I am just finding myself just wanting to tell people to fuck off

JackieweaverhasALLtheauthority · 09/02/2021 21:42

I don't ...obviously but in my head...." just fuck off"

For reasons that may have just made me roll my eyes normally

I am so fucking NARKY.

Is it just me or is everybody on the verge of stabbing people?

Yes! I have had enough of people.

Downton57 · 09/02/2021 21:54

Ditto. So crabby. But is it surprising in the circumstances? I'm just glad I haven't completely lost it with anyone. Yet.

mum2jakie · 09/02/2021 21:56

Me too. Think it's an age thing - I am increasingly intolerant towards idiots!

Wellysock · 09/02/2021 21:58

Yes, I can't be arsed with anyone. People talk/phone/text and I have nothing that I want to say to them, and I couldn't give a hoot about what they're telling me 90% of the time. Very narky here too!

mnahmnah · 09/02/2021 21:59

I woke up like this today. Bad day for a skip truck to block the end of my road when I needed to drop the DC off. The horn use was cathartic Grin

Popsy321 · 09/02/2021 22:00

Ditto. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not on the BBC news pretty soon. I'm close to absolutely letting rip. Everyone is getting on my last nerve and when I'm alone in the car, I go into a full on rant, detailing all the ways in which I loathe various people. I need new and more obscene swear words right now, more than ever before.

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 09/02/2021 22:02

No, I'm actually quite pleased to see people when out and about, so maybe less narky than usual. Unless they spend too long perusing the minced beef in Waitrose,bin which case, yes I could get a bit stabby Wink

mnahmnah · 09/02/2021 22:02

I’m also really having to bite my tongue in staff meetings to avoid being labelled the ranty one even more than I usually am. Mute my mic.

NoSuchThingAsTooMuch · 09/02/2021 22:05

People have always been annoying, in general.

But it does seem like we've all forgotten how to get along together in a larger sense, and that's worrying. I don't know how to "people" sometimes. Or it just plain tires me out.

Downton57 · 09/02/2021 22:05

Scottish insults are good for growling at annoying people: try bawbag, bampot, rocket, wassock, roaster, tube.

7Days · 09/02/2021 22:06

God, sorry, I am one of those mince ditherers from the supermarket.
It's like being a time traveller from Victorian times seeing a supermarket for the first time - it just strikes me as being so odd
Not that I'm.at home slaughtering my own meat since lockdown

RJnomore1 · 09/02/2021 22:07

It’s lockdown

I’ve lost all veneer of civilisation

God no, none of them are even close to strong enough.
iklboo · 09/02/2021 22:07

I channel my inner Fleabag - internal narrative is so cathartic.

funtimefrank · 09/02/2021 22:08

I have cried every day at work since Christmas (in private) because I hate everyone and everything.

I am planning on seeing how I can subtly not turn up to any group teams meetings - not the important or client ones but the social ones because I loathe everyone and everything they say. They are all just awful (I usually love my team but I am fed up of taking in their shite but literally no one at all giving a reciprocal shite about me because I am meant to be senior enough not to have feelings).

mnahmnah · 09/02/2021 22:09

In the absence of proper therapy, or primal screaming without scaring the neighbours, I have found listening to Transvision Vamp ‘I don’t care’ very loudly helps Smile

AuntieDolly · 09/02/2021 22:10

I'm wondering what I will be like when we can mix. I have visions of inviting friends over, then telling them to clear off an hour later. I get peopled out very quickly as it is.

PenOrPencil · 09/02/2021 22:11

Yup, that’s me. I am in such a mood today, inwardly (I hope) rolling my eyes and shouting very bad swear words in my head. It doesn’t help that I am surrounded by incompetent fools at work.

@mnahmnah the kaiser chiefs " every day i love you less and less" is my fuck right off song, played at full blast

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 09/02/2021 22:13

See, now I feel guilty 7Days. I will endeavour to be less stabby in the meat aisle Flowers

mnahmnah · 09/02/2021 22:14

@JackieweaverhasALLtheauthority

Good call. Music always works. Either getting the rage out or cheering you up. I will also add Albania Morrisette’s ‘you oughta know’ to the rage expulsion list

mnahmnah · 09/02/2021 22:14

Albania?! Alanis!!

Ohhgreat · 09/02/2021 22:15

God yes - it genuinely worries me that I will have to stop the eye rolls and swearing at my computer when we go back to the office, I'm not sure i'll be able to at all!!

coronafiona · 09/02/2021 22:18

No. I'm pleased to see people. Just not the people I live with; now they make me narky!

QueenOfTheDoubleWide · 09/02/2021 22:18

I am the same so have a new strategy in work. When someone really irritates me I'll end the phone call with a cheery "Have a good day" in the knowledge that in that phrase the word Dickhead at the end is silent Grin
