Mine today, it's nearly TOTM, I've donated blood tonight and so I feel quite weak and hormonal.
Dp offered to cook dinner tonight, I was having steak....he's fucking cremated the bastard thing!! A lovely 28day sirlion grey and thin looking. I could cry.

And DSS 15 is here there too, walked past me and ignored me when I said hi as he walked through the door. Nice.

I think I might have a hormone induced cry to sleep tonight.

People saying " I done it " or " I seen it" - (insert any pronoun).
F* cking hell there's free education now. No excuse.
None.

Indicate! For the love of our poor planet and our obsession with driving, indicate your intentions!

When you park in a nearly empty car park and someone has to park in a space next to you .

Ditto to apostrophe + s anywhere it doesn’t belong, e.g. family’s (plural) or 3rd person carry’s instead of carries. Often seen on MN.

I know people have very likely had rubbish teachers, but it still makes me wince.

@NeverDropYourMoonCup I understand that but the people who do this most to me do not have tinnitus. They just have a habit of not listening. I've stopped repeating myself to one of them and now she has started to think back to what I've just said, and it turns out she's heard perfectly.

When I cook and DH consistently waits until dinner is on the table to take a leisurely trip to the loo, get a drink etc then getting arsey when everyone starts without him.

When i had no dishwasher and filled the sink with scalding hot water to soak teh greasy things.
Dp would come along and run cold water on it while washing his hands.

Putting empty packets back in the press/fridge.Why?

Drivers seeing that you are obviously reversing out of a parking spot and will not wait 10 seconds but go to the trouble of driving around you. People are getting more and more bad mannered and inconsiderate on the roads!

Spoony fuckery. 🤯

@Gingernaut

Vintage items in period dramas, especially now they're recreating the 1970s and 80s.

Yes, by golly, that's an original vintage item being used as a prop, but IT LOOKS 40 YEARS OLD!

An item like that would have been made THEN. It should look brand new!

I am never going to be able to unsee this now!!

People who say something and nod slowly while they are saying it.

People who stand still on the moving walkway at the airport.

When the speed limit changes up, I am going exactly the lower limit until the sign, with the intention of speeding up as I pass the sign, and the idiot who has been driving right on my bumper roars past me in impatience just as I go past the sign.

theDudesmummy · 24/11/2021 07:14

Oh and topical and not really light hearted, people who wear thir mask under their nose...

LadyEloise1 · 24/11/2021 09:30

@theDudesmummy "........people who wear their mask under their nose."

I'm in total agreement. I want to tell them they are protecting no one. How could they possibly have missed the much mentioned memo Hmm

Pavement parking when there are parking spaces - you are causing an obstruction just to save you a nano second of walking.

Christmas decorations in November

Not stopping on or slowing down at mini roundabouts

People not walking their dogs and the said dogs barking all day

Ds leaving the microwave door open

Ds leaving wet towels on the bathroom floor😡

I'm sure I'll think of more because I'm really a grumpy old woman Confused

Ordering food and somebody doesn't want anything.
Fine.
But don't get a fork and a plate thinking I'm sharing.
Not gonna happen.
Joey doesn't share food

People walking out of a room to do something else and leaving the door wide open. Just close the bloody door! Letting all the heat out. Angry
