Selfies
People who give their pets middle names
Christmas socks/jumpers/pyjamas/eve box wankery
Tory propaganda fake posts
The shitey fucking constant cold rain
Commuters having fucking loud phone conversations near me.

That's better. Sorry. Feel free to add.

How long have you got OP?😀

People who don't realise what indicators on cars are for.
Too bright headlights especially in the crap weather we have had lately. It's bad enough we have gale force winds and belting rain I don't need blinding too asshole.
Even worse the idiots that think putting full beam back on before they are passed you is the way to drive😠

My ds's GP dying at the weekend. I still come downstairs and say "Morning Xxx" and then realise.😞
The clutter in my house!
Bloody election/Brexit crap. Sick to the back teeth of all of them. Not one to mend the other. Is there a "I don't want to vote for any of you absolutely self absorbed, lying, gibbering tossers." box to tick?
My local health Centre who have managed to cock up.nearly everything I needed/booked in the last 2 months.

My washing machine which has decided not to spin today!

I am currently feeling (possibly irrationally) irritated by Avon. I've just moved to a new area and one of someone local has now put an Avon brochure through my door twice. It's actually several brochures and assorted other paperwork in a plastic bag with a note asking me to leave it out for collection in a week's time. So basically someone has shoved something I don't want through my letterbox and expects me to find somewhere to keep it safe in my house for a week and remember to leave it out on a specific day. As if I don't have enough stuff to take care of and remember already.

I know I could either throw it away or leave a note explaining I don't want another but I don't want to get a reputation as 'that' neighbour although this is probably inevitable eventually

Each time it has been pushed through my letter box I have actually been in the house (and clearly visible when she walked past the window) so surely she could have knocked to ask if was interested.

Thestrangestthing · 11/12/2019 12:37

Telling myself I'm going to lose the stone I put on 2 years ago. I've been telling myself I would lose it for 2 years, I'm so sick of being a failure everyday.
DS 11 crying every morning because he doesn't want to go to school for the most ridiculous things.
Looking for something to wear to the many nights out we have over the next 2 weeks and not really wanting to go to any of them.

Thestrangestthing · 11/12/2019 12:38

@wheresmymouseorgan

Bin it and tell them you binned it if they chapped the door.

MidnightCircus · 11/12/2019 12:41

Simple list for me:
People (why are they so much more annoying at this time of year?).
Politics (I'm sick of hearing about it).
Weather (either rain or don't, this bloody constant drizzle can do one).
Insomnia.
Christmas.
Work (just constant strife the whole year, one thing after another).

wheresmymouseorgan · 11/12/2019 12:46

@Thestrangestthing

The only thing stopping me from binning it is that we're now in a village location and trying to fit in (not sure how long this will last!). I don't want to find that the Avon lady is the local gossip and this will have me whispered about for the next 20 years. Which just makes me even more irritated as I don't usually give a crap what people say.

InOtterNews · 11/12/2019 12:54

This week 2 of my 3 cats.

The first who wait until just as I've entered a deep sleep and then will pat my face and chirrup to be let out.

The second who has just had month of ulcerated cornea (and now half-blind) who has this week developed a urinary tract infection (and cost me even more money) by becoming even more vocal in the middle of the night (pain-related so I'm ok with this) but then has copied the other cat by scratching carpets/meowing outside my door to be let out.

Thanks to these two buggers I've had about 3 hours of sleep. I do love them - just not in the middle of the night.

MrsSpenserGregson · 11/12/2019 12:55

The rain and gloom. Yes I know it's December but when I was a child, Decembers were properly cold and frosty, with actual daylight between 8am and 3pm.

The election / politicians / Brexit. Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

The in-laws. Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh/

Bastarding arthritis. Not helped by the damp weather.

