There’s nothing worse than… (lighthearted)

[CultureAlienationBoredomandDespair]

Stepping on a plug
Having to wear damp socks
A fly in the room when you’re trying to concentrate

Arriving at the checkout to discover you've forgotten a shopping bag and having to pay an exorbitant price for one as you've bought to much to carry without one.

People parking next to you so you have difficulty opening the car door, even though there are 30,000 other available spaces in the near-empty car park.

A too hot bath so you’re sweating and it isn’t enjoyable.

fancying something with milk (cereal, tea) only to get to the fridge to discover you’re out.

Realising you did a load of washing that’s been stewing in its dampness for 3 business days.

I did that yesterday 😭😭😭

The sprites in my house that hide the TV remote 5 seconds after I've put it down.
My car door which refuses to stay open when I'm trying to get out.
The beam on my staircase which is 6" taller than me hitting my head when I'm coming downstairs.
The amount of my hair that is everywhere in my house.

A wet dressing gown sleeve 🥴

People that say "lets all say a little bit ourselves" in meetings 😡

Wankers that use corp speak. "Awsome! Lets all dial back on that and revisit that in the future".

A ring binder/ spiral binder that no longer aligns properly and repeatedly spews it’s contents everywhere…

Urgh this!!!

Also.., straightening your hair and it then rains that stupid rain that just causes frizz and is too light to warrant an umbrella...

Moron husbands leaving roasting tins "to soak" so you have to then retrieve greasy roasting tin from cold, greasy water 🤢

See also.. husbands not "noticing" that you have ran out of toilet despite using the last half a roll having a leisurely shit

Strangely comforting thread, thanks OP!

Yes that car park thing -why?!!!!!!!!!!!??????

Dropping something (phone, remote) when you’re really comfy in bed or on the sofa and it is JUST TOO FAR to reach without getting up but you try for ages to stretch for it which takes up more energy that just quickly getting up and grabbing it.

Washing up and touching wet food

I'm sure I read somewhere once that when you're annoyed/upset/angry/in a rush/not thinking straight it affects your spatial awareness, which is why you're more likely to get your sleeve caught on a door. SO annoying though!

I'd like to add discovering a full dishwasher/washing machine when you thought it was empty.

Soggy cornflakes

Cheeky kids

I can’t be doing with either

Going for the last mouthful of your brew (or drink of choice) and realising there is no last mouthful 😢

Being ultra comfortable in bed, perfect temperature etc, then needing to pee.

Waiting the, say, 15 minutes for an item to cook and going into the kitchen to find that the tray is still sitting on the worktop.

Changing the bedding and then, 1 hour later, the cat throwing up on the bed.

A baby falling asleep on you after being fractious for ages and giving you a numb arm.

Getting into a bath that's just slightly too cold.

Losing sight of a giant spider!

The Velcro from your child’s coat getting stuck on your jumper.
The meal deal you are having for tea all needing to be cooked at different temperatures.

When soup explodes and liberally coats the inside of the microwave.

You get given a lovely pudding which doesn’t have quite enough custard or ice cream with it

When you're doing a shit chore like emptying the dishwasher or cleaning the toilet and the OH sends the kids to ask you for something when he has two fully functioning arms and two fully functioning legs

2 bits of polystyrene squeaking against each other. Shiver!
