I’m quietly sulking because ds ordered me the wrong pizza. Not only did it have mushrooms on it he ordered it with cheese sauce on the base rather than standard tomato pizza sauce. It was like eating a carbonara sandwich.

I didn’t want ds to feel bad so told him it’s not a problem but now he’s away in his room I’m being sulky and petulant and not letting DH cheer me up with dessert offerings from the freezer 🤣

Last night, but I sulked because they were out of cola bottles at the cinema pick’n mix.

troppibambini6 · 15/11/2024 19:33

I'm sulking because dh didn't go out and get a wood for the fire before he went out for the night so I have no fire tonight. I can't go because home with two kids who are now in pjs.

Yesterday I sulked because the woman who works in The post office charged me for a small parcel when I knew it would go through the letter box, but. I’d paid before I realised. So too late to argue it.

Sulking at myself spending a stupid amount on a tin of paint, as now I've painted, I'm not sure I like it.

Hatty65 · 15/11/2024 21:16

I am currently being pathetic about the fact that the hot water bottle is upstairs (and cold) and I am downstairs (and cold).

I am sulking about the fact that I don't want to get up, go put the kettle on, fetch the hot water bottle and fill it. But I don't want to be cold either.

Currently I'm at stalemate with myself.

I'm silently punishing my DH because he's forgotten I had a healthcare appointment today that I've been waiting 2 years for.

Nothing life threatening, doesn't have a major impact. But he's not bothered to remember or ask how it went.

I'm stupidly not reminding him. I'll probably go to bed early and he'll wonder what on earth he's done wrong. Poor bloke.

greenrollneck · 15/11/2024 21:41

I'm a bit sulky as my DH hasn't remembered it the anniversary of my dad's death, I'm a bit sad on the run up running over the days as it was during Covid and pretty awful. So I'm in a fairly low mood and he's just gone down the pub and not really even noticed me or my mood.

I may have to just tell him as I would like some support.

I'm also sulking about not having time to myself recently, life is a bit busy and every time i try and be a bit selfish and book a spa day etc my plans don't work and I'm skint!

greenrollneck · 15/11/2024 21:41

@Gazelda how did it go?

Dahlia444 · 15/11/2024 21:45

I’m really tired but too tired to go to bed. So doom scrolling on mumsnet. Feel at stalemate with myself like @Hatty65. Hot water bottle also upstairs and needs filling downstairs.

Marine30 · 15/11/2024 21:51

I’m sulking because I’ve got 12 food orders for a Christmas meal that I booked and the stupid restaurant is asking for a stupid csv file to be uploaded of the meal choices and I can’t make it work and I hate computers making life hard and everyone js just going to end up with fucking turkey as it just won’t upload 😫

Ellbee83 · 15/11/2024 21:54

I activated my online bus ticket when I saw the bus coming around the corner... And then for reasons unknown it sailed right past the bus stop leaving me frothing with annoyance AND out of pocket on a cold miserable evening!

Also... Neither of the two guys I'm sort-of seeing have been arsed to message tonight so I've turned to the wine... Sulkiness is abating in direct inverse ratio to consumption of Ripasso ;)

MessyNeate · 15/11/2024 21:56

Sulking because I'm day four of the flu/cold type virus and steeling worse today than when it start AND DH is still away at sea and not here to pander to me HmmGrin

belge2 · 15/11/2024 21:57

My car broke down on the way home from work. On a Friday. It tipped me over the edge and I cried. Tired and feeling pathetic. Hate the bloody car and wish I could just buy a new one but can't afford to!

Hollowvoice · 15/11/2024 22:01

I'm sulking because I keep trying to tidy up the sodding house but pretty much all of the mess isn't my mess so I can't deal with it!
Also sulking cos my voluntary "job" feels a lot more difficult recently and I might have to give it up for sanity.

monty09 · 15/11/2024 22:12

I'm sulking because I had an operation on Tuesday and only got last night. It feels like no one really gives a shit either 😕

SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter · 15/11/2024 22:14

To be fair OP that is definitely sulk-worthy! Sounds revolting! You should accept the freezer treats though!

I'm in a sulk with God/the universe/karma/whatever because I'm 'between jobs' so feeling hard-up while really needing the money at the moment. I've had a couple of job offers but I'm being fussy and holding off for something 'perfect' and am cross that the universe isn't recognising this and delivering it!

Aww, that's harsh! I hope you're on the mend soon!

The worst possible stalemate!

I had a good sulk this evening because I learned there is a vomiting bug going around dd's class. So that's my weekend/next week ruined (depending on incubation times)

anonny55 · 15/11/2024 22:22

Im sulking because im pregnant and want one of them Dubai pistachio chocolate bars. I see it in the shop 25 mins away and it was £5 and I thought god what a rip off. Ever since I've craved it so bad!

Aww he’s sounds lovely

VegTrug · 15/11/2024 22:26

I'm sulking because I'm lonely. I've no friends, no family and due to my health I'm stuck indoors quite a lot. Plus DD has chicken pox so I haven't even had the interaction of the school run to keep me going. (The school run is the most/often the only adult interaction I get! How sad is that?!)

shiverm · 15/11/2024 22:28

Sulking because I really really want to drink a bottle of wine yum yum but because we're going through stupid IVF I haven't had a drink since October 2023 and it sucks and I'm sulking.

shiverm · 15/11/2024 22:29

Oh and OP that pizza sounds really really bad.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 15/11/2024 22:31

I hurt my toe two weeks ago and the nail is being held on by a nano-millimetre of cuticle.

Painkillers aren’t touching it; just making me high so I care about it less.

Also, it’s now infected so I’m on giant antibiotics four times a day which don’t really agree with me.

So, my sulk is toe related.
