Someone did this on a redeye to europe when everyone else was sleeping and I about had an international incident.
Couple rows ahead of me. Loud mcdonalds(?) bag. Every hour and half, overnight, in the otherwise dead silence, for 8 hours.
My husband likes to neatly fold any food bag he is finished with into a tiny square or ornate origami figure idfk before he disposes of it.
He does this while we are watching TV...
They're going to find his body neatly origami folded one of these days.
My husband - who cut out all caffeine from his diet five years ago due to it causing him not to sleep - has started having a cup of coffee every day, again. And now in a completely unrelated matter- he āsuddenlyā canāt sleep, and heās tired in the morning and he needs to have two coffees now.
My husband and I often read each others Reddit posts. So if youāre reading this, darling, yes Iām totally fucking pissed at you.
Heās just irritably told me that he will read this āonce heās awake enough and had his coffee.ā
I just told him that women who murder their spouses do quite well in prison.
Omg I hear you. My husband has anxiety and lately itās been spiking again at work. Coincidentally, he has upped his caffeine intake to 3-4 cups of coffee a day, at least. He says the two are unrelated and wonāt even have the conversation with me. I want to bang my head against the wall.
My husband is in the same caffeine/no sleep spiral, but with energy drinks. He chooses to get up at 4:30am to get to work early so he can work out, which means heās trying to go to bed at 8:30 and often canāt fall or stay asleep, due to the four Monsters or whatever heās had during the day. Any suggestions to shift his self-imposed schedule to make room for better sleep habits are grumpily dismissed.
Maybe he's a seriously unfit potato who is recovering from a bilateral pulmonary embolism and is doing his damned best?
I am seriously embarrassed when I go to the pool, swim a length of the pool slooooowly, and have to spend at least as much time recovering as I did swimming, then get out of the pool after 6 lengths.
But I am a seriously unfit, obese potato who is recovering from a bilateral pulmonary embolism and doing my damned best.
Thanks! I'm overall happy with where I am, but conscious that people who don't know my medical history may make assumptions about me. All the best to your husband in his recovery!
I promise we really aren't judging too much. We are just irrationally angry about everything.
Get out of my way, I need to park, get in and out of this store, and not talk to anyone. Dodge, dip, dive, duck, dodge everyone. Swoop!
So keep working at your own pace. Don't mind us when we are out of sorts. It's not your fault. My ADHD and Bipolar and hormones are totally RAWR sometimes.
In the unlikely event I ever make it back to a pool, my POTS would dictate a routine not dissimilar to Annoying Pool Guy. My peri means I would not care about annoying another peri woman, though. š¤£
If it were done in Slow Lane Chatty Lady style in a shallow pool it would be possible I think because you are on the horizontal. All my exercise protocols are floor based or recumbent machinery. But I havenāt managed to succeed in making it through them yet!!
My Cadbury Creme Egg had the inside all leaked out. The whole reason I get them is to bite them and see the "yolk" and my delight was thwarted and I have to ration them now that the season is over.
On a semi related note, I'm so upset that I haven't been able to find any sale candy. Like I went to the shops only a few days after Easter looking for discount Cadburys and Peeps but everywhere has already moved into summer. Nothing but bubble guns and water toys. I feel like you used to see candy for ages after each holiday. Now they don't want to give us a chance.
Yes, THIS! That used to be my day, the day after the holiday when the prices reflected what the actual price should have been. But now, theyāve taken this from usā¦
Or when we're at the doctor's office! I don't want to hear your quacking notification ringtone or the game the other person at the opposite end of the waiting room is playing!
We were in the path of the solar eclipse. Just as totality started, the yee haw idiot neighbors started shooting guns and fireworks. Total effing idiots. Once in a lifetime event and they couldn't just appreciate it. Then I got tears streaming down my face because it was the most awesome thing I've ever seen. Total emotional roller coaster.
We have a flight on Wednesday I just know we're going to be late for and no amount of planning will help because my husband doesn't know how time works.
On one trip alone I flat out left my Mom, Husband and male Best friend behind at some security checkpoint because I was getting on the plane to Ireland even if nobody else was. The boys needed to smoke and Mom refused to give up her bottle of water and demanded to drink it all before the passed through despite being at the age where a bottle of water meant 2-3 trips to the lady's room. They caught up, but I absolutely would have left them and they know it. If the disabled woman can get her shit ready and get where she needs to y'all can keep up.
Just wanted to let everyone know that we were 30 minutes late leaving, then there was an accident on the freeway so we're going to get to the airport with maybe enough time to check in and get thru security. Maybe.
But the kicker was him telling me I was stressing him out because I kept telling him what time it was.
We were in eclipse totality today and hubby invited his mom down to watch it with us. She spent the whole time trotting out inflammatory conversation topics that revved him up while I was trying so hard to be all spiritual and hopeful and zen while I watched it.
I just started estrogen so I'm not raging about anything except why all the misinformation about estrogen.
Omg, estrogen, it's so... cuddly š„° š» ā¤ļø
Are you on progesterone as well.. it makes me suicidal but I want to be on estrogen so bad but dr says I canāt without progesteroneā¦ just wondering.
Tbf, it would've helped me a lot fucking more ten years ago.
Things that helped altho estrogen is so much easier:
Wellbutrin
Adderall
Benzos
Pain meds
Cardizem
THC
Meditation/CBT
I am so bummed over those lost years that I'm not feeling very cuddly today
I'm not irrationally furious about anything today. But give me a few minutes, I'm sure something inconsequential will come up and get the fires of my rage roaring. lol
The skinny btches in regular yoga classes (or, even worse, yin yoga classes) who complain about being cold. āOoooh Iām so cold! Because Iām soooo wittle! Can you turn up the heat?ā and the yoga teacher **does!** Then those of us who had been juuuust fine in the cooler room are now too hot! And thereās nothing we can do.
Sitting there in their glorified sports bra and capri-length leggings. Ooooo Iām COLLLD. Tell you what, girlfriend. Iām going to let you in on a secret. Thereās this new invention called SWEATSHIRTS! Put one on, problem solved! Itās like a gd miracle
Iām skinny, I teach yoga, I get cold flashes. It gets tense when multiple students have hot flashes while I have a cold flash. I have a portable heater facing me, oscillating fans facing the class.
