The more minor the better!

Mine is: the past tense of text is texted, not text. As in, “I text my mate and he was so happy”.

Makes my teeth itch.

Over to you.

I had this discussion the other day and they kept saying that when you say "I texted Sam earlier" said it sounds stupid saying that😅🤦🏽‍♀️ but that's what it is!!

One of my colleagues used the word "blurb" so many times in a conversation today that I began to despise it and it sounded wrong.
The weather is appalling.

My sky box stopped recording my classic corrie episodes, I’m so far behind I’ve only just realised and I’m months behind.

I’m gutted I tell you, gutted 😭😱

We have waited since January for the landlord to fix our roof and the hole in our kitchen..
Third attempt at a roofer coming and he came Wednesday and did half the job. Was back Thursday he said. Still waiting.. Dh rang him. After school he said.
When? When the dc have frigging left school!!

I've bought tins with no ring pull and the sodding tin 'opener' despises me

I'm crouchy AF today due to a never ending period and I've eaten all my white chocolate orange (I can't eat milk or dark chocolate but that's another rant entirely!)

The interview I prepared for and broke my neck to get turned out to be twats. I’m hoping because something better is coming, because my manager is a lazy nightmare.

Picture the scene:

Someone posts on Facebook 'Why are people like that?' or some such nebulous question. Answers come back as 'you OK hun?'

I'm not sure if the fishing for lots of 'are you OK' on Facebook or the use of 'hun' annoys me more.

Having to turn what seems like every item of washing the right way out. See also dishes that don't fit properly in the dish rack.

My DH is behaving like a right twat

Absolutely sick to the back teeth of selfish people
🤬

Poundland

4 cashier tills- only 2 being manned (or womanned as it happens)

3 self services tills- one out of order

Queue about 25 people long.

I get to the top, go to the self service, put my 3 things through - 2 wooden letters and a plastic bowl- press finish and it says I need approval. I wait, look around, there is no one around, no staff available other than the two women serving the long queue of people. So I have to leave my stuff and walk out.

My rant is that the twatting arsing project I am working on is peppered with dickheads arguing over semantics.

I've spent 5 weeks being peace keeper, negotiator, and latterly dictator trying to get this over the bloody line.

If anyone from the United Nations is reading, got any jobs going looking??

Are plastic bowls an over 18 item?

Our business partner has decided nothing anyone else does us good enough and suddenly thinks he's the boss.

Interviewers who say they'll get back to you by the end of the day and then leave you hanging over the weekend ... (currently in this situation with my dh, he really wanted it and it looks like he probably hasn't got it, but they havent put us out of our misery).

I fucking HATE self service check out machines. I absolutely fucking hate them with a passion. You stand around like some cunt waiting for a member of staff to approve your alcohol, or clear the machine when it doesn't register that it IS IN THE FUCKING BAGGING AREA or you have to look through the index trying to choose between a new potato or mashed potato or a salad potato or a sweet potato when all you're trying to buy is a fucking jacket spud. FUCKING HATE THEM!!!!!

Shit that felt good!

That is a great fucking rant.I feel exactly the same about those self checkout fuckers!

notexactlyoptimistic I am so with you! The air often turns blue when I have to use one of the bastard things! No it’s not an effing unexpected item!!

I trashed my kitchen by upending everything and emptying the ridiculously plentiful contents of my handbag all over the side to find my lost keys. Which were hanging in the correct place where I had put them not 10 minutes earlier.

My rant is that every effing driver on the sodding Cornish roads at the moment is without doubt an idiot of the highest order & needs lessons with DH! How some people ever pass their test is beyond me!

Great thread OP!

The residents association in my building exist to create drama and increase costs because somehow it fuels their sense of self importance.

I have given up trying to influence them and just unjoined.

I hate the word vile.

perhaps? I have no idea.
