Non plate shaped things in the dish rack.

Rummaging frantically in your bag for the ringing phone for it to then stop just as you get your hand on it.

Avarua2 · 04/04/2023 07:52

A mosquito in your tent

ImSweetEnoughDarlin · 04/04/2023 08:03

Fucking ketchup sachets
A bad pillow
Someone adjusting your chair or moving your computer screen. Or car seat.

Catching your sleeve on a door handle when you're already in a bad mood

nz101 · 04/04/2023 08:12

Going to bed and realising you stripped the sheets earlier in the day and haven't remade it!

dreamonlucid · 04/04/2023 08:12

Train wankers
People who pull out of junctions in front of you then go really slowly!
Snoring
Forgetting someone's name

Getting a wasp out of a classroom with 29 yr9s getting increasingly hysterical.
Someone saying "Guess how old I am?!"
Taking the washing out of the machine to discover that there was a tissue in a pocket.

VanillaSox · 04/04/2023 08:29

Love all of these!
And so relieved is not only me with the microfibre cloths. Similarly those quick dry towels made off that same material -ugh!!

Why is that so irritating?! It really, really is.

justmyluck1234 · 04/04/2023 08:30

Getting caught onto the door as you walk past 😩😅

I don’t mind them unless my fingernails are really short 🫣

Drinking half a cup of tea and then realising there’s a slight tang to the milk.

When the foundational plank of the meal deal is sold out

Sandysandwich · 04/04/2023 09:05

Reapplying suncream just as the wind blows sand all over you.

Having your foot fall fully asleep and then having to walk normally past people

Your sleeves sliding back down you arms while you are washing your hands

Theunamedcat · 04/04/2023 09:10

Catching your pocket on the door as you walk past

Hearing your cat be sick and not knowing where he is in the house

Decluttering with an unenthusiastic adult child long distance she just ghosts me instead of saying I want to keep that I get radio silence 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

CultureAlienationBoredomandDespair · 04/04/2023 09:12

Sneezing when you’re carrying two hot drinks

OneMoreCookieMonster · 04/04/2023 09:23

Idiot of a H using all the hot water and not putting the boost on. It was hair wash day this morning

Stepping on lego you've already asked to be cleaned up

Forgetting to take the butter out of the fridge and trying to make a packed lunch

H using the last of the milk and putting empty back into the fridge. I just NEED a fucking coffee! And, maybe a divorce

Forgetting to put the delayed start on the dishwasher last night

Socks that don't match

It's super sunny but had to scrape and defrost car this morning

I've had a hell of a morning. I fucking hate Tuesdays

An itchy foot when you’re wearing boots.

First world problem- a DH who doesn’t put the water tap thing back in the coffee machine, after he’s used the milk frother.

CurlewKate · 04/04/2023 09:27

The sound of a cat being sick....somewhere.
