I’m so irritated!

I’m so cross. I don’t know why I’m angry, I just am.
When you’re in an irritable mood, what stupid things have made you burn up inside?

I’ve just been flicking through Instagram. Why the fuck do women do a claw hand to show off new nails? Just put the hand flat and take a picture of the bastards if you really must. The claw hand makes me so mad. It’s so ugly!!
Duck faces. Why do women (and sometimes blokes!) pull a “blow up doll” face for the camera? I’m not taking about the original duck face, I’m taking about the slightly opened mouth version that literally resembles a blow up doll. It’s horrendous and the opposite of attractive.

What sets you off if you’re already close to the edge?

OMGithurts · 15/02/2019 15:49

LaurieFairyCake take your food off your tray and smack her with it.

My husband being late home so I can go and get my hair cut! I hate being late and he has made 10 mins late already Angry so very selfish!!

Nothinglefttochoose · 15/02/2019 17:15

People complaining how tired, busy, stressed they are when they either don’t work, don’t have children or both! How can you possibly be??!! Drives me insane.

PurplePepperEater · 15/02/2019 17:19

Why?
Why though?
But why?
Why Mum?
Why?
Yeah but why?

Because it just fucking is!!!!!!

FromDespairToHere · 15/02/2019 17:26

I am 43. When I may my hand out flat my fingers look very wrinkly and ugly. When I do what you call the claw hand it stretches the skin and I'm beautiful again.

hopeful31yrs · 15/02/2019 17:27

People eating. Noisily. Every time.

Klopptimist · 15/02/2019 17:34

I can handle the duck face and the claw hand. I can manage not to pass comment on the ears, the stars and the floral headbands. But those bloody animal noses, Christ almighty! Do you not realise it looks like a blob of shite on the end of your snozz?

Elephantina · 15/02/2019 17:40

The injustice. The bloody injustice of everything. I want to shout BUT WHAT ABOUT ME, YOU'RE NOT BETTER THAN ME like a four year old, but I can't because I am a tolerant adult living a real life.

ToffeePennie · 15/02/2019 18:16

Listening to a full day of total inannity/nonsense conversation from my 4 year old.
The baby’s ear splitting screaming.
“How much more do I need to eat?”
Pathetic whining. “I realllllllly wanted ice cream” followed by crocodile tears.
Coming home and finding my husband hasn’t done ANYTING, but somehow he’s managed to play red dead redemption 2 during his lunch break.
My 4 year old constantly coughing. He doesn’t actually need to cough, its a verbal tick, but after a day of it I’m ready to snap.
PD DAYS.
Need I say more....?

Frlrlrubert · 15/02/2019 18:18

At home: mummy, mummy, muuuummmmmmeeeeeee.

At work: Miss, Miss, miiiiissssssss.

LikeACowsOpinion · 15/02/2019 18:35

Another one for 'mummy, mummy, mummy'

Also:

  • People walking around talking on their phones ON LOUDSPEAKER.
The only person who cares about your call is you, put it to your ear like a normal person!
  • People deciding to talk to the cashier once they've paid for their shopping. Nope, I'm just standing here for the good of my (not-so-great) health, you carry on chatting.
  • People who bash their trolleys into you and then throw dirty looks because you dared to be in their vicinity.
  • My local supermarket stocking £10 toys right by the checkout.

I went shopping today. I was in lots of pain. DD wanted toys.
It did not go well.

Thequaffle · 15/02/2019 18:40

Don’t need to have children to be tired / busy / stressed.

Sandsnake · 15/02/2019 18:41

People are talking on the train. Quite loudly. On the way home from work. I’m an irritable fuck who thinks talking on the train should be a hate crime. Gin

I was sitting next to a lady yesterday who was stroking the bare arm of her approx 5 year old daughter. Repeatedly. Over and over. Back and forth. For about 20 mins. It made my toes curl. Even writing this has made me angry. Aaah.

I actually had to turn away so I couldn't see her.

Aridane · 15/02/2019 19:30

OP- you just need to soldier on Grin

HeckinHell · 15/02/2019 19:36

People who only post photos of themselves on social media with those fucking dog snapchat filters. Especially when they’re in their 30s.
(I swear if I saw the main culprit for this on the street I’d no longer even recognise her without her oversized sparkly eyes, tiny dot for a nose and bloody animal ears...)

Bigonesmallone3 · 15/02/2019 19:40

Did anyone else do the mouth as they were reading the op?

Just me then 😂

STUPID keyboard at work that will not work. I have to bash the return key to make the thing work and even then it doesn't!!! Then get told I'm a distraction and then get snapped at for everything. Tried explaining and either they don't believe me or don't understand. Asked for new keyboard. Not holding breath.

Buses. Kids on buses who scream. One long scream. Whilst parents dick about on phones.

People who watch videos on phones with sound on so we're all forced to listen to crap.

Period pain.

No sleep.

Crap work day.

10 hours of it today.

Spent an hour in literal tears.

Hacked off.

Drogosnextwife · 15/02/2019 19:55

Every fucking thing is irritating me today. Especially fucking dp. I might have to kill him.

Bluespirit17 · 15/02/2019 20:01

dudsville · 15/02/2019 20:05
