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 ...

That my DH didn’t immediately respond to my WhatsApp request for a further cup of tea in bed at 10.30am. He was downstairs.

Floranan · 06/07/2025 18:13

Went into the kitchen to start cooking dinner, DH and adult DD sat at the kitchen table doing a model / playing on iPad.

start getting pans out etc, they start bickering, DH asks me what I think, I agree with DD (it’s not and deep discussion just a matter of opinion), he starts “oh of course you do, should have known you would never agree with me” etc etc, and stormed off, DD said I should have agreed with him the keep the piece I should have known he would kick off, and yes I did, but I’m sick of keeping the piece. He comes back and starts messing with his model, I keep sorting out dinner, when he say “of course I know I’m always wrong and always boring you with it all”

I just walk away, I go to my bedroom and start to read. He comes in and asks if I’m going to keep sulking or come cook dinner .

im not that hungry so, I’m happy reading thanks

I mean I’m not sure the ‘lighthearted’ bit shone through here 🤣.

This sort of thing usually gets whole thread to itself.

Short staffed at work and road closures

mugglewump · 06/07/2025 18:20

That my son, who has been moaning he doesn't have enough drawer space, has over 60 t-shirts. I have counted them.

i know, but feel better for getting it off my chest .

i could do light hearted - this morning a baked a sour dough loaf, I’ve been loving stretching and folding and rising etc etc, did a slow rise in the fridge over night, got it out this morning and it’s flatter than when it went in. Decided to bake anyway.

im know debating on how to get rid of it, does anyone know if there’s a weight restriction on wheelie bins ?

Dbank · 06/07/2025 18:27

The countless number of stolen Lime bikes passing my window all day, with that pathetic alarm sound...

MinnieMountain · 06/07/2025 18:29

I’ve got a swollen leg because of a horsefly bite. My fascia joint problem is also playing up. The first requires me to put my leg up, the second to be mobile. I’m currently comfy on the sofa but it’s going to hurt like buggery when I get up.

And DS said he’d “already helped” when I asked him to get the cool pack from the freezer after he’d adjusted my cushion. Ungrateful brat.

Mumofsoontobe3 · 06/07/2025 18:30

I had to take the rubbish to the outside bin and it's pouring with rain. I'm heavily pregnant and was fighting for my life with the soggy bin, soaked to the bone and I was only outside for all of 2 minutes. Annoying!

PatsyOhara · 06/07/2025 18:32

@Floranan this is heartbreaking and a situation I know well. All that effort to be rewarded by a doorstop

I’ve lost some really nice summery trousers. I had them - fished them out of the drawer a few weeks ago. Can’t find them anywhere.
car alarm going off down the road at hal hourly intervals in the night. Grrrrrrrr.

MinnieBaldock · 06/07/2025 18:40

Woke up too early this morning fed the cat made coffee begrudgingly for the old man and I was so grumpy though I didn't say a word I just woke up with the hump. All OK now but I hate getting up too early and not being able to go back to sleep.

ShamedBySiri · 06/07/2025 18:42

Flies.
I forgot to check my pockets and remove a tissue before putting a wash on. Everything covered in tiny flakes of tissue paper.
It’s Monday tomorrow.

Foodoverload · 06/07/2025 18:50

Went on an impromptu night away yesterday morning. Looking forward to quality time as both so busy and sleep.

Lovely walk and nice tea. Planned more nice things today. DP then gets D&V about 30 mins after food. Apparently his stomach had been bubbling all day. Thought would be fine.

spent the night in the bathroom that was not soundproofed. I am annoyed at the hotel and at DP. Obviously he was ill and couldn’t help it. Left at 7am to come home both having no sleep.

PatsyOhara · 06/07/2025 18:50

@MinnieMountain do we have the same child? Every request is met by a sigh

Two things - first, my breakfast mango was almost all stone and second, I got the egg box out of the fridge which I thought had the hard-boiled eggs in it, cracked one on the counter intending to add it to the salad and you can guess the rest…

bigkahunaburger · 06/07/2025 19:17

Me!!! Ive really annoyed myself.
Just changed all my bedding, so freshly washed - took an age.
Had bad guts and had no paracetomal - so took a Naproxen - which I know doesnt agree with me and always make me vom (in my defense I thought I would get away with one). Cue projectile vommed all over clean bedding, hallway and bathroom (didnt make the loo). Cue hours of cleaning to get right.

Im an idiot.

MinnieMountain · 06/07/2025 19:18

@PatsyOhara is yours 11?

BeFancyDuck · 06/07/2025 19:28

Husband took out the kitchen bin to find he doesn’t tie the bag up, just throws is straight in the black bin!!! Arrghhhh….. please tell me this would bother you also

EllaPepper · 06/07/2025 19:34

i had to be an adult today, when i just wanted to lie on the floor in my knickers and do colouring. fucking annoying….

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

Starter, main and dessert obvs Grin

Once again my teenage daughter left the cupboard door open. The rage !

whatwasthatnoise · 06/07/2025 19:38

I went to Spar to but a bottle of white wine. They didn't have anything interesting for less than a tenner so I'm drinking some underwhelming Pinot Grigio 😔

thesagarollson · 06/07/2025 19:39

That this potato croquettes only had a 12 pack instead of the 6 I needed raging is not the word Grin

MassiveOvaryaction · 06/07/2025 19:40

Planned an afternoon in the garden to do a tiny bit of weeding then lay out in my hammock listening to the birds.

As I put my hand on the door handle it started absolutely belting down ⛈️☔