People who decide to cross the road right behind my car when I'm already reversing. Do they have a death wish?

slipperywhensparticus · 11/12/2019 13:01

My cats! Long story short I bought two about a week apart they are brothers they got on ok ish then the woman who had bought another one of the brothers tried giving him away for free on Facebook because she didnt want him anymore (he wasnt even six months old) I had him they get on ok usually but he is the odd one out and for the last THREE DAYS they have gone after him making him squeal and he got hurt this morning honestly I could wack there furry fucking heads together

TheReef · 11/12/2019 13:32

Asda drives me fucking batshit (I only go in for the bits I can't get from Aldi). Parking spaces are too small, isles are too small, the customers piss me off with their dawdling and looking a stuff (how very dare they), the bloody tills and staff who insist if you're ready for Christmas yet - just fuck the fuck off!

thesuninsagittarius · 11/12/2019 15:11

Agree with most PPs.
Politics
Boris 'startled pig in a hay bale' Johnson saying 'get Brexit done' like some battery operated horrible toy.
People everywhere when I just want to buy a loaf of bread.(How dare they be out at the same time as me?)
Christmas jumpers/jumpers day/jumpers for dogs-STOP IT
Wanky Christmas adverts 'show them you care..' (by getting into debt)
Christmas existential anxiety (do people love me? am I having a good time?)
My hip joints ( stiff and painful)
Ulcerative Colitis
Universal Credit
Depression

Justmuddlingalong · 11/12/2019 15:16

Trying to shell boiled eggs. Back in the day it seemed so much easier. Takes longer to peel the fuckers than it does to eat em. 😠

Pinkshoelace · 11/12/2019 15:44

October me is really getting on my tits at the moment.

I decided I was going to make my own Christmas decorations like a smug twat. Now it's December and December me is left looking ruefully at a pile of unused craft supplies I haven't had time for.

I don't know why October me thought it was a good idea to put this much pressure on December me.

frugalkitty · 11/12/2019 15:51

Pinkshoelace me too!!! My mum and my MIL may not be getting handmade gifts after all.....

Thanks to the OP's first post I'm now sat here wondering what middle names I could have given my two cats Grin

tinkywinky2 · 11/12/2019 15:58

Entitled adults (my sister) who thinks she's the only woman to ever be pregnant!

My dd expecting me to pick/drop her at work at the drop of a hat.

Idiots parking like idiots on the school run. ( god I'd hate to live near a school)

Winter.

Dog

Cat

Kids

I just want to sleep 😫

schnubbins · 11/12/2019 16:04

Smartphones and everything to do with them

TheNameGames · 11/12/2019 16:05

The tiger that came to fucking tea advert on Channel 4. Yes, we get it Channel 4, we now know it's being shown on Christmas eve, so you can stop it now. Bloody Robbie Williams warbling every ad break.

Mrsfrumble · 11/12/2019 16:08

The fact that, when I’m home during the day I take in at least 3/4 parcels a day for various neighbours, and today when I had the temerity to be out when a parcel arrived for ME, there was no bugger around to intercept it! Now I have to go and a collect it from Tufnell Sodding Park, which is bloody miles away! (Okay, 1.6 miles away, but I had better things to do tomorrow and it will probably be raining). Where’s the justice??

Adverts referring to “last minute Christmas shopping”. I haven’t started yet!

SpiderCharlotte · 11/12/2019 16:09

Not being able to sleep
My hair not growing quick enough
Fucking politics. All of it
Being cold
People parking over two parking spaces because they can't park their stupid monster-sized cars properly
Anyone who calls an invitation an invite or a drawer a draw.

Aozora13 · 11/12/2019 16:12

Being sick (stupid flu)
Baby being sick (stupid chest infection or too many fags not sure)
Delivery drivers who whisper at the door then immediately run away before you can answer
Chuggers who hammer and pound the door waking up the baby
The election
Brexit
Weather

EpcotForever · 11/12/2019 16:16
  • Delivery drivers driving over my grass. We have a in and out gravel drive, yet the bastards think it's ok to turn around in the middle (grass) rather than drive back towards the gate in a full circle!
  • lib Dems posting leaflets through my letterbox EVERY DAY. Via royal mail or a random.
-The wind blowing my recycling everywhere. -Rain at school pick up/drop off and dry for the rest of the day.
IHaveBrilloHair · 11/12/2019 16:17

My cats have middle names, I use them when they are misbehaving,
"Jemima Silverstone, give the toy back"
"Eponine Spa, get off the kitchen bench"
"Matilda Monza, stop trying to drink my cup of tea"
Furry wee shites take no notice Grin

AnyoldAnna · 11/12/2019 16:18

Chest infection (just want it to go)
DD (love her lots, but my god she’s challenging at the moment)
Like everyone else, this sodding election
In-laws

EpcotForever · 11/12/2019 16:18

@Aozora13 hopefully the baby isn't having too many fags!

darkriver19886 · 11/12/2019 16:19

The general miserableness at this time of year.
