What little things have annoyed you today?

I know I’ve not got anything to really complain or worry about. So this is only a very little thing. I’ve had a cold and blocked up sinuses since last Saturday and getting fed up of my head and face aching.

I took the last of the cold tablet things yesterday, went to get a new packet out this morning and there were four packs in the cupboard that DH must have bought over the year. I can’t take any of them as they all have a colouring in I’m allergic to. So stood in the pouring rain watching DD’s football match with a pounding head and face ache. I did have some paracetamol but they didn’t cut it.

An entertainer at a children's party making the parents get up and do a dance routine together 🙄

A plonker parking their car at the entrance to a park instead of the road, so everyone had to walk and push prams on the wet grass/mud. Selfish idiot.

None of the kids in our show rehearsal knowing their bloody lines and the performance is in 3 weeks 😫

BellaTrixLeStrange1 · 29/11/2025 17:42

WhatsApping DH to ask what time to make dinner for and he just replies “18.45”. No “thanks for making dinner”!!

A woman in the gym changing rooms who was sitting with both feet up on the bench and was cleaning out her toenails

Good grief. What an animal!

DS's school excluding him from a school trip next week. I've been raging on and off since I found out on friday. Drafted various email on the war path over the reason for exclusion, send discrimination, what reasonable adjustments were considered, why wasn't I informed earlier & asked to acumpanie if needed etc. Then DS told me he doesn't actually want to go. TBF, the points are still valid, but it kind of knocked the wind out of my sail.

A customer today referred to one of our employees as 'that coloured lad'. She's dug her own grave and we've terminated our sevices with immediate effect (it was a long time coming).

@Yourinmyspot that sounds like misery personified.hopefully you can get cosy at home and have some you time
Like your username,one of my fave episodes was when walowitz and Bernadette done the shamy for Halloween.

DarkEyedSailor · 29/11/2025 18:26

I just finished hoovering and cleaning the kitchen, opened the fridge to put the milk back in, and a goddamn yoghurt fell out and burst and went EVERYWHERE.

Furious. I've had to sit down.

That’s one of my favourites too! DH likes the one where Howard gets Sheldon’s parking spot. I laugh a lot when Bernadette makes the short jokes as I’m 4ft 11 and I’m like thats me! When she says she can barely see over the dashboard of the car, has to buy her clothes from Gap kids and her feet never reach the floor sat on a chair. I might have to watch an episode. My favourite is The opening night excitation.

Went to watch my friend sing in a Christmas show. Took a few DGC. One not so "D"GC kicked off so we had to leave before the end. Now,sitting as happy as Larry on his tablet and moaning about the movie we've chosen to watch later, Elf!

People stopping right outside the only exit door to Aldi to have a chat

Lads, there's a cafe right there if you want to have a chinwag, get out of the fucking way

I have covid.
Next doors dog barking all day. I think I'm going to vacuum at midnight.

When I order food on food delivery apps, I already have set my preference for the food to be left by the front door.
However, 99% of the time what seems to happen is that when they arrive at the door they ring my bell.
I even send them a message when They arrive and some of them carry on ringing the bell even after they have read my message three!
It drives me mad every time!

The Uniqlo shop at Bluewater. It’s such a disorganised shithole that I got cross and put down the items I was considering and left. Yes, I appreciate the irony of adding to the disorganised shitshow.

The impatient driver who, while I was indicating to pull into a space in a busy car park, almost caused an accident by deciding to aggressively overtake me, just as the space-holder was reversing out. It was a man, of course...

Finding out that my mum has called my MiL to bitch about me. Luckily for me my MiL put her in her place.

A kid of about 8 pour a whole glass of squash all over the clean tablecloth at work today while his useless parents sat and watched and said nothing 🤬 and then they just walked away leaving a bloody mess . Guess who had to clean it up

Why substitute my order of Gluten free crackers selection for a selection that is Gluten? Why? Just say out of stock!

Sminty2 · 29/11/2025 18:59

My next day expensive cat food delivery (he’s very fussy), due by 3pm hasn’t arrived yet, (7pm) DPD.
As I was typing, I’ve had a message to say it will be delivered on Monday! Useless.

SirChenjins · 29/11/2025 19:10

The number of parents at the shopping centre who were letting their kids run around while they browsed, seemingly oblivious to it all. By 5pm these young kids are tired, bored and fractious - take them home, give them, dinner, a bath, a story and bed ffs.
