I bought tinned sweet corn from Asda rather than Tesco or aldi, I always buy the cheapest but this one is disgusting and flavourless. I bought 3 tins of it too [angry]

Nitpickers at work. Leading a massive global project and some arse picked a hole in THE most minor thing.

My teen leaving her half-emptied suitcase open in the middle of the sitting room floor. She got back from holiday five days' ago.

And yes, she has been asked every day to remove it and take it upstairs to where it lives. And every day she says she will and hasn't!

Went to get my nails done and forgot cash. They don't take card

Splann · 14/09/2021 16:18

The cat flap has stopped working and all day and night for the last couple of days I’ve been hearing a muffled thump thump thump from the cat trying to get out. The window right next to the bloody thing is left open most of the time which the cat can use perfectly well

Snarky e-mail from someone I work with about the fact that I e-mailed him a document that he needs in hard copy (just a black and white A4 page of writing). Apparently 'everyone' knows he doesn't have a printer so apparently, I will need to drive to his home to take him a copy (and he has cc'd lots of people in the company when he tells me this- implying that I am incompetent in having e-mailed it to him). We have all been working from home for over a year now, printing this document is specifically part of his job (just as sending it to him by e-mail is mine). He is well off and lives in a large house, so could easily afford a printer and has plenty of room for one.

Actually, this has more than mildly annoyed me- the man is an arse

I can't stand arseholes like that at work, I absolutely refuse to entertain the idea of babying them and tell them so. Your manager should step in on your behalf and tell the guy or his manager to get a printer already.

My dh announcing at 14 30 that his meeting had finished and he was done for the day only to decide to carry on working anyway. He's supposed to have half days this week as I've just had surgery and can't do anything. I was hoping we'd get on top of the house work. He's self-employed so if he doesn't work he doesn't paid and he's used this as his justification.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 14/09/2021 16:42

I didn't need to get up for the school run this morning, so I turned off my alarm. Alarm was set for 7.07 am, I woke up naturally at 7.10 am. I was looking forward to that lie in.

iwannascream · 14/09/2021 16:43

My large chest freezer decided to stop working 24 hrs after i'd filled it with lots and lots of lovely food, that has had to be thrown into the bin 20 mins before the bin men came....I've got to admit I cried just a little at the amount that was wasted, and the cost.....oh the cost

SalsaLove · 14/09/2021 16:44

A new colleague flatly refusing to help me with questions about the job. I’m now intimidated to ask but she’s the one my manager keeps telling me to ask.

I have the almost opposite problem. I need to sign and post something so I suggested it be emailed I’ll print it and post it. But nope it’s already gone in thr mail for today. So sitting in a tray in thr office, easily retrieved but nope apparently it’s done. When it finally arrives 3 days later it’s been posted 2nd class! I got it back in thr post as fast as I could but it’s taken 4 maybe 5 days when it could have taken 2! Such a needless waste of time!

DH put my trainers in the dryer and they're destroyed

DebbieHarrysCheekbones · 14/09/2021 16:51

Having to change my username yet again thanks to someone with too much time on their hands and a paranoia complex

CheshireChat · 14/09/2021 17:04

Went for an eye test yesterday so felt rubbish all day.

Had bloods taken today so felt rubbish all day and have a sore, swollen arm.

Recovery after Covid is taking forever so feeling rubbish all the time and utterly fed up with everything.

TiredButDancing · 14/09/2021 17:22

Had to return yet ANOTHER set of school trousers today because none of the local stores will sell any that aren't skinny or slim fit. DS is a perfectly normal sized child, in proportion etc but he doesn't like his clothes to be snug.

The poor woman at M&S, just making polite conversation said, "oh, so these weren't quite right then" and I wanted to rip her head off. I'm so so tired of the shittiness of children's clothing. Anything for DD has to be tight because apparently girls can only wear clothes that are tight or expose their stomachs. And poor DS with his sensory issues can't even wear normal school trousers even after he's worked really hard to lose weight. He is exactly a size 11-12 based on M&S's measurements. He just doesn't want trousers that hug his bloody bum.

In chronological order:

Made breakfast, dropped the unwrapped butter on the floor
Was trailed round Waitrose by the security guard
One teacher and my child’s key worker have left. It’s a tiny SEND school so it would have been good to be told or my child to have been warned.
It rained every time I wanted to get on with stuff outside.
My MOT was £100 more expensive than I had estimated.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 14/09/2021 18:22

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.

Anordinarymum · 14/09/2021 18:23

Ate a sandwich, the mayo squashed out everywhere and they didn't give me a napkin......................

GoWalkabout · 14/09/2021 18:24

I thought my days of last minute requests for costumes /ingredients for school were over now both dc in sixth form, but no apparently dd is cooking in year 12 enrichment tomorrow (news to her too) and needs a list of ingredients. Yes we live within easy reach of shops, and she can sort it herself, but still a bit late notice!

Dilbertian · 14/09/2021 18:24

Apostrophes. No, they do not indicate a plural. Yes, I know they indicate that a letter has been omitted, but that letter is not the e in dresses.

waybill · 14/09/2021 18:26

I am in the middle of a menopausal hot flush right now. Rather annoying as I am also in the middle of cooking dinner in a hot kitchen.

Oh this is a nightmare I have lived through. I kept going back to my manager and saying "Kerry couldn't answer this..." but that was when I was young and unprofessional.

TheShadoutCrepes · 14/09/2021 18:27

Spinning wheel of doom on every single item of NHS IT I attempted to use today, eating away at precious clinical time.

Shodan · 14/09/2021 18:28

Dropped some kind of foodstuff on my newly-washed slippers.

And in Morrison's car park, I very kindly reversed back into my space, from which I was more than half-emerged, to allow a car through in front of me and they didn't wave a thank you!! Not even a nod of acknowledgement!

Orgasmagorical · 14/09/2021 18:36

Mildly annoyed me? The title of this thread but please don't take it personally, OP, I'm glad you started it

In other news I'm fucking raging and am going to give you all the pleasure of reading my woes.

Far TMI on a phone call - I really don't need to know the ins and outs of every little fucking tiny shitting cunting bastarding fuckwit detail of every tiny little fucking bla bla non event in your day. And what's even more annoying is the guilt I feel for thinking that. I am a bad person. Only the edited version was noted for the file, I'd have got RSI if I'd put the full version.

Somebody put a thing on Twitter to 'make you all smile' - I ended up crying. Somewhere over the Rainbow, every shitting time

Some arsehole at work thinking they're clever but they're just an arsehole. I may have hinted this and they've gone slightly quiet - result

The cut on my hand bleeds every time I wash and dry my hands. My clean towels are no longer clean.

The thread about CFery. My ex fucking neighbour - utter cheeky fucking cunt but I can't tell the story as it's too outing not that anybody would know who TF I am but I'm not risking it.

My ex - just because no rant would be complete without the fucking arsehole getting a mention.

Talking of whom, Edinburgh Rape Crisis.

And breathe

As you were ...

Timewasters! I'm clearing my dad's house and put loads on the local Freecycle sites.

Someone asks for it, I say yes it's available, when would you like to collect, then......nothing!! Never hear from them again.

Then there's the ones who message a day and time ..... and don't turn up. Message if they still want the item, no reply!

Had two today. Bastards!!
