Don't get me wrong I'm not an unhappy person by any means and I have a lovely circle of friends (of varying ages) who "get me" but the older I get the more the little, tiny things PISS ME OFF. You don't even need to answer as I know I'm BU but the feelings are real. Things such as people dropping litter or putting their feet on the seats on trains have always been up there but is it weird to be apoplectic with rage inside about such things as?:

Grown adults using the term "simples"?

Ditto "Snowflake"?

Haribo adverts where adults are dubbed as babies?

That kid that keep harping on in a simpering voice about how long Daddy is taking with the washing up bottle?

Young people (DD included) saying "like" every third word in a sentence?

People taking pads and pens to the most brief meetings at work?

Same people asking a thousand irrelevant questions when everyone just wants to go home?

Having a brief comment about old people annoying me deleted from MN when all around people are calling each other "see you next Tuesdays?"

Women on adverts having multiple orgasms about air freshener?

People checking sheafs of lottery tickets at the local shop during the lunch hour. Or ever, actually?

Any train station outside of London not having a self-service ticket machine?

People thinking their birthday should be some kind of national holiday?

People in front of you staring at the ATM like they just landed on Mars?

People turnng up at your castle house unnanounced?

Constant references to "Brexit" - or the DM in general?

Stupid new buzzwords like 'babymoon' and 'throwback snap (i.e a photo taken a week ago).

Plastic chairs.

Breastfeeding Nazis (and I breastfed).

Prams with the kid's name emblazoned on the quilt and hinges.

Asda changing the tinned mixed-bean recipe to cut out all sugar/flavour?

Lorraine Kelly?

Idiots always winning the National Lottery?

Ok, all irrational and I know I'll be flamed off here but that felt SO GOOD.

Ubers are taxis

Similar. Not the same.

How are they not taxis?

@fullofhope03

Thank you my love. It is good to know I am not alone!

I really think of my house as my retreat, and I don't like randomers thinking it's ok to call without any notice, when my kaks are on the radiators and the dishes are in the sink and nothing is done. How dare they!

Anyway, it's lighthearted from me, but I am determined, no one will presume that I am open all hours!

@strawberrisc

You must be me! I did the same, so liberating! Thank you, I feel kind of normal now, but I just do what I want to do now anyway.

Yippee.
