Ooh I love a good moan.

Kids are desperate to go trick or treating and I don't wanna. Been out all day at a theme park and I'm knackered.

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 31/10/2021 17:41

And teacher bashing. Think it's so easy? Go on, retrain if you think you can hack it.

CompensationStreet · 31/10/2021 17:46

Halloween trick or treaters. Bog off.
Christmas stuff already.

Reviews on Amazon. I need an new iron. Can’t order one because the minute I think I’ve found one I read a DO NOT BUY THIS IRON review and I am put off. I should stop reading them but otherwise how do you know anything???!

TopTabby · 31/10/2021 17:57

Posters on here who can only see their point of view & tick others off for theirs when it's feck all to do with them (not this thread obvsGrin)
Teachers that expect far too much from poorly paid, part time TAs, not me before anyone starts but my poor friend who's had the last weekend of her half term ruined with requests, reading & passive aggressive emails.
Oh & Halloween in general...

@Winterfellismyhome

The amazon delivery driver who feels the need to ring the doorbell twice, hit the letter box numerous times then actually bang on the door all in the space of about ten seconds Hmm
At least he knocks/rings and no just lobs it over the fence or puts in wheelie bin!

Coming home after 4 days to find the clean and tidy kitchen I left looking like a complete fucking bombsite when I got home this morning whilst they were still asleep .

Mind you , I did have a small victory. As they were still snoring , I quietly took all the clean plates , cups , bowls , cutlery and saucepans that remained, and locked them in the boot of my car . Then went to bed with a cup of tea , two scones and both sets of car keys under my pillow .

Now do the dishwasher you bunch of oiks .

The BA website keeps coming up with an error message every time I try and book flights using our Avios points.

DH moaning that his (metaphorical) diamond shoes are too tight. Apparently, his relatively new business is too successful, too soon, and he feels a bit overwhelmed. The poor little lamb Angry

Mum is going to die, turns out she’s just got a chest infection.

Covid!

CruCru · 01/11/2021 10:13

People who post quite specific questions / problems on their OP, have a bunch of people respond with advice or information that would have taken time to write and don’t ever come back.

People who, when you go out for dinner, say “But you always have XYZ! It’s so boring! Order something else” despite not wanting to even taste your food. I ordered the other thing and no, I don’t like it as much.

Noavocado · 01/11/2021 10:21

The fact that I'm now flooded in at the bottom of my close as the council hasn't cleared any of the drains that are blocked with leaves.
My first Monday off in ages... and I can't get out Angry

Chocaholic9 · 01/11/2021 10:22

Someone at a social event yesterday who I barely know greeting me as 'hello, little person'. I am quite petite but not a dwarf. I wanted to reply 'hello, overweight person' but bit my tongue.

After a week of blissful peace my neighbours have returned to destroy it.

HintofVintagePink · 01/11/2021 10:24

My mobile not ringing but voicemails being received when I’ve missed the calls! Two important calls I haven’t answered now. So annoying!

Noshowlomo · 01/11/2021 10:36

@Blahdyblahbla

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.
@Blahdyblahbla Have you tried gel ones yet? Expensive fuckers but seem to be lasting well 3 years in.

My skin. Seems to be upset by the slightest thing. I’ve had to stop using my lovely scented body care products in favour of industrial grade emollient and E45 shower cream.

Ugh. I feel your pain. My skin is very reactive, too.
BlueFlavour · 01/11/2021 11:31

Week 3 of a sinus infection. I cried yesterday. Finished one course of antibiotics, hasn’t shifted it, starting another tomorrow. I got this awful cold bug like a lot of people, and it’s got stuck. It’s in my actual eyes ffs.
Please god let these antibiotics work.

CounsellorTroi · 01/11/2021 11:32

Chocaholic9 sorry you are suffering too. Miserable isn’t it.

Have you got an iPhone? Mine did this last week after an update and had to go into settings to sort it.

The constant mountain of laundry, I'm sick of it... I only did 2 big loads on Saturday- surely 2 adults and 1 child don't wear that many clothes over 2 days?! Why are there 6 pairs of mens socks? Do they breed?
