A lack of anything decent to watch on TV
The news - simultaneously dull and catastrophic
Cold, dark dog walks
Very thin party walls
Books that rehash already published plot ideas - and don't bother changing the jacket much either
People with silly amounts of money thinking and doing silly things
Radio presenters pretending to be enthused about phone ins
Inconsiderate parking
Perimenopause (in case the above hadn't made that one clear)

Agree with news - catastrophic and dull combined

Just the tone and use of language irritates now

They can all sod off

Incessant fucking bugs. DD is ill again.

shadypines · 23/01/2023 14:17

Constant social media 'rows' ....yawn
Agree the News ( the phrase 'dull and catastrophic at the same time' is brilliant)
My software system for work - complete pile of shite and not fit for purpose.
Bugs, should be a separate planet for bugs and spiders imo.

MarshaBradyo · 23/01/2023 14:33

Agree the News ( the phrase 'dull and catastrophic at the same time' is brilliant)

It is isn’t it. I can’t listen anymore with their stupidly eager announcements on nothing

lovelypidgeon · 23/01/2023 14:47

Wankers (mainly politicians and wealthy business owners etc) who keep talking about 'difficult decisions' having to be made when what they really mean is they'll be making decisions to protect their own interests that will make the lives of ordinary people more difficult.

Oh, and also icy pavements

Aggressive drivers
People that stop right in the doorway of a shop
The cold weather
My fat belly

The phrase constantly bleated out by Sunak and the rest.. 'Error of judgement' Er no, eg. choosing to take off your seat in a moving car is foolish and law breaking.

Having to leave job at Lloyd's Bank due to forced sexism whistleblowing as a result of retaliation - in 2023 in a bank that has endless D&I campaigns but totally hopeless 1980s HR to enforce any of it. Dreadful

Dental practices inc drilling teeth and removing. Why aren't bionic teeth that re grow available yet. So mediaeval
