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?

I had this too

Group of us got so concerned we reported her

She reported us to our professional bodies
I was investigated for four months

Would do it all over again if I had to

She was a disgrace

Her son had so many strengths and some of the crap she spouted was criminal

I've lived my entire life with severe misophonia and noises like lightly jingling of keys, chewing or a sniff send me into a tailspin. I've never said anything at work so have to sit and listen to the most horrendous sounds (only horrendous to me).

Vocal fry. See above. But worse. Makes my eyeballs itch.

Friends being late for dates, small gatherings etc. Is our time together really not important enough that you can leave home in good time to reach the location? It doesn't help that I am perpetually early for everything for fear of being late, so if I'm 20 minutes early and you are 30 minutes late means I've been hanging around for 50 minutes. Agree, my earliness isn't anyone else's problem though.

Getting pissed off just thinking about this!

Hotdesking in the office. Or rather, the fucking pompous stuck up managers (and its always managers) who refuse to book a desk like the rest of us, and just pick a desk at random without even bothering to check if anyone has booked it. They know this is the process, they just think theyre more important than it. It drives me up the fucking wall. It's so disrespectful and rude.

This morning I got to the desk I'd booked to find one of the usual culprits had put their stuff there. I moved it all immediately and when she reappeared told her I'd booked the desk that day.

I've complained to senior management, including my own line manager, who ignore it. It's always the same group of managers who do this, and I'm fed up of raising it as an issue and being the only own who does (other colleagues complain but never raise it). I despise hotdesking with a passion, and rude people even more so.

Thank you - this really made me laugh 😆

Tradesmen who come out to quote and then don't get back to you and when you chase them up they say they're too busy, rather than give real reason thry don't want the work. One even advertised on our local Facebook group a short while after saying he was too busy.

This is awful. What does your brother/ bil say?
Can you report her to social services. Thus sounds like a combination of neglect and active abuse for financial gain

@VielleTruite gosh, mine is exactly the opposite, a lot of semi hip hop ( think OutKast maybe) mixed in with some ABBA and very recent semi dance stuff - and it’s a mixed class too but a lot of over 40s in fact a fair few over 60s ( including me)

The person at work who takes time off every month for the slightest issue. Currently off because their pet was ill and despite the full recovery, they feel sad about it. They had time off recently because they had “a windy tummy”.
on the back of that, the boss that lets them away with their bullshit because “that’s just the way they are”.

My dh will do the dishes and leave the basin full of the dirty water instead of pouring it down the sink. Just tip it out! If I come across a missed plate or piece of cutlery I will not be using the lukewarm great water. I’ll either leave it for the next was or (heavens forbid!) fill the basin with clean water.

The little thug who gave my dc a split lip. I don’t care if he has “issues”. My child did nothing wrong and is not a punching bag. And the teacher who failed to protect my son and several classmates from this violent child because “he has a right to an education too”. And the people who create this system.

People stood at the top of stairs/ in doorways. I just push past them now. Just move and stand out the bloody way especially on the tube!

🤣🤣🤣 @ the ‘tribe’

I fear I may become of those that talks with thei mouth full, as I am always so desperate to get my point across before I forget again

I also hate the terms ‘picky bits’ and ‘naps’ - I don’t raise cats and my daughters certainly don’t sleep lol

@taxguru oh my goodness yes - my FILs late ex partner was very fond of the ‘we worked hard’ - relating to her and her ex husband ( not my FIL) having done no more than 5 hours a week since her late 20s and was 70 by this point. Really boiled my piss as I had been back at work full time within 14 weeks with my son in late 90s ( and not by choice) - she had never paid a penny towards a mortgage or bills - either with her ex or with my FIL . Horrible right wing views too , not just the usual racism against Muslims etc but Germans, Polish - you name it .

Yes, that must be annoying.

My lovely friends who say 'ladies' instead of women. That pisses me off but no way can I pull them up on it

💯

Also vocal fry as a pp mentioned. I enjoy the rest Is Politics and even Rory Stewart has picked up a vocal fry - sometimes it's so strong I give up on the podcast

I’m on chemotherapy. It’s a pretty gruelling combination of drugs. I feel like shit most of the time, my mouth hurts, I’m bald and knackered. Everyone says “ stay strong and positive”

Wait for it “FUCK OFF! I’m
exhausted and fed up. YOU try this shit. Its hard. Fucking bloody pissing hard!”

There, said it!

What's her number? I'll tell her.

My learning disabled daughter's appalling grammar. I thought she was just delayed in this respect, but she's 19 and I am starting to worry that she's always going to talk like this.

Visitors who say ‘right, we are off.’ Then start another conversation at the door for 6/7 minutes. Then leave. Then start another conversation at the car door for 6/7 minutes. Just say you’re going and bloody go, I don’t need a final act.

I know 4 people like this and I’m irrationally angry every time it happens and it ALWAYS happens.

What, all people?

Or do you mean "people who have no standards" without the comma?

I really wish people would think twice when uttering such platitudes in your situation - I think it’s because people often don’t know what to say, but think they should say something.

When DH noisily watches the football on his iPad in a room where I’m watching a movie on TV. There are other rooms with TVs in them why can’t he sit in one of them instead of disturbing me with game noise and him shouting.

The F word and the C word. I spent my early years in a tough mining village where people swore all the time - but no one never used those words.
Casual blasphemy. People don't use Muhammad's name in the same way. Why use Jesus'?
Apostrophes in the wrong places. Pass me a black marker pen....
People who use the last sheet of the loo roll and leave the cardboard roll on the hanger....
Sniffers. Use a tissue. Please.

Our finance director (who only got the job because she had an affair with our then-married boss, Steve) is desperate to prove how intelligent she is, and begins EVERY email with the phrase "Steve and myself".

"Steve and myself have noticed that certain branches aren't filing their reciepts properly. Steve and myself would like to extend our congratulations to so-and-so for getting promoted." My favourite is "any issues please speak to myself."

Fuck off you thick twat.

AHHHHHH, I can identify with this.
Some people simply don't have a clue and don't care about impact on colleagues etc
