A place to rant about things that wind you up ( keep it clean lol)

I think I have no choice except avoiding dairy completely when I'm out in case of alarming adverse reactions, and maybe just try switching to goats cheese at home. It might fix all my IBS problems so maybe its a a good thing... but I will really miss those cheese and mushroom croissants and halloumi avocado muffins for work breakfasts!
 
Oh poor you @PigglePuggle allergies are not nice. It was bad enough trying to avoid everything with peanuts in before my son grew out of his peanut allergy. Milk products tend to be hidden in odd things that you wouldn't even think they would be in. What a nightmare for you! I feel for you I really do. :hug::hug:Just remember to read the ingredients list very carefully.
 
My rant for today (yes just for today, I’ll have found something else to rant about tomorrow) is recycling collections.
Yes, I know the fellas do a great job, even running down the street so they can get finished on Friday lunchtime in summer, so they can get to the beach, but really! This morning at usual our street is littered with empty plastic yogurt pots and milk bottles. This happens every time they collect. Is not their fault, the lorry becomes too full, so what’s put in often falls out. In fact you can map their route by the amount of recycling littered about the hedgerows for miles, it’s dreadful. Now more people are recycling the lorry needs more emptying opportunities, but Cornwall Council have deaf ears and the beautiful countside lanes keep on acquiring more and more rubbish, such a shame
 
Still can’t find my motivation to go to the donkey sanctuary tomorrow. Maybe I should just take a break. I just can’t connect with these new volunteers. It’s a shame, since I do normally love going, but just feeling a bit burnt out at the moment.

Also making bread from scratch is annoying. Sometimes it comes out really well, and sometimes it doesn’t have enough moisture. Keep forgetting that wholemeal flour needs more hydration than white!

People with Jekyll and Hyde personalities. So confusing and frustrating dealing with them and even worse, living with them :cen:
 
I love the mornings, late afternoon is my worst time, could nod off now, then alright again after tea x
 
I love a late morning, especially a Sunday when you should just relax! Always used to work them, now get to watch tv and drink tea!
It's those 6am, getting up to feed and flush Pedro mornings and they're running around my feet moaning. Tripping me up and acting like they're starved! Hate those ones!
I always have to sleep in the afternoon, good old brain meds doping me up! Then all refreshed for my crazy chinchilla evenings! :)
 
Oh, yes 6 am is a bit too early for me too, I seem to get more done in a morning, and have more energy too. Then collapse on sofa around 4.00 to 6.00! Been digging allotment this morning, so exhausted now, but making the most of the dry weather, can’t wait to get my spuds in. That’s when spring starts for me x
 
Just used the pub toilet, a man came in , had a wee wee, didnt wash his hands, and then touched the door handle, leaving me having to grab the handle where his sausage has now been😣
 
My b*****y washing machine! It doesn't spin if it doesn't have a balanced load. I am busy today and needed to get 2 washes on the line before I go out at 9.30. I timed it so the first one finished at 8am. Well it still hasn't finished cos it's not spinning and it is nearly 8.30. I have had to put a clean towel in to balance the load and it's still isn't playing! I am so annoyed ........
 
People who call you and just hang up. If it’s a wrong number why can’t they just say “oops sorry wrong number” instead of just hanging up after the 3rd or so “hello?”
Drives me bonkers because so few have my number that when someone not in my contacts calls it’s usually to inform me of a sick child/ injury so it instantly freaks me out if they just hang up!
 
When it’s your husbands birthday tomorrow but as he has to work late, you’re celebrating tonight with a nice meal and bottle of Prosecco but you’ve come down with a stinking cold 🤢🤧☹️
Hopefully I’ll be better for the second celebration at the weekend

Mine does that too, always when I'm in a hurry and have 3 loads of piggy laundry to complete on a deadline!
 
When the previous pump user leaves diesel all over the handle and all over the floor, leaving me slipping everywhere, slipping on van pedals, and now having to scrub my hands over and over before i can clean out the pigs😤

On top of a 6 hour round trip to chester tomorrow before i can go dentist for this roaring toothache! Lol
 
I HAD one like that, what used to drive me mad was I would hand wash delicates, rinse them, then put them is the washer for quick spin. The delicates would just slop around in there indefinitely and in the end I would have to get them out and some things would be ruined. I got rid of it, I think it was a hotpoint and it wasn’t cheap, absolutely rubbish!
Had a Indersit for 6 years, no trouble at all! I will have cursed it now, what’s betting it will blow up in next few weeks

Bosch are also pretty decent and fairly priced.

Most of the time it behaves. Usually only refuses to play when a few things are in there. Today though it was a full load.

I'm quite proud of my thread😁. Never thought it would take off so well. I should create a call centre, where you can just let out anger 24/7 to a random office worker.

50p a minute 👍. Il name it we listen to any rant.com

Last friday I was feeling fairly optimistic about life and wondered whether to start an opposite thread about stuff that makes you happy... but then my new pig tried fight the other pigs to the death and we got hit by a big vet bill (which totally counter-acted my "yay I just paid off my car finance bill after 3 years" sentiment) so... maybe we'll stick to complaining, its something us Brits do very well! :)

I was thinking about a thread of the opposite too 😊
 
The fact that your manager at work knows you need overtime to be able to afford a once on a lifetime holiday which I'm going on in September. But yet she thinks it's acceptable to give it to everyone else for a month and not even bother to give me any? How is that acceptable. Honestly thinking of leaving. It isn't fair if I'm honest. What have I honestly done wrong? And all the other colleagues just rub it in my face they have overtime for a month and I don't. Ugh.

Manager's probably jealous of you going off on a nice holiday while she'll just be stuck in the office.
