What do you want to rant about today? #41

[LanyardedHeretic]

Cycling on the road today and following all rules etc. On a narrow 20mph residential street. Beeped at by a car behind me and yelled at to get on the f---g pavement. Ffs. Sorry for making you go slower for 15 seconds.

I have a high energy dog he’s still young but it’s exhausting. I totally get why you’re demented.

Shes 3 and she is lovely. I feel bad for witching but im used to a cat who is very independent and does her own thing.

(I'm Scottish and proud). Bagpipes when played well are very moving. Flower Of Scotland (played well) makes the hair on my arms stand up and gives me a lump in my throat. However ... if your neighbour throws her son outside to practice the bagpipes it's not the best . I genuinely thought someone had stood on a seagull .

Actually feel bad for the kid because I think he thought he'd get a round of applause like we did during COVID for the NHS. The other side loudly slammed their windows shut!

I bloody love bagpipes. Probably because a lovely bloke I worked with was piped out when he left.
The sound really gets to you, makes you really emotional.
Either that or it's my Scottish genes twanging.

That’s not big at all. In fact, I’m jel because I’m 5’9 too but despite being on 15mg of Mounjaro for the last six months, I can’t get below 13st9. You’ve done amazingly well.

Lol same. Well I had to stop MJ,now even bigger

The vampire lestat being released in the US and not here in the uk yet! I’ve waited months I can watch it on but it’s not the same. Bams!!

 

[bargainhunt99]

Absolutely! And a ban in all shops for shirtless men. Keep your tops on! I don’t want to look at your (mostly) flabby bodies and it can’t be hygienic!

Just started reading this thread as bored with the footy. My mid twenties neighbor insists on walking past my flat with his top off when it's warm. It wouldn't bother me so much but he's absolutely covered in spots all over his back, shoulders and chest Sometimes I wish I hadn't bought a ring doorbell

I hate bagpipes and im scottish. I dont like irn bru either since they changed it. Although 1901 isn't too bad.

I do have my scotland flag on the balcony flying high for tonight.

I opened a revolut account last year, I thought I would test to see if I could transfer money to it from another account, sent £1 & it sent it straight back to the account I paid it from, said all I needed to know, can't use it on apple pay/Google pay either, I've never used it since.

I've had an account with them for a few years. Never had a problem. Luckily.

 

[dressinggownofdoom]

I need to rant at myself, got so drunk last night after going out on an empty stomach, was sick, pretty sure my boyfriend hates me. I feel so embarrassed and stupid I’m old enough to know better ffs

Hope you are feeling better now! The day after hangover fear is real.

Just found out ‘The Works’ no longer offer online shopping! I would often bulk buy books and crafts online as our local shop weren’t worth bothering with as it’s tiny so don't stock a lot. Hope they’re not in trouble.

My mother, we are all on a weekend away together, lots of family and all the annoyances that come with that- but I was bending down into the fridge earlier to assemble some lunch for my son and she just yelled out ‘Jarvis, stop GOBBLING random things from the fridge!’ We are in a bloody barn conversion so the acoustics meant everyone and the farmer in the next village heard it.

I mean she’s clearly been spending too much time on Mumsnet as children aren’t allowed to wantonly snack less they end up on my 600lb Life but I’m 40 ffs, if I wanted to eat my own ham from a packet I bloody well would. She’s lucky she didn’t get a slice of torchon flipped into her face like ham a frisbee.

Why do they feel the need to randomly food shame like that?!

I absolutely can’t stand food shaming, it gets me so angry it is SO bloody rude! I don’t think people realise how damaging food talk can be, and randomly, insensitively shaming someone can be so detrimental

Oh and she knows- I was anorexic and receiving treatment for a good portion of my twenties. That was a long time ago and you wouldn’t know it now (happily) but unless she’s had a lobotomy in the intervening years it’s actually astounding that she’d make these kind of comments to me. Or is it

I'm off to the vets yet again with my darling old boy. He's 13 and so far we're 7 weeks into a flare up of colitis set off by antibiotics. I'm £1500 down so far and he's literally no better than when we first went. Bloods/urine all show nothing major, but he's also battling heart failure and I'm so depressed with it all let alone the poor dog. He's fairly well in himself given his age but between special food, steroids making him pee every 2 hours during the night and whimpering because he's in pain because he spat up the painkillers.... it's going to be another difficult weekend.

Poor boy! Are you giving him probiotics to replace the healthy gut bacteria that the antibiotics have killed? You can get some online, it’s called Pro-kolin, I think, available on Amazon.

Next time you see him, open the window and chuck some spot cream at his head

Or just a spoonful of live yoghurt on his food.

Yes, but the priobiotic paste is much more effective, as it's packed full of live bacteria, much more than you get in yoghurt.

People who can't string a sentence together give me the ick.

I work in customer care and someone got in touch today. Instead of saying, "The issue is..." or even "The thing is...", they wrote:

"The things that..."

It'd probably help if he didn't live in filth and ate something apart from a takeaway. Scruffy sod.

I stupidly went to a festival yesterday, without wearing any sun protection cream. I can't wear sun screen, without it irritating my skin, so I didn't apply any. Needless to say I now have burnt arms and a red nose. Not happy.

Can anyone recommend a sunscreen which will not irritate my skin, which doesn't cost a fortune, and can be bought in a high street shop please?
