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

Another vote for Covid.

Politicians of all persuasions
Journalists .... especially Laura K (grim on every level)
My DH and his $%^£! camper van obsession
Mud (rural life is dominated by it at this time of year)
Dark afternoons (shortest day tomorrow - YAY!)

Covid
The anxiety I have developed after working from home for so long - I was optimistic, happy and independent before this
My boss passing work on he said he would do for a colleague who is on long term sick, when I have already taken on work for two people who have left.
Not sleeping properly
Not knowing if we are going into lockdown in the New Year or not
Not knowing if I am ever getting back to the office

Following my shopping trip to Asda today......people who stand at the bottom of the travelators looking vague and gormless while I am travelling towards you, unable to stop or turn back, and then they look surprised at the inevitable crash!

@PeriodHacker

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!

So true - who the fuck gets away with that miniscule amount of moster munch.

The cash buyer that has swooped in and knocked our offer for our dream house off the table 😢

Ohdofuckoffcovid · 20/12/2021 21:11

Still feeling ill… covid
Covid in general

toppocket · 20/12/2021 21:12

Anxiety

Emotionally unstable men

Covid

Spudlet · 20/12/2021 21:15

Boris Johnson and all his party. They can do one, then do another one.

Covid, obvs.

All the people positively salivating over the prospect of further potential lockdowns and all the rest.

Lockdowns generally.

The fact that I can’t buy a pair of the boots that I really, really want until my business gets going, which it cannot if we end up locked down.

Fucking Covid.

Alcemeg · 20/12/2021 21:17

People who send me a Xmas card and it's the first time I've heard from them in a year and all it says inside is the printed "Wishing You A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."

I hate to sound ungrateful, but I find this really depressing!

Alcemeg · 20/12/2021 21:20

@iklboodolphrednosedpaindear

The end of the roll of sellotape that can't be found. Ever.
Oh! Oh! That's easy. Just always fold over the very last bit whenever you use it, to make a little tab.

Mind you, my DH does not seem to follow this basic etiquette 🤨

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 20/12/2021 21:21

Christmas
Tories
Perfume commercials
Ecomentalists
Tories some more.

SlowBoiledFrog · 20/12/2021 21:25

@XDownwiththissortofthingX

Christmas Tories Perfume commercials Ecomentalists Tories some more.
The preview said 'ChristmasToriesPerfume'

I did wonder how they would promote the smell of bullshit.

UnaLength · 20/12/2021 21:29

Finding out that everyone at work is likely to be told not to bother logging in on Christmas Eve when I'd booked the day of months ago.

Shitty traffic into town.

Forgetting where I parked and walking round two full levels in the multi-storey in heels with a heavy parcel (FU peri-menopause).

Missatkins · 20/12/2021 21:49

Boris 'Likes To Party' Johnson
Amanda 'Fake Face' Holden
Jacob 'Plum in Mouth' Rees Mogg
Feckin POTHOLES!!!!!!!
... & COVID

nancybotwinbloom · 20/12/2021 21:50

My commission structure for next year. It's like selling sunset on meth

DressingGown87 · 20/12/2021 22:58

My 1years old cough!! That’s ruining both our sleep

PeriodHacker · 21/12/2021 02:59

@XDownwiththissortofthingX Yes on the perfume commercials. WTAF are they ever about?? I'm left scratching my head in bemusement at all of them.

Wiglio · 21/12/2021 05:56

Energy price caps
Amanda Holden
Prince Andrew
Harry and Meagain
3 stone

MamaWeasel · 21/12/2021 12:35

Covid for sure, my son just tested positive. Luckily not much in the way of symptoms. But yeah, covid can fuck right off.

HeronLanyon · 21/12/2021 14:51

I have just this morning switched to feeling good about Christmas, in Christmas mood slowly switching off work etc. So I’m adding Christmas things too early partic in November.

catwomandoo · 21/12/2021 18:11

Can I add my fecking Dyson to this?

It says it's blocked, even if it isn't.

Bastard thing, turning a simple 3 minute job into a Sweary trial.

Fuck if

AuntMasha · 21/12/2021 18:17

Yes! Dyson can fuck off. We have the same issue.
