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 son does this

Dh who falls asleep in 10 seconds and snores like a dying walrus all night.

Dh who can drink a coffee first thing in the morning and then fall back asleep when shifts/weekends allow.

Dd17 who thinks of a new phrase to repeat endlessly and annoy the shit out of me. I ignore it then it's quickly replaced by something else.

Exh - everything, all the time. Years of abuse and I still work for him (need flexibility/half decent hourly rate, as self employed) and tread the daily tightrope of managing his moods/effects on the dds/etc. I'm (almost) completely detached emotionally these days so I manage pretty well but if I think for any length of time, he annoys the living shit out of me.

Dd21 (undiagnosed ND) wanting endless help with absolutely everything in life and just being super clingy and needy. Of course I help her with whatever she needs but it's frustrating.

I could go on for ages. God bless menopausal irritation...

Anyone who wears the mad, chunky fake lashes.

Where’s the 🤣 when you need it? 🤣🤣🤣

This has cracked me up! I'm also 'getting on a bit' and these assumptions drive me mad! Who the bleep is Michael Buble? I want 60's/70's and not all the stuff that was in the charts either! 13th Floor Elevators! Northern Soul! Indie! Punk! I think they all reckon we're half dead! Not yet! Heh heh heh! 😎

That’s heart breaking 💔

I do mind @JudgeJ, I mind very much indeed! Prefixing a sentence with "okay" is equally irritating.

-Fake grass/flowers and concrete gardens
-Anything painted anthracite or grey
-stupid big fucking cars that always seem to be parked somewhere they shouldn’t… right outside doors to supermarket, zig zag yellows etc
-Capitalising Every Word Like This
-people who make being a mum their whole personality (don’t get me started on like character clothes for adults - ie Minnie Mouse pjs)
-taking kids to ikea as a day out
-stopping abruptly in doorways or when walking / having no consideration or awareness of others
-when people use generally and genuinely incorrectly
-talking with mouth full / loud eaters
-people who are alwayssss trying to be positive / everything’s a blessing etc. No sometimes shit things happen and no, not everything happens for a reason.

People who talk about themselves in the 3rd person to the children (who are 12 and 16). I’m looking at you, DH, and MIL specifically.

• my shit leadership team telling everyone how wonderful they are despite the fact they have lost about £5m worth of business.

• trying to organise a weekend away - no a night - with friends who object to everything suggested, suggest places unavailable, will not share a room, then go full circle and go back to first place suggested and the two highest earners decide to share a room after previously objecting. Meanwhile leaving the lowest earner to fork out on her own.

• trying to organise medical appointments I would say is like pulling teeth but now have the dentist and the hospital arguing over who does that so that isn't happening either.

• people on LinkedIn just talking utter shit.

My mother in law is a nice person and I care deeply about her ..
However she retels the story of when we had a spar day together completely wrong! What happened was she used the treadmill and the second her heart rate started to increase she got freaked and stopped doing it. The story she tells people is that she was running really fast and tried to stop it so went flying off the machine (like something out of a comedy film) obviously I can't correct her in front of everyone or she will think I'm trying to make her look stupid so I just sit and silently cringe.
Also my sister is a social worker with a trans child so I can never say anything remotely un pc without her telling me off. That and she pissed my daughter off recently by telling her it's ridiculous that she turned down a trip out with a friend when she only got the invite at 10.30pm the night before and would have to get up really early for. Then my husband joined in and started having a go at our daughter saying she needs to fit in or will get left behind (queue massive row about my daughter not inviting a pile on)
Also said sister puts on a silly voice when talking to my daughter, as if she is 3 not 12

Oh one more....

People who post pics of their kids eating a big fat steak. "Rufus enjoying his Tommahawk" fuck off I just know Rufus is dying for a Happy Meal.

I would love to tell a colleague to stop getting involved when there’s a staff member who has an accident at work - this person is not a first aider.
And they with adults who are more than capable of filling forms and googling x, y, z so stop doing it for them. Because when I cover the person they all complete the forms themselves.

and please piss off with your constant X factor singing (you’re shit) and your cigarette breaks every bloody hour

A few years ago you could buy alarm clocks on wheels that would wheel away and hide under a shelf or the bed so you physically had to get up to turn them off. Or ones with those helicopter spinny things which would whizz off around the room and you had to put it back for the alarm to cease.

Just saying.

Mine is an ex colleague who referred to McDonalds as Mickey Dee’s

It used to make me feel homicidal.

Having to dampen down how I feel around some men because of how they might react, knowing full well that my feelings are completely valid

Mine are: family member eating with mouth open. I dont want to see the food in your mouth and the noise makes me want to punch you in the throat.
Husband i really dont like your beard and i find the hairs everywhere its nasty. Id never tell him, i do what i want with my hair, hes the same. Sadly his is on his face. Such a lovely face too.

How everyone uses "gifting" or "gifted" now

I was "gifted" this
I'm going to "gift" them thank you chocolates

NO

I was given this
I will give them these chocolates
I am buying a present

Friends who always leave it to me to organise get togethers then say it is because I am so good at it 🙄

My child free, stress free friend getting signed off work for 4 weeks with "stress" while I have been working my arse off over the summer hols, Paying a fortune for the kids to be in summer holiday clubs then having crushing mum guilt as I haven't seen them and we've done diddly squat this summer holidays apart from survive... feeling so cross it isn't her fault but she has nothing to be stressed about apart from deciding which colour to paint her toes 😬
Edit to add.. we also work together so her being off has just added to my work load and she's spent the last few weeks sunbathing and updating Instagram..normally I love her but she just doesn't have a clue what some of us are going through

A women I know absolutely boils my piss.

She has four children with various levels of neurodiversity, which is rough, I get it. I do, as well. She doesn't need to work because she is incredibly good at filling in the DLA forms for all her kids to maximise her claims for them - she definitely plays the system, she's said as much to me.

She constantly pleads poverty and has recently been getting her friends and family to donate money so one of her kids can take part in an activity that costs in excess of £1000. Great, lovely friends.

HOWEVER she constantly has new tattoos, goes away for girly weekends with her 'tribe' (vom), gets new piercings, goes on nights out, goes to massive stadium gigs and festivals - she's one of these who documents every second of her life on social media, and seems to believe everyone adores her - in the last year alone she's been on around 50 holidays, weekends away, gigs, tattoos, piercings, etc etc. The sheer, bare-faced cheek of begging for money when she's spending so much on herself is just staggering.

She's also buying a new 5 bedroom house in a lovely area because she 'impulsively' decided she needed a 'fresh start' from her current 5 bedroom house in a lovely area 🙄 Again, all documented on SM.

Her poor parents are constantly having to look after her unpleasant kids (unpleasant because she 'doesn't want to be a harsh parent' aka has never put any kind of boundaries in place and lets them have whatever they want) and all the pets she bought her kids because she just couldn't say no.

So many people think she's an absolute hypocritical piss-taker, I'm almost in awe of how totally oblivious she is.

And that's before all her affairs when she was married, judgemental bitching, holier than thou attitude...

Petty - but people that make their kids their personality. It’s cringe.

The first paragraph made me worry you know me...
Nothing else is similar though luckily
