Fell off my bicycle and broke my wrist, stupid fucking tram lines
In the last 6 days, I’ve driven 1000+ kilometres in France. The roads are smoother than a baby bottom!! Why can’t we have these roads in the UK?! 😭
Sofa from Sofaworks was supposed to be delivered yesterday. Got rid of our old sofa a couple of days ago.
Didn’t get round to us, next delivery date in 10 days time. £120 delivery fee and we’ll be sitting on dining chairs for over a week.
Why is it so hard to get anything done these days?
I have a couple of bikes that need fixing. Take them to the bike shop, right? No. Phone for an appointment, bring them in only when we say so because we don’t have space. Next month. Maybe. I work full time, I don’t know how busy I’ll be next month but usually flat out all day.
Spend a load of money on a new bathroom. Great. Now the lights are flickering. Can you get hold of the electrician? That’s another day of messing about.
Can I take some rubbish to the tip? Oh, only if it’s the right type of rubbish. Otherwise you can only take two bags at a time. So I’m spending half my day going back and forth, or more likely just doing two bags and then forgetting about it for the rest of the month. There’s plenty of space in the skip, can’t I just… no.
Must be great being retired, you have all day to do the things you always wanted to do.
No food in for breakfast or lunch, and my colleague is out so its going to be an intense day of “emergencies” from twats who don’t know how to prioritise. FML.
Summer holidays with a disabled, behaviourally and medically complex child are exhausting and isolating, but that feels just like a big bag of empty words that comes about 1/100th of the way of describing how literally fucked we are only 1 week into the holidays. We’ve had a covid type virus so moral is low! First days of respite care today and tomorrow for some quiet 🤫
Put the wrong sodding bins out, didn’t I? Dickhead.
Absolutely knackered. Haven’t had a full night’s sleep in a while.
Car is making a new noise and I’m dreading finally getting it in the garage because I’ve just bought a house and I’m spending left right and centre.
I’m a big sneezy bastard this morning. I take citirizine but it’s apparently doing nothing for me today. Roll on 9pm so I can go back to bed
I’m trying to book a swimming session for me and the kids with the local Better leisure centre. Except because they insist on the kids having their own accounts for swimming lessons, I can’t log in using my email (which I used to set up their accounts) because it’s associated with too many accounts. And I can’t find the original email with my membership number because searching my inbox for the word “better” brings up thousands of results.
I’ve set up a new account using a different email and now the session I wanted is fully booked.
Currently in the process of buying a house. Incredibly frustrating how banks, solicitors etc are up my arse to get things sorted, then seem to take their sweet time sorting everything on their end.
Ugh, everything xD
I have some nice neighbours who smoke outside my bedroom window, one of them is down there every morning at 6:30 smoking and watching shitty loud Facebook videos . Tried being polite and speaking with them but their answer was there is an ashtray there so this is the smoking area.
Nothing beats waking up early to the smell of cigarettes with a tune of mindless reels
The house round the corner decided to have a rave from 2-6 this morning, waking up the entire street. Absolutely staggering how selfish and wanky some people can be.
On sick leave, and I’m bored.
In the run up to it, I was really looking forward to it – thinking about how many books I’d read, long walks I’d go on, etc.
As it is, I’ve mainly been napping and playing Stardew Valley… Feels like I’m wasting my time off.
Also, there’s an internal job vacancy going up soon that I want to apply for but I don’t know exactly when the advert is going up. So I’m spending far too much time checking my work emails…..
People at work being lazy, then when they’re off we have to pick up the slack and get blamed for things not being done by clients. Had to fix multiple things this week because of it, which means everything is taking twice as long.
Also people who call us to clarify what their solicitors want. We aren’t the solicitor, in the time it takes you to call us, then us call them, and then call you back, you could have got it sorted.
Finally, warm rain. Need a coat as otherwise I’ll be soaked, but it’s too warm for a coat so I’ll end up sweaty anyway.
Complaint #2: colleagues fucking about with the air con. And there’s one colleague that I’m always catching strays off. I need a nickname for her.
Toxic relative has really upset me recently. The day is coming in the not-too-distant future when I won’t have to have anything to do with them ever again.
Needed to get son referred to the specialist dental team for disabled children as it’s unlikely he’s even managing check ups without sedation and a lot of extra time, did an e consult for the GP with all the info they d need to refer him to try to save them for an appointment.
They proceeded to book an in person one with a 2 week wait, went to the appointment and the GP is insisting they probably couldnt refer themselves, and wouldn’t look up the criteria I d previously read whilst I was there so appointment lasted 2 minutes.