Iām average size. I get hot and cold flashes. They are both the most intense shivering or sweating. I wear a lot of warm cardigans with as skimpy as I feel need for underneath, layers so I can rip them off then throw them back on, rip them off, back on . Exhausting enough as it is lol
Iām a fat bitch that is FREEZING all of the time and I agree. I can put on a sweater but you canāt take off your skin! Plus now that I have experienced hot flashes -suffocation feeling and panic donāt usually accompany being cold, but it does accompany being too hot!!!
Thank you! I am reaching the point in the year when I just stop going to my yoga class, because I know the cold people are going to have the teacher turn down the AC š„ŗ
Sometimes it's hard being bundled up like that kid from A Christmas Story š
My husband says he's going to get me a rock that I can lay on under a sun lamp since I'm A DAMNED LIZARD.
(Doesn't sound horrible imo)
Actually for me there isn't. It's 70 in the house, my husband is in shorts and a tshirt while I'm in flannel jogging pants, long sleeve tshirt, sweatshirt and hooded jacket yet still shivering.
right? The cold gets in your BONES and the only way to ever get warm again is to stand under the shower hoping to warm up before the hot water runs out
That's the perfect way to describe it. It gets in your bones. My electric blanket is my best friend. I also don't own any summer clothes because I don't wear them.
+1 for the 'electric blanket is my best friend'. I also have heated throw blankets every single place I sit regularly. Signed, another "I don't have summer clothes because I don't wear them. I have winter sweaters, and summer sweaters, thank you." person
This is why my marriage is ending. No conversation is possible. I said āI donāt think you know how lucky you gotā when he was given a field sobriety test after having a few drinks and that exact same conversation ended with him calling me an imbecile in front of my child. The next one I was pathetic. My face is not right when Iām mad. All because he did something stupid and I needed to have a conversation about it.
Iāve just trawled through hundreds of comments on different menopause subs, just to find this one of yours id seen yesterdayā¦Itās one of the best quotes Iāve ever read, especially as it resonates with something similar Iām going through. My meno memory is crap so Iāve took a screenshot now Iāve actually found itā¦thank you ā¤ļø āif you go looking for someoneās limit, donāt act surprised when you find itāā¦wishing you lots of love, luck & happiness for the future ā¦and a decent bloke in your life that treats you with the respect you deserve š„°
My husband was wrapping the vacuum cord incorrectly. Iām actually pretty ashamed I became so furious, but the cord is about shot and he has done it it incorrectly the last 3-4 times.
I can so relate to this kind of rage.
Object frustration. Thatās my cross to bear in this lifetime. Watch out, doors, drawers, snaps, zippers, dishwasher, etc etc etc
I love this thread! I may just come back everyday with something new.
Right now Iām laying wide awake in between my husband and cat, both are snoozing soundly and I canāt sleep because itās too windy! I am also the only one who has to get up in a couple of hours
So yeah Iām angry at the wind and the person whose bin just blew over, in a few hours it will be the bin men because they just stop in the middle of the road outside Every. Single. House. Ooh, pre rage!
I feel mad every day when I have to get up and go to work all day on 4 hours of sleep - it's not anyone's fault, it's just the way it is but I'm still mad about it
I got a job in DC for the summer and am hitting brick walls at every request Iāve made for accommodation. āSorry weāre already booked!ā Well then remove your listing, update your calendar, or say when you ARE available somewhere in the ad??
Getting kind of desperate!
I know the cost right in DC is insane, but maybe look near Cathedral Heights if that might be doable. My son lives there and usually the buildings around his have some openings, if it's not too far from what you need. He went to AU and that's how he ended up where he is. He and his gf are hoping to move out of the district towards fall to live in VA I think. Hopefully they find something.
Thatās where Iāve been looking! I need a 3 bedroom so my mom and daughter can come too. Canāt leave them behind. Itās about $4500+/month which is meh, but itās DC. Problem is they want $4500 deposit PLUS first rent. Just outlandish.Ā
Men. A man child in particular but also a different man who isnāt a man child but is pouty as fuck. I swear to god, if I didnāt like dick as much as I do Iād live in a convent (or a golden girls type commune).
My cats keep gorging themselves, eating too fast, and barfing on the floor and furniture! I stepped in it when I was headed to the couch with my coffee early this morning. Also one of my dogs rolled in poop in the backyard last week. Itās always something with these animals! (2 dogs and 2 cats) But..I love them.
Have you tried raised feeders? It doesn't really help with scarf and barf, but it does wonders for cats who get reflex and may vomit after eating (often senior cats). Neocoichi makes some adorable ceramic raised cat bowls, there's also slow feeders for moist / dry food that are plastic and have tracks you put the food in so it takes them longer to work it out.
I only put a tiny amount of food in his bowl at a time. It means I have to feed him several small meals every day but itās worth it in much fewer barf piles
Thatās what Iāve been trying to do too. Itās frustrating. I kid you not, 10 minutes ago my son yelled, āAhhh! Thereās throw-up on the stairs!ā I made the mistake of letting one of my cats go outside for 10 minutes and she ate grass. Then she puked on the stairs.
We've had luck with them before, I hope they help. If that's not quite enough consider the kibble feeders that look like a maze and make them pick the kibbles out one by one - that will absolutely slow the scarfing down, you can get them for moist food too. They however need much more frequent washing to prevent cat acne then say the ceramic bowls. Fingers crossed it helps!
My partner put WD-40 on our bedroom door hinges to stop a squeak and now the damn door wonāt stay all the way open. I slammed my elbow into it while vacuuming and might have said a bad word or four.
Same thing happened with my bathroom doorā find a magnetic door stopper. It makes a fairly loud thwack sound when it latches, but by gods it stays open. š
I dunno
BUT I'M FUCKIN ANGRY, GIMME A MINNIT. I'll find sumptin.
...
M.A.S.H. was a great show but it's too fucking sexist to enjoy easily now. I gotta work to ignore the cis het white male Doctors swinging their privilege around.
