A thread about irksome things

[ChippySauce]

Anything!

Mine is my washing machine.
It's a pathological liar - tells me there's 9 minutes left of the cycle, half an hour later...it's still merrily swishing around.
Yes, merrily...

What's irking you tonight?

Kids at festivals kicking inflatable balls at everyone and knocking over drinks while the parents watch. I nearly raged but remembered that it was real life and not mn.

Imagine how the poor horses feel, and cattle I feel so sorry for them 😢

My bastard washing machine not only lies about when it’s going to blood finish - it always says six minutes and that can mean anything from even to forty five sodding minutes…. Then it announces it’s done in pseudo operatic style by insisting on insulting the memory of Robert Schumann by playing a really twee rendition of Die Forelle from start to finish before you can open the bastard machine. If the man’s syphilis didn’t make him suicidal when he was alive, this definitely would have been the ticket now.

@NeilDiamondsBlowDry genuine question but do they feel it as much because they have thicker skin?

@dontcomeatme Jamie vibes 🤣

Totally agree about washing machines, mine not only lies but definitely eats socks as well.

Robert Schumann died of Pneumonia? He did attempt suicide but didn’t succeed

He attempted several times and was in and out of asylums and sanitariums with syphilis. Pneumonia may have been what took him
out at the end but he definitely had end stage syphilis too.

I know that washer machine personally. She’s a bitch

Dogs barking. It’s particularly getting to me this week as we’ve wanted to have windows open all day and I don’t think we’ve gone more than 10 minutes without one of the neighbours’ dogs going off.

Can you have a word with her please @Devianinc
It’s the sneakiness I can’t abide.

Schubert, people! Schubert!

Well every day is a school day on MN! Schumann, Schubert, syphilis…

Feeling slightly jealous that everyone else’s machines are in the 6 Minutes Club, whilst mine prefers 9.

My washing machine beeps then makes me wait 5 mins. If im waitjng, it adds on a minute to piss me off. The tumble dryer ( used only in emergencies not summer! ) starts then as I step out of the utility room, stops.
So I go back, press its button again, harder, and it starts again. I stand there.
After a minute, I leave. It stops.

I found myself creeping away from it, crouched along the wall, as if I'm pretending I'm Jason Bourne.

Oh yes my washer waits and shouts.Also famiky chewing with their mouths open. I gave misphobia without doubt. The extrasound effects are excruciating.

I try but she’s very coy. She doesn’t give a crap about anything but herself.i hate her but she doesn’t care.

🤣

tell me it’s a Samsung. Worst company besides LG crappiest garbage in the world.

And i got rid of my front loader even though it was still under warranty. Years ago it was just a mold incubator in the front rubber thing. I’ve gone back to top loaders. They used to inexpensive but not anymore.

And it’s my son’s washer and dryer. I hate them both. The washer and dryer I mean. Lol bc I do a lot of laundry when I’m babysitting

Every single printer I’ve ever owned or used just randomly decides to go on strike indefinitely. I don’t know what I’ve done to provoke them. The working conditions are really good. I look after them and feed them enough paper and ink, and they still always turn against me

I’m afraid to even have one. They’re controlled by evil ogres

@dontcomeatme

black tape

@beetr00you are a star, why didn't I think of those 😅 thank you!
