Supermarkets putting all their Halloween stuff away already to make room for Christmas stuff, ffs wait a few more days.
Things being on the sky box downstairs but not on IPlayer upstairs.
Work.

What are yours?

It's nice to see such a wide variety of annoyances, makes me feel less alone.
Sympathies to you all.

Still seeing files made by the person I fired a few weeks ago for being useless. Every time I see one, I know it's another mess I have to sort out.

Doublechins · 27/10/2021 21:32

The stinking headache I have had for days which will not go away with painkillers.

The word count on my assignment which refuses to come down despite me editing the bloody thing approximately 500,000 times

My MIL. She's not even done anything. I'm just winding myself up thinking of ways she's going to push my boundaries when I give birth. She is 100% going to invite random people to my house straight after I have a caesarean.

I'm aware I'm crazy.

icecreamgirl94 · 27/10/2021 21:35

My mother who I don’t see very often (her choice) turned up unannounced and told me off for watching Halloween with 8 month old DS (he likes the music).

RavensWig · 27/10/2021 21:36

Work, people doing stupid shit they shouldn't.
Absolute agonising sudden pain in my foot for no apparent reason. All I did was get into bed (early night) and I feel like something clicked and didn't go back? It's been throbbing for 45 mins and is making me sweat, how ridiculous.

Aderyn21 · 27/10/2021 21:37

Currys - sold me an item on the premise that it would be delivered this week. Turns out it's oos and not available until December. Requested refund when I finally located a number and have had no confirmation email which was supposed to arrive. Buggers have taken my money though!

Also British Gas - seemingly incapable to updating my account so I can see if usage corresponds with direct debit.

Companies just don't seem to do their jobs properly anymore and we constantly have to chase them!

Theunamedcat · 27/10/2021 21:38

I still have no car its going to take fucking ages to fix because its my gear box fortunately I'm unemployed

Sadly I'm unemployed

My kids are driving me insane I want to go out but I really REALLY don't want to take them on the bus

I've booked a day out Sunday there are no buses on Sunday

My ladyshave broke the foil literally split ive asked for a replacement because amazon have already refunded me three items this week alone I felt like I was taking the piss

Its Wednesday which means I have to look at my ex husband tomorrow I really don't want to

Blahdyblahbla · 27/10/2021 21:38

I'll add another, my bloody fucking pillows. I replaced them about 6 months ago following the recommendation to buy expensive ones that will last. The bastards are already flat and shit and need replacing.

Relatives putting pictures of my kids on Facebook and not asking permission and then seeming surprised when I ask them to be removed! Not. Your. Kids.

ipswichwitch · 27/10/2021 21:41

My line manager.
The place I’ve been trying to ring for the last 5 hours that’s constantly “user busy” - they’ve clearly got the phone off the hook.
My sinuses.
Insomnia.
My dieting - how the feck do I gain weight when I’m eating less?!?
This wind.
Bastard cat that won’t eat her meat that I’ve carefully blended her meds into.
Stupid teams meetings. I can’t be arsed, and my hair looks like a birds nest
My hair. Finally getting cut tomorrow.
The 58billion people who cannot read signs, and keep coming into my workplace asking “is this…?” No. As the big blue sign says, you go further along. My project for this week is to make an even bigger sign, so big you can see it from space.
These are the same people that ignore the sign in the toilets asking you to turn the tap off. It won’t do it automatically. Like the sign says. The massive red and yellow one right in front of your face.

MumofBoys79 · 27/10/2021 21:41

Disappointing online purchases, that just don't look like the picture, or the sizing is off. Two more arrived today. I've got a backlog of things I need to return.

Irritated by some sanctimonious replies on here:

OP: Can I put pizza in a pack lunch?
Reply: No OP you should really provide a wholemeal wrap with veggies and fruit and houmous as a treat.

Another poster might not be be getting enough fresh air as she likes her bed (is she depressed?)

Just arrrgghh (but not enough to stop reading!).

BobbinThreadbare123 · 27/10/2021 21:48

The weather. We're under an amber warning for rain and half the county has flooded already.
I've had the evil cold and I am still suffering the after effects. No cough at all, but I can't breathe properly! Wish it would feck off

Iwouldratherbemuckingout · 27/10/2021 21:50

My bloody shoulder which has gone into spasm
Amazon prime video refusing to play on my iPad when I’d planned a lovely soak in the bath watching Greys Anatomy
Bastard cat who pissed in my laptop trolley thingy

If I gave my son a wrap houmous and vegetables he would come out in an apocalyptic hangry fit

That I’m spending the week with my very spoilt, noisy 7yr old nephew who neither SIL or MIL are able to say no to!!

@LoveFall

Landscapers using leaf blowers NON STOP since 8 am. It is now 1:12 pm.

It's about time somebody tried using a rake for once.

It is driving me mental.

This-gardeners across the road clearing up sacks of leaves. Under three huge rapidly shedding beech trees.
thefirstmrsrochester · 27/10/2021 21:56

DH for complaining that I make DS a packed lunch and not him. DH works from home. DS is a 16 year old on an apprenticeship. In protest DH ignores all the available food in the house in favour of scranning all the biscuits and crisps instead of making himself a bloody sandwich.

@Blahdyblahbla

which brand is it?
we have OTTY pillows and they are fantastic. I had mine for 3 years now, it's still perfect so we actually bought them for the kids as well a few months ago.

My eczema :( it’s a constant battle cycle that I’m just not winning. My skin hurts, i look awful, my face is all red and flaky (thank goodness for masks!), I can’t sleep for scratching and I’m irritable as bleep because of it all. Drs worse than useless - only phone appointment avail - if you can’t see how bad it is how can you prescribe me yet another of the 5 million lotions and potions I’ve tried over the years that just don’t work. It’s really getting me down. I know there are worse than me out there, but this is my battle and there you have it! Thanks for the venting opportunity - I actually do feel a wee bit better after writing that down!

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 27/10/2021 22:01

Aaaand. My new boots and my stupidly high instep which means it cuts the circulation off.
And it’s already nearly Thursday of half term and I so don’t want To go back to work.

XenoBitch · 27/10/2021 22:01

I managed to get to my support group today (is for mental health), only to have another member constantly talk over me and spend ages talking about her own issues. I never got to talk about mine.

AudTheDeepMinded · 27/10/2021 22:05

My children leaving the front door wide open every bleeding time they need to go through it to play outside/come back in again. They've palled up with some kids that are staying with the neighbours and are playing together beautifully outside, which is fab, but there is a reason to come in every five seconds and no matter how much a shout and order they will not close the fucking door. So pleased I'm paying to heat the great outdoors today! Oh, and husband decided to eat special thing I'd bought to accompany tea for his lunch, without bloody asking if it was needed first, grrrrrr.
