What's pissing us all off today?

What's pissing me off today is a misogynistic man trying to throw me under a bus today on Teams in front of 30 colleagues ranging from my level to five levels above me.

I had messages from five different people during the call asking if I was OK.

The man is like bloody Teflon - no grievances seem to stick to him. I left work early and went the pub with the dog. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

I'm here to ask for solidarity for anyone else who is thoroughly pissed off today and see if we can fume together.

One of my fans broke last night. Moved it across and one of the supports that holds the blade cage snapped off. It was 32 years old. Got 1 other fan

This morning I ordered a replacement. Had to check the delivery date as a couple on Amazon said will said delivery on 2nd SEPT!

Ordered one and found an Amazon locker on a slight diversion from my journey to the office tomorrow. You probably can predict that the fan won’t be delivered until late evening. No lockers were available nearer.

Pissed off to get stuck at temporary traffic lights. There is about 200m coned off with no sign of any work being done.

Dont cone off sections of road and put up temp traffic lights until work has started

Idiots mixing up your and you're. It's not at all difficult and they mean completely different things.

In defence of comic sans, it’s the easiest font for people with LD/dyslexia to decipher. Otherwise I would agree with you that it should be banned forthwith.

Oh really? I’ve never heard that before and I will very happily welcome seeing it in future! Thanks for saying!

My DH- work cancelled today (materials delayed so can’t work) so he laid in his phone all day and done nothing in the house at all, I have come home from work cooked dinner and done washing - sooooooo angry

ElsieJay · 01/07/2026 19:26

On holiday abroad with DH who has mobility issues and needs to use a scooter .
I’m VERY pissed off at those locals ( obvs can tell by their car registration plates ) who park over dropped kerbs, and park in disabled bays .
It took a long time for the municipalities here to provide these facilities - and now it seems very few people want to abide by the rules.

Why are so many burger buns brioche? Who wants a sugary burger?

Agree, they are gross!

Maybe she is unwell and trying to cope?

PP can still be annoyed.

Been to a hospital appointment which involved limbs being rolled to check joints.

Come home in pain to find the house next door but one(terrace) has been sandblasted and it's obvious it wasn't sheeted. Front of house is full of sand, window cleaner came yesterday grrr.

We’re going away on Friday and my husband and son haven’t even started washing things they might want to take. Told them both last week that I would be busier towards the end of this week and would happily help but would be out of spare time by Wed. They’ve done fuck all. We’re visiting dd overseas and have a long list of stuff to take. Will put all of her requests with my stuff in the cases and they can wear a fetching array of dresses and skirts for all I care. 😂

Please take photos ( and upload them to this thread ) if they have to resort to that !!
I would be raging too …..

I’m pissed off that my daughter is on the other side of the world and hasn’t bothered to even read my last WhatsApp message from 3 days ago let alone reply! Yes there’s a time difference, but we know the good windows and she’s just letting them roll by! Meanwhile it’s now gone 2am, I’ve got horrendous hayfever, work in the morning plus travel to an event and can’t sleep with those little worries creeping in! Honestly sometimes - bloody kids!

Yet if there was a crisis, she would be in touch and expected response ASAP. Or maybe I am projecting from my own daughter…

I’m pissed off that the overpaid VC (who gets paid a grand a day) and the board of my university have decided to change the structure of our colleges and roles with a lack of transparency. Nothing will change for the students but for the overworked and underpaid professsional services staff the uncertainty of our future is quite horrible.

Another uni, another restructure here. Getting rid of the dead wood would be one thing that could help but they never do that. Instead the rest of us pick up the slack. Contemplating quiet quitting.

My family have a habit of dumping everything in the washbin that was sitting around in their bedrooms - the day before we go away. Either I do it all that day, when I've got other things to organise (plus there is too much washing to fit on the line) or I leave it till we get back, and return to a pile of holiday washing plus a pile of pre-holiday washing.

(And yes, it will be me doing it, I seem to be the washing fairy.)

Hmm not sure it is the best. Perhaps for some..
I find comic sans difficult because it has uneven spaces and poorly shaped. Realise I must be an exception. Also have ADHD which impacts reading skills so that could be a factor too.

Femalemachinest · 01/07/2026 20:23

People at work having "private" conversations infront of me in hushed voices. Waiting for me to leave or stopping talking if I pass.... find somewhere else to talk!

Justploddingonandon · 01/07/2026 20:27

Right now, my neighbours are celebrating the football. Loudly, in their garden, and it’s keeping DD awake. They’re not even my direct neighbours, but half way down the row, which gives some idea how loud they’re being.

TigerRag · 01/07/2026 20:38

Next door and hoe loud his music is. I want a wee in peace and not have to listen to his music

Pissed off that I arrived to a shitty email from a colleague (who I line manager) essentially bollocking me for something that hadn’t happened. If they were less incompetent and less self righteous I would have not spent the day with a massive cob on and eaten my body weight in Jaffa cakes.

Oh dear. My record is 40 in one sitting. Did you beat that?

That’s a turn back around and take yourself off to cinema / dinner / walk round the park sort of behaviour

rainbowsparkle28 · 01/07/2026 20:52

Every bloody thing (if you’ll pardon the pun)…can you tell I’m due on?! 🤦‍♀️

My sensory processing system. I'm autistic, and lucky that I don't usually feel these things most of the time. Today for some reason though, it's like everything has turned up to 11. I can't bear either the sensation of wearing my hair in a ponytail or having my hair down. I'm too aware of my own teeth. The ground hurts my feet when I walk. Everything is too loud and too bright. Overhearing conversation sets my teeth on edge.
I have to be in the office tomorrow and pretend I'm a normal functioning human being.
