What inconsequential thing is making you grumpy?

I can tell I’m feeling grumpy, I’m getting all overcome by scissor packaging that needs scissors to open and want to declare it’s stupidity to the world. Tell me I’m not alone. What is making you eye roll?

The fact that Chris Rea is still driving home for fucking Christmas.

Where does he live? Mars?

Are there no other bloody Christmas songs shops are allowed to play?

Homebird8 · 09/12/2019 07:52

Actually I’m now eye rolling that the bloody spell crapper has changed its to it’s.

New clothing with small red quality control sticker hidden deep in pocket which has now ruined said (washed) item.

Stickers on stone fruit ( peaches, etc.) that strip the skin when pulled off. I can see it's a peach ya fucking moron.

dementedma · 09/12/2019 08:51

This fucking cough!!!!

smemorata · 09/12/2019 08:54

I only have two Christmas social events planned and looks like I will miss them both due to a bug!

homemadecommunistrussia · 09/12/2019 08:56

The fact that I can't get any Tesco frozen fake bacon what the fuck has happened to it?

TrueFriendsStabYouInTheFront · 09/12/2019 08:56

Nice activities planned for the kids and now dreading them cause every bloody time we do anything, they're horrifically behaved afterwards AngrySad

FergusSingsTheBlues · 09/12/2019 09:02

The realisation that I need to go on a diet.

I'm in a bad mood about this every Monday Grin

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 09/12/2019 09:09

That the wind is too strong to hang the washing out. First dry weekend and I'm still festooning the house with underwear.

HeronLanyon · 09/12/2019 09:10

That my scales seem to be wrong. Have been wrong for several months despite new batteries which I hoped would cure them. Showing around 5 or 6 pounds out - heavier than I am obvs. Very troubling when tech lets us down like this. Grin

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 09/12/2019 09:15

The mountain of sodding dirty washing that only me in the entire house seems to notice needs doing.

BuildBuildings · 09/12/2019 09:18

Also my bloody cough!

CrowleysBentley · 09/12/2019 09:18

Toothache that only happens if I drink hot drinks, curbing my usual many cups of tea a day habit. Stupid cracked filling, and my dentist appointment is in 2 weeks.

Xiaoxiong · 09/12/2019 09:23

I have run out of biscuit tea and I have to drink normal tea until I can get to the shops. I can't even blame anyone else because I was the one who drank it all.

thetardis · 09/12/2019 09:24

the change-my-battery beep from next door's fire alarm. my household declared me nuts, but eventually managed to track it down. high pitched every 40 seconds...

Xiaoxiong · 09/12/2019 09:24

Oh god Crowley my post looks really insensitive after yours!!! Sorry Thanks

thetardis · 09/12/2019 09:25

ah, no worries, they've started hammering/sawing now so i can't hear the ing any more \o/

doublebarrellednurse · 09/12/2019 09:26

People watching videos without headphones in my maternity appt waiting room. There is already a bloody TV on and so it's a clash of two different things mixed with toddlers running about and screaming I'm about ready to scream myself.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 09/12/2019 09:27

Bloody irritating ads on Classic FM - - particularly the extra-loud one that goes, 'OH, WO' A BRILLIANT PHOTO!'
I have to turn the radio off, and will then usually forget to turn it on again.

00100001 · 09/12/2019 09:32

Not me. But DH is now sulking because he doesn't know my DOB.

It's the password for my laptop. He asked the password, I said "my Date of birth. Full"

Silence....

"What's your DOB?"

I said "don't you know?"

"March??"

Yes.

"2nd?"

No.

"3rd?"

No.

"It's a single digit isn't it?"

No.

"I can't remember. Just tell me."

No. You just don't know it, you haven't 'forgotten'

"Fine, when's mine?"

It's 'Day'/'month'/'year'.

So he huffed and stomped off upstairs....has been there for 45 minutes.

Tosser.

HigherFurtherFasterBaby · 09/12/2019 09:34

The amount of snot coming out of my nose. Has snot replaced my entire brain? It feels like it.

myfuckingfreezer · 09/12/2019 11:29

That my freezer (see user name) hates me and no one is responding to my cry for help (thread in chat)

soulrunner · 09/12/2019 13:00

This is super petty- you have been warned. People posting (or even worse, reposting) "comedy"/ slightly risqué elf on a shelf pictures, like the elf watching Barbie pole dancing or any poo related ones. I know in the scheme of things it's utterly inconsequential but it gives me the utter rage.
