Name one thing that's the bane of your life

[eatsleepread]

Can be lighthearted or heavy.

Mine is doing the packed lunches. Fucking hate it, especially those stupid Sistema lunchboxes with the compartments that nothing fits in not my best ever purchase

You?

The SNP.

Putting fuel in my car. It is so irrational but I wish we could go back in time to when I can recall my parents giving the pump attendant a fiver to fill her up with 4 star

Death

Fairyannie. How awful for you. It must so difficult and painful to have it on both sides. It is such a terrible thing to endure isn’t it?
Very strong painkillers helped me to sleep but of course there are side effects. I fully empathise with your description of slight movements causing absolute agony. Things like turning on a tap of brushing your teeth become almost impossible. You have my total sympathy. The good news is that it will get better in time.

Having to get up in the morning, no matter what time, always feel so tired it makes me want to cry.
Any sort of housework.

My ex (kids dad) I often think things would be much easier if he just wasn't involved at all but obv that wouldn't be best for the kids.

Hyperemesis gravidarum

I feel you.😞

WASHING! Wash the fucker, dry it and then have to carry the bastard upstairs. Just too much.

@nanbread

CLOTHES MOTHS, total cunts.

Oh yes. Utter bastards. I've lost so many nice things to them.

My job. I’ve started sleepwalking because it stresses me out so much

My bosses inability to function on a basic level, yet they get money thrown at them?

Weeds

Lawns

The general public

Oh, and my neighbours who keep spewing out child after child and got a dog as if life wasn’t difficult enough, and because they can’t cope with their offspring, the dog gets discarded into the garden to loudly bark, every second, for hours each day. Treating the entire estate to intense, echoing, loud barking for hours every day. Neighbours if you’re reading this - yes I mean you, you are wankers, get your dog inside, and shut everyone in your house up, ffs.

My fucking stupid fucking bloody stupid fucking printer. You are online so fucking print you asshole.

Doing a Big Shop

I hate online shopping more though, so, what are ya gonna do? 🤷

Dusting for me, as well. And I have to say, I generally don't. My house is otherwise clean. The bathroom and kitchen are scrubbed, bed made, things in order and put away, floors done...and dust on every surface. When it bothers me, I get rid of it. The lovely thing about living alone.

The cat litter tray and ironing

I love doing washing...sorting, hanging up/ out, folding, sorting.

Yet I get irrationally angry about putting it away in drawers and wardrobes and I only do my own.

Giant bloody spiders. I love my very old cottage. I love living fairly rurally. I hate the giant bastards who continually rock up uninvited.

Cellar spiders - I’m happy to leave you in your little spot as you perform an important job in a timber-framed house. But those huge and ugly buggers can just sod right off!

expectations
never meet them
dont really have any
still feel really down

Planning, shopping for and making dinner every night.

People not picking up their dogs shit.

Noises like constant sniffing, throat clearing, gulping while drinking, or teeth whistling.

For some reason these drive me to despair.

I don’t mind filling up with petrol. It’s over 30 years since I passed my driving test and, weirdly, I still feel quite “grown up” when I fill up with petrol🤣

As an aside, for some reason 4-star petrol popped into my head the other day, had kind of forgotten it even existed.

Putting the food shopping away. I do online grocery shopping but would quite like someone to put it all away.

God I hate that too. Not because Im lazy but because I have mobility issues and cant stand without pain for more than a few minutes. I employ a cleaner and she will do anything I reasonably ask of her that does not involve climbing on ladders (she is getting paid for it after all) so she sorts all the shopping and puts it in the cupboard/freezer/fridge.

I run an online business and the other job I bloody hate is picking and packing orders. It would be the equivalent of some of the posters saying they hated doing packed lunches. I cant ask the cleaner to do that unfortunately!

Atm insomnia - and knowing it'll be another day where my eyes are itching to sleep, then ping 11 pm and I'm wide awake

Cutting the grass, it's like having a huge other room to look after March till October.

Noisy neighbour who thinks we are impressed with his car maintenance skills when all he does is keep revving his ruddy engine

Make up. Too old now to stop, need it more than ever. But it's so boring to do.

My double chin, now it's warmer and I can't hide it being polo necks while on zoom
