Share your minor complaints here.

Mine is that I can only assume that my DDs key worker at nursery bathes in perfume every morning, as DD reeks of it constantly. Very annoying as now I can only sniff her head for a quick endorphin release on weekends. Luckily my DSs teachers don't do this, so I can still sniff his head.

YABU - you are correct
YANBU - you are correct

I have started my period while taking the pill, I am taking the pill to stop my period. So all the crappy side effects have been for nothing. And we have no chocolate in the house!

This happened to me last month, I was completely unprepared! It’s miserable, I’m sorry!

I went to my local library to get a book I was after. The system says the book is there and available. I go to the shelf it is meant to be on... and It. Is. Not. There.

This happens loads and it gets me so mad 😅

My neighbour (kind of adjacent to me so I can see his full front of his house whilst sat on my sofa) a couple of months ago attached a HUGE flag of his football team to the front of his house. He also put up a massive, prison style CCTV camera that follows you around (we live in a quiet, leafy culdesac and he already has a ring doorbell). These are eyesores enough but this week, he has added 2 large wind chimes to his porch! They are solar powered so bloody light up after dark as well as making a hideous noise all day 😫

Support for that one tbh my god I would move house. What an obnoxious wanker. You should put a flag up saying "only wankers put flags up", ironic but it does the job. Perhaps add some bright Christmas lights for an extra touch

God I can't even imagine what it'll be like to be dealing with my DD when she's that age with the clothes etc. She's 2 and already has a favourite dress etc

She hasn't been this upset about growing since she out grew her dressing gown, that had her sisters name on it. Her main complaint was her sister hadn't grown, so DD9 had to wear her one with her name on 😂

Awww I feel you this is a complaint of mine as well. Bled for the majority of 4 months when I started the mini pill and it was actual hell. I wanted to switch to the combined but feel like it would just happen all over again 😭 cba with constantly feeling like I want to inject sugar into my veins either

"The feeding station" hahahaha that's so funny. Omg you are so lucky I would love for them to get that close 🥲 my kids are too manic so everytime we're in the garden they just evacuate the area.

Ugh this is probably one of the worst things to happen in the world. When this happens to me I'm hunting around the library like a crack fiend. I check the return bins, the bins, the toilet, you name it, I'm checking it. And it's never there 😢

Nothing more devastating than that tbh. Deliveroo some? You'll need to order like 12 bottles to make the fees worth it but the more the merrier

If only. I live in the arse end of nowhere. Can't even get takeaways here. I'm doomed. DOOMED

Ha, I keep looking over and over at the same shelf like it is going to magically appear. I do ask staff and they look and end up perplexed.
So I end up paying £1.60 to have the book come from another branch, and the system still says there was one on my local one anyway. ARG!

The council reopened the right hand turn at a major set of traffic lights and its regularly adding an extra 10-15 minutes to my commute each way 🤬

My dog just jumped on my lap for a cuddle and I’ve realised he’s wiped his arse on me, so now I have to wipe his bum, put my clothes in a hot wash and check he hasn’t done it anywhere else! 😩

I went to the quiet session in my local sauna and some people were whispering.

The system is lying to you don't let it get to you like this, he's not worth it.

Honestly though whenever this has happened to me I always hope I get see the person who has the book return it, late, so I can pop off at them about what a nob they are

I used to have a similar neighbour…always getting flags out. He covered over a very small Vote X sticker in my window with paper and tape and festooned his house with Reform paraphernalia. No, I don’t know it was him BUT I KNOW it was him. He didn’t drive and didn’t have a car but would police the residents car park like his life depended on it. He also policed the bins and I once found him on my property “checking” we hadn’t stolen someone else’s bin. In short, he was a fucking dickhead.

Why do they do things like this. I swear every council is a joke. Mine have decided that despite paying over 2k a year in council tax, my recycling bin collections are now only once a month. Made worse by the fact that strangers in the street freely walk into my garden and use them as communal bins. Im going to set up a booby trap in them, I don't know how I hadn't thought of this yet
