  1. Got a delivery in work. Four spilt milk bottles all over the fridge. Took a fucking age to clean up.

  2. I failed to get my home bread-making schedule in order and now I’ve run out of real bread. I might have to eat some of Elderly Relative’s soft white pappy breadalike until tomorrow 🤬

  3. Getting a little bit pissed off with Sky Mobile. I moved there a few years ago from EE and I’ve found it to be generally great and very straightforward.

    A couple of weeks ago I swapped my device and said I’d send my old one back. I sent mine back within the 2 week delivery period and they’ve still charged me for it.

    (To clarify, with Sky, you sign up for a contract but get the option to swap your device early and pay your old one off monthly. I’d paid enough of my existing phone off for the value of it to cover the remaining charge)

    Giving them the benefit of the doubt, it’s probably because the 2 week period overlapped the billing cycle. It just irritates me that they’re giving *me* no benny doubts and big fat charged me anyway.

    To add insult to injury I now have to contact them, which is usually a pain in the arse. I miss being able to do it on twitter – their chatbot is next to useless.

  4. Why do people insist on using speakers for their audio in public spaces (like trains, which is what is happening to me right now)? I genuinely don’t understand the thought process.

  5. People driving at night don’t seem to dip their main beams any more.

  6. It’s TS-album-eve. Anyone with daughters will understand. Damn child is more excited than Christmas.

  7. I sold two things on Vinted that the buyer didn’t collect and now the delivery company seem to have lost them somewhere and gave says it’ll take up to 35 days for them to investigate. 

  8. I broke my rib 6 years and it didn’t heal properly. It’s dislodged slightly and is extremely uncomfortable.

  9. Bathe in sanitizer. Wear twenty masks. Become bubble boy. Do whatever you need to do to avoid this flu/covid strain cause fml.

    I have been literally flattened since Saturday. Two of those days I just cycled through fever, chills, and sweating. But I’d gladly go back to that if it meant getting rid of this razorblade sore throat. Oh! And I can’t stop crying at everything and anything, which is an odd wrinkle. Seriously avoid, 1/10.

  10. Been ill all week, and I’m absolutely bored of it now. Suspect it’s COVID

  11. Why does the final minute on a washing machine never take 1 minute? I got a new machine yesterday and it is WiFi enabled with an app. I was monitoring the cycle so I could go down and empty the machine and the final minute took 8.

  12. My son woke me at 5am after I went to bed at midnight. I think I’m dying.

  13. I ran out of (I may have eaten more than I should this week) caramel freddos last night

    The only available alternative was an Aldi Oaty, and they aren’t even the chocolate ones

  14. Bensons for Beds got our mattress order wrong and now we have to pay a £50 fee to get the right one. Bensons’ for Cunts more like.

  15. Forgot my pass at work so I will have to ask other people for theirs to go to the bathroom. Worried they will realise how many times I pee in a day, woooo

  16. i’ve just used chat gpt to help me with a story i am writing and while at first it was great, the robot was able to give me helpul pointers and validate the dynamic i am going for, i took it too far and now i feel a bit hollow as (understandably) the words don’t feel my own and i have guilt about feeding the AI and killing the planet.

    so that’s a lesson learned.

  17. Just been woken up by my dentist to ask if I’m still coming to my appointment Monday. Yes I bloody am, I don’t make £65 torture appointments for fun

  18. Double dipping. I had an appointment with occupational health to talk about reasonable adjustments when I go back with my knackered knee. The person the appointment was with has called in sick so it’s been moved to the day I’m due back. It takes them a few days to process everything and send information to my manager, so (assuming I can go back then, which is looking uncertain because my knee is still nasty) I’m going to have to battle with whoever is running the shift and tell them what I can and can’t do. If it’s one of the managers it should be fine but if it’s the team leader, it’s going to go pear shaped. She’s awful and makes things really difficult for people who aren’t in her little playground clique. I don’t want to go back. At all. Ever.

  19. Posted today – tax avoiding cash in hand / personal bank transfer tradies.  And yes I’d happily pay more for them to pay the right amount of tax.

  20. After a rare foray to the Wednesday Wins thread yesterday, brought back to earth with a horrible cold today.

  21. Houses are too expensive. The prices are made up and people just want loads more money then they bought their house for. Just for the fact that time has passed

  22. Can I complain about the mismatched brackets in the title?

  23. Had my flu jabbed booked and had to cancel because I caught the bloody flu the day before.

  24. Main grumble? Covid. And I’m immunosuppressed so it makes it ever so *slightly* more interesting.

    All because the human population have allowed ***basic*** hygiene standards to slip. My son brought it home after some idiot on the train sneezed/coughed without covering his facial orifices. My son had it last week, thought it was just a cold, I developed symptoms on Monday, tested Tuesday and there you go. Waiting for the pharmacy to get the anti-virals in that I need to help deal with this.

    Ugh.

  25. It’s my Friday and I have a sore throat. I swear if I have the new covid, imma be pissed.

  26. Yodel delivery due.

    Monday, couldn’t find the house.

    Tuesday, couldn’t find the house.

    Wednesday “the driver is experiencing a small delay” with no further updates.

    Thursday, no updates.

    Lived here 7 years and no one has failed to find the address. How the fuck can a courier not find an ordinary house in an ordinary street.

  27. My only complaint today is that the last post I saw last night was the foot long sausage roll, and now I want one for breakfast.

  28. Nearly broke in half doing a pb set of squats yesterday, went for 3×120 first one was great and second I folded over, thankfully didn’t hurt my back b it got it back up. Video on my profile if you are interested.

    Cba with work today but that’s normal autumn blues innit.

  29. started a new job but outside of being made to watch various tediously long training videos, I haven’t actually been prepared for anything. this job involves working with special needs children, and it’s my first job of this role. I feel like further training should be required.

  30. Friendship group across Brighton/London has snapped in two because of cheating.

    Been the only London person invited to a Brighton thing to not cause drama but I have to keep it on the dl and it’s just rubbish yknow.

  31. Strange amount of talk of colds and new covid.
    As I lie here in bed sick as a dog knowing it doesn’t matter what I have, I still have to go to work cause I’m the only full time member of staff.

  32. What’s happened to Morrisons? My local one has closed it’s butchers counter, half of the fridges are “broken” then just have all the stock moved to another fridge, only for them to be blocked by a million cheap suit cases. They seem to rearrange the aisles every other week, so I’ve got no idea where anything is. Looks like I’ll be crossing the road to Sainsburys.

  33. Applied for a new role at work last week, got the inevitable rejection email this week. It is what it is, wasn’t too bothered. My manager pulls me to one side yesterday and basically says that it’s pretty unlikely I’ll ever get promoted unless I take on some extra responsibility or role that I dont get any compensation for. Yeah, that’ll be a hard pass thankyou.

  34. Customer hygiene continues to deteriorate. This time, somebody handed me a £20 note that had been in their mouth.
