If social media is anything to actually judge real life by, we’re all feeling a bit… ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS.
And it’s fair enough – we’d list all the ways things are a nightmare, but you know them all too well. However, we couldn’t help but notice there are certain things during lockdown that are specifically and disproportionately annoying. How many of these have made you see red?
11 Things That Are Disproportionately Upsetting During Lockdown
1 of 11When you put five things in your basket just to secure the coveted booking slot in Sainsbury and forget to take them out…
Look, that's the ONLY reason we've currently got three litres of vodka and a bottle of champagne winging its way to us, OK?
2 of 11When your baby doesn’t sleep for the allotted nap time and that’s 25% of your working day lost…
Why didn't they teach us in Sing And Sign to tell our children, 'THERE IS A PANDEMIC ON CAN YOU JUST SLEEP PLEASE?'
3 of 11When something doesn’t come in your online shop so you’re stuck with 34 other ingredients you can’t do anything with.
We don't know why we even attempted an Ottolenghi, but we did. And now we have 34 herbs, but not the crucial 35th. Cool.
4 of 11When your friend CANNOT SORT HER INTERNET OUT for a Zoom Call.
Why can your internet not handle it? Where did you buy it? 1996? See also: People who can't monitor if they're on mute. Just check, just look at your screen and check.
5 of 11When you’d psyched yourself up to do exercise and a work call gets added into your diary.
Sure, 3.30pm is technically work hours, but what even are hours these days. And we'd just spent six hours sat in lycra in anticipation FFS.
6 of 11When your online shop doesn’t fit and you have to send it back.
Obviously this is always annoying, but when the post office queue is socially distanced 50 metres down the High Street, we're just not loving life.
7 of 11When you manage to do your hair perfectly - for literally no one.
A solid lockdown advancement on juuuust getting your hair right as you're going to bed. See also: getting the perfect fringe length two weeks ago when you couldn't meet anyone.
8 of 11Watching a TV show with someone and having to wait for them to watch the next episode.
Desperate to find out why Kerry Washington is always running away on Little Fires Everywhere - and then your boyfriend gets asked to join a call on US time. No. Not cool.
9 of 11Perfect beer garden weather.
When all the beer gardens are all closed. Isn't that an Alanis Morisette lyric or something?
10 of 11Knowing exactly how quickly you've eaten the biscuits on your 'desk' at 'work'.
Because, guess what, there's no one else to blame anymore...
11 of 11Having a genuine craving for banana bread.
Because everyone thinks it's all very hilariously passé, but you know what? It's delicious. We'd also add when it's 8pm and you've got a chocolate craving and you'd just usually pop to the shops, but then that's just... lockdown, isn't it? Not being able to go places...
