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

  • covid
  • The Tories.
  • Hermes 'loosing' everything.
  • Working Xmas Day at 5am. And the 27th.
  • selfish in-laws and their precious little cherubs.
  • my husbands rubbish present wrapping. I literally never get a nicely wrapped gift to open anymore.
  • tidying the spare room for guests. I'm working 6 full days next week.
  • Sainsbury's messing up my order and substituting all the lovely Christmas cards and wrapping paper with shit ugly ones.

Having to listen for 59,836 time that colleagues husband earns £8000 per month… as I’m hearing this I often wonder why they live in a shitty part of the city. Baffles me it really does

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 18/12/2021 15:32

Long covid, breathlessness and exhaustion.

Depression.

Self loathing.

Bunbunbunny · 18/12/2021 15:32

My DH cough that isn't covid but seems like man flu so I'm on the sofa till he recovers as guaranteed he'll pass it to me and I'll be on antibiotics with a chest infection

Agree with Amanda Holden stopped listing to heart breakfast as she's just jarring

TellySavalashairbrush · 18/12/2021 15:32

Menopause related insomnia.

Cooking meals every day.

People ordering complicated coffees/hot drinks in Costa/Starbucks/Nero and I’m in a rush to buy a basic coffee during my break.

ThanksMateThanksMate · 18/12/2021 15:34

My broken heating in my car can fuck off.

The bathroom really needing cleaned can fuck off.

My 3DC and OH can fuck off for looking so gormless while I fuck about like a blue-arsed fly.

Boris and cronies can fuck off.

The fact I'm not married to Peter Kay or Bob Mortimer or Ryan Gosling can fuck off.

My lack of funds and mountainous debt too.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 18/12/2021 15:35

If enough of us say insomnia, might it actually fuck off? Because that would be lovely. Sad

Possibly missing the point but if you put the hairdryer on a sticker for 30 seconds before you peel it off then it comes away beautifully without leaving any residue, even works on the
dreaded TKkmaxx clearance stickers.

schnubbins · 18/12/2021 15:38

That oul' fella that shouted 'MEIN GOTT'! in my face yesterday as I was leaving the Post Office.He was mad because apparently I took too long with my packages and letters and he had to wait . What an absolute prick!

AuntMasha · 18/12/2021 15:38

As well as Amanda Holden herself, Amanda Holden’s coat peg nipples can fuck right off too.

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 18/12/2021 15:38

Post covid booster lurgy. Headache, body aches, fatigue, nausea and fast heartbeat.

I had zero alcohol last night and don't want to feel hungover! Rarrgh.

Sunshineandrainbow · 18/12/2021 15:38

To much stuff in too small a place can fuck off. I feel so twitchy with too much stuff given by other people and no where to put it!

crosshatching · 18/12/2021 15:39

The Premier League can FO, at least for a bit till Covid calms down and then I won't be the house bad guy.
People who ask you to make their Christmas present.
And Christmas birthdays, personally I think Christmas Capricorns should get a special summer bank holiday all of to themselves.

Covid.
Loose Advertising inserts in newspapers and magazines.
Dogs waiting outside shops - only because I really want to say hello and stroke them but have to walk by and try not even to catch their eye !
Runny or blue cheese that you have to concede is too far gone to eat!

MrTumblesEyebrows · 18/12/2021 15:45
  • miscarriage #7
  • having to go for a meal I don't want to go to with people I don't even like but it's for a wedding so it would be rude not to even though at this point I'd rather die
Bigbum562021 · 18/12/2021 15:45

Various viruses and all the worldwide hysteria about them! Boris and his cronies! Love Island, I'm a Celeb and all the other moronic rubbish of that sort! Creepy crawlies such as 8 legged things, flies! That evil looking ''prince'' randy Andy and Hairy and Me-gain! Anything to do with Christmas-hubby and I don't celebrate/not religious/don't give a elf on the shelf's pimpled arse about it! HA!

elliejjtiny · 18/12/2021 15:47

Covid
Amazon
People mucking up my recycling boxes so that on recycling day I have to spend ages fishing the jars and cans out of the paper and cardboard box.
When you go out and there is a lovely sensory area with lights and bubbles that my disabled dc would love but they aren't allowed to go in because it's for under 2's only.
When netmums local send you a list of attractions "in your area" and they are all at least 2 hours drive away, sometimes 6.

TokyoSushi · 18/12/2021 15:53

Covid

The fact that we'll likely have to cancel our Christmas City break, because of Covid

The fact that we'll likely have to cancel our skiing holiday, because of Covid

Wrapping, haven't done any, hate it, about 3 billion items to wrap

NewbieAlert · 18/12/2021 16:01

Ah, I have found my people.

Wrapping. Wrapping Christmas presents can fuck off.

nopuppiesallowed · 18/12/2021 16:05

*The special diet for IBS and coeliac disease - what CAN I eat?
*One of my daughters having Covid and having to isolate until Boxing Day and she's too far away for us to check she's okay.

  • Parties that should never have happened. *The woman who spent days getting too physically close to my 93 year old dad - now I'm worried in case she gave him the blasted virus and then he won't be able to be with us for Christmas. *Having to cancel taking my grandchildren to the pantomime *This blasted cough I can't get rid of - PCR negative - but would clear Tesco in minutes if I nip in to get some food. *And apostrophes in the wrong place and people who say "could of" instead of "could have" just when I'm feeling furious at the things I've mentioned!
