Minor irritants that are actually awful.

[CredulousThickos]

Going to bed to discover you stripped the sheets earlier and failed to remake the bed.

Running a fabulous bubble bath and realising it’s run cold.

Waking up feeling crappy and remembering you oven-prided the oven yesterday in a fit of domesticated goddessing and you have to deal with it today.

Spilling your only glass of wine.

Making toast and then realising someone’s used the last of the butter and put it back in the fridge.

Day ruiners, all of these.

AIBU?

My friends recent one was getting a Chinese takeaway, putting it on a plate and before even taking a mouthful dropping the plate spilling the whole lot on the floor.

Waking up an hour before you need to and not being able to go back to sleep.
When the child wakes up before you need to and praying all day for a nap you'll never get.
Forgetting to buy milk the day before thus having to start your day before caffine.
Coming downstairs to he remnants of DH midnight snacking all through the house (and no food left for breakfast).
Not getting to finish the morning coffee.
Waking up and realising, same shit - different day

Brushing my teeth and getting toothpaste on a dark top. No amount of dabbing will remove.

Washing hands and getting my sleeves wet. Can’t stand the wet against my wrists.

Going in the bathroom in freshly stockinged feet and treading on a spec of water.

This thread is summing up my mood today.

I will add waking up several hours before you need to and being unable to go back to sleep, when it's your only opportunity for a lie in for weeks. Bonus points if you wake up before hangover has gained full power.

Grabbing your phone to leave the house for the day and realising someone switched the charger off at the wall and you have 7% battery remaining.

Checking in on your fast-asleep toddler to find their nappy’s leaked and they’re covered in piss

Stumbling into the bathroom half asleep to start a bath running while you go back to bed for a snooze to find your husband left it full of garishly coloured toys when he did bath time last night 😧

Washing hands and getting my sleeves wet. Can’t stand the wet against my wrists

Shudder.

All morning I have been cleaning the house to perfection it was a shit prior. Sat down to enjoy a lovely lunch in my sparkling house. Within seconds a man came to read the gas meter interrupting my lunch and walking footprints across my newly cleaned floor. Twas annoying.

Ironing a new top but forgetting to adjust the dial thus creating a massive fucking hole.... Then having a meltdown because you're due to leave for work with no new top on 😭😭

Getting home for a rare afternoon off and realising that your selfish bastard neighbours have gone out and left the dog outside barking.

Looking forward to watching your young child singing and speaking in the Harvest Festival at school, only to have a SCREAMING baby ruin the whole thing I mean, 30 mins of a baby crying and screaming. So fucking annoying

You nailed it with your first point OP. DH will often strip the bed and put the sheets in the wash then claim to have changed the bedsheets. No you haven't!! At best you've done half a job and thought I'd do the shitty half, no way Pedro, not on my watch, get in on here and help me wrestle this duvet into the cover.

-Discovering the only cash point for miles around is out of order (or that it's one of those ones you have to pay to draw money from).
-Running for the bus and just missing it.
-Realising all your packs of painkillers are empty and you have a splitting headache.
-Family coming round earlier than expected and you're still in a towel and flat is a pigsty and you haven't had a chance to have caffeine yet.
-Getting a library fine as you forgot to renew books the day before.

Getting in the perfect bath , in a beautifully clean bathroom - to find all the towels are in the airing cupboard , at the other end of the landing . In the cold .

Bad night, followed by an early morning, and I've promised myself a nap between 9 and 10. Every fucking time the nap materialises, somebody will decide it's past 9am and therefore no longer too early to ring me up on the frigging landline. I'll either be too annoyed about the interruption to go back to sleep if the reason for the call is trivial, or too anxious if it's important.

Half way through your shower and finding out someone finished he shampoo/conditioner/shower gel and put the empty bottle back.

And there’s nobody home.... which bring you to ‘wet bath mat’.

Sitting down on the bus/train for a long journey with an excellent book to read, and having some arsehole decide to sit next to you and bend your ear about their completely fucking tedious life. Even if you ask them politely to leave you alone, you won't be able to read for all the tutting and huffing and fidgeting and loud remarks about how 'unfriendly' people are these days.

Hanging out the laundry wondering why it’s actually quite dry.... oh yeah, I forgot to switch the machine on!

YY to waking up before hangover has taken full grip... Waking up thinking you have escaped the hangover only to realise when you are making a coffee that you are in fact still drunk

Getting into a lovely bubble bath and then needing a wee.

Losing the trolley token and then not having a pound coin so having to exchange cash at the till. So time wasting!

This makes me think of the Alana Morisett song

Agree to them all! and add, putting the coffee on in the morning and realise that you haven't actually put the coffee in the stupid espresso maker and having to do it all again

Or put a pan on for boiling eggs, put the timer on for 5 minutes and after the 5 minutes realise you haven't put the eggs in the sodding water

Done both this week

Pouring the kettle onto your teabag for first brew of the day only to find you gadn't switched the kettle on in the first place.
I have also taken washing out of the macine only to find i hadn't switched it on in the first place

Watching a film till late, then realising you didn’t put the emersion on beforehand. (I sleep much better after a warm bath - luckily in the last year we’ve had a shower and it’s better than nothing.

Getting to bedtime and finding the milk’s all gone - or not enough for cocoa. Usually happens when student sons home for a visit. They drink it in cup fulls which l don’t.

I can’t think of any others. The bedding one happens to me too.

* Ironing a new top but forgetting to adjust the dial thus creating a massive fucking hole.... Then having a meltdown because you're due to leave for work with no new top on* 😭😭

I had no idea this was a thing! I melted a top for the first time last night because the dial was turned up a bit too high.

Getting to work and realising you forgot to bring something desperately need to make coffee and you have a full day with after hours meeting too and a long drive home.

Getting to the door just as the postman/yodel chap decides to run get back in their van and bugger off leaving you playing days of when-will-my-parcel-arrive, even though you took today specifically at home to receive said parcel.
