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

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.

God my ex partner used to do this and it made me want to fucking kill him. That and he would put plastic recycling in the paper bags and vice versa because taking half a millisecond to determine which bag was which was too much for his tiny brain to process.

This one should also be moved the Major Complaints Thread, I will have to make one.

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.

Awww I love this you sound like Cinderella. My old neighbour was like this with the squirrels, she would stand out at her back door with peanut butter sandwiches saying "come on, your lunch is ready" and just generally chat to them. She was 102 years old and the sweetest woman ever.

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.

You have got to be joking. I would go no contact over this

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 😂

Man idk how you can do 5 hour train journeys, I would get so restless I'd just be doing laps up and down the train.

Though I have always longed to be on a long train journey, reading a book, one of those fancy little mini wine bottles to hand. A light breeze blowing through the window. Fields of green in the distance. A handsome young man approaches. We end up wed with 3 charming children; Reginald, Sebastian and Elizabeth. We live on a farm and raise livestock, my farmer husband, who is also a hot rugby player, delivers baby lambs and is a hero. We live happily ever after on our farm.

I need help

Gobstopper-sized hailstones yesterday and today. In the South Pennines. They actually hurt when they land. Also, (am I allowed more than one complaint?) wearing a winter jumper and scarf in mid-June. Thirdly, sorry, just thought of another one. Not any of our newly-elected Reform councillors have resigned yet.

I’m a teacher. Lots of my classes are either on exam leave or doing internal exams. I only have one lesson tomorrow and it’s the last lesson of the day:(

For the past 38 years DH has not watched football on tv, he has never gone to a match and doesn't even have a favorite team ! But for the last 3 years he has watched almost all football and rugby matches on tv. It started with the women's teams and now both. I already put up with Cricket and F1 -and even the totally boring golf - but this it too much.

I have fallen off the Keto wagon after three and a half weeks of unpleasantness and now keto cramps, I have succumbed to bananas, crisps, wine and sweet potatoes. To add insult to injury I have not lost a single ounce.

My boiler needs a replacement water pump. The new pump will arrive next Wednesday. I live in France and the heatwave is arriving on Sunday - expected temperature is 34c. No showers till Wednesday at the earliest.

Pretend you’re camping; boil à kettle wash in a bucket.

I've put on loads of fucking weight.

I've gone all squidy.

All because I've spent two months mainlining sauvignon blanc and grazing on junk food.

Ridiculous. Jesus Fucking Christ.

There's something wrong with my coffee cup (one of those flask style ones that keeps it warm for a few hours). I take it to work. I do the tip test before putting it in my back and it leaks everywhere. I have dismantled it and put it back together to no avail. I can't make coffee at work because the water in my area tastes like it's pumped from the local swimming pool and my work hasn't got a filter of any sort, so I have to make it at home out of my filter jug.

I can't survive on one coffee in the morning. Why has this tragedy befallen me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Dizzierblonde · Yesterday 21:43

Went to the dentist tonight and am still smarting from his judgy attitude. I had some x-rays and he apparently remembered me as 'unfortunately having a bit of a gag reflex' and made a big show of him and the dental assistant running out of the room, and him shouting 'it's nearly over'. Yeah alright mate, you're sticking a large piece of plastic in the roof of my mouth - twice - it's pretty unpleasant and it makes me gag sometimes. Just to spite him, I didn't gag once - take that, you bastard!

I also went to the dentist today and was tempted to complain about the hygienist and her ham fisted manner... But I didn't.

Which brand? I will only trust Stanley flasks in my Kanken backpack. Yes, I am aware that I am sounding like a brand knob here. Stanley Aerolight. Bombproof, leakproof, probably giant hailstones proof.

@Retailrookie
People at work finish a roll and don’t replace it, AND the cleaning lady stores the loo rolls way out of reach.

Today I finished my wee, then had to stand up and waddle with my knickers down to fetch and open a replacement.

Period cramps again on the fucking Mirena. They’re supposed to stop your periods. I just get lighter 10 day epics that still cramp for a couple of days. Lucky me. Dr keeps telling me it would be much worse without it at my age.

The lido was closed for 2 days for maintenance, so I'm having to go before work on Thursday instead of Wednesday.
