Thought I would create a thread for all the everyday irritations that are too petty to share but get your blood up. Whether your oestrogen and agreeableness has deserted you or you are just generally feeling a bit pissed off with things- I feel it’s always better to get it off your chest. And in that spirit-I will begin…

I have a lovely relationship with Vinted (I buy too much shit on here) but it really gets on my nerves when people:

  1. post photos of shoes with foot cheese evident all over the soles (ick).
  2. soneone posts something with a stain saying ‘it will come out in the wash’. So wash it you dirty gopper.

Also ‘DH’ stop leaving your dribbling toothbrush and bog blocking shites in the loo for me to tackle. Fucking beast.

That is all today.

Possibly…..

This bloody cold. Sick of it.

Waiting on a plasterer to board my bathroom wall. Was told yesterday “first thing in the morning.” Now it’s “we’re not sure.” Angry Hardly has an emergency job before coming who even has emergency plastering jobs?! All tradesmen grind my gears.

Next sizing. Half their essentials t shirts are M L XL - the others 12 14 16. All seem completely random in their actual sizing and cannot get the same top online as in store. Completely and utterly random.

Bolloxtoitall · 16/06/2026 10:20

Colds are shite. Fuckers.

Yes, yes re the laissez-faire attitude of tradies re your time. My experience is they have a very keen sense of their own and always crack our the door at 3/4pm no matter what time they deign to turn up…

Also Next sizing. Make it make sense you twats.

dh is updating his phone contract. I DO NOT NEED A RUNNING COMMENTARY about how shocking the vodafone website is, or how difficult it is to understand the contract variations, or how he now needs another password. If you need to speak out loud when you're on your computer please go into another room!

Oh and in the space of my writing this he's told me twice that he thinks he's saved £17.

My response "Ah that's nice dear". What I wanted to say was "I'm not f'**ing interested"

The AIBU board!
So many women just accepting that their men - do not clean, do not bathe the children, do not..., do not....
And these women all work FT jobs and/or pay most of the bills.
How did we end up here and why are we propping up pointless men?

Bolloxtoitall · 16/06/2026 10:51

Ah! Yes - yea olde info dump about stuff I couldn’t give a shiny shite about. This includes protracted conversations on anything contract/white goods and Which recommendations/ your electric car and tariffs (the fuck) and the sense in putting the white good on in the early hours re cheap tariff. Also never wanting to buy a carrier bag and preferring to juggle the shit to the car on point of principle…

Oh yes and switching off lights.

So weird.

We are not poor/up against it.

He doesn’t mind trading his car in every few months with the cost that involves!

PissTakePeg · 16/06/2026 10:57

Arthritis because I wanted to go for a long walk. The weather, because I'm cold. Vet bills. In fact, fucking everything. 😡

shellyleppard · 16/06/2026 10:58

Waiting for a delivery/collection but no specific time given....but just had an email saying I'm number 9 on the collection list!! Whoop whoop!! 😁 🤣
Also my son went on his first holiday. Assured me he had dealt with all his dirty washing on holiday.....came back with a bloody suitcase full 🙄🤬🤬🤬🤬
Second load on right now.

shellyleppard · 16/06/2026 11:00

@Bolloxtoitall agree with you about the bog blocking poos/turds 🤬🤬🤢🤣🤣
My son does this but he's very good at unblocking the toilet now.
I refused to do it and waited for him to get home 🤣

LuckyHazelFox · 16/06/2026 11:01

Frigging flies in the house. Especially the one bastard that I just can't get rid of in the lounge. It's been buzzing around me for 3 days now.

Bolloxtoitall · 16/06/2026 11:11

Lucky- I really hate those drowsy twat flies - they are lingerers but get a shift on when you try and swot them. Bastards.

Sodding hayfever.

Our entire team were a symphony of sniffing and sneezes in the office yesterday. Half the team want to claw their eyeballs out and I have a snotty feeling throat.

Can't get away with it even when working from home because I can hear other people sniffing on teams meetings 😤

Bolloxtoitall · 16/06/2026 11:18

Pink- irritation on all sorts of levels there!

Am trying to buy some beauty stuff. Does any one site have everything I want? Nope! So now I need to piss around on Sephora for my tubing mascara, Boots for brow pens and TK Maxx for face cream incurring delivery charges along the way, meanwhile only Superdrug seems to have decent previews of their nail varnishes and literally nowhere seems to do colourful glittery nail varnish anymore FFS!

DilemmaDelilah · 16/06/2026 11:23

Not a lot today 😁. Morrison's didn't have the flowers I ordered, not the bread rolls. Luckily I have marigolds in the garden and we don't HAVE to have burgers, or we can have them when we next go out and can pop into a shop.

Next sizing!!! What the actual....? My DH is a 32 regular in trousers. Always. So I order him some 32 regular chinos from Next. Do they fit? No they do not! They are I think at least 3 inches too small at the waist. They went straight back!

I was just about to moan about dating and the apps but you’ve made me feel better about being single 🤣

I burn lemongrass oil and it seems to clear the feckers out.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 16/06/2026 11:27

Tax form that’s just landed in my email. I have zero idea how to fill it in. Procrastination in progress.

MyOtherCarIsAPorsche · 16/06/2026 11:28

I would like to know how copious white speckles of toothpaste get on the mirror, on the towel radiator and on the window sill. H swears it's not him and I know it's not me. It's an absolute mystery.

Also, who has piddled up the tiles at the side of the loo?

who has opened the cereal box upside down?

who sprinkled rice all over the kitchen floor?

who leaves packets of biscuits open so that they go soft?

who puts on mud encrusted boots with deep tread and leaves dried clumps of mud/grass throughout the house, including kitchen, sitting room, hall stairs landing?

who crammed the towel down behind the radiator instead of folding it in half and sliding it on?

who uses one teaspoon until it goes dark brown and rough textured?

who spills a drink across the entire length of a room and carries on as if they're completely unaware of it?

who always coughs/hoiks up globs of mucus before they enter a room/before they begin to speak?

who bellows hello into their phone in the most irritated and aggressive fashion to everyone who rings?

who innocently pretends not to hear so that you have to repeat things several times?

who has the audacity to ask direct questions when I'm counting stitches?

oh I could go on ...

and he denies it all

Enigma54 · 16/06/2026 11:29

My fucking hair! I’m on chemo (permanently) and my hair has decided to grow. Except, instead of my lovely dark curly hair coming through, it resembles a bloody wire pan scrubby thing ( including the texture!)

It’s DD’s graduation in 5 weeks, WTAF am I going to do?? 😔😔☹️

bebefin · 16/06/2026 11:30

Being 8 days overdue and a natural birth skipping out of my fingers!
Asked for monitoring instead of induction (they induce at +7 now!!) and baby looks fine but I’m scared & frustrated that he won’t come before my induction Thursday.
It’s not fair. All my babies are overdue and huge! Wish I had a 38 weeker 7lb sounds like bliss 😮‍💨

Pickledonion1999 · 16/06/2026 11:33

DH has my car as his is in the garage so I'm limited where I can go.
Grey roots have come through at an alarming rate, hairdressers appointment isn't for another month and DS's graduation the day before.
Our garden has lots of trees and baby birds keep falling out of their nests etc. mother birds are squawking constantly and I cannot let the dog into the garden at all or have the patio doors open. I have already had to rescue one baby bird from inside our house this week that the dog chased in- I did not touch it and it seemed to be ok. This blooming baby bird situation is stressing me !
DD has just learnt to drive and already done a' big' trip from Bournemouth to London and worrying me. I'm stressing about her getting back safely.
