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?

My DH telling me that he'll be back within 3 hours but it's now been more like 6.
He's gone to do an activity with the kids and I'm sat in the back of a van waiting for them to come back. I'd bugger off somewhere but I'm in a foreign country and I'm not overly confident at driving on the wrong side of the road; especially in a large vehicle.

I'm hungry, tired, hot (apologies to those where it's raining) and my mouth is drier than the Sahara desert. I am pissed off!

He does this a lot- says things will be a lot shorter than they actually will be. Winds me up no end.

You're sitting in a motherfucking van for 6 hours?

Are you the maid? What the fuck?

Can you drive a little, at least a few hundred metres, so your husband gets a well-deserved scare when he returns?

Can you call a taxi and just bugger off somewhere?

Who the fuck does he think he is?

Stoic123 · 22/07/2023 16:32

Drivers that don't slow down for large puddles so splash pedestrians.

People who watch films or listen to music on trains without using headsets.

People playing loud thumping music in parks (or anywhere).

Coffeetree · 22/07/2023 16:32

Park runs now completely overrun with dogs. I mean, it's one hour.

Peeling the shell off boiled eggs and the white comes off in layers 😡

Cook the eggs in a steamer for 12-14 minutes and they peel really easily

Printer being a cunt. AGAIN!

Thundercats77 · 22/07/2023 16:37

People walking up in the opposite direction to you taking up the whole pavement and not being considerate and getting in a single file.

Hawkins0001 · 22/07/2023 16:37

A friend I know it's mostly chilled but at times it's like 1 to OMG in no time, and it's like whattttttt

DerekFaker · 22/07/2023 16:39

The Mumsnet phrase "large of nork".Yuck!

BlibBlobBloo · 22/07/2023 16:39

Self-righteous people.

Like those who berate people for their life choices I.e moaning about 4x4's in the city or for artificial grass, or for people wearing leggings out the house. Just shut the fuck up.

My family's holiday being restricted due to the 90 day limit and their constant moaning about it. They bloody voted for it!

I would beat them with the Daily Mail. Stupid idiots.

This made me smile! I'd like to hear more from the list - I'll bring the donuts 😅😅

I had it this week. Two women with prams walking side by side, blocking the entire width of the pavement. I had to walk on the road to get past them, with not so much as a smile or a thank you as acknowledgment. Entitled pair of cunts.

LilySavage · 22/07/2023 16:44

People who ask if/when I’m going to have more children. FUCK OFF! WHY IS MY UTERUS YOUR BUSINESS!?!?

Poppysmom22 · 22/07/2023 16:45

Brexit - I agree it's shit but stop banging on
Packaging - if someone takes my scissors I will starve because I have no grip strength and can't get food open.
Dog bashing - literally the only thing keeping me going is my dogs.
My neighbours teenage son having some sort of gathering in their garden all I can hear is some sloany cows hawing laugh
Cat shit - you want a cat you pick it's shit up if you leave it for me to do I will continue to pop it into the plant pot by your front door as I have for the last 3 weeks.
Weeds - why won't they just die
Faffers - just come the fuck on and get on with it I would already be finished if I just did it myself but no I have to train you the faffiest person in the universe.
The accounts assistant who mimed stapler at me while I was on the phone to a customer because my call clearly isn't as important as you stapling those two pages together
People who let the door go in your face because they are far too busy and important to do something as civilised as just take 2 seconds to hold the door for you.
Hmm thought I was a calm person but clearly not

RunningJo · 22/07/2023 16:45

People who wish their young kids or baby a Happy Birthday on social media. WHY??? THEY DON’T HAVE AN ACCOUNT AND WON’T SEE IT.

People posting ‘happy heavenly birthday Grandma, you’d have been 167 if you were still with us’ on social media.

people parking on pavements

people not controlling their off lead dogs

people who put a million # at the end of EVERY social media post.

SittingOnCloudNine · 22/07/2023 11:51

People who get a dog and then moan about them doing things that dogs do. Then talk about rehoming them. 🤬

Just seen a post about someone took their 2 yr old dog to the vets to be PTS as it barked

The noisy wanker on the motorbike who goes past my house a dozen times a day accelerating as he goes by.

My jaw clenches every time I hear him.

Do you live by me 🤣 I have one the same , literally makes me on edge when he does it EVERY DAY …. Im
in Brum.

No, sorry, I'm still enraged! I never had to process my wedding day. I enjoyed it, then got on with my life. Each to their own I suppose.

It's people using therapeutic language to describe everyday feelings and events.
Unless something dramatic happened there is no need to 'process' anything.

Pinkandgreentrousers · 22/07/2023 16:50

People who don't realise their automatic driving lights mean the back ones aren't on and they are driving in very poor wet driving conditions completely invisible to other drivers.

PurpleButterflyWings · 22/07/2023 16:51

People who try and bring Brexit into every argument.

DoraSpenlow · 22/07/2023 16:52

Have just been lucky enough to go on a cruise. Every night there is some sort of entertainment in the theatre be it singers and dancers, acrobats, magicians, instrumentalists, whatever. These 'shows' last about 40 minutes tops. Every sodding night there were people who, after 15-20 minutes decided it wasn't for them and got up and walked out, meaning that others had to stand up to let them out.

For heavens sake, if you not sure the music or whatever is for you don't sit in the middle of the row, just sit at the back or the end of a row. Don't expect people who may be enjoying it to have to disturb themselves, because you can't just sit there patiently for another 20 minutes.

I refused to get up for a couple one night until the piece of music had finished. They said they had dinner booked in the restaurant. Well don't sit in the middle of a row knowing you have booked for 7.30 when the show doesn't finish until 7.40 then. And apparently it was me who was rude!

Oh and people who reserve seats in the front row and then either talk all the way through or get up and leave half way. Argh!!

People smoking outside the doors of hospitals or shops.
People standing 2 feet away from a traffic light and trying to cross the road.
Shuffle up a bit and press the button.

Anything "easy opening" liars the lot of them.

That is a fucking grim one. HATE it. Basically bragging they've got massive tits too. Sad, and braggy, and a bit weird.

People who leave their car at the petrol pump and then spend ages looking round the shop before paying for their petrol.

Yes why do people leave the car at the pump when they want to do a weeks shop.
