Irritated, irritable and irritating. AIBU to be tolerant in RL and tell them to get fucked on this thread.

[fuckinghellthisshit]

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.

the constant bloody well-meaning friends (who I hasten to add I barely bloody see normally) who now want to 'check in' on an almost bloody daily basis with their annoying fucking pictures of the perfect family life

Just FUCK OFF you twunts!

At least some of you get me time in the bathroom. My DD 6yrs is still coming into the toilet when she needs something. Love her.....but mummy just needs 5mins to herself.

DH is working hard & a lot in his made up study/office, but anytime he has a break he comes up & asks random questions. In which he doesn’t really want to know the answers to, he just wants to know why I’m so quiet.

I’m quiet because I’m on the edge of getting very angry & I’m trying to control it!! He can never go to the shops to get the list I’ve given him. I always get a call asking about something. Like he doesn’t eat the fu*king food every day! Why are you asking what brand to buy when you eat THAT brand everyday & if the usual brand isn’t there. Then buy one that is similar! If they don’t have an item, try another shop OR just get it next time! Why are you asking me stupid questions.

Between constant cooking & baking (DD has allergies to gluten, dairy & sugar), lack of sleep because of insomnia, work, making sure DD is doing her school work & never having any me time. My little family can feel I’m on the edge.....yet they don’t stop!

As for family. If I get one more message on the family what’s app (both my side & his) about NOTHING or doing a group call.....I’m going to explode. I’m happy they are well, but stop making me check messages that aren’t important....because when one comes through that is important. I might be at the stage of not bothering to check. Which then will be MY FAULT.

Omg. That felt good.

Dear DSS. Your habit of clearing your throat exactly every 100 seconds has always irritated me. But now you've moved home it is irritating me AND making me panic that you've got Covid-19.

Also, please fix the toilet seat you broke (?!?!) and stop whining about how you'd rather be studying for your 'stupid' Finals back in your university town instead of our stupid comfortable countryside home while systematically stripping the fridge of all vital fruits and vegetables to make 'smoothies' which you then don't wash up.

Rrraagggggggh. Thanks.

Have loved reading this thread 👍

Great post Op. I’m furloughed at the moment and stuck at home with PEOPLE and PETS all over the house too. It’s so irritating when I’ve sat down with a brew, in peace and DH walks in or says Hello, I like my me-time to be just me, no PEOPLE or CATS wanting interaction 😂😂. DH is working from home in our garage which also serves as computer room & utility room. It is now his office so I can’t use the washing machine or drier during his endless conference calls without disturbing him and my kids have to book slots to use the computer for Uni/college/school work. My kids are eating the cupboards bare every 5 mins, I’ve taken to hiding biscuits, cakes and cereal in weird places to put out in metered doses. DH is moping because he has run out of his large secret stash of biscuits and snacks and I refuse to get him more. The mountains of washing fortunately haven’t arrived as the kids are living in pjs. 19 yr old DD keeps telling me she is going to visit her boyfriend at some point. We have had many arguments about it. The last time she mentioned it we said we can’t stop her going as she’s an adult, but we certainly won’t take her there or bring her back and we don’t have to let her back in the house if she makes her own way there! She’s gone quiet, for now.

I am working. Nothing has changed for me. I work from home. That does not mean I am accessible during the day. That does not mean you come into my workspace and fart loudly when I am on the phone with a client That does not mean you can come and tell me how lazy OUR sons are, make PA comments about my weight, hog the remote 24/7 but moan at me watching stuff elsewhere because I don't want to watch your shit car restoration programmes after a day's work. Moan about the neighbours going out. Follow me about asking me what I am doing (with no intention of listening to the answer), make baseless observations about everything and then get cross because I have researched it and know more. Ask me why I want to do that now. Ask me why I am not thinking everything through for a year before fecking getting on with it. Wondering why the children stay in their rooms which may be down to your complete inability to parent, speak to them or act reasonably around them. They stay away because you are being a knobhead. Wonder why I get upset that when your money comes through in June, you will ring fence it for a car and not contribute to the last three month's bills that I have been covering because I am still working and justify it by saying if we have food in the cupboard and electricity then what is the problem? If this is half an ounce of what retirement will be like, I want out now. I have never wanted out more.

@Pineapple1 - perhaps it has escaped your attention, but the country is in lockdown due to coronavirus. I don’t think any of us actually chose to be living in lockdown, unable to see friends or family from outside our own household, unable, in many cases to go out to work, stuck within four walls 24/7 with the resulting loss of privacy and personal space.

will not be intervening to slay the bastard turd with a thousand cuts

😂😂😂😂

You have my sympathies. I do all the cooking because I love to cook and DP is a fucking dreadful cook but one night recently I was feeling tired so I said to him just heat up the stew and put some rice on. Three times he came back....which rice (there's only one)...how much....(Google it)...where is the rice...(with the other food).

I strongly suspected he'd manage to balls in up somehow so went through to the kitchen to look to find him triumphantly and continually stirring a huge pot of mooshed up rice with barely any water in it. I couldn't even be arsed to be nice. Just said add water, stop stirring. And the water wasn't salted. And it was, predictably, welded onto the bottom of the saucepan afterwards.

