Things that PISS you off, but you can't really say so.

[pinknailvarnish1]

I have a few. Can't say them out loud (except to DH).

MIL & FIL - multi millionaires. Spend loads of money on themselves, lavish holidays, sports cars, only the very best restaurants etc. Never ever do they give a penny to their adult children (and one is flat broke). This is despite them both having been given property and a thriving business by a parent themselves.

My Dad - Overbearing, alcoholic, violent outbursts etc, all through our childhood. He's now decrepit and I have to do so much for him. I resent it.

Brother - keeps saying he's broke, whilst living like a rockstar. Just spend £20k on a holiday, lives in a £600k house, drives top of the range car, but often claims poverty - stop lying!

And breathe......

Anyone else?

My friend talks with his mouth full. Spits his food all over the table ..
I've told him too several times. He just doesn't care

Social Justice Warriors.

Mine is petty compared to yours but

My dd(6) with autism does many things to drive me up the wall, as all kids do!

But the one thing is that she messes up the duvet on my bed

So I will put the duvet on top of us, as we're getting ready to go to bed, or having a late night snack as we have done during this summer. Its neat and covers both of us and is in the right place on the bed

She will decide to hide under it at an odd angle

Or she will roll herself in it, so its not in its right place

Or just pull it half off the bed

So when I get into bed, the duvet is the wrong way round, its half off the bed, its not in its place. It just really pisses me off 😭😭😭

But I cant say anything, just silently curse in my head and then let it go

None of my friends can make a decision! No one will say where they want to go, what they want to eat/ drink etc . “ I don’t mind” “ You choose” etc

Yes noisy open mouth eaters!!

people who play music out loud

Yeah, that’s so annoying!! I really hate it when DSS says ‘math’ instead of maths. It massively grates. And ceram wrap rather than clingfilm. I love him to bits but it’s so jarring.

My grandchildren sometimes do clever things too

I work with children and young people with disabilities.

There is nothing that I find more infuriating than parents who are exaggerating their children’s needs because they want more benefit money/respite care/to excuse their own crap parenting.

I regularly fantasise about telling them they’re talking shit and that everyone knows it. But, instead, I am limited to writing careful worded reports which are simply added to everyone else’s carefully written reports because there is absolutely no way that we have the time/energy to divert to fight their bullshit.

I am completely BU and obviously can’t repeat this IRL but I’m currently next to a middle class Boden mum on the train who is driving me potty with her perfection.

Her son’s eating vegetables and nuts (tomatoes!!! Pistachios!!), he’s well behaved - adorable, in fact, they’re on their way to daddy who is cooking dinner for them (‘aren’t we lucky, Oscar!’) she’s got designer jeans on, pronounces her Ts, has a clean buggy, is pretty and slim. And I wish she’d just fuck right off and stop reminding me some people are just better at life!

My friend drinks too much and ruins nights out. Not dreadfully enough to call her out but it's really boring...

Some of my friends don’t realise how long it takes us to get to things on the bus. Then will moan about having to drive 15 minutes.

Yes I know I could drive but I simply can’t afford a car. I get free bus travel through work and we live in a city with good transport links.

All my friends won't stop talking about perimenopause - every teeny tiny thing that happens to anyone must be a symptom.....

I am the same age but cannot be arsed to think about it - I think most of us are too young for it to actually be an issue, it's more just that we have busy lives and have hit 40!

I just glaze over the conversation but it's getting really boring

My chicken Kiev leaked all the buttery juice all over the foil and I'm absolutely distraught 😳.

The meanings and usage of words change. I know that. I’ve been delighted by it all my life.
It’s what makes English such a vibrant, interesting language.

However….

Daughter: Where are my earrings? I’m so confused.

Me: No, you’re not. You’re puzzled. Or perplexed.

Daughter: What?

Me: Confusion implies too much information, insufficiently processed. Your problem is that you have too little information, and you know what information you’re short of. You’re not confused. You’re perplexed.

Daughter: Does it matter?

Me: Yes! For some reason, it really, really does.

Daughter: God - it’s not that deep.

Me: See? That one I can live with.

DH falls asleep literally the minute he lies down and it’s infuriating. How can he just switch off like that?

Also I have irrational ugly jealousy of people who have grandparent childcare available to them. My DC have no GPs who can look after them and I am sad about it every time I see families who have.

That’s doubly annoying because they abdicate responsibility for the decision and might then feel free to blame and criticise if things turn out badly!

Can’t relate

People who claim poverty while having thousands in the bank. You’re not poor!!

People who let their noisy children ruin things for everyone else. Just deal with your child!!

Dh falling asleep in 10 second’s, fuck off.

People who can’t ever decide on something, what should we have for dinner? Oh I don’t know what do you want? To not have to pick for one fucking time!

Arseholes who buy lovely houses with lovely gardens and rip it all out. Turn wildlife filled gardens to concrete and Astroturf and build on every inch they can. Whole front gardens churned into drive ways that can hold 10 cars, you have two!! You could have left something nice and natural.

@Sidebeforeself we have friends like that, so I make an executive decision, book something and then ‘oh, it’s not as good as it used to be’. So annoying.

People who claim they’re skint when in reality they have savings and £300 in their current account to last a week

@Bluevelvetsofa @CoffeeCantata .Just recently I held out on one of my friend who always does this. I said “where are we going then?” And she said “ I was waiting for you to choose somewhere!” AAAgh!!!

My ex who whines to everyone he "cant" see his own children and "doesn't know why" and people believe him despite knowing he lies about every little thing someone even said to him oh when did you move back to >home town his children were born and raised in and where the CONTINUE to live< he says a few months ago then goes on about his kids getting tons of sympathy no-one seems to have connected the dots

HE MOVED AWAY YEARS AGO HIS CHILDREN ARE TEENAGERS NOW AND CANT BE ARSED WITH HIM BECAUSE HE MOVED AWAY AND STOPPED SEEING THEM YEARS AGO

He also hasn't actually reached out to the children at all no text no WhatsApp no xbox DM no letter ds1 just passed his GCSE exams its been advertised everywhere results day any messages off dad? "Crickets"

My sister keeps getting filler in her lips. She thinks they look great, but they look awful. What's worse though, is I can’t always understand what she's saying as she's also had botox around her lips.