3 hours later after they spoke to another GP, oh yes we can do it no problem.
They wasted a 15 minute appointment slot on something they could have solved without seeing my son in person.
My wife has been out of work since December, and has not had much luck with interviews. This changed earlier this month when she had 3 interviews for one job over the course of a week and a half, with the final interview being on the 11th. Since then, she heard nothing at all until yesterday afternoon when she got a generic “Going with someone else, blah blah” email. Nearly 3 fucking weeks of radio silence just to get that?!
Today is going to involve applying for Universal Credit, fucking great.
Someone pulled out of a junction without looking and drove into the side of my very nice-to-drive car.
Now that car has gone off to car hospital to be fixed and I’m stuck with a horrible-to-drive courtesy car for the next six weeks (minimum).
Please can we all just look both ways before driving onto a main road?
£4.50 to return shoes that didn’t fit. I’ve bought from this place loads of times and never returned anything, so I’m not a serial or anything.
“First we kill the high-street, then when people have no options left, we charge what we like!”
The new thing near me is to extend your house the full length of the garden. Not just sticking a room on the side, but a full 11 metres taking up all of the lawn. Already hate it and it’s not built yet.
Seeing people out in the daytime in their pyjamas 😠 it was bad enough seeing them on the school run and /or supermarket…. Now it seems people just wear them whenever/wherever.
Why can’t people get dressed??😡
We will be back in loin cloths soon at this rate …”huff”
Job Searching.
If the role doesn’t give a salary range, and the first question when applying is ‘what is your current salary’, then don’t bother applying unless you’re prepared to severely undersell yourself. The last two I’ve said ‘competitively’, got rejected from both inside 24 hours.
And that’s before you start with the roles that do give a salary range that’s way below the market rate. Or tell you the interview process will take 5 rounds of talking to various people who clearly can’t be arsed to organise themselves to be in the same room or teams call all at the same time.
Two for me!
First is kinda mixed which is good, but I’ve been cutting down on my intake to lose weight, and since I primarily WFH I’ve found this so far to be a great decision. Already lost nearing 5-6lbs alongside exercise, but mannn I still really enjoy my food and its so hard to not just snap & eat everything within sight lol.
Second is my new build is delayed again, and its driving me insane now. Delayed from March to May, May to July & now supposedly should be ready at “some point” in August. I’ve already thrown stuff out so its just waiting for the moving date.
Not to mention I really want a new sofa which takes 12 weeks to build/deliver, but I daren’t order it until I know I’m moved in with no address issues etc.
196 comments in 2 hours, incredible work everyone!
Mine is – my stuff always goes missing. I bought some trainer socks for holidays. GONE.
My North Face cap (for holiday). Vanished.
The orange screwdriver for taking the Ring off the wall to charge – ALL 3 HAVE DISAPPEARED.
My dad keeps booking family stuff when I’m not available, either during my work hours or when I’m running my club. He doesn’t think to discuss it with me beforehand and it’s pissed me off
I need a filling. Just a bit annoying really.
As someone who doesn’t have kids I hate the school holidays. Theirs kids screaming on outside running around and I’ve just woke up a hour ago. Shut up!!!! Grrrŕr 😤
Can everyone please for the love of Christ check if they had PCP finance 🤕
Constant hip pain. Stress. Family issues.
got put on anti-anxiety medication three weeks ago, and the fuckers have only made my paranoia worse *and* given me horrific nightmares about real fears i have
Stupid car threw up a warning light. Unfortunately with my car that could mean anything from the engine has been abducted by aliens to it’s one day overdue its service or it’s having big feelings about nothing.
Feeling a bit deflated as someone who I thought was a mate is getting married and I’m not invited to the wedding. We hang out quite often, but his reasoning is that we don’t talk outside of WhatsApp groups and only see each other in a group. I get that, that’s fine. But I’ve also been added to the stag do group chat and of course he wants to go abroad. People think I’m being petty that I don’t want to spend all that money when I’m not worthy of a wedding invite.
I went to McDonald’s on my lunch break yesterday. It was busy and the staff were calling out numbers as the orders were ready. There was a middle aged bloke waiting for his food and when they called his number he yelled at the top of his lungs ‘BINGO’. What is wrong with these people? Do you think you’re the first person ever to come up with that hilarious joke? Do you think the staff haven’t heard that one before? If that was me I’d have wanted the ground to swallow me up.
