What’s making you irritable today?

I am so grumpy. I’m stuck in my own head and everything is irritating. DH is ill and sighing a lot. 18 year old DS isn’t getting as much work as he’d like and it’s stressing me out.

Anyone else?

The heat

PearlsTeapot · 20/06/2026 19:51

The heat is making me very grumpy indeed. I don't want to do anything other than nap. But then it's too hot to nap!

SAzure · 20/06/2026 19:52

Constant scaremongering posts on Facebook about the heatwave.

People moaning about the heat. It’s not even hot today, at least wait until Tuesday you moany bastards

Day was going great until "D"P spoiled it with his stupid bad mood and now just being around him is irritating the fuck out of me.

A somewhat annoying new presenter on Classic this afternoon. I didn’t
much like Alan Titchmarsh - so ‘cosy’ and talking as if all listeners are feeble minded (struck me like that anyway) so I wish I could say the new one is an improvement. 🙁

Trying to finish making a book nook.

I'm going to drop kick it out into the garden!!

Sunloungerhogger · 20/06/2026 20:03

Job. I think I’m beginning to hate my job and the fact it’s crept into Saturday has made that crystal clear. And DH. Feeling a little bit more mellow about life in general after sitting in the garden for a couple of hours with DH and a couple of beers though, but previously pretty much everything about job and life in general - it’s all just a bit too much at the moment.

SerendipityCat · 20/06/2026 20:03

Domestic turmoil. Having some fairly minor work done on the house, which is proving disproportionately disruptive and frustrating. Trying not to let it get to me, failing miserably.

Recently been diagnosed with coeliac disease at almost 34, almost 3 weeks into no gluten and it's just pissing me tf off. Obv I know it could be so much worse! But omg it's in bloody everything, I have a toddler, I'm wondering how strict I need to be about cross contamination. Places I loved to eat with my family or friends are now so much trickier or no go. I had some little gifts from students leaving my school this week - some I could eat! But celebrations, maltesers, Ferrero Rocher, a nice cupcake, all went to DH. Also think toddler may have brought a bit of a stomach bug home from nursery as his tummy's been a bit upset today and mine has been for days.

Made DH cookies with normal flour for father's Day as a treat and ate a tiny bit of mix off my finger without thinking earlier, feeling sick since. Argh! Irrationally pissed off at everyone who restricts their diet by choice, including myself for stopping eating meat as a child.

What has not eating meat got to do with you being coeliac?

Carers (& I used to be one)
Relatives
Nectarines that are certainly not ready to eat

Ha! I often feel this way about nectarines and avocados - ripe and ready to eat MY ARSE.

I'm having a rare good day here but my irritation was when I woke up at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep.

Same here! It's too hot my bedroom and sitting room faces the sunset I'm hoping to watch some TV catch up Doc but I know falling asleep within 10 minutes is inevitable and it's back to work Monday. So hopefully you can sleep better tonight 😴

My internal car thermometer was showing as 42 at two pm so I think that's quite hot enough for me anyway

OneLimePombear · 20/06/2026 20:09

Nothing, I’ve done an hour of tai chi and watched a good film at the cinema so now feeling very chilled.

I bought some lovely linen shorts and appear to have shrunk them first time I washed them as they are now extremely tight and unflattering around my generously sized arse.

They stretch back if you wear them.

lostinmagic · 20/06/2026 20:12

My 3 and 6 year old have bickered all day, didn't matter what we did or where we went it continued. I cannot wait for them to fall asleep so I can sit in complete silence.

NippyNinjaCrab · 20/06/2026 20:14

My middle dog and Husband are annoying the tits off me today! Luckily i have been popping into next door to check on their cats and omg it's like heaven! No knob dog and no man.

DeadBug · 20/06/2026 20:16

We've been doing DIY all day. Dh and I do not work well together. I like perfect and he likes quick 😂.
I'm considering ltb. Mainly because he measures and cuts everything wrong then blames me for being fussy when I complain!

LindorDoubleChoc · 20/06/2026 20:17

I worked today 9am to 2pm and didn't have time to eat anything other than 1 cup of coffee and a cereal bar. Then I had a hair appointment at 3pm so didn't have time to eat anything before that. Then I had to buy a birthday card, something from the DIY shop and dinner from M&S on my local high street after the hair cut. By this time it was 4pm and I was starving. M&S didn't have any fucking aubergines!!!!! So I had to go elsewhere. I finally got home at 4.30pm and had tea and a bagel. I was beyond grumpy.

Hating being a parent. Feel like I don’t matter anymore and I am a slave to everyone else’s needs.

Not looking forward to 37c weather next week.

This. 💯 i could have wrote this

Pussert · 20/06/2026 20:20

I’m in Antalya airport, absolute nightmare! So busy, nowhere to sit and umpteen time consuming security checks. Aargh!! 😩

MrsTrellisOgleddCymru · 20/06/2026 20:22

My blocked sinuses! And bloody pollen. Lack of sleep, the dog being extra needy and wanting to cuddle me - and it's too bloody hot! Everywhere is a mess and I just can't find the energy to tidy up. DH having to go to work.

Thanks so much! I’ve stretched them back again 😂

Justploddingonandon · 21/06/2026 14:52

This heat. And DD. TBF she is ill as well as not coping well with the heat, but instead of just lying quietly on the sofa she’s whining constantly.

CrushingOnRubies · 21/06/2026 18:07

Every single time i want to spend any time in the garden. Matey next door decided to get his electric hedge cutter out and makes the most awful din. Yes the hedge dividing our small gardens could do with a prune but not right now.
