Petty Pandemic Whinges. Bring your trivial traumas here and I promise I won’t judge.

[LunaNorth]

Before I start, I know that some fucking awful things are happening to people around the world as a result of Covid19. I’ve had to endure some real trauma myself, so I don’t take it lightly.

But sometimes I think a space to rant and stamp our feet about the petty inconveniences would be very cathartic. So here it is.

I’ll start.

Today my fucking face mask ripped my favourite earring out of my ear when I removed it, and it broke.

My much-loved yoga class, which was the best hour of my week, is permanently closed.

If anyone else has petty whinges that they don’t feel happy to say out loud in the real world, please feel free...

@ravensoaponarope that is dreadful. The support service should absolutely have found a way for your support worker to get to you. I’m disgusted by how many vital services have been let slide due to Covid. My goddaughter’s CAHMS appointments have all been cancelled, they won’t even do them on Zoom.

Glumy maybe you need your own "controversial rant" thread?

@AgentCooper we've had nothing from DS EHCP, the SALT tried to do an assessment (and she isn't even on his EHCP) via video link to the classroom but he got sent home that day at lunchtime. Gah.

Mine is petty

About 2 weeks before covid I got an attic workshop (for my sewing/design) finished ready to add carpet and curtains (to hide the open rafters)

The Dd and her bf moved in and my fabulous attic was taken over by them working in it!

It was emergency carpeted with bad carpet tiles in a rush and the curtains were rushed too
My cutting table shoved into a corner and multiple techy things and cables installed along with a network cable and a green screen

I have a third of the space I anticipated and they like 'working from my home' and wanna stay!!

And they are both veggie and DH and I eat loads of meat so it's more cooking and washing up and shopping (even when they do it)

Ha @KatyMac I have a sewing attic, they can like it all they want, it's yours!

But where would they work from then? My lounge? I think that would be worse

So petty as I'm saying you have to work there while thinking I don't want you to work there

My 50th was shit (April)

Same.

I’m leaving my job soon and can’t say goodbye to everyone properly.

@KatyMac have they moved in with you permanently?

Yes; well until they can relaunch their careers post covid.....so this is it!

I thought the best thing about lockdown was that if DS wasn’t in school then he couldn’t get expelled. He managed it anyway. 🤬

@BlackAmericanoNoSugar
Lol
My son was a bit like that
He broke a boys arm at school
How he didn’t get expelled, I’ll never know

@DrMadelineMaxwell
That’s what I do for my 12 family
A night at the pantomime
That’s really shit
I bet ours is the same.

It's a really fun evening out. So yes, it is shit @Dowser. You've got it right there.
