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

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?

Oh the Teams meetings and the talking over each other. Does my head in.

@iklboo

I channel my inner Fleabag - internal narrative is so cathartic.
Yes! I’ve found wearing a mask my internal green light to think why I need to, what ever that may be and process it before smiling fuck you/fuck off as it secretly reaches my eyes...
bellagogosdead · 09/02/2021 22:21

'Killing in the name' is prrfect for this.

But actually I am naturally quite ranty and moany and it does help short term. Long term I find it corrosive and have trained myself to be positive and nice to people for my own mental health.
Wow what a straight.Hmm

Yesterday I had a thundercloud over my head for the entire day. Luckily before I imploded or took it out on our household I spotted some local teens smashing a water balloon we had been freezing on our front lawn.

I chased them down, gave them all a slightly sweary bollocking (lots of waving of arms and pointing dramatically) then marched one back up here to pick up every single bit of balloon and take it to our wheelie bin.

It was extremely cathartic. And, between us, I didn't actually give a shit about the balloonSmile

@CoffeeAndEnnui

That’s brilliant! Grin

Luffsmypup · 09/02/2021 22:32

I am on my very last nerve with everyone, and a few times lately I have had to stop myself answering threads on here, because at the moment I have no good advice to give other than “tell him/her/them/it to Fuck off!!, I am also grinding my teeth in silent rage so much I’m going to grind my back teeth smooth. The world still thinks I’m a kind, smiley person though.Wink

Genial dog walkers are doing my head in. Misery guts that I am, I just want to walk my dog in peace and don't want to engage in chit chat about your Fido. My dog is equally anti social and doesn't want to sniff Fido's bum.

Yes had to stand in the queue at the supermarket today whilst a couple tried to get a free packet of teabags via some app on their phone. Checkout assistant didn't know what to do , and then had to do it twice as both of the couple went through separately with their bloody free teabags. I just wanted to fucking scream at them that I did not appreciate having to stand in the queue an extra ten minutes for their bloody freebie.

CoffeeAndEnnui · 09/02/2021 22:41

@LastDuchessFerrara chummy fucking dog walkers are driving me to distraction too. A particularly tiresome one leaps out of his cottage whenever I pass by with the dog, drags his yappy creature after him (it never looks happy to be out) and stalks us around the field murmuring at me.

(He's not lonely, he has family, he's just a tedious twat)

ssd · 09/02/2021 22:46

@JackieweaverhasALLtheauthority I agree

But I was like this before covid....

Oversize · 09/02/2021 22:47

I nearly lost it in a supermarket in a different town today. The town is the main one in a county that had one of the highest covid infection rates in the country. I live a county away but have to travel for work. The STATE on the people in the supermarket. Not A Scooby what 2 metres means. No wonder their infection rates were so high. By the time I was on my way out of the shop, I was ready to invest in a sharp pointy stabbing stick.

indemMUND · 09/02/2021 22:49

Can I bring you guys the good word of Rammstein? Loud enough to blot out all the bullshit with riffs that make you feel like you can walk through concrete walls. It's shouty and German. Gets all the rage out while you walk with earphones in so you don't have to engage with anyone. My personal coping mechanism Grin

IrishCharm · 09/02/2021 23:27

@JackieweaverhasALLtheauthority I hear ya! Unfortunately I then ventured into MN and strangely it got worse! Hmm Grin

itwillbehormones · 10/02/2021 00:16

@funtimefrank oh that's sad, can you move job?

Metheven · 10/02/2021 00:24

I work in a supermarket, that is pretty much my default setting.

Onlineshopperforever · 10/02/2021 00:27

One of my favourite things about mask wearing in public is it makes it easier to mutter profanities under my breath at random members of the public who annoy me.

I pretty much have permanent murderous rage about now. I need to leave the house more but every time I do, I despair at how many people there are.

NiceGerbil · 10/02/2021 00:27

I miss people- seeing them in real life.

I suspect the current circumstances are understandably making us more isolated and less tolerant. That's not a good thing.

Fucking covid.

Stinkywizzleteets · 10/02/2021 00:56

I find it ironic that in a time when humans are desperate to see other humans and hang out and be close to others we all just want everyone to fuck off.

It seems to be society wide so it’s not just you OP.

TheUnquestionedAnswer · 10/02/2021 01:08

I tell myself to fuck off about 20 times a day. There is no one else. I'm also very grunty and sweary under my mask when I am out, but not in an audible way.

MamaTookMyEyebrows · 10/02/2021 01:15

This is me today. Could barely bring myself to reply to any messages etc. Just couldn’t face it.

I don’t know that I’m so much narky as wanting to crawl into bed and stay there. However I have a 6 year old, a 3 year old and a full time job (from home) so no option but to keep on plodding.

grassisjeweled · 10/02/2021 01:17

Same here. I'm past giving a shit. I've started complaining about everything, got myself quite a few refunds.

Also, I have zero motivation at work. I'm just resigned to it all

grassisjeweled · 10/02/2021 01:20

I argued with a shop worker in Walmart last week. She tried to tell me where to put my pears in the self service check out. What da fuck? Grin

Redshoeblueshoe · 10/02/2021 01:37

I wrote a really long answer and decided that actually I should tell people to fuck off, or just block them for a while
