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…..

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.

So many of them are absolute piss takers. They all whinged about European tradesmen stealing their jobs and undercutting them during during the Brexit debate, but at least they actually turned up when they said they would and took pride in their work. So many of them now can't be arsed, charge through the nose and don't even do a good job. A goods tradesman is rarer than hens teeth these days.

My stupid health condition that will not relent. I just want to go back to work. My body will not let me do ANYTHING and it is so frustrating. No treatment exists either so I'm just left in the lurch. UGH!!!

WildUnknown · 16/06/2026 16:23

I took my friends DD out. She was repeatedly offered food and drinks and declined but has told her parents she was allowed to go thirsty..she was also a bit rude in the way she spoke to me. I hinted this to her Mum via text but she didn’t pick me up on it. I was doing them a big favour which put me out of pocket and feel a bit cheesed off as I had no issue with taking her, it’s the lying that bothers me

WaryCrow · 16/06/2026 16:57

The usual. Privatization, and more broadly being a citizen of an inept and corrupt country with many of our rights already removed and the threat of more to come. The stupidity of men.

WaryCrow · 16/06/2026 16:59

With particular reference today to our lack of decent military hardware and while the billionaires grow fat helping oversexed men (all being men) entertain themselves with misogyny and child abuse.

Topsy44 · 16/06/2026 17:22

This morning. A ridiculous pasag email from a young pup colleague.

This afternoon. My teen DD and elderly gentlemen cat mithering at me for food.

Dirty Gooper is my new favourite insult😂

Morrisons consistently shitty produce of late is getting on my nerves. I've just eaten one of their mini beetroot and I cant get the mildewy taste out of my mouth. Everything is always half rotten or a day from expiry. Loads of it goes in the bin. I'm done with them.

Doughnuting · 16/06/2026 17:37

Agree on weather, it’s not summer and also mouldy fruit. Left in the fridge for just three days and come to eat it and discovered penicillin, again and again. Next time I go shopping for soft fruit and tomatoes I’m going to eat it in the car park. And children in work with an inability to listen resulting in the same instructions given multiple times. I’m not even covering up the disdain and sarcasm in my voice any more. Grrrrrrr

AnonyMumAuDHD · 16/06/2026 17:47

My pooches - well one of them. He’s developed a whining, pestering, flouncing habit that he hopes will bully me into giving him treats and feeding him early. Been going on for a few weeks and starts at 5pm like clockwork. I swear he can read the time.

Love him, but not giving in.

LakieLady · 16/06/2026 17:53

Fucking hay fever.

Something has irritated the inside of my nose so much it feels like I've been snorting caustic soda.

Bored pre teen. Horrid red and itchy skin (thanks menopause)

omghereistrouble · 16/06/2026 18:37

Went to use a new loo roll and ended up ripping half of the damn thing off trying to unstick it. Why the hell do they stick the end of the loo roll down?
OH insists jam goes in fridge i put it in cupboard hence I never know where the hell it is half the time when i want to use it. he leaves the margarine spread out but puts the jam in the fridge!

DreamingOfGeneHunt · 16/06/2026 18:59

Tried to have cherries and evaporated milk after dinner. Milk curdled, looked like vomit. Thought I would have some dates instead. Dates have gone mouldy, because they're bastards.

recent mum friend Who was very confident in asking for free help, asked me to do some emergency childcare for her exceptionally difficult complaining child. During the worst 45 mins childcare of my life I asked or where is your dad working away? ‘Yes, partly working and then spending some time with his friends’

so I’m your free childminder whilst daddy nobs about with his mates. I’ve taken read receipts off WhatsApp and I’m never ever replying to any of mums ‘requests’ again. Feel so used.

thank you for letting me rant

Being perpetually on NHS waiting lists for various things and never getting seen whilst struggling to keep working full time without the surgery I desperately need.
I've asked to see the haemaologist privately to try and speed things up a bit and I'm still waiting.

You can just ring up the Nuffield website and book in to see one of their haematologists. Or BUPA. You don’t have to wait for the NHS to sort that for you.

sprigatito · 16/06/2026 19:49

My dad is pissing me off royally today tbh. I shouldn’t be complaining today because I actually had a rare day off from him yesterday (it was my birthday and adult DC looked after him so DH and I could go out) but as soon as we got home I felt as stressed and overwhelmed as ever.

It’s not the Alzheimer’s, it’s not the calling me by my dead aunties’ names or the occasional incontinence or the constant medical appointments, I can cope with all that. It’s the stuff that was absolutely HIM long before his memory started to go. He’s a chaos demon, basically 🤣 he’s never been housetrained and this is by far the longest I’ve ever lived with him (he didn’t bring me up). He’s been here two years and it’s been wall-to-wall batshittery from the off. Hats filled with washing up liquid on the draining board, teabags in the flower beds, mashed potato and strawberries in the cat bowls. Makeshift pisspots in his bedroom (cardboard and sellotape) which he empties out of the window at night so it lands on the front doorstep. I was weeding the front garden the other day and got pelted with huge chunks of stale bread, which he’d thrown out of the window “ for the birds”. Last time we went out without him (adult dc was in!) he broke the back door handle and spent hours lovingly constructing an alternative out of a bamboo stick and a shoelace. He even drew a little face on it.

I love him to bits, he’s a sweetheart. But holy fuck, this caring thing is not for the faint hearted.

Today it's the turn of the admittedly gorgeous vet.
I have been in Spain for 10 weeks and am due to leave a week on Saturday.
I had made an appointment to get my dog rabies vaccination done.
Last week I took his uk certificate in and showed it to him to make sure there's no concerns.
This morning it transpires I must take him next Wednesday. Unfortunately I will be in Portugal so that needs untangling .
Cheers brexit

Psa. People of certain (older) ages must not go on a trampoline without having been to the loo previously.

troutfish · 17/06/2026 16:31

Pushy sports parents living vicariously through their kids.

Parents boasting about how many clubs their little darlings do and just how busy they are.

benchmarking all the time.

TheNinkyNonkyIsATardis · 17/06/2026 16:51

My husband keeps staying up to watch the football, often actually falling asleep before the match is finished. Then coming to bed at god knows what hour.

This morning? 5 fucking 30 am. And he DECIDED TO HUG ME. That was me awake pointlessly for 90m before we even needed to get up (in fact, I didn't even need to be up until 8).

Bastard.

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

Husbands' running commentaries in general can get in the bin. Mine gives me commentaries on every car within a 10 mile radius whenever we are going anywhere, every shit the dog has when we go on a dog walk and every other dog we pass, every set of temporary traffic lights between here and 20 miles away, and the location of various glasses and plates around the house (ie kids bedrooms).

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?? 😔😔☹️

This was me 2 years ago.
I went to the hairdresser and she put a light brown colour on it ( not able to put blonde on chemo hair) and conditioned it thoroughly.
It was still curly but looked more presentable!

Ireolu · 17/06/2026 17:05

My PMT
My very irritating DH who has woken on the wrong side of the bed today and has been an arse. He was off. Wish I went into work on Wednesdays. Waste of my day.