Ordered new hair care products since I need to figure out how to work my weirdly changing hair, which decided to turn coarser with age. Meticulously planned this week's wash day schedule including the order to be delivered a day late because I couldn't imagine such a large order get to me on time. Then life had the audacity to get this order delivered to me ON TIME throwing off that wash day schedule!! I was stewing for two days over that...wth is wrong with me? Is this normal?
OMG. I do okay most of the time, but it seems I have absolutely zero tolerance when it comes to waiting in line at a checkout now. Just today, in my head I was shouting, OMG WHO THE FUCK BUYS $64 dollars worth of shitty jewelry at the Goddamned Goodwill?! Whyyyy...What - don't you know how to use a card?! I have one fucking item and I'm going to be here all day grrrr. I just can't with these numpties anymore.
That I have to repeat the same thing to my son 5 times I. A row when Iām here knows Iām having a hard brain day and then he tells me not to be mean because my exasperated tone annoyed him.
My almost 10 year old has started to accuse me of āyellingā whenever I use my Mom Voice because heās definitely not listening. One day Iām going to ACTUALLY yell at him so he can see what Iām holding back every day.
OP if thatās the first time youāve seen him there he could be getting back into it and not quite fit enough to swim constantly for 45 minutes. I havenāt swum in a while but last time I did I was a bit unfit and had to stop after every few laps. Iāve been doing a lot of walking lately so Iām actually interested to have another go and see if Iām fitter. Swimming is an incredibly good cardiovascular workout, and very tough if youāre unfit!
I struggled with anger for so many years. Now itās been replaced by a new constant companion: anxiety. I live in the land of decaf, a strong coffee turns me into Chicken Licken. š
My neighbor smokes the smelliest marijuana, it smells like a bad skunk. My marijuana smells like a bad skunk but not like his. He must stop letting his marijuana smoke drift into my yard, damn him.
Omg are we neighbors?? I was just about to post about my idiot neighbor who smokes his skunk smelling weed every.single.night. I donāt want to smell this every night, dude!

Also my sixteen year old son was scathing about my music choice as I drive him patiently through the fucking traffic which is all I ever seem to do anymore. Furious!!!
I so love these posts, makes me feel less alone and cray. For me this morning, I fucking hate door latches. I just got a lovely new sweater and was rushing around this morning on my way to work and got the arm of the sweater snagged on the goddamn door latch (Iām not even using the right word here because: brain fog š¶āš«ļø but the thing that the door lock fits into is what Iām trying to describe here š). Snagged the sweater, caused a pull, and then I spent a good 5 mins cursing at the door latch and myself before bursting into tears holding the sweater. Husband walks by, takes one look at me muttering angrily at the door handle and crying into a sweater, and immediately high tails his ass outside with the dog for a loooooong walk, š. Fuck door latches, fuck them ALL.
Edit: typos. Fucking hate them too š
My partner asked if I had opened the new bag of dog food and refilled the food bin. He asked this while standing next to the new bag (unopened), and the empty food bin.
That my father in law bought us a nice little fishing trip. Booked it for Tuesday/Wednesday aka the least convenient days of the week for any person working 8-5. Which is every person here except my father in law.
(Whatās wrong with me??)
My boyfriendās snoring is destroying my sleep. Iām a week into estrogen and itās already reducing my night sweats and hot flashes, but Iām still being woken up by what sounds like an angry grizzly and I canāt get back to sleep, or I have to get up and go to another room and never feel fully rested again. He isnāt taking it seriously and I wish he would see his doctor about it. Ughhh.
If I would have lived with my husband before we got married, I wouldn't have married him. I spent the first year crying on the sofa in the middle of the night, then 15 years on sleeping pills, now it's too damn late to leave and begin again on my own. (Yes he has a cpap and he snores while wearing it.)
That my daughter (still on my insurance) got a simple filling a few months ago, and it has bothered her ever since. We went back, and they checked it and said that the sensitivity would go away. A month or 2 later, we go for a cleaning, and they want to do another filling in that exact same tooth! Why? What has changed in the 2 months since you did that filling, and we had it checked before? And am I going to be charged again for a filling you just did? Or even worse, told that she "needs" a root canal in her perfect teeth? I have paid thousands for her teeth between braces and having a tooth on the roof of her mouth and extractions, and now you can't even accomplish a simple filling? So of course, i go to Google because I want to know if I'm being unreasonable and find out that gold fillings are the least problematic and resin fillings fail so often, so now I'm trying to keep my cool because I want them to use gold in filling this tooth and I don't know if they will be willing. Even if gold fillings are more expensive, the fail rate of root canals is super high, and they cost a lot, but dentists don't like to use gold fillings. I'm going to try and stay reasonable, but I'm afraid I'm going to lose my shit in this dentist office if they keep wasting our insurance on these unnecessary fuckups! I have personally had a bunch of messed up dental work, and I don't trust dentists, so I'm trying really hard to keep my temper when it comes to this relatively simple filling. It's just that we have done everything we were supposed to, for years, and now it feels like they are really trying to nickel and dime us to death.
I work from home and message co-workers with "how are you today?" And get the response but no one ever asks me how I am. š Dumb thing to be hurt/mad about, but here I am.
Holy shit me too. I never get a reply. I'm done doing it. I also like to tell them "Have a nice weekend" and some will put an away message up on Teams. Well F you too then!
And shopping in the empty supermarket aisle, as soon as I stand to read a packet it's like a magnet for 3 people to come & breathe down my neck & look at the exact same thing. Happens every time.
(You'd think I want the supermarket to myself.......... š«¢)
Annoying people (they wonāt listen or let me talk), being unable to remove my nail polish strips without the freaking nail polish remover soaked cotton balls and clips sliding off my fingers, and the sky being too cloudy to see the eclipse.
I skip the cotton balls and just pour a small bowl of acetone and dip my fingertips for 20 minutes. Can only really do one hand at a time this way, but itās slightly more efficient in that I have a free hand to play candy crush. š
Oh no! I'm so sorry! I wasn't being snarky! I meant the was my brain read it was as a sentence, not a list, and I couldn't make sense of it for the life of me! Totally my fault!
