I'm working from home. In the middle of some very urgent work that requires my concentration also in the middle of a migraine oh the joy. My otherwise very nice opposite neighbour is sitting in his car outside his house taking a business call. The volume has got to be literally on full. I feel like screaming! It's going on, and on, and on. I'm like - dude your house is literally next to you. Go inside and take the call properly. Don't spend half an hour blasting the neighbourhood with intermittent, muffled sound. All my windows are closed btw so that's just how loud it is.
He's actually SO nice (so is his wife) that I don't want to go and say anything I'm a complete wimp. This just makes it MORE annoying.

My boss keeps interrupting me when I'm trying to talk to other colleagues. He appears to think I am currently incapable of functioning normally as I'm pregnant and due to finish on mat leave in 3 weeks. I might strangle him before then. Twat.

Accidentally breaking my last tailor made cigarette!

It’s ok though I patched it up 🤗

Extremely well behaved Greyhound decided to rebel today, son got a delivery, husband left it on the coffee table and went to work, I came home from work to find she had shredded the jiffy bag, hadn't damaged the book just the bag!!

The fucking dog, she's a huge almost 8mo Doberman puppy who isn't aware of her size and strength, is way too fucking hyper!

The knobhead managed to headbutt me on the base of my skull! Now I have swollen, mega painful lump there and am in agony, head/back/shoulder ache and it hurts like a fucking butch to move my head.

The dog is bloody lucky she's pretty!

Had a real user name - tried to change it ages ago, realised I'd no idea what my original password was but then couldn't revert. Every now and again I think it can't be that hard to set up a new name but hey, here I am, wearing my 'user 123...' badge.

There are people shooting an ad or something outside my house. (Just to note no notice of this was given. They arrived this morning and there's about 40 of them standing around on the road).

Coming back from playschool pick-up, I was walking down the road with DS1 (age 3) holding my hand and DS2 (19mo) in the buggy, only to be met with "ok camera, and- OHFORFUCKSSAKE!!" when I turned into my own drive- and obviously got in their oh-so-important shot.

Dicks! Angry

People who see racism in a fucking eye shadow palette.

John Lewis sent me a mirror missing its wall fixings. Didn't send out the missing wall fixings within 48 hours as promised.

When I called up again they refused my suggestion that I buy screws and they refund me. Instead insisting on sending new mirror out.

When I pointed out that it's a hassel to return old mirror, they said I can keep it! So rather than pay £5 for me to get some screws, they are paying for postage and giving me a free £50 mirror. I wonder how they make any profit. Confused

I had to go to Ikea

Lionroar · 28/09/2017 15:08

I dropped my last hershes buttercup in a puddle this morning, thoroughly pissed me off.

Stupid woman in my office who does the most annoying finger waggle going uh uh uh when she means, don't do that, it is a accompanied by an equally annoying bum waggle. It's like she thinks she's telling off children, todays indiscretion that got a finger/bum waggle was me putting the roll of labels back in the wrong place arggggg.

Lemond1fficult · 28/09/2017 15:11

My cat is eating my hair as I lie here, with a cold compress pressed to my itchy swollen cheek. She's eating my hair because I haven't fed her.

Except I have fed her. Twice. I've even changed her bowl. But she's just sniffed the lovely fresh fish and sadly picked at her dry food. She is a dickhead.

timeisnotaline · 28/09/2017 15:11

We live in the usual tiny london flat, jam packed with toys and clothes for ds. Sil said' oh please could you keep our packed cabin bag of extra stuff for mil to take home to our home country when they visit' which is in 9 months! Actuallu it's longer because they don't know I'm expecting a baby then so will have to change dates. I want to say you have to mail your stuff if you want to hang onto it. We have nowhere to put it.

timeisnotaline · 28/09/2017 15:12

@maisiedotes, that would probably make my day Grin

monkeymamma · 28/09/2017 15:12

Oh my WORD there are some excellent sore points here. Flowers for you ALL and thank you for sharing!

When I got to the top of the house I was even MORE pissed off cos the wifi wouldn't work up there! I'm back in my kitchen and Noisy Man has gone. Presumably off to the office to sit on some even more top-level phone convos. (Ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.)

Called my GP, wanted to get an appointment. Talked to a receptionist who informed me they have no free slots so I need to call early morning to get one.
While I was telling her to give me one for Monday, she hung up. I was pissed off. First World Problem but yeah, I was fuming.

BewareOfTheToddler · 28/09/2017 15:15

My Asda delivery turned up the minute I'd made my lunchtime omelette, which was an hour after I wanted it thanks to DS being reluctant to nap. Then they didn't bring the giant pack of Pampers which was half the point of the order in the first place.

On the plus side, they did bring the biscuits I ordered, as well as everything else, I've just eaten a doughnut and DS is still asleep so a good afternoon overall Grin

The potato salad I had with my lunch wasn't very nice

Clandestino · 28/09/2017 15:16

Oh, and my older cat brought himself a mouse to play with during the night and then lost the mouse in the living room. TBH, I blame my DH who is totally inept as a cat assistant and doesn't know the dynamics of cat hunting. I'm a pro who always catches the mouse but he's just standing there and telling the cat to bring the mouse outside. Right. Then he brings the biggest and clumsiest box possible to chase the mouse into.

Dustbunny1900 · 28/09/2017 15:17

My friend who insists on telling me over and over at every opportunity about the fact her ten years old son is "at a Seventh grade math level, so I'm sure he's very bored in school " that's maybe a year or two ahead of the grade he's in now. Also "he has an iq of 140!" Or whatever the fuck. Thank you, we get it. He's "gifted" in math.
Oh and about how he's very eager to get back to listening to his "books on tape" because he's such a "bookworm" and so intellectual

cjt110 · 28/09/2017 15:18

My boss - who is a stickler for pecedure following - complaining that someone has followed procedure and pissed a customer off. even saying they should have deviated from the process....

BlackeyedSusan · 28/09/2017 15:19

the recyling from all the falts is sitting outside as the council have buggered up their new system of everyother week collections.

water company have closed the road..without warning. this was very annoying when I had to drive on the pavement to get round the road closed sign.. (we are in the middle of the closure but could not see it was closed when turning out of our property.. the first I knew was encountering the back of the signs blocking the road. )

someone though has been out adjusting the signs as everytime I go in or out they have moved, and they have even moved the barriers around the hole so they are teetering on the edge...

I shall be less than impressed though if next time I go out and some poor sod is one wheel down the hole!

thecolonelbumminganugget · 28/09/2017 15:19

I had to drive round the one way system in our staff car park the wrong way because the exit was blocked off by a barrier where some building repairs were taking place. As I drove round the other side of the building someone on their break pointed at me and make gestures at me, clearly having a go about me driving the wrong t way to the person they were standing with.

Fuck off! The road is entirely blocked off the other way, come home time you will have to do this too you bell end!!

wanderings · 28/09/2017 15:21

Those fucking students next door (see my thread on it) talking loudly at 3:30am, so much that I could hear the actual words. I couldn't sleep again until 4:30am.
