A man's suit jacket coat hanger. TOO BIG and the jacket is no longer here so pls get lost and stop tangling with my other hangers
Oh- and DH bought ready sliced mushrooms. This is more strange than annoying ...

Next doors hyper Border Collie bouncing off the walls at 3am and barking at 5.15am. Meanwhile my Pyrenean was sleeping like a baby.

A massive truck parked next to me at the gym car park and it was a bit tricky to see when I was pulling out so I had to go very slowly.

This isn't tiny: it's HUGE.

I've been buying packs of nectarines in Waitrose - they're delicious right now. £3 for a pack of 4, or £4 for 2 packs (8 nectarines). Fairly reasonable for a sweet, juicy summer treat.

Only the Waitrose bastards have changed
all their packs to have 3 in a pack. So I used to have 33% more for the same price. And we're a family of 4 so it's all wrong.

I detest any food producer who sells food in packs of prime numbers!

Exactly! Why are individual trifles sold in packs of 3?

Now this would piss me off big time.

Were you all excited? 😣

I was! Looking forward to hoovering my stairs (used a brush up to now). And my car as I got grass in it yesterday after paying £30 to get it cleaned inside and out the day before. Figured I could save money by buying a £60 handheld hoover 😂

My bra is irritating me and It's only 4pm

Reversing onto my drive way before. It’s a fairly busy road, but not a main road.

I always park then wait for it to be completely clear both directions before swinging the car round and reversing.

Road was clear, nothing approaching either way, swung round and started to go backwards, went forward to straighten up then back again.

Cunt in a car speeds up out of nowhere and starts beeping and gesturing at me, pointing to their head as if to say “thicko”.

i looked at him, and used my thumb to point backwards , as if to say , what the fuck? I’m going backwards? Im
not driving out at you?

he beeped again , stuck two fingers up and sped off.

i really want to tell him what a stupid thick cunt he is, and maybe if my tiny bonnet still poking out a little bit bothered him that much he needs to slow the fuck down and accept that roads are full of hazards and you need to be aware and react accordingly.

The number of fricking charging cables: And the one I need isn't here, it's over there with all the others in a tangled mess.

Tourists! They just stop in the middle of the road so you walk into them. Italian, Spanish and French being really loud. Americans being very sure of themselves. Scandinavians all look the same with their annoying back packs. Hell is other people, especially when it's hot!

My husband made me a sandwich (good) but cut it in half the wrong way (bad). I prefer triangles. What a bastard.

Why are you still with him?

Oh no! I would have been very annoyed.

Fear not, you only have 2 sleep’s until you can do your stairs and car 😊

My own children having no respect for me and I am done with it 🙁

I went into "the village" with DC1 to stretch my legs and pick up a few bits from the supermarket. I said I'd treat her to coffee. She picked the place that does very mediocre coffee but excellent cakes. Except I'm on a diet, so no cake for me, and I paid good money for very subpar coffee.

Went to a railway today, wanted to see a particular loco. As I parked it started raining. Absolute downpour so got back in car. Train departed, had to wait till it did it's round trip for photo.

MyUmberSeal · 06/07/2025 17:16

I’m currently in America and watching the tennis on tv. The commentators pronouncing semi final as sem-eye final, is actually making me want to stab myself in the eye. Irrational but true.

I also annoyed myself today.

On autopilot I got a shallow trolley at Lidl.
Got 3 feet into the shop, realised I was there for the big 10% off shop... But for reasons unknown I continued with the small trolley.

What a complete bellend.

Obviously I got halfway round and finally accepted I was not going to have room for everything and had to abandon full trolley to go outside to get a big one/decant/return shallow one. I was all panic sweaty & I'm sure Lidl now think I'm a shoplifter.

I can't be banned. I love Lidl.

I am with you on every single word of this post Grin

We have a teeny, tiny frying pan that fries a single egg. Unfortunately, it's a crap design and the handle is too heavy so it tipped runny egg all over my hob. It's now in the bin.

Modernme · 06/07/2025 17:40

At my pilates class, this morning the man on the mat next to me kept rolling on to his left side when the instructor said right, and vice versa, so we spent half the exercise avoiding each others eyes, while waving our legs.

It's much less off putting when you're staring at the back of someone's head

Daleksatemyshed · 06/07/2025 17:57

It keeps raining, my cat wants to go out but she's not going out in THAT, the rain is my fault clearly, it's amazing how much sheer disapproval she can generate

CoodleMoodle · 06/07/2025 17:59

Sainsbury's had to cancel my delivery and said I could collect instead. Annoying anyway, but DH had taken the DC to his parents' house for the weekend and it meant going out when I just wanted to slob...

Mimilamore · 06/07/2025 17:59

Two women in seat on a very packed train from London to Kent. very loud swearing in every sentence for over an hour, I mean I like swear on occasion but this was hard on the ears.

Gingernaut · 06/07/2025 18:03

A trip to Foot Asylum to collect a pair of shoes I ordered

Dark, very loud music, poorly organised, with a basket of bargains parked up at one of the tills, so who ever lines up to get served needs to stand in line at another till and get in the way of the other till

It was like a nightclub with a really shit dress code - tracksuits and trainers welcome

PatsyOhara · 06/07/2025 18:05

@Gingernaut oh I HATE it in there
