Things I haven’t said out loud this week

I politely told you last week that I didn’t want to involved, I haven’t changed my mind.
You’ve sidelined your dad for over a decade , in favour of your mum.
Are you really surprised that he’s moved on with his life rather than being hung on the back of the door for you?
You can’t expect him to change his Christmas plans because yours have gone wrong. You’re an adult, act like one, the world doesn’t revolve around you.

You can't afford things because you cannot pass by a shop without spending money. You met me for a day out (very low cost for you as I'm a member of the place) and managed to spend over £100 before meeting up with me.

I'm really anxious about going. And the scan, the Friday that I return. My rib and shoulder has been agony, like in 2016, but it's almost worse to recognise it now, and carrying a bag for 2 days is going to be unimaginable. Then I've got to talk cheerfully and play down what's wrong.
I was such a traveller,. It's really crap to realise how hard it has all become now, and how daunting it is, every time.

Unicornsatonalilo · 16/12/2025 09:32

To my narcissistic mother
I will go wherever I like,whenever I like and I don't need your permission to do so
If I want to go to my hometown to see my ds and dgd,then I will
Give me shit (you cant as your scared of me) rather than getting the flying monkeys to have a go at ds (who just wants to see his mum)
You have no power,you know this and your just a ball of flab,hot air and pathetic spite

The two married colleagues at work
We are not stupid
We all know you only had that baby so you could both go on maternity leave for a year
Your mental health is fine,there is nothing wrong with you at all (him)
It only starts up when you cause an issue,the other person claps back and suddenly your off again
And to claim you now have a blood clot in your leg that is the size of a football is utter bollocks (her)
It's amazing how this blood clot only appeared the day you where due back at work and how the mental health has lasted the same amount of time as her maternity
Just quit your jobs-but you cant as the benefits office will insist that one of you work and neither wants to
You do know we've nicknamed you 'the newspapers-as everyday there is a new issue and everyones got to hear all about it!'
And we are all sick of it

That teenage customer at work
You are a pisstaker
We are not there to run around after you and we can see through your shitty act of 'it's my heart,its going to give up' and calling out ambulances just for fun and attention is a nasty joke-there is nothing at all wrong with you
We can all see through your acting-your not very good at it (to say the least!)
Going through the NHS website to try and claim your next illness when it's proved you dont have whatever has taken your fancy this month so you dont have to work is a joke to all of us having to deal with you (and a waste of NHS time and taxpayers money)
We work damn hard to pay your fun money
Get off your arse,stop claiming you have really rare illnesses and get a fucking job

I'm not a benefit basher at all-we need a system for the genuine-this lass has no intention of working (shes proud of this and brags to anyone who will listen) and when shes bored she fakes illness for attention-I've had to call out 3 ambulances for her as knowing my luck,the one time I dont is the one time she keels over
The other two are lazy and want to go on benefits so they can just laze around (as much as you can when you've dumped baby off on family) with no real pressure to make anything of their lives

randos · 16/12/2025 09:38

You’ll never be happy if you always compare yourself to people have more.
If you like the idea of gaming with your dc so much then actually look into appropriate consoles and games instead of resenting me for not having set you up.

I was better off than you financially by the age of 21. Stop making conditional promises about your ‘generous inheritance’ and trying to manipulate me to live my life in a way that makes you look good. Take it all to the grave if you wish - I’m fine.

YorkieTheRabbit · 16/12/2025 10:21

Another
I do care but you’ve worn me down, why should I worry about your health
Go to the doctors, just go to the doctor and tell them about your issues
I can’t fix it but you refuse to get medical treatment/help.
What the hell do you think I can do? I’ve tried my best to help you, to cajole, plead, shout. Nothing works. You hide it from everyone else and I’m sick of covering for you.

Yes you are really irritating. REALLY fucking irritating. Being late isn’t “cute” or “funny” or “just one of those things.” It’s really fucking rude. You don’t have “an undiagnosed something” you just think you’re better than everyone else and you don’t need to be places on time because “everyone will wait for you”.

And no, not everyone does need you to tell them how to do things. Surprisingly I can fill my own car up with petrol. You don’t need to get out the car “to check I’m doing it properly.” and then tut and sigh at me when I go to pay inside rather than using the payment at the pump. have done managed to fill my car with petrol since I passed my test nearly 30 years ago.

You tell me all about your problems at work with your colleagues who “won’t listen” to your advice, even though they’re all more experienced that you. And then tell me that you’ve tried to tell your office manager that they are doing their job wrong. Are they really? Or is this just another one of those times when you think you know better than everyone else and your manager isn’t standing for it? I’m so glad I don’t work with you because I’d have put in a formal complaint by now.

