DH has just put the dishwasher on a long cycle in the middle of the day 😡 I have all of his family coming shortly for a meal to celebrate his birthday.

surely everyone knows that during the day it’s a short cycle and overnight it’s a long cycle.

now I have to wait 3 bastard hours for it to finish with the pots building up.

of course slightly lighthearted but what does give you the rage?

Yep totally agree bragging Betty's on fb do my head in no one wants to see 50 pictures of your day out please just stop
Neither do we want to see a picture of your meal or your husband with his pint of beer each and every night of your holiday
okay we know your on holiday again lol please just leave it there not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to afford to go on holiday let alone 5 or 6 and to be honest after a while the pictures just become mundane and quite embarrassing if I'm honest and it makes me squirm about the lack of empathy and thought for others who may not be able to afford the same
Please just stop the bragging

LOL it's like we know the same person @orangetriangle 😆

People getting yet ANOTHER pet when they are asking to borrow money to put some electric on.
People not neutering their pets.
House on the corners fucking dog which the stupid bitch leaves outside when she goes to work at 6am barking for 4 hours.
Printers that you feed a rain forest full of paper for them to say no paper. What have you done with the 5000 sheets I've just fed you? Bastard

This did make me LOL! 😆

Not sure I have the courage! 😆 I have unfollowed, but unfriending someone you actually properly know in real life, is like a slap in the face and a kick in the stomach for them isn't it???

Ooooh maybe I WILL do it! 😂

Cosyblankets · 03/09/2023 12:32

Just been asked for my contact telephone number.
What's wrong with just telephone number?

PurpleButterflyWings · 03/09/2023 12:36

Thought of another one... People who say 'sans' instead of just saying 'WITHOUT.'

'DH and I are going to the beach sans the children.' Just say 'WITHOUT the children,' you pretentious twonk. You sound ridiculous!

ALSO, people saying 'reader.. I told him to get lost.....' Feck off with saying 'reader......' Angry Again, soooo pretentious!

UnRavellingFast · 03/09/2023 13:39

The phrase ‘reaching out’. It’s mindless, meaningless, stupid as fuck.

Both dh and ds NEVER straightening out the hand towel so when I go to dry my hands it's in a damp lump on the holder and feels gross.

When kids walk past other adults to ask me to help them, I'm not the only one who can open a packet of Crisps or tie your shoes - ask them!

Being SO tired downstairs I'm falling asleep but soon as I go to bed I'm WIDE awake.

The towel thing I totally get! I secretly call my partner the towel scruncher. He does it with tea towels too so they're all damp and strewn around the kitchen, they'll never dry out all scrunched up FGS!!

DahliaMacNamara · 03/09/2023 15:43

Fuck yes, the towels. Also DH, for moaning about the DC's towels, when he's as bad as them. But his don't count, because he doesn't notice himself doing it. He's quite convinced he doesn't. He makes more mess in there than everyone else put together.

I agree but it seems to be the in phrase at the moment. Grrrr.

Cattenberg · 03/09/2023 21:21

It makes me think of an outreach worker talking to an alcoholic rough sleeper. “Please let me help you, Steve”.

L4R4CR0FT · 04/09/2023 13:21

People wh don't reply to my WhatsApp messages, even though I can see they have read it!! Ffs it only takes seconds to respond!

MonumentalLentil · 04/09/2023 13:31

Being woken by Ring doorbells that ring loudly on the outside of the bloody house and then the person inside bellowing like a wounded elephant so that the entire street knows they have a delivery or a guest or a drunken husband that has forgotten his keys.

Why do they not ring on the inside where the people expecting the delivery etc. actually are and not where they alert the entire street and beyond?

MonumentalLentil · 04/09/2023 13:34

People who don't pick up their dogshit. Especially people who are paid to walk multiple dogs and some of them are big dogs, therefore big shits, which sets the others off. There's a couple who walk 7 or 8 dogs daily along my road and you can always tell when they have been along because of the heaps of shit they leave.

Bellendula · 04/09/2023 13:38

Opening Chupa Chup lollies, they never just twist open, they always involve me biting tiny bits off to try and create a decent size hole to then rip the fucker open, then the plastic never just slides down the stick. Pure rage, especially as I'm normally doing this on a long car journey as an attempt to stop the kids talking or fighting 😬

Zhougzhoug · 04/09/2023 13:39

Tebay services. So smug and annoying. Food not even that good. You can't buy a stamp but you can buy a Le Creuset. Fuck off.

bonzaitree · 04/09/2023 13:46

Posts saying “And just like that [insert something very, very normal their very, very average child is doing]”

Example “and just like that little Timmy is off to school”.

No way. Your 4 year old is going to school??? Stop the press!

posting "legal" messages that Facebook does not own their photos and everybody needs to copy and paste it or Facebook will be able to take over their lives etc

Icebreaker911 · 04/09/2023 14:23

Well it's an offence now to do 50/50, report the lot & sit back & laugh when their arses get fined 🤓

JonnyHotShots · 04/09/2023 14:23

Taking the whole family to the supermarket bored kids playing up why do both parents have to go? Kids running about in pubs and anyone cycling on the pavement.

When food products have the plastic film with a peel me section and it doesn't come off smoothly!!

Also letting someone out when driving and no thank you makes me fume

It really pisses me off when cars ‘let me out’ etc. it’s against the Highway Code and makes the road so much less safe for pedestrians and cyclists who rely on cars following the Highway Code to predict actions of drivers.

a month ago I was waiting in traffic and someone let a car coming the other direction through a gap in our stationary traffic, turning from a main road into a minor road. Neither driver thought of the cyclist cycling in the cycle lane beside the stationary traffic and they were knocked off. Just don’t do it.

Agreed. And they don’t sell either coke or Pepsi in the shop (which is surely a criminal offence), just some middle class gentrified lookalike.
