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…..

My exh isn’t returning the clothes our ds1 has worn to his house which means I don’t have enough joggers for the weekend away. He’s claiming he doesn’t have them but I have a video of my ds1 WEARING them at his house!!!

My mum called me earlier and I was complaining about the above then I realised she was with a friend and I was on loudspeaker 😭 why

People who still feed bread to ducks.

surely it is common knowledge by now that it’s bad for them, plus there are usually signs up saying ‘please do not feed ducks bread’ but people still do it!!

Big bastard flies that keep coming in the house and seem to think there's an invisible forcefield preventing them from pissing off out of a wide open window.

People who persistently phone until i answer just so that they can tell me about their trip to sainsburys.

Hi, Mum.

Well the dog had diarrhoea on her walk , she managed to step in it , got it all over her back legs had to use clumps of grass cuttings to clean her up , got her home ran a basin of hot soapy water to wash her and clean her up , and she was lying on the couch , it’s just been one of those days and I think why bother !🥺

The shoe firm who've sent me the wrong coloured shoes. But I actually like the ones they've sent (which have the correct colour marked on the box). I hate the faff of sending stuff back, and I don't have a printer, to print out the returns label. But I really want them to know they've messed up.
I didn't really need them anyway. I just wanted them. 🤔 👞 👞

petitpasta · 16/06/2026 14:59

Oh the stain comment on vinted annoys me too. It always make me think they know absolutely that the stain won't come off, otherwise they'd have washed it themselves surely?

Ditto things listed as new without tags then the description says it's been worn. It's not new then is it? I don't mind stuff not being new, there's a gorgeous shirt dresses drying on my washing line right now. It's been worn but I am happy to buy it described as that. Just be honest!

My boss and his AI habit. So glad I am leaving and will no longer get his co-pilot drafted nonsensical word soup documents. We all use AI, it's just that some of us have the sense to proofread it first you dickhead!

NotAWurstToIt · 16/06/2026 15:12

Work stuff!
One colleague took it upon themselves to see a message in a particular chat, about a particular subject and decide, without asking, that this applied to all situations and not just that one so proceeded to message everyone “Oh, we need to do X from now on”.
No, Jill we fecking don’t!
I’ve got to go to a meeting tomorrow and it’s going to take hours to get there, be there all day, then hours back. It could be done on Teams, but my boss wants us all to get together, to sit in a room all day to ‘bond’. FFS.🤦‍♀️

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"

Edited

I used to have one like that😂
Tell your husband to get a pac code and Vodafone will be straight on to him asking why he wants to cancel. They will greatly reduce his bill to get him to stay with them. I know from recent experience😊

LetMeGoogleThat · 16/06/2026 15:17

People asking me stupid questions at work, that they know the answer too, the answer that will remain the same...... no matter how many times you ask me 🙄

The Vinted customer who did not bother to pick up their parcel - they are out of pocket postage, but get a refund on the item cost, meanwhile I am out of pocket (marginally) for the cost of the mailing bag, but made a completely out of my way trip to the post office on my way to work because the customer was insistent they needed it sending quickly, which I did. Vinted should charge 20% of the sale for non collection and pay this to the seller for their inconvenience. When item is returned it will have to be relisted, let’s hope that one of the other 40 people who liked the original listing spot it and are still interested.

Fecked off with myself for eating a whole tub of ice cream

ThreeStripeQueen · 16/06/2026 15:30

Yes to flies, why is it so easy for them to come in and so hard for them to get out?

An impatient man who beeped at me for letting two people out. The lights ahead were red so it’s not as though I was holding him up anyway.

DH sitting on his phone for half an hour after work, which is not a problem in itself but then he goes for a walk and rings me to chat while I’m trying to get dinner ready. Just speak to me at home FFS.

People on Vinted who give a sob story for a discount. Sorry I don’t care if it’s your one legged cat’s birthday, I’m not selling a £20 item for 50p.

woodbeez55 · 16/06/2026 15:33

Our neighbours letting their dog bark all the time on a nice day when we'd like to be in the garden. And now their teenage son has come home early from school and is kicking a football around pointlessly with his mates and intermittently playing electronic music very loudly 😨

Girlwithavibe · 16/06/2026 15:37

Thingcanonlygetbetter · 16/06/2026 15:47

Sharing my hotel room with some random family! Well the noise from them.

Mydogisagentleman · 16/06/2026 15:47

Flip flopping about the future of my marriage.
Feeling like a big wet bag of shite. Tired and nauseous.

This will probably make me sound so fussy - shopping for a decent rain jacket that doesn't cost the earth

Have a look at Alpine Trek, link below:

So now I have to get more nerdy than him and google pac code (and look up my current contract to see what it says and when I can be released). 😂

I also have to plan my diary so that I can be pretty available once I've requested a pac code - equally annoying to my dh, is an umportant by unsolicited call by your phone provider when you've got 3 days of back-to-back meetings or 24 hours on an international flight.

However, thank you @ShiftingSand I will look into that. I will do it all silently and when I get an even bigger price reduction than dh (and I have my starting point - it's got to better than £17) I will share with him. Without the hint of a gloat. Or maybe not!! 😂

Someone in the house has taken my last can of peach iced tea and a kinder beuno bar I was hiding!

TroysMammy · 16/06/2026 15:56

People phoning to ask is their prescription is ready or I've rung the pharmacy and they don't have it. "When did you order it? " and the answer is Friday, Saturday or yesterday. The ones from Friday and Saturday were picked up by the pharmacy this morning so yes they do have it but you need to give them time too and the one from yesterday of course it's not ready!

I'm pissed off with answering the phone to people with these type of inane queries. No one is patient anymore. Just because you can order a takeaway at 1pm and can be eating it in half an hour or you ordered something off Amazon yesterday and you've got it today it doesn't apply everywhere.

Potsandpanda · 16/06/2026 15:56

I scraped the skin off 3 of my fingers whilst trying to brush my patio with a hand brush . The amount of times over the last two days I have banged said cuts on cupboard doors, objects and drawers is unbelievable. Plasters don’t work as I seem to wash my hands too much and they become soggy. My neighbours must be hearing me shout/swear in pain/frustration each time🫠.

PetulaGordeno · 16/06/2026 16:08

My other half having no remorse for losing a hat I kept of my dad’s. Who passed away years ago and I had it in a box of things of his I treasured.
I should never have let him use it. My bad, it was a last minute offer as it was 32 degrees out a few weeks ago and he was going somewhere and needed a hat.
There is no point getting upset as it will end up being my fault and I will end up in tears.
My dad was an amazing man, I have 50 years worth of memories that nobody can ever take from me.
I brought the hat back from my very first trip from NYC. Designer, in the posh Barneys bag, he was delighted with it. It was a big dog eared and got relegated to his gardening hat.
I have asked about it a few times and he kept making excuses. He was only out for thee hours nowhere rowdy like a festival or taken it on holiday.
I never ever lend stuff, which he well knows, I did ask him to take really good care of it as he knew of its meaning to me.

Football on the telly every night. We are not all football fanatics - some even hate the game and it’s obscene culture !!

SinceYouSaySo · 16/06/2026 16:09

Mild, returning pain in my wisdom tooth that I had filled last week. I thought I was home free and now I'm scared about all manner of Dr Google info, again! 😠