And no, I don’t have to tell you what I am doing and when over the holidays. I don’t know yet and that’s ok because it’s my life and I’m just trying to get to the end of term in one piece.

thefuriousferret · 16/12/2025 12:54

You are a pathetic little toad who’s been molliecoddled all your life. Learn some basic life skills, stop acting like a baby and move the fuck out.

Illjusthavethebreadsticks · 16/12/2025 14:03

I’m so sad and depressed about no school being found for my autistic daughter we’ve been waiting 2 years.

Donury236 · 16/12/2025 14:09

Why are you paid twice what I am, and you cannot even figure out how to use your laptop - so I have to so your job for you (screamed in their face)

Lilacspring · 16/12/2025 14:15

I knew you wouldn't phone me , I've been checking my phone constantly, you were supposed to phone me between 9am-1.30pm.

I'm not going away and nor is the problem, expect an email every work day until you do your job and call me and sort out the issue as you call it.

Your LA don't care. You need to appeal at the next opportunity x

Manzana · 16/12/2025 18:21

I like you colleague but please do something about the amount of work boxes you have in our small office space, I feel hemmed in by them, and you keep adding to them instead of actually working through them, I feel like wailing out loud some days.

TinselTina · 18/12/2025 13:59

Just put some food in the food bank. Tight bastards

theressomanytinafeysicouldbe · 18/12/2025 14:22

No I don't want to look after your feral children, they are fucking wild, yes you are my daughter and I love you all, but no no no

Also,

If you don't start sharing the fucking remote instead of hogging it like its your new born fucking child, i'm going to lose my shit and leave your arse (the bastard won't even pass me it to turn it up, he does it for me, didn't bother me until peri, and he goes the long way around turning over the channels!)

And last but not least

Just get out of my way you fucking moron, you know i've come into the kitchen to cook, you know it's a small space, why now have you decided its time to make your bait, open every fucking drawer, get in front of me and stand staring into the fridge and then look at me and stare for a minute and then say what, when you know I want in the fridge and I'm stood there like a fucking idiot waiting for you to move.

Oh and then finishing it off with, well you're in a good mood this evening ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😡

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 18/12/2025 14:23

I feel like a fraud because I’ve just pretended I didn’t agree wholeheartedly with that decision

TinselTina · 20/12/2025 09:18

I think im a bitch

Milkbloo · 20/12/2025 09:26

Can you just stop moaning about money! You have SO much more than I do!!!!
Why are you horrified that I said you don’t fancy your husband? You literally told me you’re sex repulsed.
Your daughter is a tedious prima Donna and your son is a whiny little bore.
You never say anything nice about anyone unless they have lots of money.
Your dress sense is bat shit, veering between Glastonbury clown, and pretentious wannabe.

financialcareerstuff · 20/12/2025 10:24

Gosh this thread is incredible….. so many useless, passive people in our lives who are taking the piss…. The overarching theme is that we are endlessly caring for people who haven’t grown up and don’t take responsibility for themselves. I feel like the world would be better if we just said all these things out loud!

Sending love to those dealing with more serious challenges, who are scared or struggling…..

SprockettsFarm · 20/12/2025 14:04

DH - when I say to you, "Shall I pick up some potatoes and carrots from Lidl while I'm there?", why do you even have to ummm and errr about it? It's the 5p Christmas veg promotion, not the fucking Judgment of Solomon.

Appenzell · 20/12/2025 18:30

I'm so pleased that the one thing that kept us connected all these years is now over. I am so looking forward to never having to have contact with you ever again.

And the same goes for your children. So called adults who have proved themselves to be utterly spineless. They've both been on the receiving end of your nastiness but they don't have me to run to anymore when you kick off.

I'm so grateful for the peaceful life I now have.

MsSmartShoes · 20/12/2025 19:44

I do mean it - if I could go back in time I wouldn’t meet you at all.

NormasArse · 20/12/2025 20:24

Just shhhhh.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 20/12/2025 20:36

You. Are. A MOODY SULKY LITTLE JOBSWORTH

Milkbloo · 21/12/2025 19:30

How is it fair for me to put you up for the night so that you don’t have to pay for a hotel, and for you to say ‘ we can go out to dinner!’ And then split the bill. I honestly don’t get you at all. You don’t seem to have a generous bone in your body.

TinselTina · 22/12/2025 10:43

I blame my mother for my mental health issues.
