Things that can fuck off

Light hearted (sort of)

  • Covid (obviously)
  • late December birthdays
  • Birthday parties the weekend before Christmas
  • Sherry shortage in the local supermarket
  • price stickers that don’t come off without leaving a mark on the item
  • covid again for good measure and the fucking related anxiety about catching it this week and ruining Christmas

Gaaaaah

Having had to spend all bloody day so far waiting in for an Amazon delivery because the other family members are all out and I can't go out until one of them gets back and takes over waiting duty.

This is the first day of my first break in 3.5 months, so just at the moment pretty much any and everything can fuck off, the vacuum, my poor partner, any noise, that man who knocked at the door TWICE - I was busy, leave it on the doorstep and fuck away with you.

Traffic

Marianne1234 · 18/12/2021 14:50

Omg yes to the elf updates. Boring with the added bonus of making me feel guilty for not doing the elf.

My mil wanting my dc to go to hers for a sleepover. THEY DON'T WANT TO!!! (I'm sick of being nice and making excuses. Just 'NO- FUCK OFF) And have you heard of Covid?

The end of the roll of sellotape that can't be found. Ever.

EvilPea · 18/12/2021 14:53

@converseandjeans
The fact that you can only get baileys cream at Christmas can fuck off. It’s beautiful.

Covid can FO with bells on. We live overseas and DS was due to fly over next week, but of course he now has Covid so can’t come 😢
So Christmas can also FO, can’t be bothered now. It’s DHs birthday next week too and that can FO too.
No sherry shortage where we are, barrels of the stuff cheap as chips!
We’ve just all got to grin and bear it for another year. Here’s to Christmas 2022 being much better for everyone.

Wrapping presents and writing cards. Also putting up Christmas decorations. Cooking Christmas dinner. Shopping at Christmas. Traffic at Christmas.

In fact all things Christmas

Mine asked my (then) three year old. “Do you want to go out for a coffee sometime and you can have a hot chocolate?”

She just politely went “no thank you”

That was that. Never asked again.
I mean she’s never bothered before or since, so why would the child want to go?!?

Theunamedcat · 18/12/2021 14:56

Expensive wrapping paper that is tissue paper thin and disintegrates as soon as it is touched by scissors. Might as well have bought it in home bargains
