Let's have a ranty thread...

[chocolatelog]

If you need to get something off your chest, rant away here, no matter how big or small 😤

I'll start...

Washing machine broke last week, ordered a new one and it's been sat in the middle of my kitchen since money. Dh is ill with a bug and can't get out of bed to plumb it in for me. Washing pile is approximately 5ft 4inches tall (I know this because it's the same height as me) 😩 I just want a washing machine wahhhhhhhhhh!

These stupid phrases that get constantly used by 'journalists' in the awful rag website that I hate myself for viewing (when bored) -

'commands attention in..' to describe a usually horrible outfit.

'gruelling working' when someone is papped coming out of a gym or in a park. How do you know it was gruelling?!

'enjoys a crafty cig' - is there no other way to say they are smoking?!

dh is a plumber
Guess your screwed then.
Can he really not get up for 5 mins to connect 2 pipes?

My exH dumped his gf of 5 weeks and she's gone bat shit crazy, at me!

No idea why it's somehow my fault but having to deal with crazy woman is doing my head in.

Seriously try the washing machine plumbing ur self. It's easy. Promise.

@Whatsnewpussyhat he's in a bad way. Rolling about in agony on the bed. He's dosed up and trying to sleep. I feel really bad for him.

@Afamat I don't think I could even get it out the packing and off the white foamy things. I had an op last week so don't think I should strain myself 😬

I'd ask my dad but he's on holiday. Db lives 80 miles away. I've hand washed some bits in the bath.

My husband's dead. I have 3 children. All young.

My life is in the shitter and I have had friends tell me they know how I feel...

No you fucking don't Janet on account your husband is not fucking dead.....

Rant not over because it's never that dry cut in real life....

ALannisterInDebt totally agree. Seems these days people just have to be nasty, there's no need for it

@warriorprincessandwidowed sorry to hear that 😔

Just found out my ivf didn't work and have people telling me to keep positive don't be down, and bloody MIL telling me you will just have to "do" it more...... errrr if it was that simple we wouldn't of had to do the ivf

Went to a party at the weekend with two friends, it was DF1's cousins party so full of her family members.

Me and DF1 had quite a lot to drink whilst DF2 drank a bit slower and mostly looked after us all evening.

The party was just starting to end and DF1's Aunt came up to me and snapped "Haven't you booked a taxi yet?? Call yourself DF1's friend!?" - I was just as drunk as DF1.

DF1 goes home with her Aunt who didn't come back to ask if me and DF2 were okay to get home. Then the next day apparently said to DF1's Mother "Oh yeah I didn't give a toss how those two got home"

Not sure what I did to annoy her so much but very irritated by her attitude.

6 months pregs and soooo tired all time... not because of pregnangy but because DH snores. can hear him from spare room.

have googled max jail time for murder.

Yeah, shitty nasty selfish bitchy remarks. I swear there are people who go from thread to thread, name change to name change just to make shitty, nasty or judgy remarks.

I can't help but think, well, you wouldn't do that in real life, neither would anyone else.

Also this whole kneejerk, 'leave the bastard' is almost comical now.

However, there have been some useful, 'catch yourself on' threads or remarks on threads.

Such as the man who lost his job and gave some cock and bull excuse to his partner about getting his brother's phone number and a colleagues phone number mixed up and thought he was shouting at his brother but as actually threatening a colleague.

Or the bloke who persuaded his female partner to have a three in a bed session on more than one occasion. He left her because he felt bad about it which was her fault, apparently. Someone wisely said that he probably enjoyed having a man around during sex but didn't have the courage to admit he was gay.

I’m gonna rant on here as I’ll only be compounding the problem if I add a new post...

All the people that keep posting on AIBU to argue that there shouldn’t be another referendum ‘because democracy’ without either checking facts, educating themselves... or even checking if there is another bloody thread on the topic! Which there are!
And the posters of this site who actually have a brain then need to say the same things over and over again to try and educate the OP. But the OP tells them off for apparently taking away their right to free speech or something equally ridiculous!!

I sold my house to pay husband off as part of our divorce settlement. Bought a new place knowing it needed a bit of work. Fast forward to now and me and DD have spent 8 weeks living with my parents watching the builders slowly destroy and now rebuild our new house. I lost my rag today as the work will be done by the 12th April (finally got a firm date from all trades after weeks of asking) only to find the removal company can't come until the 18th.

I want to cry, swear and punch people. I NEED to move.

I am trying to pull up my big girl pants and just hang on in there for a few more weeks but today it isn't working.

First world not but my dh I swear has turned into victor bloody meldrew overnight

He's moaning about the stupidest of things that don't even affect us
He'd been home from work ten mins on Monday and had moaned about three different things so I told him he'd done nothing but moan in the ten mins he'd been in the door then last night he was the same.
Driving me mad 😡
He actually parked his car really close to the car in the next space because it's a short stay car park where we live and this particular cars been there for a week,not that it makes any difference to dh as it's not a small car park in the city

I don't actually know what's happened to him the last couple of weeks.
I told him last night he's turning into victor meldrew,a proper fun sucker.

