Why is everything so annoying?!

[MagentaDragon]

Anyone fancy a moan about trivial things that are irritating them?

A pigeon is driving me insane. WHHHHYYY do they have to make such a stupid noise, all day long? It sounds like the bird version of one of those unfortunate X-factor contestants whose family neglected to mention to them that they are tone deaf and have zero chance of becoming an owl. 🦉

Not really an AIBU I suppose, I mean I know I'm being a cantankerous witch - probably because I'm having to work on a sunny day - but I couldn't locate a topic dedicated to annoying pigeon noises.

Nothing specific but, dear God, everything annoys me these days. Nothing improves it. I feel perpetually ratty and, in my solitary moments, feel briefly sorry for those who've unwittingly annoyed me today. But only briefly. Fortunately I live alone.

Fucking power tool man next door. He's currently cutting something into a milion pieces using what sounds like a fucking salad spinner
Gah!

A colleague who can smell but has tricked themselves that they do not smell of BO. It pigging stinks yet no manager has the balls to tell them so we all have to suffer . Oh his summer is going to be appalling

Kids next door have some friends over, they're screaming and shouting, have a bouncy castle running so on top of the screaming and shouting we have the whir of the bloody machine for it. I'm trying to work with a crappy sticky headache I get each month which isn't helping.

I know it's nice and the school hols but I wish they'd go and play elsewhere.

Our neighbour has lots of big trees which are full of rooks. It’s nesting season. They caw all fucking day. I could quite happily shoot the lot of them.

Oh yes to the pigeons hooting away shouting ‘my toe bleeds betty, my toe bleeds betty, my toe bleeds betty oooh’ and to my fecking DH for telling me that was what they say, i cannot unhear it now 😡

Ps apologies for passing this annoyance to others 😳

Weird, I was told it's "You dir-ty pigeon" “You dir-ty pigeon"

I live with my in-laws at the moment. So. My list is endless. Mainly really about things I can't complain about. Like how MIL cooks lunch everyday but I've got to know exactly what I want by 10am and have a long chat about it. Sometimes I just want to eat a cheese sandwich, or maybe not. I won't know til 1pm. Honestly. The struggle is real

I've got an upset stomach on top of my laryngitis. I really want to go for a swim in the outdoor pool at my gym but can't until I'm better.

Stomach hurts. Ugh

Tomorrow I have to go to work whilst DH takes the kids to the beach.

Garden power tools.

These people need to be...well, if the tools turn on the user, I won't be rushing to help.

@Iamblossom

I couldn't open the drawer in the kitchen this morning that has the scissors in it and also my Vitamin C soluble tablets. It is wedged shut by something I can't get to.

DH hasn't yet ordered the light bulbs we need for the kitchen and one of them has blown.

I was on hold for the doctors for 45 minutes this morning as I need a new asthma inhaler but can't be prescribed one without a review appt - by the time I got through all the appts for the day were gone and I have to call again at 8am tomorrow for more of the same, which I can't do because I have a clash with a work meeting.

My fake tan that was very expensive doesn't really work.

All of these are 1st world problems I can live with and all of them are made just slightly worse by my mild Rose hangover.

Don't your doctors release more at 1pm? Ours does. Also if you explain the issue to the receptionist, they can usually do something about it for you. Either get you one more prescription given your difficulty in getting an appointment or adding you onto the end of the doctor's telephone list. They definitely shouldn't be leaving an Asthmatic without an inhaler

My fridge beeps when the door is left open for a few seconds. So when I am trying to empty the fridge, clean the fridge or shock horror put several bays of groceries away it keeps beeping at me. I get flustered, feel rushed and it always end with me swearing what stupid man designed this. Twice a week every week for 11 years.

This really made me laugh, thank you!! 😆

@Iamthewombat

I’m with you on the pigeons. Preening bastards.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

ordered repeat inhalers/epi pens for my dd ,checked 2 days later to make sure they had been done ,request rejected, due to not having review done, inhaler review was done by phone in dec ,told to contact doctors ,contacted them, no they have been done apparently they were automatically rejecting any that hadn't had a review, (but they were still showing as rejected on the day i went to pick up from the chemists)

It's too hot.

Uuuuugh that is grim.

The self service tills at my local Co-Op. They are arranged in a corner so 4 along 1 wall, 4 on the other. The voice instructions are turned up to the max. You cannot hear yourself think with the cacophony of 8 different transactions going on around you. It was like a dystopian experience in there today.

WHY are individually wrapped plasters so hard to get into? Just what you need when your finger is gushing with blood ffs.

My fridge does this too and drives both of us potty. I hate it most when I'm about to close the door and then it starts beeping cos then I feel like the fridge has won.

I offered to help my husband cook dinner even though it's his turn cos there's a few pans that need doing at once and I'm regretting it now cos it's so hot. I have taken my t-shirt off and am moaning about being boiling a la Martin from Friday Night Dinner.

I’m exclusively pumping breastmilk for my 10 week old as he can’t be arsed latching - so I’m mightily annoyed about that. Getting set up to pump also irritates me, it’s not even that difficult or time consuming - but just knowing I’m going to have the burrr burrr burrr of the pump for the next 20 mins gives me the rage sometimes 🙈

I’m also very annoyed that the day ward for blood transfusions and chemo is closed on a bank holiday. It pushes my dads treatment back a day, and he gets so so sick from it. If he doesn’t end up in hospital tonight I’ll be very surprised. Why they can’t work a bank holiday when the rest of the hospital seem to, I don’t know 😡

Had one of these i regularly offered the lady sat next to her my body spray to "cool off" with she would go crazy with it and the world smelt a nicer place

I've had my window open at work. My office is about 50 yards from the station taxi rank and that fucking phone! I'm not sure who I'm more annoyed at: the drivers (who are there) ignoring it or the caller not accepting that if they haven't answered after 589 rings....

Acrobatic slugs that have scaled the dizzy heights of my outside wall to poke their curious heads through my bedroom window. Mini horned devils! Give me a flipping heart attack!

@Cas112

Men being loud, like unnecessarily loud when yawning and things, screaming when sneezing ect. I genuinely don't understand it

THIS!!!!!
