AIBU? Don't care if I am! Getting grumpy!

[strawberrisc]

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.

Mine are vague Facebook statuses intended to seek attention and then the responses of what's up Hun. Inbox me. Middle class teenagers that speak like they are from a ghetto. Audi/BMW drivers who think they own the road. Food served on bacteria ridden wooden boards. Any food accompanied by a foam.

Food served on boards/in baskets/flowerpots/trowels is definitely on the list. Although I will accept a cocktail in a jam jar (at a pinch).

YANBU!!!

AND People in front of you staring at the ATM like they just landed on Mars? made me laugh!!

I hate it when people are all 'if you haven't got anything nice to say....' or try and make me feel bad for having a rant as well. I am a grumpy shit sometimes and I have to be able to rant without being judged!!!

It makes me feel better

Facebook. Just that.

But it keeps threads like this going for ages. Facebook WTF?

Causes divorce, tracking, angst, all sorts of shit. But hey if you want to drive yourself nuts go for it.

Actually, I've just seen an advert on here for 'Ikkle bubba' push chair - that is simply awful and made me grumpy just catching my eye.

I have definitelt found my people here.

Twats who post about being blessed on Instagram and use the word 'gosh' when they're usually common as muck

Narcissistic idiots on FB who post a selfie with their mum in the background with a vague 'I love my mom aren't I a bloody wonderful person' type shitty status... fucking tell her! She is BEHIND you!

The shit people put up on the walls of their house like 'dream big princess'

People's cars that run on fairy dust

People who collect things because they have absolutely nothing interesting about them and so invent a 'thing'
"Why do you have so many things in the shape of VW campervans? Is it part of some elaborate dare"
"No, it's my thing..."

People who say "you don't have to be mad to work here but it helps"

I could go on and on forever.

This morning I was reminded of another one. When you order something small online and it turns up in a box the size of a small apartment that now requires a trip to the dump to dispose of it.

Oh ladies, I am home and amongst my people! I'm so pregnant everything is making me rage right now, but I was a pretty rage-ful lady before all this pregnancy SHIT. You have cheered me right up!

Anyone who uses 'lil' eg Love my lil boy. Fuck me, is it too hard to write little?

People calling their babies 'sexy' and documenting their every moment.

I smiled politely at a friend with her PFB when she told me 'When he makes that face, he's having a wee'. I wasn't sure if I should have clapped.

Ditto OP.
May I add to the Fairy Liquid advert - it does not last 50% longer, it lasts TWICE AS LONG. (if your little demo of the two inferior bottles emptying is to be believed) The maths is wrong. Ugh.

Oh, and people who say "I'm a bit mad!"
No, you're not. You are dull.

"Feels" instead of "feelings"

I get all these feels grrrrrrr and tumble there's that blooming song with it in and it's going to get worse!!!

supersop60 mathematical inaccuracies!!!!! "80% of people surveyed agreed that such and such is the dogs bollocks", 80% of 179 ( for example). The maths doesn't work.
And, and, and - the news is particularly bad at this one - "nearly 47 cars were involved in the pile up on the M4." I could understand if it was rounded up to 50, or they said over 40 cars but random numbers? Is it 46 cars, 44, what? Drives me mad.

Maybe its 46 and another had a near miss?

ooh wash - what about "some" 47 cars?

OP I love you for being annoyed at people taking pads and pens into meetings you deem too short

The seemingly endless "light hearted" boring-as-fuck judgy pants threads that just repeat the same old tired crap every time someone starts one

Loud music everywhere. If I go to a restaurant I want to be able to have a conversation with my dining companions, not be forced to listen to the young staffs' shit choice of music at top volume.

Baby on Board/Little Princess on Board/Lilly Mae on Board car stickers. Silly nonsense.

Week long hen parties and weddings that drag on for days. Get over yourselves.

When my boss gives me work to do, she doesn't say "I'm giving this work to you", she says "I'll throw this over the fence to you", for fucks sakes, how wanky is that?

