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

*themself

MamaWeasel · 19/12/2021 16:07

Covid, obviously
Many of the aforementioned things
And car insurance companies who autorenew, especially when told explicitly not to autorenew, and then drag their feet shamelessly to avoid refunding £1400 so close to Christmas. Meanwhile dd is overdrawn and cannot go Christmas shopping. So yeah, autorenew can fuck off.

MamaWeasel · 19/12/2021 16:09

And MLMs. They can all do one as well.

Circuit breakers (just call it a lockdown ffs!)
Boris Johnson (I call him the potato with hair makes me feel slightly better)
The labels on the ‘recycled’ wrapping paper it rips off the paper and means you lose a good chunk of the paper
Prince Andrew (need I explain)
People that don’t understand that I cannot lipread through a mask, no matter how loud you are. I wish that the government had enforced see through masks so that people like me could continue to participate in society, I feel like an outsider constantly. Even my hearing clinic staff wore masks, and I explained I lipread and was already more than the recommended distance apart from them, still they refused to wear a visor or a see through mask

Antivaxxers moaning non stop on Facebook

I deeply and regretfully apologise.

Dc2 has a birthday next week and a birthday party.

I would like to propose job interviews 3 days before Christmas and uni assignment deadlines just after Christmas for the list. Especially combined and along with aforementioned birthday child.

Because we all know that no assignment work will happen over Christmas so it needs doing now. But job interview prep needs doing now (don't actually want it to F off because brilliant role and opportunity and I'm absolutely thrilled to have got an interview). But as well as job interview prep Christmas prep needs doing. But also birthday cake and party prep needs doing. But I'm still at work and don't finish until Christmas Eve.

I want an Alsatian dog as well but my bastarding husband says they're too hairy, I WILL get one and he can get to fuck.

Theunamedcat · 19/12/2021 18:57

My car code fucking 4 indeed PISS OFF I spent thousands on a new clutch and gearbox and you pull this shit? Right by Christmas? Seriously?

Gingernaut · 20/12/2021 00:33

Reynaud's can fuck off
Shift work can fuck off
My binge eating can fuck off
My unemployability can fuck off

Anaximedes · 20/12/2021 00:46

Not being fair to people with December and early January birthdays, so they miss out on parties, birthday drinks, presents etc. "because it is/was Christmas".

Getting overly obsessed with Christmas to the extent that birthdays and everything else become an inconvenience and/or everything becomes an unnecessary drama.

Inarightpickleandpreserve · 20/12/2021 00:47

Barbara from my office who thinks she knows how to do EVERYTHING and won’t leave anyone alone to just DO THEIR JOB!

That’s better!

Booklover3 · 20/12/2021 00:55

The Tories.

SunscreenCentral · 20/12/2021 01:42

My untidy (and not exactly sparkling) house
The shopping list
The presents that are still in the shops unpurchased
The absolutely mental 3 days I have ahead of me this week at work
My incredibly sore boosted arm

All of these things can fuck. right. off.

PeriodHacker · 20/12/2021 03:54

Autoimmune conditions can fuck off
Covid can definitely fuck off
Dec birthdays can do one (STBXH insistence on telling DC we are separating on my birthday tops it off this year)
My 60 hr a week job can jog on
Divorce fees can fuck off

The amount of monster munch inside a monster munch packet these days can Fuck off!

liveforsummer · 20/12/2021 06:25

@Gingernaut yes to raynauds - felt like such an idiot fumbling around in my wallet in Asda last night with fingers so numb they just wouldn't function. It was even particularly cold but going from a warm car/house to any cooler air temp triggers it.

TabbyM · 20/12/2021 11:10

Everyone at work, especially management for insisting we are a key service and can't WFH.

Dodgy neighbours.

People whose evil dogs crap everywhere.

Relations not being helpful re festive stuff.

Housework
Christmas 'hits' on repeat
Litter
Tailgaters
Virtue signalling
Remoaning
Pronouns

Cold shoulder tops
Unfunny 'comedy' (Mrs Brown's Boys)

myusernamewastakenbyme · 20/12/2021 12:02

Smart phones can fuck off....I hate that I can be out with my friends and one of them takes a load of really unflattering pics and then posts them all over Facebook...just enjoy the bloody night and stop taking photos.

Hemingwayscatz · 20/12/2021 12:18

Honestly mostly covid. So, so worn out by it all now. I’m having weekly counselling to deal with the after effects of lockdown still to this day. It totally destroyed me mentally and I still struggle to leave the house- I have to force myself to. Every time I hear anything in the news about possible new restrictions I get so upset and anxious. I don’t think I’d survive another lockdown.

Jammallama · 20/12/2021 12:43

Boris, Pritti et Al - maybe put them in a dingy and see how they get on

Jammallama · 20/12/2021 12:45

Probably also....
My cancer
Covid - obvs

Member278307 · 20/12/2021 13:29

Covid
Another lockdown
Cancer

shadypines · 20/12/2021 13:33

Boris and his constant stupid little elbow bumps (is it really still a novelty to him?) can fuck right off
And his love of dressing up, etc is that all about, scientist, builder,footballer, and the latest worst offender , the copper outfitShock. This man should live at No 42 Festive Road not No. 10.

shadypines · 20/12/2021 13:35

Auto correct,Angry wtf is all that about?
