What's making you unreasonably angry today? (Lighthearted pregnancy related)

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!

I had a bit of a temper tantrum yesterday. My DP works all over the country and some weeks he can be away days at a time. When we found out we are pregnant he told me we would be priority and things at work would be rearranged when needed. Anyway, we went for my booking in appointment last week and when I was getting excited about the date for combined scan, the first thing he said was "I hope it's not 17/18 Jan as I'm away for 3 days with work and have a black tie doo on the final night" so I told him that we'll see when it comes, he begrudgingly said that he'd drag himself away for the scan as it's only 30 minutes from where he's working. Then he said well as long as I have at least 4 weeks notice I'll be fine.

The date came through yesterday for 22 Jan excited I said oh you'll be happy because it's not when you're away, and instead of being excited, he said, I'm away for 3 days that week and that's the middle day, what should we do. Told him it was up to him and I wasn't changing things as it would set a precedent for the rest of the pregnancy, and said he'll have to ask for the time off. To which he said "well I'm fucked then, I'll have to do the journey their and back" and refused to ask for the time off and went on to say that I'm obviously not going to compromise. I told him nope, not for his work and he's got more than 4 weeks notice which he asked for. I begrudgingly changed the date and told him afterwards but he barely acknowledged me when I told him. I'm still feeling put out by it and that his work is priority plus he took away my excitement of it and hasn't asked once what's going to happen etc spoke briefly this morning, he told me I'm unreasonable (which is correct) but haven't spoke since as I've been visiting my parents today. Anyway rant over. Grrr.

Nearly screamed in the middle of Manchester when I realised the gingerbread man I got for my mum at the Christmas market had broken slightly.

A woman spent an hour glaring at me today because her husband and daughter took the two seats across the aisle from us on the train, and we wouldn't move from our seats so that she could sit with them. We would've done if there were any other double seats on the whole train, and if I wasn't pregnant and really struggling with my back and hips, NO, I am not standing on a train for an hour.

Then a woman glared at me because she was standing in the middle of the aisle on a less-crowded train so that she could have a conversation with a friend - there was a seat right there but no, she had to stand up and refuse to move to have this chat. OH squished past with ease because he's skinny. I had the nerve to accidentally nudge her with my bump because she wouldn't even just lean in a little to let us past, and she turned and glared at me so viciously, even after seeing the bump. Angry

Oh and I tried to reschedule an appointment with the consultant supposed to be on Christmas Eve (for fuck's sake, who arranges an appointment for Christmas Eve?) and the wanker guy on the phone made this tutting noise when I asked and said "Well, you'll have to speak to the midwife to make sure that's ok". I asked why and he kept saying "You'll just have to speak to the midwife, just to make sure that it's ok that you don't come in". It's a doctors appointment on Christmas fucking Eve - I may be young but I don't think I need an adult's permission to miss an appointment Angry so he says "I'll get the midwife to call you back in a couple of hours and you can ask to reschedule". That was 9am yesterday morning, heard nothing back and as far as I'm concerned I've let them know I won't be there so the onus is on them now.

Oh and we didn't have enough sweetcorn so my bowl of sweetcorn I was craving wasn't nearly substantial enough. My housemates have used most of our milk and then gone home for Xmas without replacing it. The snowman has fallen off the top of the Christmas tree and I don't have the energy to get up and find it and it's giving me the rage. I've run out of orange jellybeans.

I have a lot of rage today Sad Angry

Yesterday a friend (who didn't get much morning sickness) gave me so much unwanted pregnancy/parenting advice including 'make sure you enjoy every minute, even when you're feeling ill'
Mmm hmm.....!
