Minor complaints thread

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

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! 😩

Hahaha omg hard relate on this one. Idk if my dog is just really stupid but he always cocks his leg up as if he is doing a wee then does a shit instead. It goes all over him every time I swear to god he does it to piss me off

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

Key their cars

Oh God, How to put me off ever giving in to “having a dog might be nice” thoughts

I seem to have developed a lot of wind in the last year

A likely suspect for this to happen. Just let it all out back into nature

You have to commit to the revenge plot. Maybe write 'no talking in the sauna' with your key, really get the message across

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

Show quote history

OMG bins! That’s another annoyance! Our black bin has just gone to 3 weekly! I pity the poor bin men emptying ours with 3 weeks of bagged up cat poop! 🤢
The junction was originally closed due to pollution targets so I’m currently revving the shit out of my 24 year old diesel while sat in said traffic! That’ll knackered their pollution targets!!

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.

It was definitely him

More effective than my actual action which was to sigh deeply and loudly. To no avail

Hahahaha god I love you already. That would be my exact suggestion of what to do in that scenario. They always come up with these brilliant ideas that just make everything worse and then get a bonus for it.

3 weekly black bin emptying??? I would be fucking rioting

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

Show quote history

I had that, then no periods for 10 years. But now I’ve reached mid forties it seems to have all gone wrong and I get random bleeding far too often. I should probably try something different, but the pill ( or stuff with the same drug) seems to be what they recommend for perimenopausal women.

In all honestly that would be exactly what I would do hahaha. Maybe a dirty look here and there, or if I'm really feeling frisky I might add "goodness me, it's loud in here today"

I can’t find my slippers, or indeed even the fact that I need slippers in June.

Same. I feel so validated.
And I am convinced there is a very farty dog out there that uses saunas and nicks books from the library.

I have let DD9 grow out of her favourite jeans

"Let her"? What could you do to stop it, hang weights off her shoulders? Grin
