This morning on the train someone's phone rang twice. Then someone else's. I wanted to stand up and say 'can you all just put your fucking phones on silent?'
When the conductor walked past me without even glancing at my railpass (which I had out to show him) and the man sat next to me gave me a 'look' (presumably he thought I was fare dodging Hmm) I wanted to say 'and what the fuck do you want?'
Now I can't decide what to have for my tea and that's making me angry. Just another 6 weeks of this to go!
What's making your pregnancy hormones rage?

Oh dear, steps away from slh122

Phones annoy me anyway, pregnant or not especially when people get them out of their pockets and look at the screen for another 10 seconds before deciding to answer or cancel it.

I got annoyed today as I reversed back down a road to let another car past even though we both arrived at the point at the same time (cars on both sides so no right of way for either of us) then the miserable cow didn't even acknowledge me, yep thanks love - shan't be doing that again. Hmm

Ha, I could have stated this thread today!

Bloody Christmas songs been driving me up the wall all day. Had to drop my mum at the train station this morning and all that was on the radio was Christmas songs - and was driving my mums car and couldn't figure out how to switch it off so had to suffer it. Then went into Tesco and one of the local secondary school choirs were in singing more Christmas songs,also annoyed me!

Now I will say I know it's 6 days until Christmas so Christmas songs on the radio and choirs in Tesco not unreasonable at all, its just me. I'm being induced right at the start of new year so it's kind of like Christmas isnt happening this year! We haven't put up any decorations this year as for various reasons hubby and I have spent the grand total of 5 nights at home since december 1st. And as of tonight I'm living with my mum until after Xmas as hubby works nights and is working between now and xmas eve and he's terrified in gonna go into labour while he's not home! So just not feeling the whole Xmas vibe this year at all.

Sure it will come to me eventually but bah humbug in the meantime!

Am at the in-laws' house, with dreadful morning sickness. I'm 12 weeks preggers with twins, and MIL keeps FRYING THINGS. Just stop frying!!! DP has abandoned me to go to a gig with his father, so I'm stuck on the sofa listening to MIL blathering on about what heroes the great train robbers were.

The unreasonable amount of dust in the bottom of my box of Special K Angry

I was ready to storm the Kellog's head office at 7.30 this morning.

Strongecoffeeismydrug · 19/12/2013 22:26

The fact that I can't buy a cider lolly anywhere grrrr it's all I want Hmm.
Did laugh at the worker who told me they couldn't get them as they are seasonalGrin, I never knew they only grew at certain times ov the year lol

Christmas bloody shoppers!! Call me unsympathetic I am aware this will be me shortly (33 wks) but who the f*k shops with a pram in the Christmas madness! Now ok mums have to Christmas shop also but seriously u have been pregnant can clearly see I look like shamu the whale but I continue to ram ur pram into me and tut snootily while I try and manoeuvre my bump and fat a*e around you!! I know this is completely unreasonable but it actually makes me feel like I want to become violent!! Why do we get these horrible raging feelings!!!

ClearlyMoo · 20/12/2013 04:30

Roadworks closing our road that DH had omitted to tell me about as had read letter and didn't think it would affect me. Fuming does not begin to describe my rage. I've not been that angry in a long time. Blazing row (our first) ensued. I ended up going out for a walk. Couldn't drive anywhere cos of works. We live on a farm I walked fast into a gate I forgot was there and banged everything. Now bump hurts a bit and I'm paranoid/terrified I hurt it. Still have the rage about the roadworks and am scared.

Slh122 · 20/12/2013 07:13

ClearlyMoo don't worry I have rammed my bump into things many times when I've misjudged space/simply forgot about how frigging fat I am now. In the stock room at work the other day I walked into a pile of shoeboxes and really hurt my bump. It was sore for ages but baby is fine - if you're worried give midwife a call.

Glad to know I'm not the only getting unreasonably incensed over relatively minor things :) oh and I will kill the next person at work who says to me 'so how long have you got left to go now?' We had this same fucking conversation yesterday. And the day before that. Why do you ask me every bastard day?! Angry

Someone has parked a huge Audi Q7 outside my house for 5 days. Rage.

A woman on 'homes under the hammer' this morning. Just the way she spoke and her slopey shoulders... Angry Angry Angry Angry

The weather reporter, so bloody smiley even though they are forecasting crap weather all over Xmas Xmas Angry
I'm only 13 weeks and recently had a scary bleed (luckily ok now) so decided not to 'announce' pregnancy just yet except to parents but my Mother has decided to tell all siblings and half the village where she lives and I fear she has also let slip to my grandparents and other family members against our strict instructions to keep her gin shut grrrrr!!!! Angry

Went to hairdresser's this morning, had to bear all the usual inane questions everyone thinks they have to ask even though they couldn't give a damn, so gritted my teeth and answered pleasantly (even though inside I was screaming, 'just let me sit here and look out of the window!!!!')

I happened to mention that my DSis is pg too, due 10 days before me, no, we won't be giving birth in the same hospital because DSis is in the UK and we're not.