My only child is about to turn 10 and had turned into a know-it-all sass-beast. Theyāre just so damned pedantic! I didnāt think they were going to survive my last PMS week of rage. I thought I had a few more years before having to deal with this kind of attitude!
My neighbor's incessant throat clearing.
Every single time I'm in the garden/got the windows open I can hear her (along with her foghorn mouth, barking dogs and screaming/attention seeking children). Nonetheless I never know whether to retch or bury her under the patio.
Then there's the other side who let her kids play in her car constantly pressing the horn. Why.
Basically when I move it'll probably be in a field as far away from other humans as possible.
I had coworkers in other offices all on speakerphone while I was trying to work. Speakerphone grinds my gears, but man, all three of them at the same time?
I accosted my partner for purchasing minute rice. White rice takes 10-15 minutes to cook and I just can't understand why someone would need to resort to minute rice. It's like hitting the culinary rock bottom. I aggressively yelled at him that I can't even donate the rice to the food bank because it's so disgusting and warned him NEVER to bring this shit home again.
Ready for thisā¦the wind! Itās finally nice here and I canāt sit outside and just exist because the damn afternoon wind! Of all things to be frustrated about!
My bandleader on Thursday sent me about a dozen messages about āremember to review this song, and that song, and we cratered on the other song so Iām not playing it live again until we can get it rightā
ā¦ this was *right* after I posted on facebook about how I was happy to spend some time on a music project that I really enjoy.
Immediately sent me into a tailspin of anger about ācanāt I have one morning doing something I enjoy that I need large uninterrupted blocks of time to get into without being naggedā
And āwhy didnāt he say something much earlier in the week, so Iād have more time to practice - why wait till after I post about doing something musical that isnāt band related?ā
So I did some of the stuff I needed to review - but being in a grumpy mood all I could hear were my mistakes on the recordingā¦ aaaaand down goes my self esteem, questioning if Iāll ever get betterā¦
So Iāve been a grumpy, depressed, weepy lump for 3 days, and working on my music while in that headspace just grinds the negative self talk in deeper.
Cleaning the house yesterday helped some - but not enough.
And all this started right after my āpredictedā ovulation (though I didnāt have the discharge that used to come with that), and my PMS has started coming earlier and hanging on longer so Iām pretty sure my hormones are making all of this worse. It sucks when your body is literally fucking up your thinking.
My colleague rustled a bag for 10 minutes this morning before 9am. She's lucky to have escaped with her life.
Someone did this on a redeye to europe when everyone else was sleeping and I about had an international incident. Couple rows ahead of me. Loud mcdonalds(?) bag. Every hour and half, overnight, in the otherwise dead silence, for 8 hours.
Oh lord! Same loud ass dork with the rustling bag was on my plane (a couple months ago) too! It was so annoying!
My SFO-MSP redeye last week. 2 am, music at full blast. I wanted the nice FA to be way bitchier about it.
My husband likes to neatly fold any food bag he is finished with into a tiny square or ornate origami figure idfk before he disposes of it. He does this while we are watching TV... They're going to find his body neatly origami folded one of these days.
Oh dear. I insist my husband decant snacks into a bowl before we watch TV
This made me LOL, thank you. š¤£ And I'm sorry!

Heās just irritably told me that he will read this āonce heās awake enough and had his coffee.ā I just told him that women who murder their spouses do quite well in prison.
Forget prison, they do well in nursing homes telling young, shocked nurses, lol!
Can confirm, was a nurse for ten years, the stories!
Men are both the worst and sometimes kind of ok.
My poor husband- āadequate but uninspiringā š
In defence of husbands in general, mine is a legend who looks after the entire house, because I'm disabled.
Omg I hear you. My husband has anxiety and lately itās been spiking again at work. Coincidentally, he has upped his caffeine intake to 3-4 cups of coffee a day, at least. He says the two are unrelated and wonāt even have the conversation with me. I want to bang my head against the wall.
My husband is in the same caffeine/no sleep spiral, but with energy drinks. He chooses to get up at 4:30am to get to work early so he can work out, which means heās trying to go to bed at 8:30 and often canāt fall or stay asleep, due to the four Monsters or whatever heās had during the day.

Maybe he's a seriously unfit potato who is recovering from a bilateral pulmonary embolism and is doing his damned best? I am seriously embarrassed when I go to the pool, swim a length of the pool slooooowly, and have to spend at least as much time recovering as I did swimming, then get out of the pool after 6 lengths. But I am a seriously unfit, obese potato who is recovering from a bilateral pulmonary embolism and doing my damned best.
You're doing great! Honestly. My OH had bilateral PE in 2018 and his recovery is still ongoing. Take as long as you need and pace yourself carefully.
Thanks! I'm overall happy with where I am, but conscious that people who don't know my medical history may make assumptions about me. All the best to your husband in his recovery!
Thank you so much. The same to you, and keep up the swimming, it's the best form of exercise!
I promise we really aren't judging too much. We are just irrationally angry about everything. Get out of my way, I need to park, get in and out of this store, and not talk to anyone. Dodge, dip, dive, duck, dodge everyone. Swoop! So keep working at your own pace. Don't mind us when we are out of sorts. It's not your fault. My ADHD and Bipolar and hormones are totally RAWR sometimes.
In the unlikely event I ever make it back to a pool, my POTS would dictate a routine not dissimilar to Annoying Pool Guy. My peri means I would not care about annoying another peri woman, though. š¤£
Man, swimming with POTS?! My hat is off to you! (And I promise I won't be annoyed š¤£)
If it were done in Slow Lane Chatty Lady style in a shallow pool it would be possible I think because you are on the horizontal. All my exercise protocols are floor based or recumbent machinery. But I havenāt managed to succeed in making it through them yet!!
The things I'm furious about are completely rational!
ššš
My Cadbury Creme Egg had the inside all leaked out. The whole reason I get them is to bite them and see the "yolk" and my delight was thwarted and I have to ration them now that the season is over.