I'm glad to get out and about without him for some breathing space

Hope this isn't the sign of things that come with age or il be divorcing him on the grounds of being a twat before long

I'm new to mumsnet and I can't believe some of the keyboard warrior posts to people they don't know and have never and will never meet (which is why I guess they act like dicks behind a screen). Some responses I am like WTAF?!

'I gave my kids crisps for breakfast' - You are a MONSTER.
'My husband snores all night and doesn't take the bin out' - leave him IMMEDIATELY. Okay slight OTT but you get my drift.

Other noticeable thing is how many women are in really shit relationships or are getting treated really really badly/are getting screwed over. It makes me doubt if there are any decent guys left for my late 30s/single for a while self!

My depression is really bad. Not showered, washed or got out of pjs. Keep trying to jolly myself along. Hate myself for my weight too. Then ate Maltesers for breakfast, cos fuck it. My back keeps going into spasm, so been on codydramol & diazepam. Waiting for mri for knee. Didn't go to breast clinic or for brain mri as I honestly don't fucking care.

And feel so ashamed for posting this as it's fucking ridiculous. I should post in AIBU just to get a kicking from that lot.

DH has really fucked me off. We're moving in three weeks, and turned around and said he's on a course for three weeks, which totally fucks up our childcare means I'm going to need to use emergency childcare again, which means whatever I earn this month is going towards that because he's got no spare cash (to be fair he's had to pay a lot towards the move, he'll eventually get it back from work ) but it's really annoyed me. That money was to tide me over till I got a new job lined up.
It also means I'm managing the move, and the toddler on my own.

Aforementioned toddler has been teething for weeks - he's all shits and giggles during the day when he's distracted, but sleep is not something any of us remember. I need him to sleep. Even one one hour nap would give me time to start packing or working.

And the icing on the cake, we had our pre March our meeting this morning. Despite the fact that they are ripping up the carpets, putting in new doors, windows, kitchen, bathroom and painting top to bottom - I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A MARCH OUT CLEAN AT £320 WHY? WHATS THE POINT? THEY'RE JUST GOING TO PUT HALF OF WHAT I GET CLEANED IN A SKIP. I was told to do the clean myself if it bothered me that much. Which of course is totally an option on my own, traveling 8 hours in one day with DS to clean

Also. On a job application today I was asked one question, what is my favourite film and why. Nothing relevant at all and it's made me rage for some reason

OH THANK GOD.

The woman opposite me at work has been counting down to her holiday for over 100 days so far. Every. Single. Day.

She interrupts me constantly to tell me inane things about her boyfriend that I really don't care about. I started a thread about her a while ago because I find her so unbelievably annoying but it has not quelled the rage

My friend and me both have sons with Sen at the same school. We both have issues with the school and we’ve gone to court over a particular issue and won. Friend is very vocal on how bad she feels they are and yet an anonymous questionnaire is sent out about the school and she doesn’t fill it in. She’s now seemingly dropped me. It seems she was quite happy for me to press the issues but not stand up herself. I’m cross but hurt and disappointed as well.

I fucking hate the weekly payment run.
It's bad enough doing it.....have to correct sw mistakes or omissions plus many other complex tasks. Mainly to compensate for other's incompetency or laziness.
But the real pisser is the 2 senior managers who can authorise. One cba to get a log in/ learn how to authorise (It's part of her fucking job). The other sits back, grunts, and expects us to take over her mouse and do it. Lazy bitch.
Both of these toe rags are new, unable to make any decision or authorise payment runs. Wtf is their purpose?
Dd needs mri. Consultant agreed both legs....letter is here, app booked for 1 leg.ffs.
Amex has taken money for travel insurance......that i know nothing of and do not need.
Can't rant more as it's too outing.

Due in 4 weeks, wish he was just here. DS1 is only 13 months, so I'm exhausted running around after him. Plus, can't sleep due to awful heartburn through the night.

Laundry baskets are full, washing machine and dryer, both full and clean washing baskets... full. Can I be arsed? Will DP do anything about it? Am I going to do anything about it? Nope, nope and NOPE... trying to stay positive ✌🏼😂

Well my little washing machine rant sounds pathetic to what some of you are going through 🙈 so sorry to hear that yous are struggling atm. I'll have more rants to come once the 3 teenagers return 🙈

On another note I tried to plumb the washing machine myself. And got soaked. I undid a round thing and water flew out into my face 😬 drenching all inside the cupboard!

Oh. And I'm thinking of starting a bin thread. My fucking useless neighbours could well get a fucking earful today. BINS!

@chocolatelog you need to close that pipe before you attach / detach any pipes. It should have a small lever thing. You turn it til it's at 90 degrees to pipe. Hope that helps.

My brother died, my relationship with DP ended; had to sell our house, relocate and been trying to find a job for months. Lots of unsuccessful interviews. Feeling old, fat, ugly, shit and deeply sad.

Been trying to complete on a piece of land for the past 4 months so that I can build a tiny bungalow - it's the only way I can afford a place of my own.
