Things that can 'ruin' your day *lighthearted*

[longtompot]

Cracking an egg to fry for a breakfast egg sandwich and the yolk breaks

Any small things, that in the scheme of things are nothing, but can put a tiny dampener on your day?

Oh and thinking I’m winning at life by being first up in the house and looking forward to coffee and toast in solitude only to find that there is no bread/milk/butter left as the dc used everything up through the night.

Opening the freezer to find someone bloody kids has accidentally turned off the freezer switch causing all freezer contents to go off and when carry the black bag of said contents to the outside bin the bag splits and leaves a trail of stinking chicken juice all through the hall 🤯

**carrying

Getting woken up, on a Sunday morning, by my neighbour’s barky bloody dogs. Puts me in a foul mood!

Trying to have an afternoon nap on a Sunday, to make up for being woken by aforementioned barky dogs, only to be kept awake by either the dogs barking again, or the adult “children” next door running around the house squealing like toddlers for hours on end, usually accompanied by the dogs yelling.

Can you guess what kind of day I’ve had today...?

Opening the cupboard where the pasta lives, and spaghetti falling out of an open packet all over the floor. Ditto lentils. Ditto rice.

When the cat shits on the floor

Running a bowl of fresh hot water and someone dumps the dirtiest pan in it or worse, runs cold water into it to make a drink.
Ear buds falling out on a run, or worse, the headphone wire gets caught - that pulling on your ears.
A great song comes on the radio and you're about to hear who is the artist, in comes one of the DC and prattles all over it.
Just sit down with my lap tray dinner and a paused program and the doorbell goes.

When the fridge light doesn't come on. For some reason, that makes me feel sad. I have a spare bulb now, in case of emergency

Unexpected visitors ruining my schedule

Wanting to do a job and having to do something else first in order to get it done - especially on computer tasks

Sitting down to eat and find Ive got two knives instead of a knife and fork

Gosh, so many of these have 'ruined' my day too.

I used to have a favourite mug, until it broke, and I've yet to find a replacement that feels the same and holds the same amount of drink. I do have a favourite everyday wine glass, which dh for some reason always picks up, no matter which order I put them in the cupboard. He thinks it's funny, but I do not. I found this glass on a wall, and it was there for about 6 months before I picked it up and cleaned and cleaned it.

I also have cutlery I prefer to use, and not the oddly weighted rounded handled ones.

Those fitted sheets are also a bane. We have quite a deep mattress and none of the sheets seems to fit properly.

The clothing that's attracted to door handles too!

So much mouldy bread/crumpets. We've got a pack of finger rolls in the freezer which I noticed have some mould on the bottom. I just put them back in and thought I'll deal with those another day.

Getting sleeves wet is the worst! As is filling the dishwasher, putting a cup in which I've not realised still has drink in and getting wet feet.

I'm not sure which is worse, finding your tea has gone cold when you come to drink it, or it's all gone🤔

The toilet seat being left up.

Going to make breakfast for ds and also do his packed lunch at the same time, get the butter dish out of the cupboard to discover it’s empty
Why do my family hate me?!

Cracking an egg into a cake mix and finding it was a double-yolker! Such a waste.

Finding that my preferred mug for my first coffee is still in the dishwasher, dirty.

My incredibly needy coffee machine needing new beans or new water or descaled or any one of the many inputs it seems to save up for when I’m using it instead of my husband.

When DH leaves the dishwasher slightly open and I bang my hip on it
When it's a rare dry day but I wear my ugly waterproof instead of my lovely posh snuggly coat
When the masks in my pocket get tangled up in my keys and I feel like I've fumbled to unlock the door forever

Accidentally getting the sleeve of your jumper / dressing gown wet washing up.

In my case, it's finding I've dangled the hem of my dressing gown in the dog's water fountain; and now I've got wet ankles.

When your kitten wakes you up licking your face. Is it 4am when you've got a chance of getting back to sleep or 7am when you need to get up? No, it's bloody 6am when you just need that extra hour of snooze before the alarm goes off

I had a proper growling, foot stamping tantrum earlier because the tin of soup I’d been looking forward to in the cupboard was tomato and not chicken.

I like tomato soup but I wanted chicken god dammit!!

DS2 looked at me like

@thefirstmrsrochester

I’m a short arse who likes clothing with pockets. All the fekking door handles in the sodding house are at pocket height, and I’m forever getting ‘snagged’ and yanked backwards when entering/exiting rooms. Many tears of rage.

Yes. This!

@feemcgee

The toilet seat being left up.

Or being left down but you don't see as it's the middle of the night and you are only going by your phones torch. The shock of the cold lid.

Actually, when both the seat and the lid are left up and the above happens. Cold hard porcelain.

DH has a habit of leaving the sun visor in the car at a 45 degree angle. Every fecking time he gets in my car. So I get in it and nearly take my head off.

I don't know what's worse, him doing it or me never remembering that he does............

Stepping in a tiny puddle of water in socked feet in the bathroom 🤬

@BogRollBOGOF

When your dippy boiled egg is not dippy.

Exactly this. Heartened to see the first few responses focussing on eggs. It’s so annoying when they go wrong!

DH has just walked in with a cup of coffee in one of MY new mugs! I don't drink coffee, I treated myself to some Cornishware 10oz mugs, just for my hot chocolate.......if I decide to LTB over this, those mugs are definitely coming with me. Git.
