Things that are getting on tits today

[Blahdyblahbla]

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?

MIL- already fussing that the fact we are going down to see her at the weekend may clash with the fact that she may suddenly need to look after BIL’s kids. She’s been looking after them all week. Also, we’ll have to leave as she’ll need to pop next door to see Joan at 5pm. May as well not bother then…
Backstory- she interrupted the phone call DS made with his GCSE results to tell him that she would need to go and take BIL’s kids to the trampoline park soon. That was in August, it still bothers me (DS has SEND so his results were a wonderful achievement, he worked bloody hard!).

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!

You have all my sympathy. Eczema is horrible. I'm sure you've tried everything but have you had cetraben before? Not sure if they prescribe it for adults. It's the only thing that cleared up my DD's eczema. She also had it all over her face and neck - last winter was horrific, her face was bleeding constantly. Since using cetraben religiously, she's only really had tiny flare ups, mainly after swimming and they're easily resolved. I'd spent an absolute fortune on all types of balms and creams and emollients and we'd worked our way through tons on prescription until we got lucky with this one. Hope it helps.

Arranging the work christmas meal.

Never work with more " mature" colleagues. They're a PITA. I can't eat after 8pm. I don't like spicy food. Can they make it without a sauce? I can't make that date, can we do the following evening? I don't want to come on my own, will you pay for my son/daughter/neighbour to come with me?

GIVE ME STRENGTH.

Covid. I’ve had enough.

@Doublechins

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

Sorry to divert but could it be covid? I only ask because it's the one symptom I had when I had covid, a week long persistent headache I couldn't shift even with painkillers

Went to b and m, Poundland, Asda. H & b and mine had ant a Halloween stuff left. It was all Christmas aisles.

I'd left it too late. Wtaf it's not even been Halloween yet?

@BrisbaneandGone

Constant Christmas shite everywhere, it's October FFS. My dog who is staring at me and whining, I have no idea what she wants. Shetland - I was so looking forward to it coming back on, watched the first episode earlier and was disappointed, something was missing and I don't know what

I've been saving this till Friday so I can eat a pizza In bed. Was it crap! I love Shetland

I deep cleaned the whole kitchen while handling my teething toddler and being 18 weeks of pregnant exhausted; and finally felt relaxed, for all of under an hour before I spilt fucking pasta water all over the hob. Could cry. Hate my life. Am done trying. Time to live the life of a slob.

@OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow

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.

I have a high in step what are these boots?

Braved the horrors of Primark because I've lost so much weight my 'skinny' work trousers look like breeches and my open neck shirts are positively indecent, only to find there was a choice of skirts so short I'd have to do my bikini line to wear them in polite company, trousers designed for the Retired Lady on the Golf Course or plastic skirts that would result in a purulent case of Trenchfoot of the Foof after three hours sat next to the radiator in my office.

Then went to the supermarket in the vain hope of finding something to eat that didn't contain sodding gluten. Finally found some GF pizza bases (as if I have any more jacket potatoes I might just scream), bought a bunch of toppings, got home and found that upon opening the packet, they were covered in black mould. The annoyances there are a) why the fuck does everything have fucking gluten or wheat in it, even fucking oven chips or a packet of crisps? I can't live solely on lettuce, cucumber and cheery tomatoes with a daily potato. b) how the fuck did they go rotten in a sealed plastic bag? and c) oh, so this is why they don't issue receipts anymore; so they can refuse to refund me thirty five minutes after purchase.

And the two pound off the jar of coffee didn't go through. So I'd spent twenty minutes longer in there waiting for the sole member of staff in the fucking building to come along and take the entire thing off the bill, as I wasn't allowed to buy it at the price it was being sold at 'because the computer doesn't let me correct the price'.

I hadn't eaten all day, I'd been to the gym, failed to buy clothes, taken ages to find something I could eat and drink, couldn't buy the drink, then couldn't eat the fucking food.

And my phone thoughtfully chipped in with a helpful 'by the way, you're due on tomorrow' message via FitBit. So I'll be feeling like my womb is trying to climb out of my pelvis as my lower spine attempts to emerge from it Alien-style. Without access to snacks or anything else to eat that's quick, soothing and normal, as there wasn't any GF bread, pasta or even any fucking eggs for an omelette.

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK OFFFFFFFFF.

On holiday. Waiting for my period. Pg tests at home. Saturday. Ffs this is hell.

A cheeky cow at work eye rolling and smirking at me at work when i told her something im doing, claiming she'd never be allowed that...when she got similar/better last month...

People submitting board papers for inclusion in the board pack at 5pm when they are supposed to go OUT at 5pm so I have to work late to PDF and stitch them together and circulate the selfish PRICKS.

Assuming you can find gluten free flour (and I know that's problematic at the moment) next time mix equal amounts gluten free flour and natural yoghurt to make pizza dough

Gluten free bread and pizza bases going mouldy in the package is a thing I've been gluten free for years and the amount of times it's happened I've honestly lost count sometimes you don't even get the mould you get a SMELL OF DOOM that means your food is inedible I tend to buy check and freeze on day one

I also scream at the sight of jacket potatoes

Persistent headache, it’s new, lft says I’m negative, multiple times. So why do I have a mega painful headache every other day?

Stupid fucking covid, half of my poor family are positive, I was meant to drive up to see them today, so half term plans have drastically changed.

I’m several years off (very early) retirement but keep seeing amazing properties. I’m wishing my life away, which I know is awful of me, so I’m really annoyed at myself.

I’m horribly fat which exacerbates an old injury. Why can’t I just sort myself out like I did before? If I’m not careful, I’m going to end up in a wheelchair and be a fucking burden to my DH. 😢

Thank you, OP, for posting this, I really needed the rant!

@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.

yeah so lazy amd wasteful!! not being sarcastic really not! bit of elbow grease would do the trick

The twat colleague who calls me sweetness! I want to knee him in the groin.

Nipple tassles, bras, a tongue

Having one foot an entire size bigger than the other. My right foot is always pinched and unhappy while the shoe on my left foot flops around making me trip over things.

Oak fucking furniture land.

Have you tried oddpairshoes? You can buy different size shoes as a "pair"

My daughter has different size feet she manages with those padded heel things

The fact that I can't put my head in gear to lose a fucking stone, a measly stone! It would make so much difference to my petite frame and to my mental health as I'm so uncomfortable not being able to fit into my clothes.

People lose 3,4,5 stone and I can't seem to stick to a healthy eating plan for more than a week before I self sabotage, and I have no one to blame but myself! What is wrong with me?! I get annoyed at people like me!

Covid. The bastard. Give me back my taste & smell and fuck the fuck off. All drinks are water, hot or cold, and all food is just lumps or watery lumps.

Sorry to divert but could it be covid? I only ask because it's the one symptom I had when I had covid, a week long persistent headache I couldn't shift even with painkillers

I have had a positive LF and awaiting results of PCR so yes unfortunately it may well be covid

My colleagues (some) and my students (some).
