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.

A flea just jumped in my tea :(

Just as I went to drink it.

Driving no onto my little cul-de-sac and there are four youths in hoodies milling round and dozens of the little fruit that grows on the shared green all over. They have evidently been chucking it at the houses. One neighbour said they'd thrown it at her car. There were fruits all up the drives of several houses. I absolutely bollocked their arses, strict teacher style. They can't have been out of school more than an hour.

There was a woman taking pictures of them before I spoke to them. She said they weren't doing anything wrong. So why take pictures and where had the fruit come from? They're on my dashcam if anything happens to my car!

I went for a walk this evening with my OH and DD. Went to brush a leaf off my shoe, thought "hmmm that was a bit soggy" and then quickly concluded that it was stuck to my shoe with dog shit! Yes, my hand then smelt of dog do for the duration of our walk. If you have a dog and it defecates whilst you're taking it for a walk then clean it up FFS! 🤢😖

DH and FIL pithering before leaving the house, because I was desperate for a poo. You know when people say goodbye 3-4 times before leaving Blush

Someone was pulling their child on one of those suitcase things, at Paddington, during rush hour. It had a really long lead.

Monkey i wamdrr if that was my DH? He does this too and in another language! I have to go out open the door and turn it down! I can hear it pulling into the drive! I feel for the neighbours. He didnt believe me it wad that loud so i repeated some of the convo back to him from when i was on the house! He doesnt do it any more now! He just shouts on the phone inside instrad! Dude i know they are in another country but you dont need to shout down the phone! Thats not how it works!

Someone in work implied that I had lied about something trivial. I hadn't. The person and issue aren't important, very trivial stuff but really pissed me off.

This is very trivial. Made some toast at breakfast, DS did a big poo just as I was about to eat it. It was cold and manky by the time I got to sit down so I made a new hot slice which DD then stole off me. I was tired after a bad night with the baby and being denied nice hot toast started the day off on the wrong foot.

Tesco moving stock around the store. I don't want to go to the usual place and find a sign saying 'the item you want is now two aisles away'. They are the worst for this, it just makes me buy the item in another supermarket when I know where it is!

Got back from DD's maths lesson, the electricity went off. A fuse had blown wherever we get our electricity supply from, it's only just come back on. I slightly burnt my thumb trying to light the oven with a lighter.
