IABU. Unreasonable and I know it.

I am just so fucking irritated at the moment. Everything is grinding my gears. DD's constant fucking exercising, DS leaving his shit everywhere, DH's following me around and just fucking breathing everywhere.
I am being a model of kindness and tolerance but I do wish every bastard one of them would fuck off.

And face timing my DGM97 every day at exactly 6pm to watch her slowly lose her shit (she's been in lockdown for 6 weeks already) and become unkempt is horrendous. Arguing with her for hours about politics (she lives for these debates and asks for robust challenging - good for her mh she says) is exhausting. I just want to lie down, I don't care what Mark fucking Steel is saying today - he can get fucked too.

My mean GD97 who has been living in isolation for 40 years and never wanted a visit or call but suddenly needs the warmth and kindness of his family - well the women in his family, and I am especially sought after as the busiest person. Fuck you mean old man, you are alone for a reason! you made your miserable lonely bed now lie in it!

My normally sane DM is in full lunatic mode, needing constant love and reassurance, leave me alone! I am your child! What about me! Why not rind one of my many bastarding twat brothers. And stop cooking for 12-18 people - there are only 2 of you there - that's why you're getting so fat - not stress hormones.

My tribe of idiot brothers who all refused to accept there was any problem and spouted full Trump rhetoric until my DGM's neighbour died and then had massive mantrums demanding I send them all food. Get fucked!
.
I love these people so very much. I also loved my small business and working, and being on my own a bit. I care so much, but I want a break and a vent. So here, in the safety of MN, I will tell them all to get fucked.

Thank you, I feel so much better now.

@Willowmelangell ahhh!! Yeah sadly he's not that bright! Just wats to go thru whichever door is shut 🙄

Morporkia · 19/04/2020 15:02

Well. Yesterday when I was lying in bed pretending to be asleep he made me hot dogs and yes he fried onions and even heated up the bread rolls, because he knows I like them like that.and let me have the last of the yellow mustard then gave me his last mr Kipling chocolate cake bar. I think he realised his existence was getting on my tits. I have forgiven him for existing. Because I am a nice person. 😂😂😂

spikeypurpleone · 19/04/2020 15:33

DH and his bastard shadow are bringing new levels of rage. I’ve worked my arse off all day stuck indoors and now I just want to sit in the sunshine. Can I do that? Can I fuck. Massive garden, minimal shade but he chooses to keep walking in front of my recliner instead and getting his shadow all over me.

How hard is it to turn off a tap?

I've been nagging DP about handwashing. Every time I go in the bathroom, the dripping so rapidly that it's almost a trickle. He does the same in the kitchen, too, so every time he's washed his hands/filled the kettle/had a drink of water, he comes back in and sits down and 5 seconds later I have to get up, go in the kitchen and turn the fucking tap off.

It's his birthday today. He may not be getting another one.

Oh, and the Signature Lasagne aftermath was mainly contained to the hob, but so comprehensive I had to take the knobs off to clean the cack from underneath them. He must have put ragu in a syringe and squirted it into the 2mm gap under each one.

trappedsincesundaymorn · 19/04/2020 16:16

If I have to tell him to move out of the way one more fucking time I will crack his skull open with the pan I was trying to put down whilst he stood in the way, just fucking stood there....MOVE for the love of my sanity MOOOOOVVVVVEEE OUT THE FUCKING WAY!!!!

MinnieMountain · 19/04/2020 16:21

I highly recommend becoming a school governor. I've just realised that our meetings now involve me being shut in a room BY MYSELF for 2 hours during supper and bedtime. Plus I get to fiddle around on my laptop "looking at important school stuff."

Hopefulmidwife · 19/04/2020 16:25

I haven't read the whole thread but if you're still ranting....I'm getting sick of DP moaning we don't have a garden and live in a flat. I am fucking aware!! I live here too!! Stop taking your shit out on me when it's not my fault 😠

RabbityMcRabbit · 19/04/2020 16:28

DD asking if her boyfriend can come over each morning is also enjoyable 🙄 if I'm not getting any dick, neither are you missy!
@Carriebreadshaw, that actually made me snort with laughter, thank you!Grin

I haven't read the whole thread but if you're still ranting....

I think the ranting will go on until well after lockdown ends!

CharlieTangoBanana · 19/04/2020 17:02

Fantastic thread op but I just came on to say that my neighbours can fuck off to the far side of fuck, why they all have to talk to their dog in a high pitched sing song voice is totally beyond me. They are never going to train the dog to crap in one fucking place for their convenience, before the pandemic the dog owned the fucking garden and likes to shit on the lawn, patio, between the goal posts and on the nice plastic bit at the bottom of the slide. He's never going to shit on the square patch you have designated as his toilet and why you have to shout "GO FOR A POP KNOBDOG” is totally fucking beyond me what's wrong with poo or dump or shit for that matter. Just teach your kids to pick the poo up instead of treading in it, sliding onto it or fucking diving headfirst through it when saving a goal it would be much easier than trying to train knobdog.

