  1. I interviewed for a new role last week and I haven’t heard back yet!

    I mean… did they explicitly tell me I wouldn’t hear back until next week? Yea… but I’m still complaining.

  2. Booked hospital transport for my immobile father in his wheelchair requesting 2 staff escort due to lifting requirements… Hospital transport sends 1 guy in a minibus late for his appointment, and refuses to help me get my father’s wheelchair out of the front door of the house for a 3 inch step… Driver then gets in his bus saying hes ringing his boss to organise suitable attendance and drives off without telling me how long they’re likely to be.

    Rang his office, driver didn’t arrange anything at all.

    Not an NHS problem as they do good work.. Its a shame 1 dept of hospital facilities lets the team down.

  4. I can deal with getting old, Im dealing with my own stupidity of gaining weight over the years. I understand my already not great health isn’t going to improve drastically without effort, and im putting in the effort

    But my god, these peri menopausal mood swings are getting on my tits and making me wish I could take a holiday from myself

  5. I’m not on holiday yet and im down in the dumps (think ive just been way too busy the last two days and have now crashed)

  6. Various bits of work stuff are annoying me. Some of which I’ve caused so really can’t complain there.

    Imposter syndrome is kicking in as I actually have to do the work in a new role (I’ve spent the last few months still finishing up my old role instead) and I very much feel like I know nothing again.

    Add in a general feeling of trying to do everything for everyone at home and I’m permanently frazzled and annoyed.

  7. The fact that it’s Thursday and not Friday is annoying me.

  8. Its not Friday afternoon and in 90 minutes I have a meeting with some expensive consultants who don’t seem to know what they were employed for. I’m not sure either as apparently their specialism is what they are supposed to be doing and they are well I’d say immediately confused but it’s taken them 2 weeks to tell me.

    Dread to think how much they are being paid to then ask me what it is they need to do.

  9. I’m so stiff and achey I need a rack to stretch me.

  11. This weekend my sister and her boyfriend are moving across the country to be close to me and my wife, and are temporarily moving in with us. She hasn’t even arrived and has already annoyed me by changing the day they’re arriving last minute.

  12. I have “protected my peace” for over three months now after my breakup, lived like a hermit mostly and now kinda forgot how to flirt

    There was this really cute woman across the bar singing the song playing as I do and she actively looked at me multiple times, smiled and pointed at me when I did the “are you looking at me?” thing like

    Even after that I was like “surely she is drunk and does not want to be bothered by me” and after a while she left.

    Good job, me, way to go!

  13. I hate packing. I just want to be at the hotel with my cup of tea already.

  14. Got flashed on the M1 at 03:00 this morning. No signs or warnings about closed lanes or speed limits. So did two other Lorrie’s. Half a mile down the road saw workforce fixing the lanes. I’ll look forward to shitting myself for 2 weeks…

  15. The 43 bus driver wouldn’t let me off before a diversion in the City, obviously I asked why he was being a prick but then he called me a fat cow and proceeded to insult me personally for the whole rest of the journey. So that was fun.

  16. Just watched someone use the hash brown tongs for the hot breakfast buffet on the meat products and then put it back in the hash browns. I hadn’t had my coffee yet so no filters are engaged and basically told them they’d contaminated food for any non meat eaters. She was not best pleased with me.

  17. Got a fucking massive job on the go that’s probably 3-4 days worth of work that I have to get done in 2, all because the fucking chocolate teapot of a new manager is shit at his job. Yet suddenly it’ll be my fault when (not if) it’s not done.

  18. Our house sale seems to have fallen through because of the bottom of the chain, again, system in this country is so messed up at times!

  19. It’s not Friday and I’m not on holiday.
    The next few weeks/months are going to be super busy (our own doing) so I’m already a bit overwhelmed. But it’ll be okay. At least the sun is shining, my hayfever is improving and summer is coming!

  20. Have had an annoying thing happen at work,

    I was meant to have last week off as holiday, this was approved a while back.

    Where I work recently shifted to Dayforce and you’d think you know my week off would’ve been input but there was some issue doing so. I did ask my manager about this when I realised my holiday was not in the system and was sort of told ‘don’t worry about it’

    I had to come in one day last week to kind of square things up with the amount of holiday I had left (As in I was messaged during my apparent week off and asked to come in) and then I’ve been told this week that actually my manager couldn’t put my holiday through as I’ve run out of holiday days

    I’ve been told I can do a bit of overtime to make this up and like on the one hand I know the sensible thing is to take the overtime but I just don’t wanna.

    It’s also a ‘ok so you guys screwed up and this is now my problem, why?’ like you couldn’t have sorted this out a while back?

  21. I was diagnosed with a condition last year that was causing my knee cap to pop out when I walked and was causing me quite regular pain. The surgeon said its a dead cert I ll have osteoarthritis in 20 years but much sooner if I didn’t ensure I stayed at mobile as possible so I stay as active as possible and have been doing a lot better.

    However when I was having it investigated, the physio made a passing comment that my big toe joint looked like it should be causing me pain but never had any trouble at that point. So of course the past few weeks I m now getting problems with my toe and most of the possible causes aren’t going to be “curable”.

  22. Woke up early, went back to sleep and dreamt about my late father, how he was before he got ill and he gave me a big hug, so I woke up tearful and I’m crying now just thinking about him.

