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 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.

I would be livid about this. Some things are irreplaceable.

The camper vans and hire cars that clog up our very rural and single track roads. Stopping in random places of brow hills to photograph a cow, a COW!!?. They don't pull over to let other vehicles past and totter along at 20 mph.They have no idea how to reverse and end up ditches blocking the roads with recovery vehicles, making me late for work. And no we don't depend on your type of tourism for our economy!

Oh I agree with the vinted items with a stain! The weather forecast is up there, I keep googling for better opinions but that number keeps rising.

People who lean on their trolleys with their elbows and drift down the middle of the aisle. People who change direction and walk straight at you. I am not invisible just because I am over 50. Cyclists rising side by side, with huge queues behind them, because they are allowed to. Skinny carrots, why just why?

People who start every sentence with: "Im not gonna lie".

Gettingbysomehow · 20/06/2026 09:45

It seems to have replaced "like".

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.

🤣 absolutely echo this! I hate them!

The incorrect use of fecking.

Barney16 · 20/08/2026 17:31

That since I gave notice to leave my house everything has broken or fallen apart. My husband died quite recently so everything is a complete ball ache. Water dripping through the ceiling, washing machine broken, toilet leaking. This morning I moved a book case literally five centimetres and the whole thing fell apart.

Gettingbysomehow · 20/08/2026 18:01

Thd fact that my urgent surgery that the surgeon said should be done the day I went into A&E wasnt done and now its 4 weeks later and I still dont have a date.
Not one bit of food has passed my lips in all that time because anything I eat comes right back up again.
Ive rung the dept every few days and the answer is always you'll have to wait.
How much longer will I survive on water? Im already very underweight.
Nobody has rung to ask if Im ok. Is this the NHS now. Well yes it is because I work for them as a senior clinician. I see this everyday with patients.

'Can I get' In cafes and restaurants. Where did that come from?

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.

Take Antibacterial surface spray - follow the bastard on foot closely. Spray it with the spray in the air, don't try to catch it motionless. After you catch it in the air with the spray, it won't be as energetic and you will be able to follow the flight trajectory on foot better, repeatedly spraying until it falls down and you pick it up in a bit of toilet paper and flush it.

My dd not giving me minute by minute details of a house viewing/offer details. I’m the one who spotted this gem on rightmove, I’m way too invested.

friedaklein · 20/08/2026 18:29

I am really struggling wth both my adult children currently living with me in my fairly small home while looking for house shares.
There's so much stuff everywhere. And they are always cooking!
Its hard in the heatwave.

Missymarple · 20/08/2026 19:09

Emails that just do not get to the fucking point. You're trying to tell us that we've got to use an alternate door to get in the building for the next fortnight. That's two sentences, max. Why are there paragraphs? Why is there a diagram?

Level1469 · 20/08/2026 20:37

DS not putting the food waste bin out despite being specifically asked to, leaving it to fester another week.

DS leaving the freezer door ajar causing defrosting of contents.

The state of DS' room.

DS finding all the above highly amusing.

DS not returning to uni for another 4 weeks.

Howmanycatsistoomany · 20/08/2026 20:43

Cats. If I'm not tripping over the feckers, they're using me as a pillow and they're all moulting so I'm sodding covered in floof and cat slobber.

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

What is it about men and mobile phone contracts. DH will happily sit on a call queue for hours just to get some special deal on a dongle or WiFi thingie, whatever. It's all completely alien to me, I dont give a shit and no I don't care if we move to a different provider, or stay with the one we're on. It's all so freaking pointless.

BipityBap · 20/08/2026 20:52

DH just for existing. He's on a fortnight's leave but I'm back to work next week while he has another week to go. He's been luke warm and faffed about so we've not done anything that we had agreed to do together. It's raining (not his fault) and he's not wanted to go out either.

None of its the end of the world but I'm just a bit bah humbug (the rain isn't helping).

Bloody Green Man festival noise non stop for the entire weekend while we're trying to sleep...
