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

Not to mention the fact that one person (ie me) is organised enough to buy wrapping paper in the January sales as I like to buy nice stuff without spending a fortune and then barely gets to use any as hubby steals the best ones while I'm at work... My presents best be wrapped in them is all I can say :))

I had a polo in my jacket pocket which my mom washed and that too with the most strongest detergent here😂 I saw that washed out polo package full of dried out detergent in my class and offered to my friends as they always just wants all my food because they have huge tank stomach. They snatched it from me as soon as I took it out of my pocket in lunch and ate gracefully😂😂😭 said it tasted weird but was fine with them😭😂😂

Disgusting people who drink at the pub I clean at! Think smashed glasses, chewing gum stuck to the carpet, dirty toilets 🤢

That's like some of the rooms I have to clean at the hotel I work at. A lot of guests have some respect luckily but you get some that think it's OK to trash the room. I wonder, if they can leave a hotel room the way they do, what must their houses be like.
 
Don’t mention prescriptions to me, I have been trying to sort my mother’s out since her leaving hospital, so they can all go into a blister pack. Hopefully On the 2nd January we might get there! 🤬 Doctors!

I bought some old fashioned completely biodegradable wrapping paper made of actual paper and it hasnt fared well in the roof leak damp aftermath... I have it propped between the radiator and the inefficient substandard dehumidifier in my bedroom in the hope it can be salvaged because I bought loads!

Can you pop it in the oven on a very low heat? Keep a keen eye on it though! 👁
 
When you put mascara on. Despite using eyelash curlers & a mascara that is meant to give you a wide eyed look for 24hours... one side falls flat & you wonder why you bother. Maybe it's because its my dodgy eye, maybe I need to pay more than £2 for mascara!?

No7 mascaras are good.
 
When you’re husband gives you a maths problem for you to solve - not knowing it bugs you when you can solve a maths problem! 🤨🥺😤😭 luckily my BIL is a maths genius (secondary teacher and engineer in the past) and sent the solution!

@Siikibam I don't think I would like your husband :)) I don't think I'd like anyone sending me maths problems, maths is erm... Not my strong point shall we say!

I’m no good at maths. I dread it when my 12 year old daughter needs help with maths homework (my mum to the rescue!). But, and very strangely, both of my jobs (employed as an admin assistant for one job but also run our own company) involve book keeping and accounting which I absolutely adore doing...nothing like books that don’t balance and then I get to find the problem ...love it! ....there is basically no explanation for me!
 
My rant is my milk delivery not arriving on time...8.45am and it’s still not here, it’s normally delivered around 3am. Luckily hubby left a drop of milk so I’ve been able to have a cup of tea (the rant would be worse if I hadn’t) and the kids have had toast. I’m sure the milkman is very busy but this is the third time in a matter of weeks that it’s not been waiting on the doorstep. I’m being unreasonable about it though - I’ve had milk deliveries for two years with very few problems but today I’m highly irritable!
 
Pet shops... saw 3 little piggies in a small area with a small bit of cardboard and very little hay. Wish I could add more to my boars or had space for them. Can’t stop thinking about them :(

It’s so sad to see isn’t it. I refuse to look as I’d be loading them all in my car....we can’t save them all though :(

I'm not good at it either yet my career started as a debt advisor, then became a debt and welfare benefits advisor, then a financial capability advisor. I deal with numbers and money everyday but I find it can be an ice breaker with clients and quite reassuring for them that you don't have to be born gifted at maths to be able to manage. I've had some level of difficulty with telling the time and left from right as well so think I may have mild dyscalculia but I manage. Most of my clients don't have basic maths and English qualifications and I often get into a conversation about how hard I found it at school and how much I struggled. Many of them go on to do their entry level numeracy or English which is much more focussed on life skills than GCSE math
 
I 💕 maths and numbers, and it was my strong point. I struggled with subjects that needed lots of reading. I failed a module on programming in my second year of uni - IT WAS SOOOO BORING! More theory than practice - object orientated programming! My daughter’s strong point is literacy and my son’s is maths. My husband is more towards literacy as well. Not saying I’m bad at it but find maths easier 🤷🏾‍♀️ But with the new SPAG they’re now teaching in primary, my husband had to step in. Nouns, pronouns, adverbs etc. *faint*

When your intolerant to milk AND gluten!
 
My rant was yesterday in A&E, lots of drunk, loud mouthed idiots in A&E along with their Police Handlers upsetting all the poorly people waiting on stretchers while they get priority because they are causing problems!
Why should these scumbags be even admitted, they should be left outside to sober up first!
The poor staff there, I really feel for them and what a waste of time for our Police Service

I had the unfortunate experience of that once when my child developed a rash and we were advised to go to A&E. It was a Saturday night & a few unsavouries knocking about. Unfortunately a cute baby and a drunk adult is like a moth to a flame....couldn't get out of there fast enough and the rash was nothing so it was all good but it's like another world in there in the small hours. The staff will have seen it all before but shouldn't have to take any sh*t...but they do 🙄.

:yikes: Yikes no milk for one's tea, that's an emergency!
We missed a delivery at our previous house, it turned out the delivery man's milk float had been stolen so he had nothing to deliver his milk with. Why would anyone steal a milk float?! :hmm:

My friend had her bike seat stolen, they couldn’t take the bike because it was chained up so they just took the seat. Amazing what people will do :doh:
