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 to drive though a major set of roadworks twice a day. They have been ongoing for FOUR years with another year to go. I have only once seen more than 10 men working on them at a time. Which is probably why they have taken FOUR years, with another year to go.
I drive past several signs that suggest their ‘working hours are 8-5’ which is surely some sort of joke as there is hardly ever anyone there when I drive by at 08.30 and 16.00 on the daily.
I wonder why it doesnt to occur to whoever is in charge of this ‘major piece of infrastructure upgrade’ to simply do it quicker by having more people to work on it? And possibly, you know, work at night as well as (allegedly) between 8 and 5, so that the time it has taken would be halved. About four times a year they close the whole road for the weekend and work night and day and blitz it and some progress is made, so it’s clearly possible.

I’ve had a lot of time to contemplate this as I get stuck there for at least an hour of every working day.

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?

@ObelixtheGaul

Is it because I lied when I was 17

Yay!!! Someone else who asks themselves this regularly!!!

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.

We only had hailstones the size of marbles, so you win there lol. I wouldn't leave my house if they were that big as Im only little and would no doubt be knocked unconscious.

Yeah I am actually ridiculously mad about having to wear a big coat in June. Fucking June!!

Lib dems won my area and idk why because theyre the ones who made bin collections monthly after raising council tax 😐

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:(

Omg that's devastating. Do you have to be in all day for that? Reminds me of being in college and on Thursdays I had a lesson, 4 free periods then 6th period was a lesson 😐

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.

I used to be carnivore but I'm too addicted to garlic bread i had to give it up

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.

Strip wash. I grew up without a boiler and it was my only form of cleaning myself I hated it; especially in winter

I've gone all squidy.

Ridiculous. Jesus Fucking Christ.

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 dont even know what to say. I would not trust this man with sharp tools near my mouth. Next time ask him if hes taken his medication today

Lmao yeah you definitely should

@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.

We've all done the pants down waddle

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.

Tell your doctor he'll be much worse off if he keeps running his mouth

Bought a packet of 6 loo rolls last week.
Every single roll has had the first sheet stuck down right along the very end.
Had to practically shred every one to open them!

Hard relate on this. Constant roadworks on the main road to my workplace. Constant, CONSTANT. They do nothing. Everytime I pass, morning, midday, afternoon there is nobody there. If it starts spitting they all fuck off home and get paid for it. Think I might go work in construction

I’m on some very strong painkillers following knee replacement surgery and I can’t have a gin and tonic! It’s bad enough having a very restrictive social life as I’m not able to drive just yet and I live alone so some nights I’d love a drink to relax before bed!

A few years ago I had sciatica. The painkillers I'd been given did nothing for me, so I ditched them as a glass of wine was far more helpful!