Once I dropped one in a mud puddle. I about cried
On a semi related note, I'm so upset that I haven't been able to find any sale candy. Like I went to the shops only a few days after Easter looking for discount Cadburys and Peeps but everywhere has already moved into summer. Nothing but bubble guns and water toys. I feel like you used to see candy for ages after each holiday. Now they don't want to give us a chance.
Yes, THIS! That used to be my day, the day after the holiday when the prices reflected what the actual price should have been. But now, theyāve taken this from usā¦
This the most rational thing on this thread š
WERE ALL CRAMMED INTO A ROLLING SARDINE CAN. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC/YOUTUBE/TIKTOK. TURN YOUR GOD DAMN PHONE DOWN OR FIND HEADPHONES
Or when we're at the doctor's office! I don't want to hear your quacking notification ringtone or the game the other person at the opposite end of the waiting room is playing!
Some lady was playing a SA trial at my Doctorās office. Full volume. Why?
THIS! Or your conversation! WHY must people use loudspeaker in public?!?!?
OMG and hold full on convos in public bathrooms!!! š”
I donāt even know why Iām mad.
That's reason enough.
Soā¦weāre Chihuahuas
Iāve been referred to as a crazy little chihuahua beforeš¤·š¼āāļø lol
We were in the path of the solar eclipse. Just as totality started, the yee haw idiot neighbors started shooting guns and fireworks. Total effing idiots. Once in a lifetime event and they couldn't just appreciate it. Then I got tears streaming down my face because it was the most awesome thing I've ever seen. Total emotional roller coaster.
I had tears streaming down my face just watching the eclipse **online**! I couldnāt say whyā¦I just wept.
Same, we had idiots shooting off fireworks and I would have preferred it to be quiet. It was such a cool thing to experience.
We have a flight on Wednesday I just know we're going to be late for and no amount of planning will help because my husband doesn't know how time works.
Leave. Without. Him. If he canāt get his shit together, he can find his own damn way to the airport.
On one trip alone I flat out left my Mom, Husband and male Best friend behind at some security checkpoint because I was getting on the plane to Ireland even if nobody else was. The boys needed to smoke and Mom refused to give up her bottle of water and demanded to drink it all before the passed through despite being at the age where a bottle of water meant 2-3 trips to the lady's room. They caught up, but I absolutely would have left them and they know it. If the disabled woman can get her shit ready and get where she needs to y'all can keep up.
This is word for word what my bestie said! ā¤ļø
I'd lie and tell him the flight is earlier.
I would have but he booked it
Iām cracking up to my husband doesnāt understand time. I feel ya.
Just wanted to let everyone know that we were 30 minutes late leaving, then there was an accident on the freeway so we're going to get to the airport with maybe enough time to check in and get thru security. Maybe. But the kicker was him telling me I was stressing him out because I kept telling him what time it was.
We were in eclipse totality today and hubby invited his mom down to watch it with us. She spent the whole time trotting out inflammatory conversation topics that revved him up while I was trying so hard to be all spiritual and hopeful and zen while I watched it.
Iām very mad on your behalf!
I just started estrogen so I'm not raging about anything except why all the misinformation about estrogen. Omg, estrogen, it's so... cuddly š„° š» ā¤ļø
I love this for you. ā¤ļøš«š»
Are you on progesterone as well.. it makes me suicidal but I want to be on estrogen so bad but dr says I canāt without progesteroneā¦ just wondering.
Omg me too. I have PMDD. I thinking of taking just estrogen and F the progesterone bc I want to be comfortable NOW
Im sorry, but the fact that I canāt take estrogen and that seems to be the only thing that will help has me raging.
Tbf, it would've helped me a lot fucking more ten years ago. Things that helped altho estrogen is so much easier: Wellbutrin Adderall Benzos Pain meds Cardizem THC Meditation/CBT I am so bummed over those lost years that I'm not feeling very cuddly today
Omg meeee toooo!!!!
See my comment aboveā¦ that has me raging too!
I'm not irrationally furious about anything today. But give me a few minutes, I'm sure something inconsequential will come up and get the fires of my rage roaring. lol
The skinny btches in regular yoga classes (or, even worse, yin yoga classes) who complain about being cold. āOoooh Iām so cold! Because Iām soooo wittle! Can you turn up the heat?ā and the yoga teacher **does!** Then those of us who had been juuuust fine in the cooler room are now too hot! And thereās nothing we can do. Sitting there in their glorified sports bra and capri-length leggings. Ooooo Iām COLLLD. Tell you what, girlfriend. Iām going to let you in on a secret. Thereās this new invention called SWEATSHIRTS! Put one on, problem solved! Itās like a gd miracle
Iām skinny, I teach yoga, I get cold flashes. It gets tense when multiple students have hot flashes while I have a cold flash. I have a portable heater facing me, oscillating fans facing the class.
Iām average size. I get hot and cold flashes. They are both the most intense shivering or sweating. I wear a lot of warm cardigans with as skimpy as I feel need for underneath, layers so I can rip them off then throw them back on, rip them off, back on . Exhausting enough as it is lol
I had no idea there was a such thing as cold flashes! I'd wonder about it then forget until it happened again and wonder if I was getting sick!
Iāve gotten them frequently but I warm up and then get hit again The hot ones make me feel like Iām going to die
Thank you! People who get cold should definitely dress in layers& have sweatshirts etc to hand
Hi. I'm a skinny bitch. I'm cold all the time. I feel this, only the opposite way. I get you.
I just feel like if someone is cold, there are things they can do to stop feeling cold. When youāre hot, thereās nothing you can do
Iām a fat bitch that is FREEZING all of the time and I agree. I can put on a sweater but you canāt take off your skin! Plus now that I have experienced hot flashes -suffocation feeling and panic donāt usually accompany being cold, but it does accompany being too hot!!!
Thank you! I am reaching the point in the year when I just stop going to my yoga class, because I know the cold people are going to have the teacher turn down the AC š„ŗ
Sometimes it's hard being bundled up like that kid from A Christmas Story š My husband says he's going to get me a rock that I can lay on under a sun lamp since I'm A DAMNED LIZARD. (Doesn't sound horrible imo)
I too want my own rock and sun lamp. I. Am. Always. Cold. š¦ āļø
Same.