Gosh that was jolly cathartic

Hangingwithmygnomies · 19/04/2020 17:05

Oh can I join pleeeeaase?!
I am sick to the back teeth of DH moaning about the "utter crap" that the children want to watch on TV or the fucking Youtube cretins that seem to be popular with children these days, when I have to put up with him watching yet another car resotoration video on Youtube by a grown up Youtube cretin - he fails to see the irony 🙄 Nor do I want to come and sit and have yet another fucking cuddle on the sofa when I am sick of people being in my space all sodding day!!! Yes Mother, I'm fully fucking aware that everyone is in this situation and is not really different from your normal life as you've become an agrophobic hermit, but it is very different from my normal life and I want everyone to fuck off right now and let me go to fucking toilet in peace!!

OwlBeThere · 19/04/2020 17:09

My mother is carrying on like she isn’t capable of walking because she’s shielding, she is, she just wants me to do everything including asking me the day after I already did a food shop for 3 households and asked her fifty million times if she wanted anything that she NEEDS the most random shit ever and then sulks when I refuse to queue for 50 mins for those things (I have early stage MS and crohns so it’s no easy feat!).
My teenagers are nocturnal and moody.
My ex keeps turning up with junk food I do not want, need or have room for.
And all the doomsdayers who are saying this is it for the next 1/2/12 years/forever can also just fuck up.

OwlBeThere · 19/04/2020 17:11

@CharlieTangoBanana knobdog has made my laugh my head off for the first time today, so thanks for that!

mbosnz · 19/04/2020 17:19

If I ever get a dog, it's going to be called knobdog. . .

TheEighthHorcrux · 19/04/2020 17:21

I haven't read the whole thread but please can I join in?

I'm sick of cleaning and tidying the same things up over and over again every single day. I'm sick of constantly thinking about what I'm going to cook or prepare next. I'm sick of trying to work while my husband lays on the sofa and ignores 4yr old DD.

I'm fed up of FaceTime, Skype, Duo, Zoom. If I have to watch Wreck it Ralph or Tangled or Frozen 2 again, or be a human climbing frame anymore I'm going to scream.

Everyone seems to just take, take, take at the moment. I haven't left the house properly in a month, and if I decide I want to go for a walk alone OF COURSE everyone has to come. I want to go shopping and buy what I want instead of other half insisting on going in the car, refusing a list and buying all sorts of random SHITE you can't even make a meal out of.

Blah. I feel for everyone on this thread, I really do Gin

OldLace · 19/04/2020 18:08

Can I rant about lack of contact too?

So, dear grandparents, who have barely bothered to lift the phone or email for the last 4+ years due to general selfishness, but now would like me to arrange Tesco delivery slots etc from 300m away.
Fine, I'll do it, even tho one of you is an ExH grandparent (and literally has not made any contact for 4 years, during house moves, operations, diagnosis etc) and both sets have the family 'golden child' living within 10miles of them. I will do it, but Christ alive I will remember you've not even fucking asked about either of your disabled grandchildren.

Ethelfleda · 19/04/2020 18:23

It was cathartic just reading that post, OP. I applaud you.
I too would like to tell some people to fuck the piss off. Luckily none that I live with apart from my two year old sometimes

Ethelfleda · 19/04/2020 18:26

You are my people.
I’m sick of hearing ‘well, there are people worse off that you’

StCharlotte · 19/04/2020 18:51

If anyone is in or near East Sussex and fancies some lasagne, a handover could be arranged....

Thanks but you said it was a bit dry.

The world may be doing its worst but this thread is MN at its best.

thegrassisgreenernow · 19/04/2020 19:02

WTAF is it with the crumbs?

Why are they suddenly fucking everywhere?

And no. "Stay cool mum" is not a calming response to them.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 19/04/2020 19:04

I just tried to make a mojito using crème de menthe because I didn't have any fresh mint. It was foul but let's face it I drank it anyway

CharlieTangoBanana · 19/04/2020 19:04

I'm back...........

DH and his sudden interest in cooking!!! For the love of Pete can you fucking speed it up a bit, you don't have to wash up two mugs, dry them, put them away and sweep the clean fucking floor before you start. You don't need to read the ten page rambling shite on arseholes blog, just scroll to the fucking end like a normal human being and read the fucking list of ingredients then make one trip to the pantry and get everything you need instead of making twenty trips.
One and a half hours after you announced that you were cooking you actually put something in a pan, if it pissing well says cook the chopped onions in olive oil fucking do that while you prepare the next thing, but no you have to spend fucking hours chopping, weighing, measuring and reading before you even start and then you realise that the special sauce you need should have been made earlier because that takes 2 hours to fucking reduce.
AND fucking season stuff, salt is good, pepper is good and oh while you were out of the room I put tobacco in the sauce which is why it now tastes so damn good and I'm not tidying the pantry I'm in here eating chocolate cake and writing about your inadequacies on MN

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 19/04/2020 19:07

Tobacco? Smokin’!
