Having a winter birthday. It's not FAIR! (Stamps foot..)
Idiots. All of them. Especially the ones who work for big companies & don't understand (pretend not to understand) what you're calling about..
Technology. I can't keep up.
Arthritis. I NEED to walk, you stupid hip.
Pride stuff. All that gender stuff. Sorry, but I don't mind what anyone does, I just don't need to know all about it.
Harry & Meghan - I know, it's what everyone else has said, but bloodyhell, go AWAY..
Strikes - probably another unpopular one. Don't care. When they impact the rest of us, they piss me off. (Yes, I know that's why they do it - am pissed off, NOT stupid.)
Covid - still around, hospital admissions up, & I'm the only one wearing a mask while out & about.
TV - all those channels & nothing to watch. I like documentaries, enjoy learning, not seeing bloody drag queens, plastic females searching for husbands, soaps, etc etc..
Getting a bus pass just as bus services are decimated.

Wow. Didn't realise how angry I am! ;-)

My glasses. I put them on when I woke up yesterday morning and started panicking thinking I was going completely blind, till I realised one of the bloody lenses had fallen out which I promptly stood on and crushed!
I spent the day like the monacald mutineer!

Chibbers · 17/01/2023 06:59

Or however you spell monacled!
Knew I should have written Cyclops instead!

Plastic packaging on food where you're supposed to open it by lifting a corner, they can nob off too. I always end up in a stabby rage with a sharp knife.
Turning a lamp on and the bulb blows, and it's always the bulb that you don't have a spare for. Aaargh!

knackeredcat · 17/01/2023 09:02

Cost of existing - sure doesn't feel like living
Gulf between rich and poor ever widening
Constant royal and celeb waffle to detract from the above
Influencers, particularly the Andrew Tates of this world
Followers of influencers - make up your own minds (but I fear many have lost the ability to critically think)
Menopause
Likely cost of the private dental work I'll need doing (of course, none of it straightforward/routine 😟)
So many bloody meetings in work
Lighthearted - the extent of my grey roots recently (and the dilemma of letting them grow or keeping my £££ hairdresser appointment on Thursday)

I know it's minor compared to other people's allergies / intolerances. But having an allergy to cheese is so annoying. It's more the fact that it seems to be in so many things.

FannythePinkFlamingo · 17/01/2023 14:12

In addition to my earlier ones...

Lloyds Bank who have repeatedly told me that they've sorted out the fraudulent debit card transactions on my account, only they keep on coming. Hours of my time wasted on the phone trying to sort it out.

@mamabear715

Am with you Mamabear (are you a fellow Capricorn??).

Add useless non supportive managers to the list!

mamabear715 · 17/01/2023 14:53

@Deathraystare I am indeed a Capricorn, does it show? :-)