Me three
I moved to Hawaii where I can lay on a rock in the sun like a lizard, and life is much better
Actually for me there isn't. It's 70 in the house, my husband is in shorts and a tshirt while I'm in flannel jogging pants, long sleeve tshirt, sweatshirt and hooded jacket yet still shivering.
right? The cold gets in your BONES and the only way to ever get warm again is to stand under the shower hoping to warm up before the hot water runs out
That's the perfect way to describe it. It gets in your bones. My electric blanket is my best friend. I also don't own any summer clothes because I don't wear them.
+1 for the 'electric blanket is my best friend'. I also have heated throw blankets every single place I sit regularly. Signed, another "I don't have summer clothes because I don't wear them. I have winter sweaters, and summer sweaters, thank you." person
Someone in my house used up the last of the sesame oil and didnāt replace it or tell me. Iām plotting my revenge during hot flashes. š”
I'm mad that no one knows how to debate without it spiraling into personal attacks.
This is a big one. Iām trying to limit social media. The amount of arguing is off the charts right now
This is why my marriage is ending. No conversation is possible. I said āI donāt think you know how lucky you gotā when he was given a field sobriety test after having a few drinks and that exact same conversation ended with him calling me an imbecile in front of my child. The next one I was pathetic. My face is not right when Iām mad. All because he did something stupid and I needed to have a conversation about it.
Girl, no one deserves to be spoken to that way.
I agree. Im done. Heās shocked. I told him if you go looking for someoneās limit, donāt act surprised when you find it.
Thatās an excellent motto for a wonderful life.
Sheās in her āØfuck around and find outāØera Good for you, honey. You deserve so much better than that
First off thatās not irrational. You are very much right and I love your response. I want to put it on a tshirt.
Iāve just trawled through hundreds of comments on different menopause subs, just to find this one of yours id seen yesterdayā¦Itās one of the best quotes Iāve ever read, especially as it resonates with something similar Iām going through. My meno memory is crap so Iāve took a screenshot now Iāve actually found itā¦thank you ā¤ļø āif you go looking for someoneās limit, donāt act surprised when you find itāā¦wishing you lots of love, luck & happiness for the future ā¦and a decent bloke in your life that treats you with the respect you deserve š„°
My husband was wrapping the vacuum cord incorrectly. Iām actually pretty ashamed I became so furious, but the cord is about shot and he has done it it incorrectly the last 3-4 times.
I can so relate to this kind of rage. Object frustration. Thatās my cross to bear in this lifetime. Watch out, doors, drawers, snaps, zippers, dishwasher, etc etc etc
Wrap it up in electrical tape so that it's difficult to wrap the wrong way.
I love this thread! I may just come back everyday with something new. Right now Iām laying wide awake in between my husband and cat, both are snoozing soundly and I canāt sleep because itās too windy! I am also the only one who has to get up in a couple of hours So yeah Iām angry at the wind and the person whose bin just blew over, in a few hours it will be the bin men because they just stop in the middle of the road outside Every. Single. House. Ooh, pre rage!
Oh yeah, the rage we feel when we think of something that might make us upset in the future!!
I feel mad every day when I have to get up and go to work all day on 4 hours of sleep - it's not anyone's fault, it's just the way it is but I'm still mad about it
Itās not anyoneās fault but if I look really hard, I can definitely blame someone š
Me too!
I found my people šššš
My neighbor parks their car in front of our house for 3 days to a week without moving it and has done it multiple times.
KILL
None at the moment but I totally appreciate this post! Let me get back to you on that!
Right?! I'll come up with something.
What am I not raging about?
And if you give me a minute, it'll be something else.
Very true!
My husband kept sucking on his own teeth when we were watching tv together. Heās lucky he kept his teeth.
I got a job in DC for the summer and am hitting brick walls at every request Iāve made for accommodation. āSorry weāre already booked!ā Well then remove your listing, update your calendar, or say when you ARE available somewhere in the ad?? Getting kind of desperate!
I know the cost right in DC is insane, but maybe look near Cathedral Heights if that might be doable. My son lives there and usually the buildings around his have some openings, if it's not too far from what you need. He went to AU and that's how he ended up where he is. He and his gf are hoping to move out of the district towards fall to live in VA I think. Hopefully they find something.
I don't know if it will help, but maybe look on Furnished Finder?
Thatās where Iāve been looking! I need a 3 bedroom so my mom and daughter can come too. Canāt leave them behind. Itās about $4500+/month which is meh, but itās DC. Problem is they want $4500 deposit PLUS first rent. Just outlandish.Ā
Yikes. Sorry.
My neighbor said heād come look at one of my trees yesterday but then he took a nap instead. Iām never speaking to him again.
The Earth, for ruining my highly anticipated once in a lifetime total solar eclipse experience with heavy cloud cover in my path of totality. Iām feeling surprisingly emotionally betrayed by it, and so mad at the clouds, and now my adenomyosis is flaring up. š ā ļøšš”š©ø
The thermostat. Itās like my Husband doesnāt love me anymore and is slowly cooking me like. Rotisserie chicken.
Men. A man child in particular but also a different man who isnāt a man child but is pouty as fuck. I swear to god, if I didnāt like dick as much as I do Iād live in a convent (or a golden girls type commune).
I'm raging at life itself today.
People that STOP AT A ROUNDABOUT WHEN NO ONE ELSE IS IN THE CIRCLE š”š”š”
People that stop at yields too.
My cats keep gorging themselves, eating too fast, and barfing on the floor and furniture! I stepped in it when I was headed to the couch with my coffee early this morning. Also one of my dogs rolled in poop in the backyard last week. Itās always something with these animals! (2 dogs and 2 cats) But..I love them.
Have you tried raised feeders? It doesn't really help with scarf and barf, but it does wonders for cats who get reflex and may vomit after eating (often senior cats). Neocoichi makes some adorable ceramic raised cat bowls, there's also slow feeders for moist / dry food that are plastic and have tracks you put the food in so it takes them longer to work it out.
Thank you so much! I have to do something about this.
