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.

So many good ones already- pootlers, Superdrug, burnt steak, people doing good (and ‘my bad’ do fuck off).

People using adjectives instead of adverbs (see ‘doing good’ above) really pushes my buttons, but at least DC know the difference now from me raging at the tv Grin

The fucking mice in the fucking roof who will not let me fucking sleep. Little bastards.

Washing machines Grin

Fucking middle lane hogs, and the absolute idiots in this house that wouldn't shut the fuck up while I was trying to get the baby back to sleep.

Another one- DH will sit in pretty much silence while I’m cooking the dinner, watching me prepare the food practically drooling as I’m so hungry.

Then the minute I sit down, before I’ve had a chance to even lift my fork, he’ll decide now is the best time to ask me for my thoughts on complicated or intricate subjects.

Me: mouth full of delicious taco
DH: Dreadful what’s going on in Afghanistan isn’t it? What are your opinions on the refugee crisis? What about MPs second jobs? Do you think Covid passports are a good idea? What do you think about returning the Elgin Marbles?

Fuuuuuuuuck off!

People that don’t use their indicators

@specialsauce

My DM saying goodbye and going out the front door then starting another story, then saying goodbye again and going 2/3 steps then turning around and starting ANOTHER story. Over and again arghhh! FGS why dont you just come back in Mum!!!
Oh my god this!! Except my DM lives with us (separate living areas, but still) and she comes in and out of our living room door doing this. Even when i'm clearly on the phone and she needs to be quick!

I might have to stop reading this thread for the sake of my blood pressure.

Ditherers and the term 'furbaby' 😠

GraceAnatomy · 19/11/2021 22:00

People who don't know the difference between bought and brought.

I have seen the word disgusting/disgusted spelt discusting/discusted three times today by different people.

@Patty101 you need therapy 😱 They're small chocolates which fit perfectly in your mouth in one go. Equal proportions not necessary 'cause it's all there in one lovely mouthful 🤷🏼‍♀️

BB142831 · 19/11/2021 22:11

Small children pushing their own pram. As in, the one they should be in. Makes me rage. Not sure why!

HandlebarLadyTash · 19/11/2021 22:15

People vaping sweet sickly puff of air in front of me makes me want to gag

beautifullymad · 19/11/2021 22:16

One child (teen) getting through all 6 mince pies in 24 hours!

I was really looking forward to one with my coffee. I'm now hiding the packets and giving them out one at a time.

orchardgirl4 · 19/11/2021 22:18

Right turners... particularly motorists that pull out in front of you and then block the road trying to turn right.
Having my breathing space violated, particularly by any of the following:
People who cough or sneeze without covering their mouth.
Smokers.
Vehicles that chuck out plumes of thick black fumes...

Hun Can fuck off, however I am happy to discus The Huns.

Holibobs. What ever possessed you?

Furries. They can get in the sea. Ditto furbies. Furbies are animatronic furries and that shit is terrifying.

Literally. Like literally. It’s figuratively 99% of the time.

Gushing FB posts about a human they see every fucking day. We get it Sandra, you haven’t had sex in months, hate the sight of each other and his gammy toe makes you retch.

Grey everything. Grey is the shade my granny pants go if I don’t replace them before the elastic goes. I don’t want my house to look like my old knickers.

Princess/prince on board signs. There seems to be a direct correlation between possession of these and a high probability an arsehole is on board.

Hot dogs come in packs of 8. Buns in packs of 6. Just make life easier for us damnit.

Also the complete lack of being able to buy 2 hot dogs and 2 buns!

decent supermarket meals for one. Why do couples get the meal deal with the wine and sides and I have to spend more for less?

Dawdlers. Please keep moving in a timely fashion. Also, dawdling bollards. The ones that stop dead right in front of you for no apparent reason and get all het up you bumped into them.

I wish my dh gave a shit about what i thought about stuff like that!
EwwSprouts · 19/11/2021 22:22

Chewing gum. Chewers look gormless. Why chuck it on the pavement? Discovered recently one of the ingredients is piss!

People treating December as Christmas. It's Advent FFS. Christmas doesn't start till the 25th December. AngryAngry

Camembear · 19/11/2021 22:24

People leaving dirty stuff in the sink or on the kitchen surface when the dishwasher is just a few cm away. That’s my pettiest hate.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 19/11/2021 22:24

@Bimblepops

Saying “Happy Christmas” instead of “Merry Christmas”, just completely winds me up and has done for more than 30 years
Agh, I'm the opposite! "Happy Christmas" on its own or "Merry Christmas and a happy new year!"

Proper rage at merry Christmas alone

Toddlerteaplease · 19/11/2021 22:24

My 3rd year student, arriving on her first day of placement, with really long sharp, painted nails, eye lashes like road sweepers and a stoned ring on. In a first year it wouldn't be acceptable. But even more so in a 3rd year.

My DH, when “soaking” pots, always puts about an inch of water at the bottom. I have literally no idea what he thinks it achieves. I have raised it repeatedly. Infuriating.

tetrisgal · 19/11/2021 22:30

Not an issue now WFH, but in the office mine used to be people who leave a splash of milk in the carton and open the new one...so they don't have to rinse the empty one and put it in the recycling Angry

BangaloreLulu · 19/11/2021 22:31

Tin foil or plastic lids tearing when you remove them, instead of coming off in one clean, easy sweep. Finding my mailbox jammed full of advertising crap left by the postman three hours after my recycling gets collected, every sodding Wednesday. Having my neighbour's parcels constantly left at my house - you have to drive past her clearly signed house to get to mine, FFS. People leaving lights on. People not using car indicators and being in the wrong lane on roundabouts for the exit they then take.
