What’s annoying you today?

[SparkleHorse82]

I’m in such a grump. A member of my family is having surgery later this week and I’m anxious about it, and it’s just making me fed up with everyone and everything around me.

Bad drivers. Rude shop assistants. Litter. My broken kitchen bin lid. My kids fighting with each. Just furious about everything today. I probably need a cry but I can’t get it out, I just feel angry.

Make me feel less alone….! What are you fucked off about today?

One way flights are more expensive than return flights. It’s really rude and unnecessary. Apparently it’s because the airlines think only businesses by one way flights for their employees so they can exploit them 😡

I feel your pain. I couldn’t get to choir tonight because my van is in the garage getting a new clutch 😢

Dust, GCSEs, the price of food. Most other things. And some other total arsehole lucky person won the last Omaze house (congrats though obviously, if it was anyone here)

My washing machine has shimmied out from under the work sure and is now sticking out about 12 inches. I've tried pushing it back but it's too darned heavy and just sits there looking pleased with itself. I think it's planning a dash for the backdoor.
Also, found my DH (who has dementia) wearing the TOAST trousers I'd treated myself to on Vinted while they were still damp from said washing machine.

Surface!

That im so tired ! Nothing seems to be helping and my doctors keep rearranging my blood tests due to staff sickness,which I totally understand but ...just ...urgh !
Hate wasting days !

I’m so so itchy on just one side of my body. It keeps migrating. Right now it’s my right shoulder and hip. Wtf?

Last night I went to the gym with DP and I had the pulldown bar whack me on the back of the head. I had an instant panic attack and we went home. I just cried, i feel so useless. I was diagnosed with adhd and idk how long it will take for medication to start. They’re ignoring my emails. DP going away so idk if we can do anything big for our anniversary. Everything’s winding me up.

WhatsApp groups are the worst! I have made it so that no one can add me without me accepting it and it’s life changing!

Volunteering, trying to help. being unvalued, unheard, feelings dismissed.

Big and small stresses here: DM has just gone into a care home (Alzheimer's) and it's triggered a decline. Which means DF is in a spiral of guilt and overdoing things trying to be there every hour of the day. It was the right decision to move her: he's got a terminal cancer diagnosis and she was getting to the point he couldn't manage at home, but he's struggling with it, understandably. I live abroad, so am going back and forth as much as I can between my job and two young children while also supporting remotely.

Oldest DS very possibly has ADHD and is difficult to manage at the best of times and this is not the best of times.

I made a cockup at work - nothing too horrendous, but stress to sort and doesn't look good.

I have a cracked heel that won't heal and is really painful.

Our fridge is broken so have to use a temporary much smaller one in the basement until the landlord gets round to getting a new one.

And now I'm trying to fight two different tax systems which seem determined to take all my money! Gahhhhhhhhh! Adulting is overrated... 😂

Ah, love this thread. I have so many. Grumpy teens doing public exams and being very defensive about any nudges towards revision and then freaking out at the last minute that they haven't done enough revision.

Bleeding freecyclers/olio members saying repeatedly that they will pick something up and then cancelling at the last minute.

Amazon making me wait in for 8 HOURS for a pick up and then not picking up.

Kitchen always being a bloody tip because teens don't clear up after themselves

The weather dicking about so that I'm wearing two jumpers indoors in May.

Washing that never, ever bloody ends.

Me not concentrating properly at work and then not getting enough done and having to make up time at the end of the day.

People chucking their food on the ground and in the bushes in our local park so that the dog eats it and then gets ill.

Grrrrrr

So much sympathy for all your woes.

Can especially relate to the ADHD ones. Myself and DD have ADHD - it's so talked about now that it's easy to think of it as just a 'normal' thing but it really does make day-to-day life so much harder and more intense, particularly with teens/kids.

And the sandwich generation stuff, supporting elderly parents who are themselves having a hard time - so difficult. @ThisIsIrrelevant what you are juggling at the moment sounds monumental.

maybe she is trying to get as much time with you as possible for some reason?

Dental pain after almost 6 weeks after a deep filling was placed (radiating jaw and neck pain) but my tooth is not calming the nerve and I am losing sleep, the dentist is off on holiday but since a tap test was ok before she went on holiday, she sent me away and then another dentist seen me a few days later on an emergency took an xray (charged me over 20 quid for that 2 second xray) said... its deep (ffs we know!) it can take 6 months to heal.... I can not do 6 months, 6 weeks have been so much stress already! I feel like it is pressing on an exsisting nerve thing in my jaw area and amplified it...

Yeah I have thought this, but its always been like this, she had to have skin to skin to sleep as a baby. But she is needing more support than her usual to sleep at the moment. I sometimes fall asleep before her 😆. I know I'll never get this time back, I need to embrace it 🙂

It's very much a first world problem, but trying and failing to get concert tickets for me and my kids. I hate it so much!
I know I don't have to do it but occasionally there's something I would love to buy tickets for. It just feels like such a scam these days. Disappointed and sad.

I went to get nano brows done , didn’t want powdered brows , I think they look so fake !
Beautician talked me around to getting the powdered ones .
Shock , horror they look fake 🙄
So annoyed with myself 😒

I am a trustee of a local charity, and it's treasurer. It's our main event of the year soon and I am busy getting ready for it. I always try and respond as soon as I can to e-mails.

Today the chair has sent me two things, one demanding I approve something (I have already agreed in principle) ASAP - doesn't actually need my approval at this point and the second wanting to meet me on site tonight or tomorrow to review some physical papers he forgot the last time we met.
The approach is perfectly designed to irritate me!
I will sigh and go and deal with it now I suppose.

NHS - had yet another round of phonecalls with them and their absolute failure to progress diagnosis of ADHD and Austism in my son. Been on waiting list for 2 years and its going to be another couple of years for autism. He is getting kicked off the waiting list for ADHD as he is about to turn 18 and they don't have an adult service. So going to have to go private.

Getting my washing out of the machine and finding I’d left a tissue in a pocket and my dark wash looking as though it had been snowed on.

My Brompton G-line bike’s folding mechanism. I keep telling myself I will get used to it but so far I haven’t. No lost fingers yet.

No one rings me back

the builder
the roofer
my insurance company

it’s so draining

My mother. She won’t be told even though I am in the right. Shes being wilfully ignorant and sticking her head in the sand about a piece of basic life admin and it’s driving me fucking mad.

Today I am annoyed by my back pain. Teenage sons not replacing the toilet roll. Leaving stuff on the floor which I struggle to pick up
