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?

The LA lying to us when they know that we know they are lying. They have no shame.
To be honest everything to do with the LA pisses me off.

There are a lot of things that pee me off that I chose to remain quiet about.

KIEV IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

@Doingtheboxerbeat was right to be distraught. I'm so sorry for your unhappiness. I hope you feel better in a week or two.

@Aliflowers, @Myfridgeiscool, @Aliflowers. How very dare you suggest degrading perfection by placing it on a slice of bread, resulting in one tragically imperfect kiev and one even less perfect soggy piece of not even toasted garlic bread?! Go away and think about what you've said and come back to me when you're ready to repent please.

@Sharkpenis - given your username, I'm going to guess that you get up to all kinds of unorthodox tomfoolery. So, it's no surprise to me that you suggest cooking the kiev UPSIDE DOWN. Have you never heard of an upside down cake? It gets cooked upside down for a very good reason! The domed roof of a kiev is sculpted to perfection to allow the heat to rise, bringing the godlyjuice to the perfect temperature. What exactly d'ya think's going to happen when you put a FLAT roof on it, huh? I bet you're the kind of person who'd plain rip the roof off your own house and shove a flat roof in its place, just because you can.

Anarchy.

Disgraceful.

@DilkushaKitchen - you are a smart person.

@ChelseaDetective - excellent work.

@BCBird - as the kids like to say - KIEV R SRS BSNS, kindly contain your laughter.

@Kurokurosuke and @itsgettingweird - I hope you don't mind that I now class you as firm friends.

@Kilhopper27 - you're a genius.

And, last but not least, @JudgeJ - I have reserved my best side eye/lemon face scowl just for you.

I hope this clears the matter up for all involved.

You both have a point ( or points?) 😁 Please correct me English is my second language and after all these years, I still get confused or perplexed. 🤔

In my experience, usually those kind of people don’t blame or criticise. They are just flexible. I know it can be annoying but they don’t mean harm.

Why not just tell them I want you to make a call as I am tired of looking for options.

That’s really disrespectful.

someone I know has quite a clingy codependent relationship with her husband.

The last time I saw her we were out for a 2 hour walk and her husband rang her twice in that time just for a chat. It happens if we go out for a meal too - which I find really rude.

They have 2 kids and they absolutely can’t do anything separate without the other. Every medical appointment, both of them have to attend. She made her husband come home early once to attend a routine hospital appointment with her. They took one of their kids to A&E with a stomach bug and got someone to babysit the other one. Lucky them that they have so many people who can help but then they will moan that X family member wouldn’t babysit so they could go out for a meal together. They have so much help, but don’t appreciate it

Based on this and your op, they seem to be pretty self-centred.

"ah, they're obviously confident in my love"

People who take for ever choosing a coffee,or sandwich,or cake. Then they have to start asking a dozen questions about what they've ordered. I'm standing in the queue behind them,gradually losing the will to live as they hum and haw. Ditto people who take an age deciding which meal they want in a restaurant or cafe.

My husband being a big dozy bull in a fucking China shop!!! He’s so fucking careless, I’m sick of shit getting damaged. An example. Brand new worktop waiting in the hallway for the joiner to start work tomorrow. He’s just slammed the fucking front door into it! Once because he’s forgotten I can forgive but he did it 3 times while walking through the door once!!! Why??? 😭😭 and if I catch him cutting stuff on it without a chopping board I’m likely to fucking knife him.

If the chopping board is one of those with a decorative side, he'll do his chopping on that instead of using the work side.

I cook ours in a tinfoil container, no garlic butter is lost anywhere, if it leaks, it gets poured over the veg.

My elderly Dad has always been like this with take-aways. I dish out the menu's and he will study it for an hour before choosing what to have. How you can make it to old age, without knowing what you generally order from a Chinese or Indian is beyond me. Will also stop looking to chat. PLEASE just give me the order and we can all chat when the food is being prepared, because it's now fucking 7pm and some of want to eat before 9pm! Then very often, when I'm on the phone, he will shout at me to completely change his order. Cue much confusion for the poor person on the other end of the phone.

Car drivers who park part on the pavement and part on the road so, if you are in a wheelchair or pushing a buggy, you can't get past by continuing on the pavement. You have to bypass the flipping car by walking on the road!

And politicians (and others) who say "Let me be clear" and spin whirling fairy dust all around you so you have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

I am a scout leader and some of the parents piss me off.

The ones that forget we are volunteers or think we get paid and treat us like free childcare or moan about things but are not willing to donate any of their own time.

Tbf, deer bolt anyway, so I'm sure it thought nothing of it.

Agree, a question would be "how are you?".

We hear it with our ears.

Thank you so much for your answer.

@Isittimeformynapyet

It's a fair cop!

Stand by my comment though.

Disney dads posting photos on social media of every single activity they drag their kids to on their contact weekend.
Their braindead followers lapping it up "what a great Dad" "top parenting right there". No, these clowns are paying minimum child maintenance and making minimum effort.

I don't have takeaways often enough to have something I 'generally order'. And even if I did, I prefer to try something different.

On the few occasions that I have a meal out with 3 former colleagues. One of them always orders the same as me. One time, it was one of those places where you pay on ordering. I did the ordering and payment (they gave me cash) and I ordered something different to the former friend. She got into a right strop.

We stopped inviting her over other reasons. One was racist comments
