It’s about context though. Given the history of Britains colonization of Pakistan, the word p*ki is obviously going to be more offensive to British Pakistanis. To you it may just be like a shortening of the word, but to them it’s considered a slur so we don’t use it.

Incompetent new colleague asking us to 'chill' and 'there is no rush' when our tasks are tied to his and we cannot be done with our workday until he has finished his side of the job. I get that this close to retirement you stop giving a duck but causing others delays because you get overwhelmed by every single task you need to complete in a day's work is extremely inconsiderate. He has the nerve to act like we're being too fussy when everyone else is sick of his tardiness.
My point was why is that word considered more insulting than all the other words. I didn't say that word was less insulting.Are you black? If you’re not I guess that’s why the N word doesn’t seem as bad to you as the others you listed, but all the words are as bad as each other in my opinion. I heard someone call my boyfriend the N word once and I also heard someone called my friend p*ki ( don’t even like to write it) and I was equally disgusted both times.
People can be such bastards, I’m sorry you’ve experienced racism
I’d say probably because of the association of the word with the trans Atlantic slave trade. The other examples that you gave don’t have the same association.
My neighbour putting his rubbish in my wheelie bin. Last time I took a bag out on Wednesday, it was only half full. He's put 3 full bags in there since then and filled it up. 
use your own bloody bin
use your own bloody bin
This..
I will have put all the washing away, washing basket empty then it feels like I blink and there's another basket of washing to put away and another load of washing ready to put on. It's the same with recycling, feels like you've just put 10 things in the outside bin then all of a sudden there's another 20 things that need to go out. And the kitchen bin ways seems to need taking out. Feels like you put a new toilet roll on then it needs a new one the next hour *obvs exaggerating the last one but you get the gist*

mine is hoovering and mopping. I hoover and mop and I feel like I blink and there's bit on the floor again
Drivers who seem to think that as soon as they indicate to come into a lane then its automatically their right of way
Not even looking to see if there is a car in that line close to them or not and then to make it worse they don’t even match your speed they just force you to slow down
For conext i was in third lane doing 70, (3 other cars behind me) driver in middle lane indicates to come to my lane (and pulls over as soon as he indicates) and then goes at 65mph making us all have to slow down!

My husband, who for the past few months has decided I’m not an adult and cant judge hazards for myself.
Carrying a cup of tea- careful
Walking up the stairs- careful
Driving to work- careful
Walking out of his office- careful
Ive just carried a cup of tea upstairs to his office. You would think I was defusing a bomb.
I don’t know what’s brought this on but it’s getting on my nerves. I know he’s just looking out for me but it makes me feel like a child.

Job adverts with a "competitive salary".
Either disclose a salary band or piss off please.

Exactly. Competitive compared to what, a brain surgeon or a carer ?
Time to get a lock hun.My neighbour putting his rubbish in my wheelie bin. Last time I took a bag out on Wednesday, it was only half full. He's put 3 full bags in there since then and filled it up.
Or something like this without drilling.

Behaviour of school kids is horrendous lately and getting worse. Started since the lockdowns and generally is soooo bad. They just don’t care. It’s never been this bad and I’ve been teaching for years.
Sorry I just realised that I posted a picture of bin clamps to keep them upright but you get the idea. 
Take it out and put it on his driveway if he has one, or leave it on his doorstep if he doesn't. He won't do it again (this is what I did to my neighbour, who now dumps his rubbish in other people's bins but not mine.My neighbour putting his rubbish in my wheelie bin.

I feel your pain, last year our new neighbours had the Kitchen remodelled, For FOUR BLOODY WEEKS, drove Mother
and myself mad.
Oh god poor you, building noise is the worst.
The drilling went on til 4.30. I don't even think they had a lunch break.
They're having an extension built so I think we probably have a few months of noise to come
but I'm really hoping not all of it will be this noisy.Just to add: neighbour having the extension is not the hole who put his rubbish in my bin, he's on the other side. The noisy neighbours have been perfect up to now!
They better do some serious arse kissing, ours didn't say jack tit, not even an apology.Oh god poor you, building noise is the worst.

You'll be glad you're not my neighbour
we've had 2 big extensions, garage knocked down and garden remodeled in the 4 years we've lived here. I've never apologised to the neighbours. Never even crossed my mind to do so . Didn't even tell them we were doing our permitted development one. Diggers just turned up one day - Status
