause feel good range at Tescos. Just really annoyed me, pushing natural ingredients snake oik bullshit and coining ut for some brand or other.and it was all pink. Cos that's all women respond to. Wish I'd rammed it with my trolley now..

BigusBumus · 20/08/2019 13:12

Pissing me off: The fact i just ate a bag of Cheesy Bites at the McDonalds drive-thru i took my 17 year old boy to on his lunch break. I am on a diet and i am a fat twat.

Pleased me: My next door neighbour has a new puppy and ive just been round for puppy cuddles. Shes a Finnish Spitz and looks like a tiny fox. 😍

We got back from holiday a few days ago to discover our DD's suitcase had been lost. We reported it and Fly Be can't find it. They are trying to tell us we took the following route - Moscow, Milan, Birmingham. The last 2 are true but the first was an internal flight within Italy and we went no where near Moscow (and even if we had changing in Milan would have been insane!) So they are searching Moscow for DD's suitcase - I somehow doubt it will do them any good (I didn't even know Flybe flew from Moscow)

Cheering me up - The sun is shining, DD made me lunch without being asked and my friend who we've not seen for nearly 3 years is coming over from New Zealand next week to see us

poppym12 · 20/08/2019 13:18

Polystyrene packaging. It needs to be broken up to go into the bin. It's very windy outside. I'm wearing black jersey trousers. Not my best look.

Cheered up by said black jersey trousers fitting me well (have been calorie counting since May).
