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

In the meeting I attended today, no one appeared the know the difference between ’less’ and ‘fewer’.

It was supposed to rain, so I didn't wash my hair. Now it's sunny and the event I thought would be cancelled due to rain looks like it will go ahead. So I have a greasy head 🤔

Omg the drama

My mum is coming to stay at the weekend. Ibwill be subjected to endless complaints because i have no intention of watching the world cup. Apparently she cannot visit when the world cup is over because she is busy.

There is no blossom on my plum tree this year so there will be no plums, ie no plum jam in the autumn and no plum gin for Christmas 😩.
Ditto the damson tree at my parents' house.
They must have exhausted themselves with the mast year last summer.

My GP has stopped offering afternoon appointments, so I will lose a full day of pay when I need to go.
They make me fill out a Patchs form which takes ages, then tell me to phone them, so it takes much longer to get through to them than it did in the noughties.

I have an apricot tree, and I have the grand total of 5 apricots in the 3 years I have had it.
Also no blossom this year.

I've just had to open a tin of tomatoes with a tin opener. After paying an extra 23p for the ring pull ones, only to have it snap off. Livid.

That needs to be moved to the Major Complaints thread.

They never refill the toilet roll when it runs out. Just leave the empty roll on the holder. The toilet roll is kept directly beneath the holder. The bin is also beneath the holder. I've mentioned it daily for the last 5 years.

The birds at my house genuinely harass me after I made the mistake of throwing rice out one time

I get stalked around the garden by my birds. I say stuff like "in a minute" or "when I have changed the dryer" I also talk to my tortoise, then neighbours must think I am a mad old woman.

Mine actually go to the trouble of balancing the new roll on top of the empty one on the holder. I've actually tested this, and it takes longer to do that and get it to stay on, than to replace the roll.

She only visits once every four years to watch the world cup at yours, when she knows you dont watch it? God I would fake my own death to not deal with that

I would not expect you to have any other name from this comment hahaha

I can only dream of having a plum tree, making your own jam and gin sounds divine. I just have a bogstandard green tree. Sometimes bird poo falls from it, yet sadly no plums

I've already gone and changed my roasted perimenopausal self into a cotton midi dress and sandals. Which I brought because last time I did this journey I was so roasted and uncomfortable and my feet were sweaty and bleurgh. I just want to lie down FFS 😂

Save your breath. Mine are all 18+ and it doesn’t change. And one day I will not replace the loo rolls when they run out. But I know they’ll just text me to bring some up from the garage.

Jesus that sounds like such a mare! im surprised GPs even operate anymore, when are they even open 😩 I put off going to mine because it is such a ballache every single time. Was waiting for almost 50 minutes the last time I had to take my kids there, which meant 50 minutes of them doing laps around the waiting room while my brain cells slowly combusted.

I don't care what's wrong with them next time, they're getting some wet blue paper towel on whatever's hurting and that will have to do. Just like the good old days

😂😂 yes! Is there a tiktok or something, or just a quirk the brain of the most evolved species on the planet comes up with, individually, repeatedly.