In fact, I think DP had confused "cooking" with "stirring". Sometimes I'll be midway through cooking something that I'm trying carefully to make really delicious and he wanders in and cheerfully stirs it like a bear mixing cement with its paw. Drives me nuts.

@turnandfacethenamechange - there was a whole thread about men doing that - on MNer referred to her husband as a spoonyfucker for doing it.

Hang on, I’ll see if I can find it...

Spoonyfucker!

I remember Spoonyfucker - thanks SDTG

People who post pictures on social media of amazing things their kids have created during lock down and all round general perfect family life. If it's so perfect then why the need to tell everyone

I have a spoonyfucker!!!!

I know I'm controling in the kitchen but since he can't even make an omlette and he gratefully horses down everything I spend hours preparing I think I'm bloody a lot to tell him to back the fuck away from my cooking!

ARGH ARGH, and thrice ARGH!!!. Yes farmers I know you are doing sterling work and I thank you for it but, if any of you hit that small pothole on the road outside my house with an empty trailer once more, I shall take your threshing machine and thresh you from here to never fucking never. All I've heard all day is CLAAAAAANNNNGGGGG, CLAAAAANNNNGGGG BUMP CLAAAAAAAANNNNNGGG.

The kids have now withdrawn in to their own rooms, no doubt planning their attack. I just seem to be finding incomprehensible grimefests wherever I go. I have entire two sided conversations with myself about what type of person would do these things. I raised these fuckers.

I feel like Alice in not so wonderland, I leave a room that I have just cleaned for what feels like 10 minutes, to oh, I dunno, clean another room; and when I return, it looks like we have been burgled by a blind, epileptic on speed.

Tried to sneak some toast earlier, just some toast, just me. They had been fed, I know because I heard them eating every mouthful. DD14 eating super fast and chewing loudly with her mouth closed, at sonic speed; DS food not appearing to touch the sides or teeth at all, just being hoovered from the plate; and DD7 lip smacking. I hate lip smacking.

The fire alarm went crazy, as it does with toast or bacon. I had turned the toaster down to 5 to try to avoid it but it still kmew. Opened the fridge to get the butter and when I closed it all 3 were standing there. I nearly jumped out of my skin. I looked for REDRUM written on the door.

Backed away with the now hidden butter and asked what they wanted. Cheeky bastards said that they knew there was food, the fire alarm ALWAYS goes off when there is food. This isn't far, I obviously don't burn everything, this fire alarm is a traitor pig

Surprisingly, they all wanted toast. They all wanted to eat it in the garden where I had hidden. The door handle is now covered in greasy toast crumbs and I don't want to live here anymore.

it looks like we have been burgled by a blind, epileptic on speed

I actually spat my coffee over the screen laughing at that. Epileptic OH salutes you.

Oh, chickenyhead - my heart ached for you when I read your post.

A simple slice of toast, slathered with butter, EATEN ALONE, is every woman's right.

This lockdown thing is a bastard.

chickenyhead you should have lured them out to the garden and locked the door behind them so.they.couldn't.get.back.in
and next time move the sodding toaster somewhere away from the smoke alarm!

@Rosspoldarkssaddle - I think there may be many more divorces in the offing after this lockdown is over - enforced company with such men creates so much more ill feeling and resentment than if you only saw them for a couple of hours each evening. And yes, the thought of retiring with them and never having a break...

I'm not all of he way through yet but I went into the bathroom the other and howled in pure frustration. Did anyone check on me? Like fuck. They're always hanging around outside usually.

Love the bones of them. Would rather we didn't have to spend all day, every day together.

Thank you . Thank you . I thought it was just me . Being a key worker lockdown for me is a very different thing , and I appreciate I get to go out , BUT

I get that you all miss me , and you worry every time I go to work , and that you want to spend time with me when I’m at home , but Jesus fucking Christ , if I have to play ONE more board game, or play fucking charades , or poker , or any other similar torture , I swear to God , I’m taking all the Monopoly figures , all the Game of Life tokens , all the hotels , all the fucking cards , to work and throwing them out of the car window halfway down the A1 . Please , please can I have one evening ( I only get one day off between shifts right now ) where I get to lay in the bath , with a salted caramel cornetto impersonator , and BritBox . I feel bad saying it , because I deal directly with families who have suffered dreadful losses right now , I know I should appreciate what I have and so many don’t, but i just want to lay in a warm bath , on my own , watching something mindless so I don’t have to think too much .

And DH . I love you dearly , you know I do . You’re a key worker too . I get it . But stop fucking whinging about having to stand in a queue at the supermarket . It’s rural fucking Norfolk . The queue , if you time it right , has 2 in it , one of which is our local sausage stealing guide dog. Mind you , if I pointed that out , I wouldn’t be able to make out I was sacrificing so much of my free time for the family ( chain eating chocolate eclairs in the car park after shopping mainly ) so perhaps I’d better shut up .

And breathe ..

@OldLace Well done! Just, so awesome!

I know what it took for you to say that. It was a baby step. But, my God, it was a huge step too.
I will never meet you, but know this, I am SO proud of you and am sending you a massive virtual hug.

This appears to be an international issue.

😂

@Pineapple1
!
Isn't it amazing how few of us had the foresight and forethought to factor in A FUCKING PANDEMIC?
