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?

Can you make a list for her to choose from like a tick board? And always have those things in?

Unfortunately your husband right although I get it's tedious. Mental health is no joke and I do empathise.

That would definitely get a response from me. Dirty fucker.

my mil drives me insane has never made me feel welcome, asked me to abort my ds when i was told i couldn't have kids, spent years under mining me with my step children and husband. messages husband every single fucking day can i eat fish that's been in the fridge for a day. can you take stuff to tip, oh its raining i hope your not wet, oh its sunny today stay in the shade ffs woman the man is 54 years old cut the fucking apron strings.

Agree - it’s always happened over the years, however the current ‘gotten’, ‘I appreciate it’ and ‘have a nice rest of your day’ drive me make me want to scream.

I told a relative that if they didn't do a POA then the office of Care and Protection would be deciding their financial affairs aka the government. They eventually did one.

That’s off the chart bad. And I speak as the child of a narcissist.

People who use four dots for an ellipsis?

I rarely reply but I can’t believe she said that. Oh my goodness. I’m sorry and hope you are doing ok x

When people say nail 'varnish' instead nail polish. Sorry OP. 😊I cannot stand it, I just want to stamp my feet and say it's POLISH you imbecile! I also hate when people say 'telly' for tv, as if they're in the 1960s. Even worse when they say the telly.

Also the sound of people crunching loudly. And the sound of typing on computer keyboards really loudly.
Loud clocks that sound like a ticking time bomb. I could go on and on.

The guy at work who is the biggest kiss arse to the MD but also the bitchiest twat I’ve ever known. Slags off everyone behind their back including MD. But I can’t say anything remotely bad about him because he’s the golden boy and and I’m the only woman so of course I’m seen as the trouble maker.

OMG! I don’t think anyone can top that. Bloody hell!

A burst chicken kiev is just the worst. Always makes be sad!

Varnish is correct though… I think polish is an Americanism. But it’s literally varnish for nails. Both terms are fine.

(hahaha turns out people incorrectly correcting people annoys me- sorry theblackcat)

People who speak really quietly and won’t speak more loudly even when asked to by people who can’t hear them. Seems so passive aggressive.

Meh, to me polish will always be the correct word.

I’ve got a few more.

People on this website who respond to posts berating the OP for even posting in the first place as they don’t deem it worthy of discussion. They seem to not understand this is a chat forum and people can chat about whatever the fuck they want. You’re not more superior because you don’t have an opinion.
Same applies for people not being poor enough, like it’s a race to the bottom.

I also hate the people that post in AIBU about something beyond stupid their partner has done, like “DH went for a kebab whilst I was mid c-section and then dripped bbq sauce on our newborns head. AIBU to be a bit annoyed by this”. Ffs, just start a post to moan about your POS boyfriend and let rip. No need to fanny around phrasing it as a poor lost soul wanting reassurance that babies actually thrive with BBQ sauce instead of milk. You know it’s not unreasonable, you just want to moan and that’s fine!

My friend who is kind and generous but has to utter EVERY thought she has aloud. I really noticed it when we went away for the weekend together. Just constant weighing up of minor decisions like what to eat at Burger King, it was exhausting. Her DM is the same and when they are in the same room they do this but over each other so it's a cacophony.

Another friend has a "non-binary" partner and is fully on the pronoun bandwagon. This partner is a big hairy bloke wearing eyeshadow and wearing a (too tight) pink T-shirt. I don't think his sex is in any question to anyone with eyes.

DM never walks anywhere, has always taken the car even for the 5 minute trip to the shops. Now she is getting less and less mobile and has difficulty walking any distance, she rarely leaves the house. DF has tried for years to get her to do more but she won't, and her world has shrunk so much. She just won't help herself though, and I dread the day when DF is no longer around because I see her becoming very dependent. She's already very negative and prone to catastrophising and she already texts 20 times a day about nonsense.

People who live through their children and behave as if their children are the first to do anything.

Maybe it's age-related? Or regional differences? I've always said 'varnish', and 'polish' sounds a bit pretentious to me. But I never wear either.

Oooh yes that resonates with me too. The worst is when you do all the organising and someone suggests something else would have been better, or says "why don't we do this instead" at the time you are about to 'do it' 😡

My BIL’s partner who likes to copy us.

if we are happy. He has to be happier.

if my husband has a good work life balance - the BIL’s partner says it sounds boring.

we drive a small polo, he said he couldn’t be seen dead in it.

we buy a 3 bedroom new build, he buys a 5 bed in the middle of nowhere and is pissed that no one comes to visit him.

My MIL is a good cook, she makes lovely home cooked food. My kids go to her once a week after school and without fail she’ll give them processed crap, chicken nuggets and smiley potato faces. Irrationally pisses me off but obviously I can’t say anything, it feels good to write it down here!

Cyclists. Yes I know very healthy etc but on country lanes I can’t pass so I’m stuck driving at 5mph. The fact I’m in my car suggests I planned to go faster than that.

Also, people on here who criticise an op clearly in distress because she spelled something wrong or changes story to he instead of she half way through when the sex didn’t matter for the story one bit so they can’t possibly understand what her post is about when most normal people get what she means.

You’re best off steering clear of the Welsh then!

So he didn't copy your car or your house?