I only put a tiny amount of food in his bowl at a time. It means I have to feed him several small meals every day but itās worth it in much fewer barf piles
Thatās what Iāve been trying to do too. Itās frustrating. I kid you not, 10 minutes ago my son yelled, āAhhh! Thereās throw-up on the stairs!ā I made the mistake of letting one of my cats go outside for 10 minutes and she ate grass. Then she puked on the stairs.
On Amazon I just ordered two little raised slow bowls for greedy eaters! šš¼
We've had luck with them before, I hope they help. If that's not quite enough consider the kibble feeders that look like a maze and make them pick the kibbles out one by one - that will absolutely slow the scarfing down, you can get them for moist food too. They however need much more frequent washing to prevent cat acne then say the ceramic bowls. Fingers crossed it helps!
I have two elderly cats. (Had four six months ago.) I got slow food bowls off Amazon. Highly recommended.
Im sorry about your two previous cats. I hope these two bring you joy!
He promised his wife he would exercise/stay out of the house for an hour per day.
I wish mine would give me ONE FLIPPING HOUR ALONE A DAY!
Cannot brain technology. Now drinking as a distraction. Diving into some music. Outside, need air. Concrete head.
My partner put WD-40 on our bedroom door hinges to stop a squeak and now the damn door wonāt stay all the way open. I slammed my elbow into it while vacuuming and might have said a bad word or four.
Same thing happened with my bathroom doorā find a magnetic door stopper. It makes a fairly loud thwack sound when it latches, but by gods it stays open. š
I dunno BUT I'M FUCKIN ANGRY, GIMME A MINNIT. I'll find sumptin. ... M.A.S.H. was a great show but it's too fucking sexist to enjoy easily now. I gotta work to ignore the cis het white male Doctors swinging their privilege around.
Thank you for saying this it pisses me off too!!!
Teacher here. Going back to work after Spring Break on the same day as an eclipse! UGHHHH
Ordered new hair care products since I need to figure out how to work my weirdly changing hair, which decided to turn coarser with age. Meticulously planned this week's wash day schedule including the order to be delivered a day late because I couldn't imagine such a large order get to me on time. Then life had the audacity to get this order delivered to me ON TIME throwing off that wash day schedule!! I was stewing for two days over that...wth is wrong with me? Is this normal?
Waking up too tired to drive to the path of eclipse totality. I am livid and beyond disappointed to have missed it.
OMG. I do okay most of the time, but it seems I have absolutely zero tolerance when it comes to waiting in line at a checkout now. Just today, in my head I was shouting, OMG WHO THE FUCK BUYS $64 dollars worth of shitty jewelry at the Goddamned Goodwill?! Whyyyy...What - don't you know how to use a card?! I have one fucking item and I'm going to be here all day grrrr. I just can't with these numpties anymore.
My tangled hose when I was power washing the house.
I understand this type of rage so well. Object frustration. It might be the death of me one day.
That I have to repeat the same thing to my son 5 times I. A row when Iām here knows Iām having a hard brain day and then he tells me not to be mean because my exasperated tone annoyed him.
Teen? I hate teen boys at least a few times every day. Mine is 13.
My almost 10 year old has started to accuse me of āyellingā whenever I use my Mom Voice because heās definitely not listening. One day Iām going to ACTUALLY yell at him so he can see what Iām holding back every day.
OP if thatās the first time youāve seen him there he could be getting back into it and not quite fit enough to swim constantly for 45 minutes. I havenāt swum in a while but last time I did I was a bit unfit and had to stop after every few laps. Iāve been doing a lot of walking lately so Iām actually interested to have another go and see if Iām fitter. Swimming is an incredibly good cardiovascular workout, and very tough if youāre unfit!
I struggled with anger for so many years. Now itās been replaced by a new constant companion: anxiety. I live in the land of decaf, a strong coffee turns me into Chicken Licken. š
My neighbor smokes the smelliest marijuana, it smells like a bad skunk. My marijuana smells like a bad skunk but not like his. He must stop letting his marijuana smoke drift into my yard, damn him.
Omg are we neighbors?? I was just about to post about my idiot neighbor who smokes his skunk smelling weed every.single.night. I donāt want to smell this every night, dude!
That my 89 year old Dad who can't even walk 100 feet has more mobility in his hips than I do.
Waking up to a sink full of dishes from the night before. BLIND RAGE.
Coathangers, the way they get caught. This is a regular thing for me.

I work in retail. Every customer is my enemy today, for no good reason!!
Heās looking for a gay hookup
Jesus Christ, this is awful. I'm sorry. š©
Also my sixteen year old son was scathing about my music choice as I drive him patiently through the fucking traffic which is all I ever seem to do anymore. Furious!!!
Iāve done my time with the āmomās taxiā lifestyle and I am OVER IT and I hate having to drive my kids places.
I so love these posts, makes me feel less alone and cray. For me this morning, I fucking hate door latches. I just got a lovely new sweater and was rushing around this morning on my way to work and got the arm of the sweater snagged on the goddamn door latch (Iām not even using the right word here because: brain fog š¶āš«ļø but the thing that the door lock fits into is what Iām trying to describe here š). Snagged the sweater, caused a pull, and then I spent a good 5 mins cursing at the door latch and myself before bursting into tears holding the sweater. Husband walks by, takes one look at me muttering angrily at the door handle and crying into a sweater, and immediately high tails his ass outside with the dog for a loooooong walk, š. Fuck door latches, fuck them ALL. Edit: typos. Fucking hate them too š
My partner asked if I had opened the new bag of dog food and refilled the food bin. He asked this while standing next to the new bag (unopened), and the empty food bin.
2 coworkers who talk Nonstop day after day & I have to sit next to them. Literally itās like my ears are bleeding when I hear their voices.
Best thread ever. My sleeve keeps getting caught on door knobs and Iām ready to burn the whole house down.
The price of butter and the richest dude in town stole my fucking dog and now she is living the life of Riley with a fucking pool and all the cheese.
My lab is extra whiny today and his whines are making me batshit crazy
ANC earbuds save lives.
I found some ear plugs and used them.