  23. Had to work last sunday so every day feels like it should be the next.

  24. I was part of a 3 person web team at work, all others in the office relied on us for maintaining and building websites.

    My team lead went on maternity leave last Friday, my other colleague handed his notice in Tuesday.

    I’m now the sole point of contact for anyone else in my office who needs web work done. I’ve got to train up all the newbies and I’m hardly qualified myself.

    So much bloody stress!

  25. Still got a cold, blowing my nose like no tomorrow. My nose and the skin below it are so dry

  26. Really tired this week and have let good habits slide (like gym, eating healthily) which have made me feel even worse.

    Ah well, I can have a week off in the long-term I guess but it is still annoying that it happens.

    Other complaint, looks like it is going to piss it down this weekend and make a total mockery of the arrogant plans me and my friends made. We got too confident in the sun and now the BBQ on Saturday and the massive outdoor beer garden we’ve booked for Sunday are looking like shaky plans.

  27. Went to visit old friends over the weekend. They’ve got kids now. Kids want to play Mario Kart. Heh, I was playing Mario Kart before your dad could talk. I’m going to crush them, and crush them I did.

    Couple rounds of that and I put my adulting hat on. I teach them how to do a speed start, expecting them to be wildly impressed with my secret knowledge.

    > Why did you tell me?

    I was struck dumb. What’s going on in this kid’s life that an adult giving them a leg up is unusual?

  28. Have had a rough week – extended family death whilst trying to empty the kitchen for a two week refurb. I wanted to spend today on myself, sewing. Instead, the dog refused his morning walk with my husband (he was evidently in pain), but wants it now my husband’s at work. My ME has been quite bad, but I’ll have to take him anyway, which will make me unable to do anything else today 😭

  29. I’ve worked very hard over the past ten years, excelling in my role at work, but because I don’t kiss enough ass of the right people, I’ve failed to get a promotion over the past two years. Now, I don’t care and can’t be bothered. I’ll do my job, but only the bare minimum.

  30. Is it true that once you have a friend set you don’t need any more once you get into your 40s? I keep trying to reconnect with old friends (because I’ve kind of run out) and they’re thrilled to see me, we talk for ages, then do the old ‘we should get together soon’ and it seems I’m the only one who means it.

    So, 40s sucks. Anyone want to go to the zoo or something?

  31. Didn’t sleep the whole night due to earache. Called GP at 8 and waiting for a call back, plan is to pop into a pharmacy if GP doesn’t call by noon.
    Excruciating pain that doesn’t let you sleep even after a paracetamol is 😭 Not the first health issue this year, I’ve had enough of it.

  32. I want to get the 2 bikes that have been sat in the shed for years sorted out. I’m totally useless at bike maintenance so was going to take them to a local guy in town to spruce up. Turns out they both have flat tyres, neither will fit in the car, and buying a bicycle rack for the car is insane (seems to be so specific to your car model, and I also don’t want to spent £100+ as we won’t use the rack regularly).

    Looks like I’ll be walking into town with them one at a time. Urgh.

  33. I’m being asked about content that the person who was micro managing me knows I didn’t get because she was stood right next to me just so she can flip her lid at me – meanwhile she gives a shit brief and it’s all fine “it’s a learning”

  34. My wife is towards the end of her first trimester and isn’t feeling very well. She’s also on antibiotics because of a UTI which makes things worse, and couldn’t keep food or liquid down.

    She called 111 and was referred to a pharmacist who told her to wait for the morning GP, rather than do something useful like referring her to an advanced nurse practitioner or what have you.

    I went to the same pharmacy to go and get some diarolyte, who then looked at me with a right face on because I dared to come in at 8pm, an hour before they closed, to get something for my sick pregnant wife.

    So, fuck you, pharmacist. Useless prat.

  35. I’m part of this online group for women in my town to get together and make friends. It’s a great idea, but there’s one person who dominates all the chats in the group and responds to everything immediately as though it was directed to her personally.

    Whenever the organiser makes an event, it’s always the same lass responding less than a minute later like “have you considered changing the meet-up location? Have you considered weather on the day? Did you check the bus timetable?” Etc.

    I realise that this is mostly a me problem and not a she problem. It’s good to be enthusiastic, it just feels a bit stifling at times.

  36. bats… bat fucking legislation… fuck them, i like bats but FUCK the cost of having to build around the little cunts!!!!!

  37. I’m furious there’s no cake in my house. I’m on the verge of burnout at work and I’m mostly getting by by eating my feelings. Being well supported by HR, apart from they haven’t arranged a constant delivery of cake to my home

  39. I have a nemesis. I live in a second floor flat and the downstairs neighbours have a bay type window. On the roof of that bay sits, all day every day, a sparrow, chirping away constantly with his shit birdsong. Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp. How can such a small bird be so damn loud? If I go to the window in the front room, he looks back at me for just long enough to let me know that he’s not scared of me. It’s a look that clearly says “fuck you”. Then he hops off the roof and flies into the bush over the road. Ten minutes later he’s back. I can’t leave my windows open overnight cos the little prick starts up at 5.30am.

    I wish I had a cat.

  40. Yesterday, someone prevented me from parallel parking in a free, extremely convenient road space because they were right up my arse. They refused to reverse, then were trapped by another car behind. I pulled in to let them pass, and someone else then parked in the space. I nearly cried with rage.
