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.

@maimeo

People who announce their child's birthday on FB - Our gorgeous girl Amy is five today!! followed by "How did that happen? Irritates me intensely
And when followed by "we love you so much" - she's not reading this though is she?!

Relatives that phone the hospital ward asking to speak up their mum/dad, or go into a huge speech about their mum/dad/great aunt for 5mins whilst I’m trying to interrupt to ask who they’re talking about!! I’ve got 12 men and any one of those could be your dad, give me a clue who’s M&S pj’s and liquorice all sorts were discussing!

Honestly this happens nearly every time I answer the phone! So I’m planning on taking a game of Guess Who into work and update it every shift with pics of the patients, it’d cheer my day up asking if they’ve got a moustache, curly hair or smoking a cigar Grin

When you are giving way in a narrow street with parked cars one side with gaps at driveways and sometimes in the gaps in front other people are also giving way and some idiot behind you for whatever reason overlooks what the rest of you are doing and the fact there are a stream of cars coming towards them, and overtakes which instead creates a gridlock. 🙄

This happens a lot in morning rush hour down two roads I have to drive down.

@Nellesbelles

When you try get something out of the cupboard and something else falls out onto the floor. Brings out a full on hulk rage I don't know why
Yes yes and bloody fridge origami, just tried putting something in ours and a bottle of beer from the carefully and precariously stacked pile crashed out onto the floor, i could have cried. DH came to the rescue cos i was in bare feet but its taken 20 minutes to clear up and i can still see little splinters of glass.
lollipoprainbow · 20/11/2021 09:22

People walking behind you who don't overtake ! I can hear them really close so usually stop and let them pass. Cars appearing behind me when I'm trying to park I usually race off and go back round the block.

My Siemens washing machine that does an efficient Germanic beep when it finishes, and then does it every 30 seconds until you go and open its door. It goes on forever. Bastard thing

sausagelastrange · 20/11/2021 09:31

People who out the divider on the check out conveyor belt very close to the back of my shopping, when I am still unpacking and still have a trolley full of stuff and no, darling fellow shopper, the two inches you have given me to unload the rest of my shopping is not enough to fit this trolley load of stuff FFS

I could probably think of more but doing so is making me rage so I will stop now!

sausagelastrange · 20/11/2021 09:32

Put, not out!

Autocorrect also enrages me but I am peri menopausal so a lot of things annoy me 😂

Tumbleweed101 · 20/11/2021 09:32

The sound of high heels clipping on a supermarket floor. For some reason that sounds just irritates the hell out of me.

Belledan1 · 20/11/2021 09:38

When people in my house take the last thing out of a packet and leave the empty packet in the fridge or cupboard. Also leave the tiniest bit of milk or say cheese in the packet. Just finish it off.

OhGiveUp · 20/11/2021 10:06

The bin men emptying the bin after you've gone to work and leaving the bin between the gate posts, so you have to stop the car and get out to move it before you can drive into your driveway.....every bloody time! 🤬

Heartofglass12345 · 20/11/2021 10:50

@ablutiions my tumble dryer does that when it thinks it's finished, it's so dramatic!

neverearlythoughItry · 20/11/2021 11:10

Other drivers who flash you so you can turn right across their side, when they're the only car there.

I know they're trying to be nice but obviously have no awareness of what's behind them!

And the bin men who leave it 2 doors down, despite having our house number in huge letters on it.

My dryer does this, but the clothes are still wet. Bastard.

When mine where at primary the other parents just drove me insane
I’d want to get to school,drop the kids off and then leave
Job done
Not this lot
They’d walk slowly-but fast enough so you couldn’t get past them
Then they’d clog up the entrance to school so you couldn’t get past
Then they’d have to walk as slowly as they could to the classroom
One mother used to push her kids buggy into the doorway of the classroom-which meant nobody else could get in or out-and god help you if you moved it
They would hover in the cloak room as their little darlings couldn’t possibly manage to hang their own coats up/put wellies away
Then,after I’d managed to get everyone to the right place and was ready to leave-they’d clog up every doorway/the playground/exit gossiping with their mummy mates (one would stand in her gym gear,stretching,just within the exit so nobody could get out-and as she was blocking it,we’d all either have to push past or use the other clogged gate to get out)
School sent out a letter asking us to dump and run-‘please don’t stand in the playground talking until 11am or 6pm as we need the playground for the kids’
All pleas where ignored as the problem was everyone else and not them,standing gossiping in the bloody playground (ther was two parks,3 cafes and they all lived close by so could have had their goss there)

Used to really wind me up at the time-it was a blissful day when my youngest left for secondary school

When people don't use my doorbell but instead knock on the bay window or worse, press their faces up against the glass and peer in grinning. It makes my blood boil - so rude!!
All my family and DH's family do it and I hate it. Chilling on the sofa then an unexpected visitor appears grinning in at you.

This was mine too. I hate it. When we moved I thought we'd escaped as the main family rooms are at the back of the house but they try and come through the side gate to peer in through the patio doors. Even if the gate is locked they gawp through the gaps in it. Just ring the bloody bell!

The other evening I was visiting someone at their house for the first time. NAturally it was dark. She lives in a narrow residential street. IT was a nightmare, because

  1. Half the already narrow road was dug up for gas main repairs
  2. None of the houses had visible numbers so I had to crawl anyway, and
  3. The worst of all - bear in mind that because of the road works the road was often just single track, and it was dark - was literally dozens of runners, who kept swerving into the single track road because of the road works blocking the pavement. How I missed them I’ll never know. Luckily they were coming towards me so they saw me. And a lot of them were wearing dark clothing too.

Crumbs in the fucking butter 😡😡😡

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 20/11/2021 13:53

He’s just done it yet again - sneezing loud enough to wake the dead. I do sometimes wonder whether my mother will rise up from her ashes (on a shelf in the dining room, we must get around to scattering her somewhere soon) and tell him to please tone it down. I’d like to think of her telling him to shut the fuck up, but she’d never have used the F word, especially not to dh, out of whose arse the sun always shone for her.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 20/11/2021 14:42

Work one (HCP): asking people how long they have had a symptom - chest pain/shortness of breath/back pain, whatever, and them answering, "A while". They then give you the side-eye if you ask them to be more specific, as if you should magically know whether they mean 15 minutes or 2 years.

It's not the most annoying thing that happens at work by a long shot, but it gives me inexplicable rage.

FrangipaniBlue · 20/11/2021 15:26

The way DH says the word disgusting.

"Scuss-tuhn"

THATS NOT A FUCKING WORD!!!!
