To want everyone to fuck the fuck off?

[OnTheRunFromTheAcademe]

Apparently being pregnant gives me The Rage.

I think it just helps me see things more clearly, and express myself more honestly.

Am I being unreasonable?

Nope. YANBU. I have preggy rage. Everyone is annoying. I have to censor myself constantly and stop myself physically attacking others.

My high point of yesterday was not running over the person who stopped - right behind my reversing car! - to rootle around in their handbag for their mobile. I did however yell "Take your time" out the window.

I lost it when I was putting the three kids in the back of the car and some dipshit in a merc was nudging me and revving their engine to park in the spot beside me. Hence me yelling "I can go slower. DO YOU WANT ME TO GO SLOWER!!!"

Fucking people!

YANBU

I had dd2 3 months ago and I still have the rage.

People just dithering around in their own little world.

Going at a snails pace around the very very busy supermarket so I get stuck behind them for about 5 minutes whilst the dicuss what baked beans to buy.

The idiots who just stand right in front of the shelves for ages with no regards for whoever is behind them

The people who just walk straight down the middle of the CAR park so you have to sit at 5mph until they have reached the shop/car/trolley park. There is several pedestrian walkways - why the need to walk on the road? Sends me

At "DO YOU WANT ME TO GO SLOWER?!!!" I shall be using that one.

I try to be reasonable, but people are just so irritating. And I can't even drink to make it better.

I have the rage too. 38 weeks and everything hurts. I am annoyed with DH that he has booked a gig in so near to my due date so will be gone all bloody night (even though it is fairly nearby and really shouldn't be a problem), I cannot walk, stand, sit or lie down without immense pain, it is my dd's birthday tomorrow and I can't even tidy the house to my standards or move tables or decorate the way I want to do it, I keep having stabby pains in my head that make me worry I am about to get pre eclampsia, my feet are cold but no socks fit me, it is really cold and I will probably need to light a fire tonight but DH has brought no wood in and I can't physically lift even one bloody log and anyway I couldn't face getting up every twenty minutes to stoke the bastard thing up....

I could win a gold medal for irrational rage. If I was related to me I would steer well clear

I am not pregnant and I would still like everybody to fuck the fuck off at least some of the time.

YANBU.

Everything and everyone annoys me.
People only communicate with me via text or email as its safer for them.

I feel and understand all of your woes.

You can have my line. I like to stare people dead in the eye with a look that says "Oh yeah, I will jump up and down on your car bonnet. You can call the police and they will blame YOU because who in their right mind pisses off a pregnant woman!!!!"

It's a very achievable stare with the humour I am in.

There was a thing on the radio yesterday about "Love is...". So you completed the text and the best one would win a prize. Mine was "Love is...not smothering your husband in his sleep because he looks so peaceful and I have pregnancy insomnia". I didn't win.

My kitchen was designed by a seven-foot idiot. Everything is out of reach. I am only four months pregnant and I can no longer turn the taps on because the sink is set four inches back from the edge of the work surface.

Can I come and press up against you OP. And as your pg I'll rub your belly too.

Evil

You're

And he has just told me he is leaving for the fecking gig so early that I will have to put the bloody geese in, despite being on crutches and unable to lift the really heavy gate without putting my incredibly wobbly pelvis out It is down the orchard, really muddy and slippy and I am really pissed off about it. He says just to leave the geese out, that is not bloody likely is it? They will get ripped to shreds by a bloody fox

Can you not get your husband to put the geese in early or is there a neighbour who can help? Don't go down to them, you will hurt yourself.

Also, you sound like you live in a Jilly Cooper novel. It sounds lovely.

arf at Jilly Cooper. Oh for Rupert to arrive

the geese go to bed at dusk, it is really tricky trying to herd them in before they are ready. They really are charmless animals and I regularly got annoyed in the summer because I had to stay up until past ten to put them to bed and I was pregnant and knackered whilst he was playing at someone's posh wedding. I still don't want them to get eaten

I may however send DH down to fruitlessly chase around try and put them in early, it will be amusing to watch and may relieve my feelings

Humphrey, at the risk of becoming your target, you have had your blood pressure and protein checked since you started the headache and swollen feet, haven't you?

yes, thank you! Had bp done yesterday and is fine, headache is intermittent and probably tension related because of my spd pain. At this stage I over analyse every twinge, it is really hard to switch off, isn't it?

Humphrey, assuming DP manages to put the geese away before he goes out, the positive of him not being around is that you have an entire evening with control of the remote.

Enjoy it.

I asked my mum when pregnant to make me an egg white sandwich and the caaaww left the yolk in!

then she got all pissy when I shouted at her for being unreasonable

turned out tbf I wad in Labour :/

he managed to get the geese in I may forgive him in time

I have told him that if I go into labour tonight there will be serious trouble. He sighed and said, I know

Humphrey

I have enough trouble herding my toddler. I wouldn't like to be dealing with geese.

Also, you lot have reminded me that it really only gets worse. Thanks for that

Not to mention the bit where you're sitting up feeding the baby at 3am, staring at your snoring partner with cold rage, and wondering what precisely the point of him is?!?

I have been either pregnant or breastfeeding (or both) since mid-2011. No wonder I have The Rage.

Prego-Rage is awesome.

I remember it well, I'm quite a calm laid back person in 'normal' life. However being pregnant sends me scarily nuts

Apart from being snappy and impatient with just about everyone within a foot of me, my worst attack was when pregnant with DC3, on poor old Henry the fucking Hoover ..... he decided one day that he wouldn't pick up so I beat the bastard within an inch of his little electrical life
He still didn't pick up after but I felt better :)
