This is a real rant post, and I know I am going to sound like a completely loopy biatch or a person, but these are 10 things that rub me up the wrong way, make my blood pressure rise, and darn right annoy the crap out of me.
1. The water pipe that burst on Friday night – I mean really… Friday night? COME ON – stupid
things always happen in the evening, before bath time. Hello universe, we have
a small child…. And it’s getting cold, we need HOT water!
2.
Hot Water Pipes
– due to the water being turned off and back on, the hot water pipe got
blocked. OMG – talk about bad luck – I went to have a lovely bubble bath with
Keaton on Sunday eve, and there was NO hot water. All I wanted to do was have a
nice hot bath, and was left to bathing him in Luke warm water – not that he minded,
but it was not about him.
3.
Hearing people chewing and swallowing – this has to be the worst thing in the world. I cannot
stand it, it drives me mad, and I want to shout so loudly at the person doing
it. I try to make a conscious effort not to chew and swallow loudly, I think I
have trained my mouth to be quite, so to have to listen to people chewing chips,
chewing soup (YES SOUP), and gulping down liquids is one of the most vile sounds
ever, and it makes me want to take what they are eating and shove it all the
way down their throat.
4.
People who are late for things – I pride myself on being on time, or early for
things, there is nothing worse than having to wait for people who are running
late because they have absolutely no time management skills. I mean really, if
you know you are going out somewhere at a certain time, don’t wait until five
minutes before you are due to leave to suddenly decide to get ready, its very
rude. I have a few friends who are always late for things, and it makes me so
angry, if you cant be bothered to be on time – then don’t make plans with me.
5.
People who just act stupid or just incompetent– there are some things in life that are better shown as a picture. this phrase is one of them!
6.
The dog - I love our dog, really I do, but he drives me absolutely up the wall. He has dermatitis on this paws, and he is constantly licking and chewing them, obviously because they itch. You will be lying there sleeping, and you get woken up to this , "ttttttttchchchchch", I cant even write how it sounds because it its so flipping annoying, I literally find where he is, and projectile kick him off the bed. He will also sit and chew his chewy bones, and make the same noise, no matter how loud the TV goes, my ears just zone into that noise.
7.
People who get annoyed with you when you don’t
agree with their opinion – This is the case with my husband. Not all the time,
but a lot of the time, If my opinion differs to his in anyway – he gets
annoyed. Hello, I can have my own opinion, and just because its not the same
as yours, doesn't make it dumb, or any less than yours. Thankfully our
difference in opinions are over totally random stupid small things, but its
easier to sometimes just let him believe that I agree with him to save me
getting mad.
8.
People who make fun at people with disabilities, – I can't begin to explain how angry it makes me when I go somewhere and there is someone in a wheel chair, or has a walking aid, and people are just blatantly staring at them. Did your parents honestly never tell you that it was rude to stare? I want to walk up to them and get right in their face and just stare at them so that they know what its like to be stared and gawked at all the time. Just because someone looks or speaks differently to you, doesn't make them any different, so why should they be judged, and emotionally abused by some idiot who was not taught manners as a child.
9.
People who compare kids – I think this has gotten worse since becoming a mom.
I cant stand people who post on Facebook group pages about their child doing
something, and then all these bitchy mothers post back claiming that their
child is so much better and was sleeping through the night from 5 seconds after
it was born. Do I care? NO!!!! well-done that your child is a future Einstein,
and could recite the alphabet at 6 weeks old, but honestly, keep it to
yourself, don’t do bursting someone else s bubble who is just over joyed that their 5 month old baby slept 8 hours, or their 6 week old can say "goo gaaaa", I
mean come on! I have to bite my tongue so often with people who just go on and
on and on.
10.
People who lack their own originality – I don’t consider my self to be a copy cat, I like
to come up with different things, that are semi original (most times an adaption of something I have seen somewhere, ok on Pinterest), so when someone
goes and copies something I have done, and makes it so blatantly obvious that they
have copied me, makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up so much, I go
into like this survival mode. I suppose I should be flattered that someone actually
things what I have done is cool – maybe the first or second time, but after
that, come one – go on Pinterest yourself and get your own dam ideas.
Okay so there you have it... 10 things that drive me up the wall, do you have anything that makes your blood pressure rise? I would love to know.

Great list! The water pipe stinks! My hubs travels a lot for work and it seems like things always go wrong when he is gone!
ReplyDeleteIts annoying how there is always something that has to go wrong!!!!!!
DeleteYes, yes, yes!!!! We are so alike its scary lol i hate people who are late too! Drives me bonkers!! Brilliant post claire!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlene- it is crazy how similar we are! I read your post sometimes and I think hang on.... This is me!!!!!! He he!
DeleteLove this! Stopping by from #TuesdayTen! I have to agree with you on 5, 7, 8, & 9! LOL! I could for sure add a few others as well! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Stacey! I thought of some after I posted this - perhaps we need to do a sequel! Have a fab weekend too :)
DeleteOur main water line broke as well at our house, its an old home 1939, my husband and I came home from work to our yard dug up and a note on our door from the city saying they found a leak in the line and had to shut off our water. Wow thanks for the heads up that you were even coming to check it out. I work in a dental office and have spit on me when I get home and a shower is a must.
ReplyDeleteAlso my nephew just got diagnosed with a disease where its hard for him to walk, sometimes he has to use a wheel chair, he told me that at school when he is struggling walking some of the kids will hit his legs with their backpacks. I understand bullying happens everywhere but come on people, what are you teaching your kids when in 1st grade your children are picking on a kid that struggles to walk. UGHHHH.
thanks for letting me vent.

OMG that is horrible - both of them, I honestly cannot believe how some kids act, surely their parents cant aim to bring them up like that! That is just mean.
DeleteI would be the same as you regarding the water, and the shower, whenever I am unable to do something, it just makes it that much worse, I would be freaking out if I got home to a dug up yard ,and no water.
Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to vent at anytime ;)
UgH! We had a pipe burst over the winter. Thankfully is was something we could turn off without affecting the water supply in the house. I can just imagine if e had to go without water!
ReplyDeleteThey always seem to happen at the worst possible time, and in the most sneaky places.... I think they plan these attacks on us!!! :-) Thanks for stopping by x