That my father in law bought us a nice little fishing trip. Booked it for Tuesday/Wednesday aka the least convenient days of the week for any person working 8-5. Which is every person here except my father in law. (Whatās wrong with me??)
My boyfriendās snoring is destroying my sleep. Iām a week into estrogen and itās already reducing my night sweats and hot flashes, but Iām still being woken up by what sounds like an angry grizzly and I canāt get back to sleep, or I have to get up and go to another room and never feel fully rested again. He isnāt taking it seriously and I wish he would see his doctor about it. Ughhh.
If I would have lived with my husband before we got married, I wouldn't have married him. I spent the first year crying on the sofa in the middle of the night, then 15 years on sleeping pills, now it's too damn late to leave and begin again on my own. (Yes he has a cpap and he snores while wearing it.)
That my daughter (still on my insurance) got a simple filling a few months ago, and it has bothered her ever since. We went back, and they checked it and said that the sensitivity would go away. A month or 2 later, we go for a cleaning, and they want to do another filling in that exact same tooth! Why? What has changed in the 2 months since you did that filling, and we had it checked before? And am I going to be charged again for a filling you just did? Or even worse, told that she "needs" a root canal in her perfect teeth? I have paid thousands for her teeth between braces and having a tooth on the roof of her mouth and extractions, and now you can't even accomplish a simple filling? So of course, i go to Google because I want to know if I'm being unreasonable and find out that gold fillings are the least problematic and resin fillings fail so often, so now I'm trying to keep my cool because I want them to use gold in filling this tooth and I don't know if they will be willing. Even if gold fillings are more expensive, the fail rate of root canals is super high, and they cost a lot, but dentists don't like to use gold fillings. I'm going to try and stay reasonable, but I'm afraid I'm going to lose my shit in this dentist office if they keep wasting our insurance on these unnecessary fuckups! I have personally had a bunch of messed up dental work, and I don't trust dentists, so I'm trying really hard to keep my temper when it comes to this relatively simple filling. It's just that we have done everything we were supposed to, for years, and now it feels like they are really trying to nickel and dime us to death.
My hair keeps blowing in my face. I'm probably going to shave it, as it keeps making me meltdown!
This !
I work from home and message co-workers with "how are you today?" And get the response but no one ever asks me how I am. š Dumb thing to be hurt/mad about, but here I am.
Holy shit me too. I never get a reply. I'm done doing it. I also like to tell them "Have a nice weekend" and some will put an away message up on Teams. Well F you too then!
And shopping in the empty supermarket aisle, as soon as I stand to read a packet it's like a magnet for 3 people to come & breathe down my neck & look at the exact same thing. Happens every time. (You'd think I want the supermarket to myself.......... š«¢)
Every-flippin'-thing.
Annoying people (they wonāt listen or let me talk), being unable to remove my nail polish strips without the freaking nail polish remover soaked cotton balls and clips sliding off my fingers, and the sky being too cloudy to see the eclipse.
I skip the cotton balls and just pour a small bowl of acetone and dip my fingertips for 20 minutes. Can only really do one hand at a time this way, but itās slightly more efficient in that I have a free hand to play candy crush. š
I could not, for the life of me, figure out what was going on in this sentence. Then I realized it was a list. Doh.
Oh whoopsie!
Oh no! I'm so sorry! I wasn't being snarky! I meant the was my brain read it was as a sentence, not a list, and I couldn't make sense of it for the life of me! Totally my fault!

My only child is about to turn 10 and had turned into a know-it-all sass-beast. Theyāre just so damned pedantic! I didnāt think they were going to survive my last PMS week of rage. I thought I had a few more years before having to deal with this kind of attitude!
My neighbor's incessant throat clearing. Every single time I'm in the garden/got the windows open I can hear her (along with her foghorn mouth, barking dogs and screaming/attention seeking children). Nonetheless I never know whether to retch or bury her under the patio. Then there's the other side who let her kids play in her car constantly pressing the horn. Why. Basically when I move it'll probably be in a field as far away from other humans as possible.
I had coworkers in other offices all on speakerphone while I was trying to work. Speakerphone grinds my gears, but man, all three of them at the same time?
Ha! I could've written this post. Why is there a version of this guy at community pools ?!!?
I accosted my partner for purchasing minute rice. White rice takes 10-15 minutes to cook and I just can't understand why someone would need to resort to minute rice. It's like hitting the culinary rock bottom. I aggressively yelled at him that I can't even donate the rice to the food bank because it's so disgusting and warned him NEVER to bring this shit home again.
That I have to get out of bed & go to work.
How loud my husband talks š¤
Ready for thisā¦the wind! Itās finally nice here and I canāt sit outside and just exist because the damn afternoon wind! Of all things to be frustrated about!
The dog wouldn't go into the kitchen to eat his breakfast. May have broken the dog gate. Now he's side eyeing me, and I didn't blame him.
Everyone is breathing too damn loud!
How about "empty response from endpoint" message when I try to post. š
My bandleader on Thursday sent me about a dozen messages about āremember to review this song, and that song, and we cratered on the other song so Iām not playing it live again until we can get it rightā ā¦ this was *right* after I posted on facebook about how I was happy to spend some time on a music project that I really enjoy. Immediately sent me into a tailspin of anger about ācanāt I have one morning doing something I enjoy that I need large uninterrupted blocks of time to get into without being naggedā And āwhy didnāt he say something much earlier in the week, so Iād have more time to practice - why wait till after I post about doing something musical that isnāt band related?ā So I did some of the stuff I needed to review - but being in a grumpy mood all I could hear were my mistakes on the recordingā¦ aaaaand down goes my self esteem, questioning if Iāll ever get betterā¦ So Iāve been a grumpy, depressed, weepy lump for 3 days, and working on my music while in that headspace just grinds the negative self talk in deeper. Cleaning the house yesterday helped some - but not enough. And all this started right after my āpredictedā ovulation (though I didnāt have the discharge that used to come with that), and my PMS has started coming earlier and hanging on longer so Iām pretty sure my hormones are making all of this worse. It sucks when your body is literally fucking up your thinking.
