the80sweregreat, I'll see how mine go and report back like anyone cares

Arthritis, and the many injuries I get because of it!

TroysMammy · 26/04/2021 14:43

Putting away clean cutlery I bloody hate doing it. My DP usually does it but if I do it he thinks I'm in a mood about something.

Putting laundry away.
I wish we had a dressing room that was one massive laundry bin.
Everyone would just rummage and pick stuff out every day

Hypermemesis. It is the bane of my life right now. I just want to be able to play with my almost 3 yo and enjoy these last few weeks before his world is turned upside down.

Pile, constipation and YouTube adverts.

DrunkOnOneSip · 26/04/2021 14:53

All wasps should just die! They are of no help to anyone at all and annoy the crap out of me.
( sorry any wasp lovers here. .. still don't care tho)

Weeedonkey · 26/04/2021 14:57

@the80sweregreat I feel personally victimised by wasps. They literally head to me and avoid others. I feel like they are the yobs of the insect world, ASBO bees!

the80sweregreat · 26/04/2021 15:01

Wasps, what are they good for?
(When God made that particular insect he was having a laugh I think. )

doris9034 · 26/04/2021 15:46

Lego. Fucking Lego

Charity Shops - where is all the good stuff these days ? I know AIBU and they sell pyrex on ebay etc - but really fed up of looking at yards of worthless tat often in those glass cases - today they had a enid blyton 3in1 Mallory Towers hardback priced at £4.50 its not worth 50p.
I only looked in as i expected tons of donations on sale - but all the ten shops have bare shelves and the same stock as last year.
And if you offer a price for an odd notepad - you get the "sorry we can not reduce the price - its for charity " this excuse covers everything.

Sobloodyexhausted · 26/04/2021 16:01

Wasps make chutney according to Eddie Izzard 😂!

Sobloodyexhausted · 26/04/2021 16:04

Whoops I stand corrected! I just checked: earwigs make chutney, Spiders make gravy!
Therefore Wasps are totally worthless mf’s after all!

TheDogsMother · 26/04/2021 16:06

Menu planning and online shops/suppliers making it impossible to speak to customer service, oh and Cookies on every single website.

JaneJeffer · 26/04/2021 16:24

My intestines whose main purpose seems to be to cause me misery.

Also agree with wasps. Evil feckers.

winniemum · 26/04/2021 16:26

Thinking about what we’re going to eat that week!

GrannieD · 26/04/2021 16:36

Passwords.
Apparently FFSnotanotherfuckingpassword is totally unacceptable in an office setting

PassionPeach · 26/04/2021 16:36

Wasps are dicks, but they kill a large amount of crop pests and also pollinate. So while they're not completely free of being aggro little bastards, they do actually play an important role! This coming from someone who runs screaming from them like a lunatic whenever one is within a mile radius of me.

FTM91 · 26/04/2021 16:37

DPs boxers on the bathroom floor.

Vursayles · 26/04/2021 16:39

@Hebditch can you sign up for Echo? They deliver your prescriptions straight to your door. Just reorder using the app and it’s all done!

the80sweregreat · 26/04/2021 16:50

I wouldn't mind the wasps as much if they killed and pollinated etc , but left us humans alone.
Same for ' house' flies. They like humans and can't find their way out the window they came through. They also exist to wind me up and want to be my 'friend' ! Just go away.

Can they just continue the pest killing and crop pollination and stay away from me though. Even the weird drunk way they fly and bash about things makes me angry 🤣
