What's really annoying you this week?

I feel so fed up today.

Am angry at the government about cuts that are outright cruel. I am annoyed that all my tendons hurt so much all the time and physio (which doesn't work) is all anyone can offer to help. I'm sick of living on 4 hours of sleep a night.

What's pissing you off? Share your rage and make me feel less like a grumpy old hag in the sunshine

Same @Natsku pneumonia here, on day 11 of doing bare minimum because am out of breath all the time. I'm also a really bad patient especially when told that I have to rest and do nothing. Easier said than done with 4 children and endless washing, then feeling awful that I am not in work.

Edited

Sorry you're suffering too, especially hard with 4 children. Hope you start getting more energy soon. I don't feel too bad when I'm sat down but I get bored so start doing things and then get out of breath. But my chest pain seems to be getting better now so think I'm on the way to recovery.
I'm feeling bad that I'm missing work too, we're at a crucial point with a fast approaching deadline and I hate that I'm not there helping finish everything.

The weather (I'm one of those who hates this warm weather. I'll also complain when it's too cold!)

SmallFiresBurning · 20/03/2025 14:36

A couple of colleagues who are utter gobshites 🤬

Lallybroch · 20/03/2025 14:40

Nothing serious, but took me until 2.30am to get to sleep last night because a) I wasn't tired and b) when I was DH was snoring and nothing I did would shut him up! Woke up again at 5.00am and he was still snoring. I think he might have a few bruises this morning.

Men driving vans, apparently me cycling within ‘my’ lane is causing them rage, i have been sworn at, had punishment passes, had them drive next to me while shouting abuse because I dare to be on the road and ‘in the way’ for a minute.

Thisissuss · 20/03/2025 14:56

Men.

Putin & Trump looking at the world like it's their own personal piggy bank.
Men not paying maintenance for kids while benefits get slashed.
Men driving like idiots because the sun is out and overtaking on blind bends.
Men changing gender to avoid sexual offences against them doing anything to stop them doing it again.

This horrible stinking cold that DS2 has brought home from nursery. It’s been days now. My head hurts, my throat hurts, my nose won’t stop streaming and I ache all over. I’m also pregnant with #3 so feeling extremely crap in general at the minute.

TwoWildlings · 20/03/2025 12:56

I know there’s worse things going on in the world, so this is just light hearted(ish)

This week I’ve been annoyed by the amount of dog crap on the pavements. There’s a few fresh turds, without fail, everyday. Our school run walk is constantly “oh, watch out for that one” “watch out, there’s some there too”
It’s just so disgusting and incredibly selfish, I don’t know what the owners are thinking. I would really LOVE to catch the scruffs who are not picking it up.

This gives me the rage every day and I am a dog owner

MinnieMountain · 20/03/2025 15:22

I was going to swim tomorrow but I’ve got a bug today which includes diarrhoea.

MinnieMountain · 20/03/2025 15:24

And sympathies @Enigma53 . Going through the peri-menopause without HRT is crap.

frecklejuice · 20/03/2025 15:26

TMJ pain and the amount of money it costs me not to have a full blown head and face ache every day. Also that I found out yesterday I need a hysterectomy due to a triple prolapse (bowel and bladder are grade 4). I’m only 46 ffs but I’m falling apart!!

Having a real woe is me moment 😂

Arraminta · 20/03/2025 15:52

Every few months my mood suddenly really dips and I go from feeling bright to feeling bleak in about 3 minutes. I can feel it coming on like you do when you can feel a cold coming on. It always lasts roughly 10 - 14 days and is hormonal (oh the joys of the perimenopause). It's basically weapons grade PMS but arrives at totally random times in the month. Or not for several months....who the fuck knows anymore?

There is absolutely nothing I can do to shift it (believe me, I have tried everything) so I just have to endure it. So yeah, at least another 10 days of feeling shit. Great.

Neighbour
Everything going up.

Chuchoter · 20/03/2025 16:23

The pushing of the agenda of the demonisation of white boys in the Netflix production of Adolescence.

ladymammalade · 20/03/2025 16:24

My husband. He’s been in a funny mood all week, getting wound up at the slightest thing and not having the grace to apologise for being a twat.

Chuchoter · 20/03/2025 16:26

This -

DID YOU KNOW HAMAS KILLED MORE THAN 60 PET DOGS ON 7 OCTOBER?

On October 7th 2023, more than 60 dogs were killed by Hamas and their fellow ‘resistance’ Islamists, like Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Fatah, PFLP and "civilians".

Some dogs were even beheaded.

Below is the Bibas family dog named ‘Tonto’ who was shot dead as soon as Hamas entered their house on October 7.

Because killing innocent family pets is resistance.

I haven't posted the photo of Tonto as it's too awful.

Banalmusings · 20/03/2025 16:35

My neighbour

Everything she does annoys me.
Her yappy dogs are the worst.
And the advent of warm weather stresses me out, because I'm dreading them putting up their horrible inflatable hot tub near my back door.

I hate the constant hum and I won't be able to look out of my window til autumn for fear of seeing her lardy white arse bobbing about in it, clutching a glass of wine.

I can already hear her droning on as she camps out day and night in the garden... ugh.

They must also have put wooden floors down or something as I can now hear them clump around indoors as well, their boy child is growing into a clumsy lump who barrels up and down the stairs and yells intermittently.

So yeah, the neighbours...

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 20/03/2025 17:28

Having no energy.
Having no money despite having 2 full time workers in the house.
The kitchen always being a mess no matter how many times I clean it.
The man I deal with through work who received a PIP back payment of thousands and thousands and has gambled the lot away in 2 weeks.
More lighthearted, spilling gravy down my jumper before I have to go out this evening.

HomeBodyClub · 20/03/2025 17:34

I’ve had a few this week

I had somebody book in a home visit and they no showed.

My hairdresser has upped her prices AGAIN when I went for a pre birthday treat. It’s every single time now and she is starting to do a lazy job. Then she got scissor happy and I now have a bloody fringe I didn’t ask for.

I got my nails done and they have been filed so short.

Whats the point in paying for a service that’s never great? They wonder why their salons are sitting empty.

Mistyglade · 20/03/2025 23:49

Perpetual exhaustion and headache hangover from the bastard cold flu lurgy.

JazzieC · 21/03/2025 01:28

My 19 year old son who has come home drunk and pissed all over my DDs bedroom and her bed. She is coming back from uni for the weekend tomorrow.

I'm so angry that I now can't get back to sleep. I've had a nightmare week at work and I'm up at 6.30 tomorrow to do it all again tomorrow.

He'll be doing a lot of cleaning tomorrow.

Mumof1andacat · 21/03/2025 07:04

Working and peri menopause. The two really don't mix well.

JantoDec · 21/03/2025 07:18

I’ve forgot to put the bin out again. Laid in bed and can hear the bin lorry but cba, just going to lie here and sulk about it

House is a tip. Fed up of tidying up after everyone and if I dare say anything I get ‘why are you in a bad mood? ‘

Work are pissing about with my contract and I’ll probably end up not getting paid this month.

I have no money and MOT and kids birthdays coming up - mainly my fault cos I’m crap with money.

Something I was so happy about has turned a bit crap and I may have to back out of it which is making me sad.

I’ve been dieting and exercising and the scales are not shifting 😠 My hair is getting thinner by the day and when it does grow it’s white!

All first world problems but I’m grumpy as fuck today!

Yeah, what is up with that?

Queueing in Primark or wherever and they think if their torso is pressing into my back the queue will go quicker.

I just turn round and stare at them now, most folk get the message.
