  1. Tried to do up an old house. Local builder/ plumbers s ARE FUCKWITS who stuck my loo seat together with gaffer tape and had the flush button halfway down the cistern for SIX WEEKS as they were "waiting for part" - sacked them and my new plumber fixed the loo in 20 mins. All he had to do was take it apart and re-install it properly. He is nice. I like him.

  2. The brand new bathroom blind didn't work. It wouldn't stay pulled down so was bloody useless. I complained to the blind man 3 weeks ago and he's only just ordered me a new one.

  3. No one can fucking drive round here. I was waiting AND SIGNALLING to turn right at a junction and then BOOOM, some fuckwit slammed into the back of me and destroyed the back of my car. But he had time to beep his horn, ho yes. He had space to move over to the left of my car onto a very flat grass verge. But no. That would have got his car dirty. So he trashed his bumper and the back/side of my car instead and put me in hospital and my car took 6 weeks to repair. Fuckwit.

  4. Parcelforce will not deliver a fucking parcel to the local post office - nor the main sorting office/collection office in my nearest town. So they expect me to drive 45 fucking miles to pick it up, or waste YET ANOTHER DAY sitting waiting for them, then as soon as I go to the loo they ring the doorbell and fuck off before I can answer the door.

  5. The local National Trust place claims it's open all year round, but when I took the kids there it was closed and said we had to get the key from one of the neighbours. Guess what. The neighbours weren't in. I expect they were driving 45 miles to pick up a bloody Parcelforce parcel.

  6. I had an altercation with a woman in a car park today who wanted me to get out of HER way even though she had plenty of room and could have easily moved round me. So I did the only decent thing and shouted "You think YOU'RE entitled? Well you're not as entitled as me. FUCK OFF."

I am in a very bad mood. Don't even tell me to breathe.

Sending WineThanks--

to mark place to see what happens at parents evening--

hellsbellsmelons · 17/11/2015 13:35

OMG we have Chocolate now!?
Cool.
OP, surely it can only get better from now on.
You have made me Grin though.

GastonsChestHair · 17/11/2015 13:39

Why don't you have a lie down Op with something cool on your forehead and some Wine & Chocolate

ProfGrammaticus · 17/11/2015 13:39

I don't think you are in the right frame of mind for parents' evening to go well Grin

ZoeTurtle · 17/11/2015 13:43

You've obviously moved onto the set of a sitcom. I did hear that Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em was being remade, you haven't wandered onto the set have you?

katemiddletonsothermum · 17/11/2015 13:49

If only I had Zoe, if only I had. This is RL. I wish I was making it up for attention but I'm not. I'm really on the edge now. Sad but Smile for Mumsnetters!

If the name hasn't already been taken, i'm tempted to namechange to VictoriaMeldrew.

lizzydrippingsghost · 17/11/2015 13:55

your names not miranda is it, by any chance

GreenPotato · 17/11/2015 13:57

That's so true about the parcels. The only time anyone delivers me a parcel, is when I am out at the fecking depot retrieving the previous parcel.

NewLife4Me · 17/11/2015 14:00

All of your problems seem to be where you live.

I'd move, the place is jinxed Grin

plainjanine · 17/11/2015 14:03

Please dont drive to parents' evening! It's asking for trouble, especially in the car park.

I'm joining because I was going to start a thread about cunting Facebook but this will do.
I am surrounded by fuckwits. My friend has just got in big trouble for posting about work on Facebook - after her org were strictly told not to. Why is Facebook more important than you know......your job??? Argh!!!!!

katemiddletonsothermum · 17/11/2015 14:05

So true pizza, I'm currently waving the iron around shouting "Carson, where thf is Mrs H? Get her out of your kitchen and off to my ironing board."

So true NewLife4Me - I had such high hopes for this place but it's been one bit of fuckwittage after another. I desperately want to go home. feels sorry for oneself and sticks bottom lip out

I'm glad that it's not just me who goes around muttering 'for fuck sake' under my breath every few minutes. It's amazing the 2 yr old and 1yr old that cause the muttering haven't adopted the phrase and stomp.

I might save some for you, kate. I just have to deal with the weather being a fuckwit - a big soggy cloud, set to piss down on us for the duration of my walk to school and back. Just the perfect weather for parcelfarce to leave a package under my hedge, while I'm out, in fact.

CurlyCustard · 17/11/2015 15:13

ChocolateWine sounds like you need these OP! I sympathise, the village I live in is like the fucking Truman Show, no traffic until I want to pull off the drive I've waited for 10mins before waiting to get off it Angry

tibbawyrots · 17/11/2015 15:24

Chocolate and Wine is what you need.

Hope your evening goes better.

TheWitchwithNoName · 17/11/2015 16:55

OP my day has been shit and full of pricks - you have really cheered me up!

FlowersChocolateWine we need a zombie emoji!

Hull?

katemiddletonsothermum · 17/11/2015 17:17

Yup - guilty as charged, she says in true Alan Partridge fashion. I'm not actually from Hull, but we lived near there for 11 years and the people are hysterically funny, kind, would drive 50 miles to hear you whinge and take no shit from no one. The people in the shops actually want to sell you things, the workmen (ie plumbers, joiners etc) quote you a price and and a time they'll do the work and they turn up on time and do the work for the price they told you they'd do it for...

People take the piss out of Hull but it's a hidden gem if you can see past the 1960s concrete. And it's official: we went to the London Aquarium over half term and it is not as good as The Deep.

DS got a glowing report, I didn't kill anyone on the way home and I've found the Christmas sherry which I'd hidden away so that i wouldn't drink it so cheers WineWineWine

I went for a nice long walk but got caught in the bastard rain. That Barney the fecker is having a right go at me, made a stupid decision and walked back along the cliff path and he soaked me even more with a wave and not the goodbye type.
So I am sodding soaked my hair looks bedraggled and I have to start work at 6.30
I need Wine and Chocolate(

iklboo · 17/11/2015 17:49

LOTS of fun & nerve soothing to be had in smashing a great big pile of cheap, nasty crockery. Especially when you don't have to clear it up afterwards. You MUST swear loudly as you smash each piece.

PuppyMonkey · 17/11/2015 17:57

Chocolate I am on my phone and can't see what this is.

Good thread op.