Oh and househunters on programmes like 'Location, Location, Location' referring to houses as 'properties' and wowing about the garden because they can 'just picture themselves sitting out there having a nice glass of wine'.

Yes yes yes so absolutely everything on this thread so far

People selling those wanky 'glitter bottles' for like £20 when they are basically a cheap £4 bottle of plonk and a 50p ikea wine glass covered in glitter.

Everything glittery or pastel coloured being 'unicorn'

When in restaurants they turn down the lights etc and sing happy Birthday full pelt whilst bringing out cake. Yes it's you're birthday, everyone has one, now bore off and eat your chocolate caterpillar

WOW strawb, the comment you made that was deleted (on page 1) got deleted super fast. MN were on the ball last night!

I do agree with a LOT of what you said in your OP, and also some stuff that was posted later.

I also hate PDA's. People all over each other in public, and also people gushing all over their partner on fakebook.

holibobs and famalam pisses me off, but I don't mind hubby or leccy.

HATE prosecco, fizzy over-rated shite, yet people (women usually!) have orgasms over it!

I don't like, get why young people/milennials like, use the word 'like' every few words sometimes either. I mean like, why? I even do this myself sometimes! And I am not a milennial!

Fishing for compliments on twatter/instagram. Putting a pic on and saying 'OMG I am just so ugly,' and waiting for the rush of 'but your so cute hun.' I spelt you're wrong deliberately!

People faffing with coupons at the end of the till! Pisses me off! That's why I like Aldi and Lidl, no coupons, just decent prices.

@Lolabridges Grumpy Old women was brilliant. The books are too!

Adverts for toothpaste/tooth whitener, (how the bollock did she not know oral b made twatting toothpase?!) And that putrid ad for gum disease mouthwash, where they spit in the fucking sink! (Always at bastard shit-housing mealtimes!) And the fucking vi-poo ad. WTAF is THAT about?!

Women aged 20-27 who have botox, collegen, and facial surgery. Every single one, without exception, looks 7-10 years older than their age within five years of having surgical shit done to their face. It's bad enough when it's a middle aged woman, but it's just sad when it's a young woman. And imo, no person who has had plastic surgery done to their face have ever looked younger.

Facebook messages..

'Sooooo pissed off right now.'
'U all right hun?'
'Can't say on here.'

Oh fuck off!

And yes, as someone said, '67.39 % of 56 people agreed! PMSL!

Amazing thread. Thanks @strawberrisc

"Always puts in 110% effort"

100% effort just doesn't sound like enough? Bog off!

I'll tell you what's boiling my piss right now.

When I'm unloading my trolley at supermarket (not Lidl or Aldi, they have their own rules) the shopper behind me starts unloading theirs onto the belt when I'm still unloading.

I have no problems if someone rests a basket on the end (and no, I'm not in Basket Only) . I will usually let a basket shop in front of me providing I'm not already into my shop.

But someone lamped their basket down and started unloading.... I had half a trolley worth still in.

This has happened a few times, no matter if I put my trolley beind me (which is awkward because I have to twist) , beside me or in front of me.

Have I put the Divider down? No.
Why d'you suppose that is?
Because I haven't fucking finished

I really need to slam it down to shit them.

If someone is genuinely unloading because they think I'm done then no probs.
And I once stood very patiently while a woman and her adult son (who has Downs Syndrome) slowly unpacked because he wanted everything put just so with a 4" gap between each item. No problems.

So I;m not Conveyer Belt Police or nothing.

Fifty year old women putting a It's complicated status on their relationship on facebook wtf is wrong with them

Being on holiday in France and being asked about twenty times did i not like a particular food. If its not on my plate then obviously i don't bloody like it or want it. Just stop commenting and asking... family & friends of family. I don't like bloody spicy sausages, tripe etc etc and i will eat baguette til its coming out of my ears because i love it...
So there that felt good ....