Hairdresser: oh, will you be going to visit her when the baby's born, then?
Me: er, not immediately, no.
Hairdresser: oh, you have to! otherwise you'll miss seeing your sister's newborn! why aren't you going to go?
Me: Confused (in an excessively calm voice, having just taken a deep breath) because I'M DUE TO GIVE BIRTH 10 DAYS LATER AND SHE LIVES ABROAD...
Hairdresser: oh yeah, sorry, I forgot.

MummyIsh · 20/12/2013 12:41

The fact we bought a real Christmas tree (which goes up by £5 a foot every year) and it doesn't even smell remotely like Christmas. No scent whatsoever, so now having to drag my 37wk pregnant ass out to get pine scented candles, which totally defeats the object of shelling out for real tree!

I know deep down I'm being totally irrational but I can't help myself. If anyone dares cross me I am VILE to them. Including the husband. I even emailed the forestry commission about the lack of scent from our tree and got a really snotty reply back... Friends think it's hilarious but I know I'm being petty and ridiculous, I just can't help myself.

Oh, and other people in general are driving me crazy... Doctors' receptionists, mum's with prams who tut at me because I can't suck my big bump in to get out of their way, people sending me the wrong stuff I ordered from the net, the fact the carpet smells after cleaning it with a proper carpet cleaner, the fact the dog is poorly and has been having the squits over said newly-cleaned carpet. Preggo rage is out of control this week!!

Tiptop32 · 20/12/2013 12:55

Just returned from long awaited appt at physio for pgp. Told its not that bad and as the chiropractor has been helping me I should continue with that.... Oh yeah so I'll just shell out £55 every 10-14 days then...... Fecking physio's

thehouseoflego · 20/12/2013 15:32

I've asked DH about 1500 times to water the sodding Christmas tree, if I get down I can't get back up again. Has he done it, has he fuck. He's now playing toy solders on the x-box. Seriously, just water the god dam TREE!

Arghhhhhh no idea why it's annoying me so much!

BettyBi0 · 20/12/2013 15:50

Aargh! My blood pressure was a bit raised at my last appointment at the obstetrician. Probably because I'd had a horribly painful 1 hour journey there (back injury+SPD shitty combo), then an hour and a half frustrating delay in the waiting room, then a stressful conversation with the Dr about C-sections.... And then they took my blood pressure and wondered why it was high! So they want me to come back today to repeat the experience to check it again to make sure it was just a one-off. WTF!?! It is fine on my blood pressure monitor at home. Not a happy puppy

Cariad007 · 20/12/2013 16:09

I'm angry with a friend who refused to congratulate me on being pregnant and then accused me of lying and betraying her because years ago I said I wasn't as interested in famous serial killers as she was. And no, I am not making that up!

Then today I met a friend who insisted on telling me about her horrific birth experience and said that she tried hypnotist hint, perineal massage and raspberry lead tea etc (all the things I said I was going to try) and it did sod all use as she had an induction, forceps, episiotomy, piles, the whole shebang. Just what I wanted to hear!

Cariad007 · 20/12/2013 16:17

Hypnobirthing, not hypnotist hint. Bloody autocorrect!

insomniacrisis · 20/12/2013 16:28

The cleaners at my work keep spraying airfreshner everywhere. I'm 9 weeks and very nauseous but I now have to avoid the toilets if I possibly can as every time I go in there The stink just makes it worse. Yesterday one of them even walk passed my desk squirting the stuff.
Now this would annoy me even if I wasn't pregnant as I hate artifical scents but now it makes me want to throw something at her.

Mitchell2 · 20/12/2013 20:03

That Asda add advertising the £5 for 1 kg of Brie. It's bloody rude advertising that when desperate pregnant women who are only craving Brie has that shoved in the face. Completely irrational (but actually quite a good deal).

Thisisfreakingmeout · 21/12/2013 08:38

DH rocking up plastered last night, while I was baking his birthday cake, then attempting to "help". I kept having to stop him dipping his fingers into million degree caramel, snapping bits off cake or playing with the blender (good prep for the first DC!)

I got to the end of a complicated hazelnut, salted caramel and chocolate tart and asked him to press Start on the timer. It appears he did not. Singed birthday treats.

If he wants to live, he will eat the whole damn thing.

Fernfrond · 21/12/2013 09:04

My other half thinks I'm making up my pregnancy symptoms (constant nausea/hunger, fatigue etc). I'm looking forward to throwing up on him sometime soon then we will see who is laughing

thehouseoflego · 21/12/2013 13:42

Okay this reason is so utterly stupid....DH can't see why I'm annoyed.

My brother is coming to stay with us for Christmas my dad and his wife are seeing her family anyway this morning a Christmas card arrives from my Dad, it's address to the House of Lego Family.

Yet inside our family Christmas card is address too,
Me, DH, DD and my effing brother.......

FFS send him his own bloody card. No idea why this made me sooooo cross. He's 30yrs old, send him his own card...cheap git!
