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?

"Spilling your ONLY glass of wine"

I suggest more prudent planning of wine stocks to insure this nightmare scenario never happens.

Waking up at 2:00am with indigestion, realising you don't have antacids in your bedside draw. Get up, go down to kitchen and wonder why there are non in the cupboard with the rest of the medicines/plasters/creams & unguents when you can clearly remember buying a new packet a few days before.
Realise they are still in the car, in the garage, across the yard and its raining and you are stood there in slippers and pants . . .

Walking round the house in socks and stepping something wet and cold...and unidentifiable

Stumbling downstairs first in the morning and stepping in a pile of catspew.

The sound of my toddlers fork hitting the floor...for the five millionth time that meal.

And yes to the sheets - soul destroying.

Wearing a nice black top, just think that I'll bleach the sink and surrounding area before work, lean over... get to work and colleagues say "You've got that weird brown line on your top, March. Have you been bleaching again?" I've lost count of how many tops I've had to shove into the machine with a black Dylon to restore them.

Going to have a nice sit down with a bit of the secret stash of chocolate, but one of your son's found it first

Going to put the armful of washing in the dryer to find you forgot to take out yesterdays load and it's all bloody crumpled now

Finally sit down, wanting a bit of peace to watch some recorded nonsense and the phone/doorbell rings

Going into a store for a specific item and coming home without it. Best so far is arrive in local area at 2.15 am after delayed flight from Gatwick, having DH take detour to all night supermarket, must have milk for cuppa before bed and for breakfast. Came out with a basketful of stuff - no milk. Grrrrh. Cannot describe the noises DH made in the house on discovering this.

Having cold feet in bed which you know will prevent you from reaching deep sleep but being too tired to do anything about it.

Trying to have an afternoon nap when everyone decides to phone or knock at the door “l don’t have ppi!”

Car alarms and house alarms going off during the night. Everyone ignores them.

Going blind despite being repeatedly by the optometrist that my eyes are fine...o read the title as 'Minor infants that actually crawl'.

Going to Starbucks and they forget to put your syrup in.

Needing exact change for the bus, having to traipse to cash machine first to get money then go and buy something to get the change from a tenner. Then realising you have miscalculated and you now have slightly less change than you need.

Standing up from the office loo and pulling on your trousers to find the back of your legs are all wet

Leaving a pot of tea to brew for ten minutes then pouring a cup of hot water onto milk because I forgot to put the tea bags in. Sometimes I don't have the heart to make a fresh pot because I am so disappointed.

Putting a cake in the oven and then finding an ingredient you forgot on the worktop.

Going to empty the dishwasher and finding it hasn’t run.

Reaching down to pick up the last quarter of your sandwich and finding that you have already eaten it.

Waking up on Saturday morning when it is, in fact, Friday.

Getting out of a lovely warm bath/shower all squeaky clean and realising you need a poo

Getting a hole in the toe of your tights that then clamps itself around your big toe to the point it's cutting off the circulation and it always finds its way back there no matter how many times you adjust it during the day.

People who know the exact night shift pattern you work and it's associated sleep pattern, who ring in the middle of the day and sound surprised that you were asleep.

And, connected to this, waiting all day for an important phone call, only to discover you missed it, because you forgot to turn the ringer back on because of the above.

Someone getting cross, because they get your answering machine, instead of you (same person again).

Same person refusing to answer their phone for days, because they just don't feel like it (everyone has the right to do this, it's just irritating when it's someone who leaves stroppy messages on the answering machine because they think you are ignoring them quite often I was).

When you think you've cancelled a hotel reservation online within the appropriate cancellation period so you won't be charged a cancellation fee, but your fucking Wi-Fi went down again at the precise moment you pressed the 'cancellation' button, only you didn't realise because you just walked away from the laptop thinking all was fine. So you get charged the full rate of a stay you never attended after spending an hour arguing with both the hotel and the booking website that I had cancelled, only to remember I didn't actually receive a cancellation confirmation so I should've cottoned on earlier

Stupid fucking Wi-Fi

@OrianaBanana I hate that!!!

When your DH has been on late shifts for the last few days and you're looking forward to seeing him in the evening and spending some time together but he's just tired, a bit sullen and no fun.

When someone you only vaguely know sits next to you on the bus/is going your way when walking somewhere.

Hearing the neighbours shagging when you can't remember the last time you got nailed!

Srush86, this has happened to me 4 times in the last 2 days, I get up at stupid o'clock, do my work, come home, take the woofer out, tidy up, prep dinner and then think I'll have 40 winks, just nodding off and the door bell rings, not only that but they batter fuck out of the letter box, do they think that makes me anxious to answer the door, does it fuck!! Go annoy someone else double glazing salesperson, gas and electricity switchers and anyone else who comes to my house door uninvited..... Breathe!!!!

The underwire of an until now fine bra just jab jab jabbing away for no apparent reason. All day.

Sitting down in the evening with a glass of wine and hearing a squeak via the baby monitor just as your bum hits the seat... 😖
